Science:Does air have weight?

On the 29/10/13 our class did a science experiment on air and if it has a weight and it does. This is something on how air does have weight.  Hope you enjoy reading this. :)

Does air have weight?

Equipment: Ruler

                   2 newspapers, or one

Prediction: Q. Does air have weight?

No, air does not have weight because if it did, we would be carrying air.

A. Air does have weight, it weighs 15 pounds per square inch.

Observe: When Ollie karate chopped the ruler it didn’t break because nothing was on the end of it, Mr M got a piece of newspaper and scrunched it up and placed it on the ruler. This time the when Ollie karate chopped the ruler the ruler did not snap but the scrunched newspaper went into the air and floated down in 5 seconds. Mr M got newspaper and instead of screwing it up, he flattened it and placed it on top of the ruler. Now when Ollie karate chopped the ruler it snapped, why you say, well if you want to now read my explanation below.

Explain: The ruler broke because Mr M had flattened the newspaper , and while he was doing that air was coming out causing the air to push down onto the newspaper and the ruler would eventually break or snap. This sometimes failed because the newspaper wasn’t flattened enough.

Whoa, fascinating.

Fire the catapult!

Optimist Yachting 3

Here is my  reflection of day 3 and I have created a lego yacht with 3 people in it, the one with the black hood is me, the one in the green cap is Elijah and the one with black hair is Shivom. I hope you like it! Please comment. :)

Reflection for Yachting/Kayaking reflection: Day 3

Something I was pleased with was that people participated and didn’t lose their paddles in kayaking because if they didn’t participate they WILL lose their paddle.

I really enjoyed learning how to steer the yacht with the rudder because it was fun to steer and I knew how to tack.

Something I found hard was kayaking in a double because I would get a sore back and my legs would get tired.

Something that made me think was which way to turn when it was my turn to do the rudder because I would need to know to tack, or turn left or right, or, just make the rudder go straight.

Something I want to get better at is controlling the main sheet.(What can I do about it?) Let someone else do the main sheet?

Optimist yachting 2

Here is my second reflection of optimist yachting and kayaking and it was a bit windy,  but at least I had fun. I created a Taxedo of my reflection on Tagxedo - Creator. Hope you enjoy my reflection and taxedo! Please comment. :)

Reflection for Yachting/Kayaking:Day 2

Something I was pleased with was how nobody fell out of their yacht in the windy wind because if they did they will get cold and will be unable to kayak.

I really enjoyed learning how to go under the bridge without snapping the end of the paddle because if I didn’t learn it I would have broken the paddle!

Something I found hard was balancing the boat because the wind was tipping the boat and making it go all crazy and the boat went fast when I loosened the main sheet.

Something that made me think was kayaking because I would need to know which way to left and right backwards and forwards.

Something I want to get better at is paddling faster. (What can I do about it?)  Put my back into it?

Optimist Yachting

Here is my Optimist Yachting and kayaking reflection of day 1 and I also created a Go Animate video, I had fun riding the yacht and kayaking. Please comment. :)

Reflection for Yachting/Kayaking: Day 1

Something I was pleased with was how people didn’t sink their boats because if they did it would cost maybe $100.                       

I really enjoyed learning how to capsize and steer the boat while someone moves the main sheet. I really enjoyed steering the yacht because it was fun and amazing, I really liked capsizing because it was scary and cool.

Something I found hard was controlling the main sheet because I would have to loosen or tighten the rope so we wouldn't crash into the people who were kayaking.

Something that made me think was watching were the sail/main sheet was heading because it would hit my head and I did not want to end up unconscious.

Something I want to get better at is controlling the sail. (What can I do about it?) Maybe when I need to go fast tighten the rope and when I need to slow down loosen the rope?
