Inquiry Block

This is where my visitors can find the things I discover duirng the Inquiries my class do each term.

Moon and Tides

Here are some interesting facts that I know about Moon Nan Tides.

First of all The moon has eight phases they are New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent. These eight phases repeat every 29.5 Days.

Did you know it takes 27.3 Days for the moon to orbit the whole earth. In one year there are actually12 New Moons.


When the month has had 2 full moons it is possible that the second one is a Blue Moon. Did you know that the New Moon rises at Sunrise and the Full Moon rises at sunset. The First Quarter rises at noon and the Last Quarter rises at midnight so when you are looking at the moon early at night and you cant see anything you could be looking at a New moon or possibly a Last quarter Moon.

The Moon is the 5th largest satellite in the whole solar system and the distance from the earth and the moon is over 3 thousand kilometres apart.

Next to tides every tide has a High Tide and a Low Tide no matter what.High Tide is when the tide is close to shore and Low Tide is when the tide is far away from land. High Tide no Low Tide is caused by the Gravitational Pull and force. There is exactly 2 High Tides in one day.

The big Question is does the moon and tide effect our lives on the bay???

Moons and tides

We are learning about Moons and tides here are all the things that I want to learn.

Do the tides change during the day?
Does the moon effect the tides?
how does the tide effect our life's on the bay?
Does the moon and the tide effect how we live?


These are some of the things I know What do you know
Please leave me a comment saying what you know about the tide and the moon

The Inventions of Hugo Cabret

I like this book because Hugo's notebook is a big part of his life.
My favourite character is Hugo because he never gives up.
I think the old man is mean for lying to Hugo about his notebook.

Why we have rules and laws

Even though we don't think it sometimes, it is important to have rules and laws. Without them people would get hurt and our community wouldn't be a nice place to be apart of. Rules make us play fairly - that's why sports like soccer and basketball all have rules so that all the team get the same chance of winning. Rules are needed to protect us from harm and to help us live together safely in our communities. Rules help us know the difference between right and wrong. That is why I think it is important to have rules and laws.

Super Bricks

Today we made some bricks. We made our bricks out of Plaster of Paris, water and we made mini bricks so we got a little match box the we left them to dry for a day and when we went back to school the next day we toke the brick out and then we got the big ruler and dropped the brick in fives starting from 20 so we went like this . . .
20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 1 Metre.
Then we got into some groups and changed something measure something and then keep everything else the same. We then dropped the bricks that we made in our groups and saw who's brick became the super brick. The mane aim in the science investigation was to do a far test I loved making super bricks and I hope to do it again.

High school musical

One of my favorite storey's is high school I have done a reasons It was funny when Troy and Gabriella forgot about the party. I liked It when troy and Gabriella sang together.I have done lots of reading response's of lots of storey's.

Seience

Every week we do science with Mr Beier's. He teaches us all kind of things. I know a lot of things that I never knew before. We go out and do things or we fill out questions in our book. Science is so much fun to do.
