Fossil Facts

For the last few weeks in Inquiry we have been learning all about Fossils. Miss Williamson passed along the circle a shark jaw. The jaw was a pale colour. After it around the circle with some other stuff we had to find out Eight facts about fossils. We also had to make the shark jaw on google drawings or by hand. The easy part was finding out the facts but the hard part was making the the shark jaw.

Mission To Mars

In inquiry we were challenged to research and plan a mission to Mars. We watched NASA videos. We read lots of articles about space travel and Mars. We learnt what humans would need to survive on Mars. Oxygen, houses, food, water, protection from radiation, heat/warmth and entertainment.

This is my groups plan of how we would survive on Mars.

Parachute

For the last week we have been doing inquiry. For inquiry Mrs McQuinnietys group have been doing four different activity's. The first activity was making a parachute for a Lego figure jumping from a bean stalk. The next one was making a tower out of news paper and masking tape to hold a, basket ball for 10 seconds. The one after that was you had to make a a car out of a plastic bottle to hold an egg and go down a ramp without breaking the egg. The last one was you had to make a bridge what can hold a cup with one hundred cent coins in it. (Or 340g) We didn't get to test because of illness.
