Room 10 Fractions Maths. 20/8/2014

This game is called fraction flags. In this game you have to get the colours that say a fraction on it and show the fraction. My high score is 99. I got 99 because I knew some of the fractions and I didn't know some of the other fractions because they were twelfths and tenths. Next time I will learn my twelfths fractions and my tenths fractions so I can be good at my fractions in learning. I hope I can get a better score next time.

Excessive sounds. 29 / 7 / 2014

How we hear sounds. 22. 7. 2014 When we hear sounds this what actually happens. Firstly the sound waves enter the canal of the ear that makes the eardrum vibrate. Next the vibrations pass through three connected bones in the middle of the ear. Then this motion sets fluid moving in the inner ear. After that the moving fluid bends thousands of delicate hair like cells which convert the vibrations into the nerve impulses. Finally it goes in the brain, these impulses are converted into what we hear as sound.
