About Me

Hi, My name is Sam and I am a Year 5 student at Mt Carmel School. I wanted to participate in the Summer Blogging as I was with my mum when Rachel came to talk to her class. I asked my mum if I can join. Finally she agrees and I am very keen to journey through with so many children around New Zealand.

Sinking and Floating

We have been looking at why things sink and float.
It is amazing what happens in nature.
This week we checked our prior knowledge, you know, what I already have in my mind.
Our next step was to make some predictions about why a rock sinks , bone floats, why a ten ton ship doesn’t sink and a ten ton ship submarine does.
We tested a solid ball, spoons inside a bag, little rocks, a bead, clay, paper towel, a bark and a spoon.
I wondered what other mystery will we learn about in our science next week.
