**Teacher Comment:**

Well done Quintin. You have conducted your experiment over a long period of time and not rushed it which is good. Why did you think all the fruit was going to rot at the same time? Your method needed to be more specific as you were very vague with what you actually did. Nice use of photos to show your results. Great research into why fruit rots and why you obtained the results you did.

**Student Comment:**

i don't think that i did very well because i didn't have very much work and there was to much pictures and only a little writing my favorite part was when i had to take the pictures. i think my experiment was a little bit easy i think i could have done more to it and i think that when i was doing my project i could have done some observations and writ what i saw. `

Today we went to the science lab and did some little projects because it is science week this week. My favorite one was the one where you put your left hand in the bucket filled with icy cold water and your right hand in the bucket filled with burning hot water and keep them there for 30 seconds it was so hard cause it was freezing and burning at the same time when the 30 seconds have finished you quickly put your hands in another bucket with medium water and it should change the temperature.

__Friday 13 may__
On thursday the 12 of may room 30 went to the science lab and did some kitchen chaos there where five different tips of thing there was salt, cream of tartar, cornflower, icing sugar and baking soda. We had to do a hypothesis and guess want one was witch we guessed that A was icing sugar B was salt C was baking soda D was cornflower and E was cream of tartar. We also had some litmus paper (red and blue), iodine, vinegar, a thing that drips the vinegar in to what you put it in and a beaker. This is how we figured it out cream of tartar is an acid, so it turn the red litmus paper blue. the baking soda fizzes when in with vinegar. corn flour turns the blue litmus paper red. the salt is more gritty so you can tall what it is.

__WALT - Identify and group fingerprints into 3 main categories : arch, loop and whorl__

AIM - To identify your own fingerprints out of an arch, loop and whorl.

HYPOTHESIS I think my finger prints are whorl and loop I think this because when you look at then from a distance they look like that

EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape

METHOD 1 rub the side of the pencil lead back and forth on the sheet of paper to build up the black area large to take ten prints 2 press one of your fingertips firmly onto the black. place the sticky side of a piece of tape over your fingertips. (you may need a buddy for this) 3 tape the print to the correct location on the fingertip form 4 using the magnifying glass compare your prints to the pictures and try to label them as ether arch loop or whorl



conclusion- I found out that 5 of my fingers are whorl theres 2 on my left hand and 3 on my right hand. and the rest of my fingers are loop
