Riverstone Art

This is some of our riverstone art. We have been learning to use Indian Ink and Dye to create a sence of the Manawatu river.
First, we had to draw how we wanted our sence to be layed out. We could include plants,trees, rocks,and also the sun and some hills.
After we had layed out our sence we used Indian Ink to fill inbetween the rocks that we drew,and we also drawed white pastel lines in our river. This would be for when we dyed our river, it would show up the lines that we wanted in our water without having to do it afterwards.
Next we dyed our river with greens,blues and purples to make an effective river, and one everything had dried we shaded the rocks with pencil. We had to decide which direction the sun would come from, and we had to make it darker around those areas of the stone without direct sunlight.

Amelia's Strike Writing

This is my strike writing. Our walt was to use rich vocabulary to describe how we felt about strike, and also to make the reader feel like they were there when we were watching it.

Rock and Dissolve - Science

ROCK AND DISSOLVE:
Question: Can something as soft as rain dissolve something as hard as rock?
Experiment: We put pieces of white chalk into separate capsules filled with vinegar, lemon juice and water.
Predictions:
I predicted that the chalk would dissolve fastest in the vinegar because it is really strong - Britney
I thought that the chalk would dissolve fastest in the lemon juice because it is 'citrussy' - Abby
I predicted that the vinegar and the chalk was going to fizz up and perhaps explode - Kayla
I predicted that the vinegar and lemon juice would both dissolve the chalk because they have chemicals in them compared to the water.  I don't think the water will do much - Amelia
I thought the vinegar would dissolve first because I think it is likely to fizz - Sharne
I thought the vinegar and the lemon would really fizz up around the chalk but not really the water - Leah

We think we will observe:
- the chalk changing colour
- chalk dissolved in lemon juice
- some capsules holding the liquid will bubble more than others
- some of the liquids will dissolve the chalk and we will just see the residue
- the water and the chalk may go softer
