Gummy worms

Gummy worms

We are learning how to make Gummy worms. I enjoyed doing the experiment but it was hard to write about it.

Have you ever wondered what makes a polymer?
A polymer is more than a monomer. First mix water (2 cups) into a clear bowl then put 1 tsp of calcium chloride in. Then get a pipette and suck up the sodium alginate (from seaweed). Then squeeze the pipette into the bowl to make gummy worms.

   
                   

Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa                                                                                         

We have been learning about saints this year.
I did Mother Teresa because she helped a lot people and she also healed people.
It was pretty hard searching up her facts but it was easy to write them.

Mother Teresa was born in August 26 1910. Mother Teresa's birth name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Mother Teresa lived in India for 18 years and she was a citizen of India. In 1950, Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation that had over 4,500 nuns and was active in 133 countries in 2012. Teresa died in 1997 at age 87. Mother Teresa was born in Uskub, Skopje, the capital city of the Republic of Macedonia. She was canonized as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. After several years of being sick with heart, lung and kidney problems, Mother Teresa died on September 5, 1997, at the age of 87 because she got heart failure.

Rat traps

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about setting tracking tunnels and traps to find out who are the predators and also we found out that there were rat and mice footprints in the tracking tunnels.We think that a cat came and stole the peanut butter from the tracking tunnels so t can have a taste of it.

Kauri came in and taught us how to set traps and tracking tunnels so how to set a tracking tunnels is that first you get a rectangle card and then ink and peanut butter in to the middle.

When you set a trap you need to remember these top tips that you don’t put your finger in the trap or you will get your finger snapped off.

We hope to catch a stoat,rat,mice,ferrets and mouse.
