We've been nominated for AUSTRALIA's BEST BLOG!! How exciting! Well done to the class for your contributions and good luck!!

this term in maths and science we started to learn reproducing and how the body works in maths we learnt how to multiply, divide, add and subtract fractions and percentages

This term in Numeracy has been so good it is better than any of the previous terms in my schooling life. The highlights have been the heart dissection, and the unit on cardiovascular and respiratory organs. I have learnt so much that there were no bad parts at all. This is a photo from what I think was the best I have EVER DONE:

The dissections have given science a whole new aspect, and maths is now fun and challenging.

Custom Glitter Text This term I have learnt how to add, subtract, divide, and multiply fractions in maths. I have also learnt how to convert fractions to decimals and persentages. I have learnt how the digestive system works in science too.

This term we learn't alot of interesting and cool things in both maths and science, heres a bit of a recap.

Maths: We learn't how to multiply, divide, subtract and add decimals and fractions. We learn't how to convert percentages, decimals and fractions and we learn't about mixed numbers, common fractions, equivlent fractions, LCM and HCF and many more things.

Science: We had so many pracs; we did a sheep's pluck, a heart dissection, a flower dissection. We also had some mini pracs like; how to turn on, turn off and use a bunsen burner, the burning of the food, starch content, sugar content. protein and fat content. Not only did we just do pracs we also did theory and we learn't about the respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. It was such a busy term and I can't wait till term 2.

Here a few pictures of our pracs from previous posts:

Flower Dissection

I learned heaps while doing the dissection! I found it very interesting too... I found out how flowers produce more flowers! Its like when some pollen from another flower's male piece (known as stamen) rubs off onto another flower's female piece, its sticks to the female piece (Known as style) and goes down through the style and down to the ovary. The seeds that are found in the ovary are known as ovule! As shown in this picture to the right:

I never knew how such pretty flowers produced so many other flowers until we dissected a flower. I think it just goes to show that nature is the thing that makes the planet....The beautiful alive planet!

Thats all from me now

Under my own decision, and not being forced by jp7numeracy at gun point... gulp... I now present to you:

WHAT I LEARNT THIS TERM*

Well, let's start with Maths, could I actually liked it more then Science. And I'm going to guess that some of you just booed me. Thanks, like my self esteem is low enough already.

Basically, we learnt all the basics of Multiplying, Dividing, Subtracting, Adding, and Converting Fractions, Percentages, and Decimals. Now, instead of taking 40 minutes to write how to do all this, there are plenty of videos on this blog already. So I'll just leave you with this picture:

Okay, now I'll tell you about Science. If you're still at this post of course. We learnt about the Circulatory System, the Excreatory System, the Digestive System and Asexual Reproduction. Again, there's already an explanation on this blog, and I'll just leave you this picture:

I know this was a short post, but, well, I'm a kid. I want to enjoy my holidays. Well, I suppose I'll blog more later. See ya next time!

What I learnt this term

This term I learnt about plant reproduction. This has to be one of the most interesting subjects because I think it's interesting how there's only one girls part, and multiple boy parts. I liked this segment because it has been different to what I have done in the past. I hope that there are many more interesting segments this year!

This term we learnt many things to many to say. But some things that we learnt about were the circulatory system including the heart and lungs (during this we did a heart dissection). respiratory system and even number systems, talking about patterns and sequences like the Fibonacci sequence. we even started talking

about a-sexual reproduction which is very interesting talking about flowers.

The heart below was cut expertly by the budding doctor YK

Today we did a flower dissection. The flowers we use were a pink liliy with a wonderful scent that attrect bees and insects.

Today first of all we got all our equiptment for the dissection.

Next we pulled of all the petals and the anthers off because they were of no use to us in this dssection

Then we cut down the middle of the stigma, after we cut down the stigma we could see that the stigma was a tube going down to the ovary where you could see the tiny little eggs that it producted.

Today in science class we dissected a lily flower. It was really interesting to see what a flower contains on the inside considering that it looks very straight ford from the front. We looked at the male parts of it (stamen) and the female parts (stigma) and how they reproduce asexually. This was a really fun prac and I hope we do some more of this sort of thing soon.

Hi everyone. At the moment we are studying Asexual reproduction (i.e. a flower) Today in Science we dissected a flower to find out how the flower reproduced. I worked in a pair with NG. We got a lily and took the petals off, and we used a scalpel to cut the stem of the flower all the way down the middle. I didn't even need to read Dissection for Dummies!



It was that easy. We then opened up the stem and we saw a tube that must obviously bring the pollen to fertilize in the bottom of the stem. We could see the seeds that would've been growing if we hadn't dissected it. They were the tiniest things. Unfortunately I don't have any photos to show this time; but I have the amazing power of a DIAGRAM!!!!

That is enough from me. Bye, for now.

Custom Glitter Text It was sick and totally cool!!!!! And we got the pink one. Hehehe. You think that flower are boring but they aren't.They are interesting although it looks dull on the inside. but if you concentrate you can find some pretty cool things in it like the eggs and the tube that the polen goes down. So in the end it was fun watching and learning.

Today in Science we performed a Flower dissection. It was interesting to see what a flower looked like inside. We learnt all the major components in a flower, and their purpose in reproduction and pollination. We also learnt how to identify the different anatomical components of a flower, which was very useful in understanding those components and their purposes. We removed the petals and anthers, and made an incision which ran from the stigma, through the style and ovary, and into the base of the stem. This showed the contents of the inside of the flower, and helped clarify the process which takes place in pollination. After the incision was made, the flower looked a bit like a cross-section diagram!

This is a photo of the dissected stigma and style, with the incision expertly made by MVW.

This activity and the previous few lessons have really helped us understand the process of pollination, its purpose, and the components used in it. They have also shown the correlation between the anatomy of flowers and plant reproduction. It is interesting to see how plants have adapted to the environment to ensure reproduction.

This video summarises the process of pollination.

Flower Dissection

In class today, we learned how to dissect a flower. We did this by recognising all of the different parts, and then, using a scalpel, cutting down the stigma, seeing all of the eggs.

Left: A lilies Style and Anther
Today during science we had a flower dissection, this was an enjoyable activity as many of us were having fun! We made and incision through the style and stigma as you can see left, when doing this we found that a style has a visible tube through the middle. many of us did not know this and it was fun to learn.

Today during class we completed a flower dissection. The class really enjoyed having an upclose look at the reproductive features of flowers.

We have been studying how to convert decimals, fractions and percentages in class lately and this is a chart to show/help us with that.

Today in Science class we looked at the important parts of a flower.
