1. I drew the scientist like that because I saw a scientist on tv and he looked like this so I tried to copy it and male scientists are the most common to find on tv shows and things like that

2. prime minister Jacinda Adern because she is my favourite one
she helps people and she was saying a speech about the Muslim attack, she is really caring about new Zealand

3. I did this principle because at my old school we had a principal and he is super nice and he used to play basketball with me and my friends. he also played football and rugby with us.

4. the things that were similar were most people done the principal and the scientist as a male and the prime minister a female

5. I think gender stereotyping can limit the development of the natural talents and abilities of guys and girls.

6. Gender roles mean how were expected to act or speak or dress and conduct ourselves based on our gender.

7. yes because they were basic drawings and lots of scientists are old people have Big fluffy hair and they like like they have been electrically shocked. and the prime minister would fi they are from NewZealand they could do Jacinda modern. and i dont think the principal would look the same because there are So many schools with different principals, Male/female.

8. the interesting thing is that teachers asked 5000 kids to draw a scientist and a lot of them had lab coats on. and really long sideburns and not a single boy drew a female scientist

 9. if we needed to do this again mine would probably look the same because the president of NZ, my principal, and scientists have fluffy hair

What is that white powder?

Aim: To learn about the makeup of different white powders.

There are a number of different white powders in our everyday life. Some of these are harmful and others are not. Test the four white powders listed to see which one has been found at the airport.

Here are some examples of everyday kitchen white powders.

Flour, Cornflour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Icing Sugar, Tartaric Acid

Citric Acid, Gluten Free flour

You will be given a small amount of 4 white powders on your cardboard. On the black cardboard using a magnifying glass look at the powders.

Look at them under your magnifying glass and record what you see. 

These are the four powders we will be using. Upload a photo of each powder. 

1.  Cornflour
2.  Baking Soda
3.  Salt
4.  Sugar 

Before you add the iodine, vinegar or water you will need to divide each powder into 3.

Materials

1.  Baking soda
2.  sugar
3.  Salt
4.  Cornflour

9. then pour vinegar on the second points on every one of the pieces of paper
10. then pour iodine on the third points of the ingredients on all of the peices of paper
they should all react in different ways, some of them will fizz some of them will do nothing and some of them might react in really slight ways

Findings:

	Sugar	Salt	Baking Soda	Cornflour
Appearance	course	colour	Cool	bubbles
Texture	Soft	sandy	crumbly	Firm

The Fight To Vote

Today for reading my group and I were reading "The Fight to vote" which  is about the women's suffrage movement to get women to have the right to vote we had to read the book and then come up with the two questions we wanted to know. we had to search them up and see what the answers where After that we had to make a women's suffrage leaders timeline, This is the work that I did I hope u like it.

Community impact projects

Today we are going to be working on designing on a native bird or animal to newzealand or Hornby made out of trash, cans, rappers, paint and wrappers of stuff. I'm going to be making a kiwi because it is native to New Zealand and there are none in other country's the year sevens and eights are doing this in big groups.

I think this will be a good idea because it shows that we care about New Zealand, I and going to be doing this with TJ, Vin and myself, the reason why I chose do do the kiwi is because it is native to New Zealand and only New Zealand, we also need to do a super big clean up of rubbish around the school.

This is all for now.thanks for reading my blog post and please give me some feedback for that I need to to better or what I did good. Thank you
