The Differences between Physical and Chemical change

• Physical Change

A Physical change is the process of turning something into something and being able to change it back to it's original form.

An example of a Physical Change, is the process of Ice. This is a physical change because you're able to melt ice and turn it into a liquid substance and freeze it back and turn it back into it's original form which is Ice.

• Chemical Change

A Chemical change is the process of turning something into another without it being reversible. This process is irreversible and whatever it changes into stays that way.

An example of a Chemical Change is the process of burning paper. This is a chemical change because when you burn paper it turns into ashes and you are unable to turn it back into paper.

The sun slowly fell and the fireworks started to come out. The faint whistles of the fireworks filled the sky and colourful bursts of flames started to spring out. The fireworks screamed while exploding in the dark sky leaving sparks of flames. The smoke escaped from the fireworks filling the air and the gunpowder left dark marks on the ground. As the fireworks kept going off the excitement inside continued to rise. The Peony firework left everyone in awe, the expanding globe of colour had everyone freeze in shock of the beauty that it held. Children had faces of amusement and had thrills of laughter.The fireworks overtook the sky and lingered around until the sun slowly started to appear. Soon after the children skipped back home with joy and the excitement died down and faded. The hype had everyone excited for next year.

Scientific Method: Burning Newspapers

T4W4 : MONDAY                                                                                                     

Burning Newspapers

Ask a question: What will happen when newspapers burn?

Construct a hypothesis (make a guess): I think it will crinkle up and go in flames, at the end will turn into ashes

Conduct the experiment: We burnt the newspaper and it turned black and into ashes

Record your observations and data colour change: As soon as the fire touched the newspaper, smoke and steam escaped from it. The parts that the fire touched turned black and burned, and the fire quickly spread around. Smoke quickly started pouring out and the air filled with the smell of smoke. The smoke and fire continued to burn until water was poured onto the fire. The fire disappeared but smoke continued to come out and a sizzling noise was heard.

Analyse information: Fire was lit onto the newspaper Smoke and steam escaped The fire spread around Water was thrown onto the fire A sizzling noise was heard The fire went out but the smoke continued to come out The smoke disappeared

Report results: I found that my hypothesis was accurate and correct because I’ve seen newspapers burn before and I know what happens.

  

Technology: Hotcakes with Ice Cream

Technology: Hotcakes with Ice Cream 31 October 2017

For technology this week, we made hotcakes with ice cream and chocolate sauce. We learnt the different things that go in to make hotcakes and how to know when one is ready to flip over. We also learnt the differences between hotcakes and pancakes. I found this really fun and I enjoyed making and eating the dish.

Next time I’m going to try aim for a 5P or higher. I haven't made any progress from the start of the year but hopefully when I try harder next time I can get a better score.

You are Marion

Do you think it’s still worth celebrating it away from your home country?  Explain why?

I think it is still worth celebrating because it is apart of my religion and culture. Even if I’m away from my home country it is still good to celebrate it because it is an huge part of my identity and who I am.

You are Asli?

Will the tradition of henna decoration continue?

Yes, the tradition of Henna will continue because it is something that is apart of my culture and I would like to share with the people around me whether it would be my friends, family, or even my future kids. I would like them to be proud of who they are and be confident.

Henna decoration is not allowed at school. What would you do?

I would first ask why that is and if their reason isn’t very good I would try to persuade the school system to let people wear to school because it is something the describes me and defines my identity.

You are Asli’s best friend.

What will be your reaction when you see Asli with the henna decoration on her hands and feet?

I would be very intrigued and very interested in what had happened to her hands and feet. I would also find it very cool and most likely want to try henna out on myself.
