Drink Experiment

WALT - write about our experiment with drinks

SUCCESS CRITERIA

• Use expensive vocabulary
• Explain which I chose before I did the experiment

Today when we were visiting Herold and Nicole we did quite an interesting experiment. It was about measuring how much sugar is in drinks. My group decided to go with the big bottle of original mother and rockstar super sours. When we were doing the experiment we saw that rockstar super sours had the most sugar of 69g but in teaspoons that meant 17 teaspoons.

I predicted that Rockstar and Keri juice was going to have the most sugar and it turned out that one of my predictions were right. The orders of the highest sugar was Rockstar, strawberry Wave, E2 the yellow one, Fresh up, Powerade the blue one, Red bull, Classic coke, Vanilla coke, lift then Vitamin water. Overall, now I know that these drinks have a lot of sugar and to be careful of what I’m drinking.

Matific - Monster Shop

Today for maths I played an educational game called Matific. On Matific there are a lot of activities to complete. I decided to play Monster shop. The main point of this game is to hand the vegetables or fruit to the monster. Then after that they would ask how much is it.  The most hard thing about this game is that the numbers are in Roman, which is a bit easy because there is a little hint of how much it is. Playing Matific is really helping me because I sometimes forget what the answer is, but when I look to see if there are any hints than it gets easier.

Grammar - Conjunction Game

In this activity I played a educational game called Conjunction Games for Kids. The many point for this game was to find a conjunction word that would best fit the sentences. I found this game a bit hard because I thought that all the words fit the sentence but they want the one that best suits it. This game helped me to use what I know to find the unknown.

Revision

For my test number 2 I went onto IXL - Year 7 maths. On this website there are a lot to choose from and out of all of them I decided to do mixed operation Add,Subtract, Multiply or Divide two whole numbers. Some of these question I found easy because where mostly adding. Overall I still enjoyed played on this website because it helped me to know that not all questions are easy or hard and that if you put your mind to focus than it will become easy.

Word Map

This week for reading I created a Word map. This word map helped me to understand the word astonish. In the word map I put down "Meaning, sentence, Root, Synonym and Antonym. "
