Science Intensive with Mr Nath

Today in Room 10 with Mr Nath, we learned about fire. I worked with my friend, Whitney, together we shared a presentation. On the first slide of the presentation we had to list words that describe fire, fire hazards and what can save you during a fire.

On the second slide we had to read a website about fire, then answer the questions that were on the presentation. From the website, I learned that fire is a chemical reaction and what the 5 stages of a fire are.

After morning tea, Whitney and I had to work together on the third slide to make a rap. We watched a video of a rap on YouTube called 'Fire Safety Rap!' for some ideas. We just had to write our own lyrics for it.

Finally, on our last slide, we had to make posters of a fire safety routine. To make our posters, we used Google Drawings.


Here's a screenshot of my half finished poster:

New Math Strategy

This is a new strategy I learnt during Math.

144 ÷ 2 = 72 (half)

72 ÷ 6 = 12

72 ÷ 6 = 12

12 + 12 = 24

The problem was "144 ÷ 2 =" so you have to half 144 and that makes 72, then you divide 72 by 6, twice. 72 ÷ 6 = 12 and since you divide it twice, you get 12 twice too. So add 12 + 12 and the answer is 24.

That is a new strategy I learnt. I hope you understood the strategy and how I explained it.
