1. 15 Points are needed to get a badge
2. A high standard of work.

• All experiments are written up ( Aim, Materials, Steps, Conclusion)
• Two photos of your experiment
• 6 sentences at least for a conclusion

Science will be twice per week.

• Lesson 1: This will be an Experiment that involves blogging. You will be expected to open a new post, copy Mr. Palmer's blog and paste it on your new post.
• Lesson 2: This will be an Investigation that relates to the topic from Lesson 1. It will be own choice and displayed in a way that you prefer. For example - PowerPoint, Doc, etc

All the blogs and science lessons will be displayed on Mr. Palmer's blog:

Bookmark it!

Expectations:

• 1 blog must be completed per Hurumanu lesson.
• A completed blog must have the four headings ( Aim, Method, Findings, Conclusion), correct writing and punctuation under each heading and be published. No post, no points.
• 2 images of the experiment/investigation on the blog.

Using the Scientific method of investigation:

Aim: What the experiment/investigation is about.

Method: Instructions on how the experiment/investigation is carried out. This includes the equipment.

Findings: What have we learned or found out from our experiment/investigation. This is called Data, Information or Facts. It is displayed in a chart, table or picture.

Conclusion:  

2 Hurumanu science Goals:

1. I will try to finish my work to the time I'm given by not getting distracted.

2. I am going to try to upload more blog post so I can get many badges. I will to that by listening to the teacher. 

WATCH THIS VIDEO AND COMPLETE THE INVESTIGATION.

THE BIG PICTURE

• What animals keep our jackets warm? Polar bear, sheep, and fox
• What animal makes our boots waterproof?  Ducks
• Where does the water in our rivers come from? It comes from shower runoff from the surrounding landscape. But, the water in a river doesn't all come from surface runoff. Rain falling on the land also seeps into the Earth to form groundwater.
• Why do we need healthy rivers? We need healthy rivers because it provides water to human.       
• What are some of the good things about mosquitoes? It is important because they feed there self to another animal like fish, and more. If they don't get eaten then the mosquito population will increase.
• Why are bees dying? Colony collapse disorder is the reason why bees are dying.  
• What do bugs do to our leaves? The bugs suck the juices from the leaves and leave a tiny hole. 
• How much dung would we be in if there were no dung decomposers? If there is no dung decomposers the dung will cover the ground about 7 feet.   
• Who runs this planet?  It's not only nature who run this planet but millions of species too.
