**Teacher Comment:** Great bright colours used on your science fair board Reuben, well done. You were able to discuss your science fair well, which shows that you understood what you did. A good clear method that is easy to follow. Nice hypothesis with reasoning as to why you thought that. It would be interesting to know if the size of the fruit affected the amount of electrodes produced also. Excellent researching into why this did work and including the science behind it in your conclusion, I am very interested in the information that you obtained! I think it would have been beneficial to have carried out the experiment more than once to ensure your results weren't a fluke first time around! Other than that a very well done Science Fair.

**Student Comment:** I think that I could have presented it better because I forgot to read out my hypothesis till I had read my results. But I think that my board presentation was awesome.

Today Room 30 went to the science lab and did some experiments. My favorite was the ballon and paper experiment. This experiment works because when you rubbed the ballon against your head it created static electricity which lifted the shredded paper.

Yesterday Room 30 went to the science lab and did some experiments to find out what substance was in each container we found out that: Substance A= cornflour Substance B= Salt Substance C=

__**WALT - Identify and group fingerprints into 3 main categories : arch, loop and whorl**__
 * __Wednesday 18 May__**

AIM - To identify your own fingerprints out of an arch, loop and whorl.

HYPOTHESIS I think my finger prints on my left hand are loops and on my right hand they are 4 loops and 1 whorl I think this because i looked at them and they looked like the pictures of the different prints.

EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape

METHOD
 * 1) Rub the side of a pencil lead back and forth on a sheet of paper to build up the black area large enough to take ten prints.
 * 2) Press one of your fingertips firmly onto the black. Place the sticky side of a piece of tape over your fingertip
 * 3) Tape the print to the correct location on the fingerprint form.
 * 4) Using the magnifying glass to compare your prints to these ones.

__**Conclusion:**__ I found out that I had loops and whorls. My hypnosis was wrong.
