==== These are my goals and if you scr oll down there is the Science Q&A. Send me a Question! And also give me feedback on my goals and Science Q&A. I will answer your question on my page. Feel free to delete it after you have read it. When to use it: When you have a question nagging at you or after an experiment or presentation I or someone else does. Or an experiment the teachers run. It would also be nice if the teachers or someone could leave me a question about something that they know the answer to so I can answer something to learn what it is about. It is my //learning// page after all. ==== Take a look at my Check This Out! Section. Every week I find something interesting and post on my page! Feel free to tell me something to post.

Goals acheived and proof:

Reading Goal: Making Inferences. Proof of acheivement below.

Making Inferences in fictional texts. Making Inferences is like making predictions, only you infer what will happen for example: what they will do to the charater who effects the story. In detail infering is to predict the outcome, traits or meaning of a characters actions or appreance. For example: 'The girl sprang along with a spring in her step and a beautiful bow in her hair'. From that you can infer that the girl is a happy person. Now I don't know if a bow means your happy but, from my knowledge I can infer that. (I dont know much about girls) That is important as to infer you need to make connections with your own knowledge. Also using evidence from the text will aslo help to show your infering. For Example: 'As I drove down the boulevard yellow, brown and red leaves were falling' From the part "Yellow, brown and red leaves were falling" you can infer that it is Autumn because your evidence from the text would be the colour of the leaves. Thanks for Reading. Below is a video of a myterious event infer what is happening.

Reading responses

After reading the first chapter of this book I felt intrigued. Because it was funny. This is a science book and I think it should have a mixture of things that are interesting and informal and should draw the reader in. I belive science books shouldn't just be for nerds, but everyone. They are just as funny and exciting as anything. This one especially as the author puts in so many funny footnotes that have hint of information. So just try reading this book 'Small wonders' by Idan Ben Barak and you will see. (it has it's boring parts.)



The genre of this book is science because it has it has got factual references. I say 'factual references' because some writing is of opinion and the rest is random characters saying things topical toward the chapter. But it still has heaps of info, stuff about primary things of microbes like: splitting eating and evolving. Not the stereotype evolution but another... read the book and you will find out (it is confusing).



What I want to remember about this book is the bonus track with Pete and Dud. A bonus track is a thing in this book were the author says stuff irrevelant to the book that is normally really funny and one contains Peter cooke and Dudley moore. I want ot remember this and always will. Plus you can't eat nematodes. (you will only get this if you read the book)



I noticed that the author's purpose for this book was to entertain and inform people of things about the wonderful world of microbes. And it certainly does that! It is noticable because the author is very smart he seems to know alot about microbes, stuff that I didn't even know about microbes. But he is also comedic. Now I have said this alot but he also wrote the book to raise awarness that science isn't boring just covered up.



The author got me interested when he included Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore. Because Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore are funny. Yes. Are they science freaks. No. Interesting... Also Microbes and Rule in the same sentence Interesting... Lastly he also intrigued me when I read the blurb some interesting things came up: sulphur: a tasty treat; and oxygen: deadly gas. Oxygen is the essential of life! so it seems... Interesting...

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px;">MY WEEKLY TIMETABLES TO DO: Learning journal Change Writing Kahootz Goals

Luc and Matthew's Change project On Physical and Chemical change.

Nuclear energy.

There are two types of Nuclear energy: Fission and Fusion. They are completely opposite as one splits the atom of which the energy is being created from while the other joins them. they are the same in the sense that they both create a certain amount of energy.

__** FISSION **__ Fission is what humans use to create nuclear energy. In fission the nuceli of the atom is spilt causing energy to be released. This method of creating nuclear energy is used in nuclear power-plants and the atomic bomb. Uranium (atomic number 92) is mostly used in nuclear fission reactors. Uranium has alot of good properties: 1) it is easliy split by shooting neutrons at them 2) it releases multiple neutrons after being split (chain reaction) which is why Uranium is a favourable atom for using in nuclear reactors. Click atomanimation.piv to see fission in action!



__** FUSION **__ Nuclear fusion only happens in very hot conditions. It's when two nuceli fuse to create heat and light (and energy) On the sun hydrogen is turned into helium by nuclear fusion. The hydrogen bomb uses fusion and needs a atom bomb to produce enough heat for it to explode. Click atomanimation2.piv to see fusion in action!



MATTER (5 states)

Matter is anything that takes up a volume; mass; and space. Since our project is on physical and chemical change we will look at the physical properties that are relevant to change.

Physical properties of matter are of which can be analyised without changing the chemical identity (or scientific name if you like) of the substance.

**States** This is probably the most important thing about matter. (depends on how you look at it) There are 5 states of matter: Solid; liquid; gas; plasma; and Bose Einstein Consedate. First a solid. Solid is a state of matter where all the atoms are tighly packed toghether and the object it becomes a certain shape. Next a liquid. A liquid is where the atoms in the not-so object are spaced enough so that the liquid could fit in any container. The liquid is less DENSE than the solid. Next a gas. A gas is where the atoms become even less dense, so much less dense that it can just float in the air. If say water changes from a liquid to a gas itn still stays its same chemical identity (H2O) it only changes states. Next plasma. Plasma is similar to a gas but it is made up of electrons and ions. It is a great conductor of electricity. Scientists think that plasma makes up 99% of the universe. Ions are electrically chared atoms or molecules or groups of them. Lastly Bose einstien consedate. Bose Einstein consedate is where special particles called bosons all lie down at very cold tempreatures. (0 k or -273 C) They can only do this with the special particles and tempreatures. When this happens the particles become very slippery. (This is simplified heaps!)

Antimatter is the mirror image of matter.

Spolder. I don't like it but you might. It is a programming game. Type it on the net! (I think you need an account)

Ask Steffen.

It is a very tricky problem that needs careful consideration. It really is not a simple fix. The important thing (as you point out) is that as a multicultural society we need to exercise tolerance and compassion. Unfortunately there has been some very negative reporting about the plight of asylum seekers in the media. I agree that immigration is important for our country particularly given I am 1st generation Australian born to immigrant parents. Andie ||

 * 26/10 || Thanks for the answer, I would agree but the thing I never understood is if the chicken came first why it wasn't an egg it came out of so thanks for clearing it up! Eden ||
 * 1/12/10 || Hey Luc good work so far. I liked your assylum seeker essay. Very interesting viewpoints. I'm not sure that your comment about the government not caring is actually true.
 * 1/12/10 || A suggestion: I would love to see all your answers to the science questions below on your wiki page somewhere. Can you do that? Andie ||

 * 1/12 || Jerome, an atom is not alive as it does not breathe or eat (or do that much for that matter.) But it makes up everything and Physics explain how atoms move by things like energy. So it is not alive but it makes you. ||~  ||
 * 1/12 || Jerome, Discovery is my meaning of life. ||~  ||
