Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts 
2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover
3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts: 


What are the 5 parts for? 
Link: Rovers 5 parts
Fill in the table below.


Name:
Purpose:
Wheels
Rover has six wheels, each with its own individual motor. the front two wheels and rear wheels also have individual motor, the four-wheel steering allows the rover to make arcing turns.
Solar Panel
The Mars 2020 rover requires electrical power to operate. if there is no power the rover cannot move, the heat from MMRTG also used to keep rover's tools their correct operating temperatures.
Laser
that laser was helped rover’s robotic arm to analyzed the vaporized rock to reveal its elemental composition.
Camera
the camera on the rover was like an eye it can tack picture then the people in the earth can see what was on the mars.
Shovel, rock pick, drill
the shovel, rock pick, and drill were helped rover to gather samples from the rocks.



2. In groups of 3 you will Design, Draw and Make a Mars Rover out of Lego Technics.
Materials:

  1. Lego Technics
  2. A4 paper
  3. Pencil
  4. Ruler
  5. Eraser
The drawing and model must have:
  • 6 wheels
  • 1 camera
  • 1 tool at the front than includes a shovel, pick and drill.
  • 1 solar panel
  • 1 laser that points at the ground

 ( Take a photo and upload  your mars rover onto your blog.)

Conclusion: Write about what you have learnt
3 days ago, on Tuesday there was a ground come to my school.

My favorite part was, the game cooled throw your friend under the bus because that was so fun, there was a man ask the students some questions about bullying. the man's name was Reggie, he also tells us some sad story about him, also he tells us don't make fun of people because you don't know what they fell, and always be kind to people not bullying them or mack fun of them.

science Nature of plants

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURE OF PLANTS


Plants fall into two categories:

1. Evergreen
2. Deciduous

Image result for deciduous
Deciduous

Evergreen


Find three examples of each:

Evergreen: 
1.  pine tree 
2.hemlock
3.  blue spruce

Deciduous;
1.  oak 
2.   maple 
3.  beech

LEAVES

Simple                                 Compound   

Activity: Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing. Once you have done the rubbing, cut it out and glue it on the tree.

Sic The case of the Barefoot Burglar. Science


In groups of 3, you are going to need to use your forensic knowledge to solve a crime. You must use the web page: Barefoot Burglar Evidence


  1. Determine which of the four suspects is the "Barefooted Burglar"? 
  2. What do you think was the motive for this crime? 
  3. Write the results of your findings and convince a jury of your peers


The Crime

At approximately 7:15 a.m., Friday morning, Mrs. King, the science teacher, thought something was fishy as she walked down the hall and noticed that her door was open. She walked into her classroom and immediately discovered that the small aquarium had been broken and her prized goldfish were gasping in the sink. Besides the broken aquarium were the shattered remains of the pink piggy bank that had been on the shelf above the aquarium. A can of blue paint was spilled on the floor. Footprints of a barefooted burglar led to an open window. Bits of a white powdery substance was found next to the broken, empty, piggy bank. The only other item found was a half-eaten large chunk of chocolate candy.

When the police arrived they immediately began to gather forensic evidence.





Dan the Man

Height : 176 cm
Alias: The General
Dan was wearing a woolen general's uniform with small holes when apprehended in the woods. He claimed to be gnawing on wood for moisture and insects to practice his survival training. His teeth look like beavers from gnawing. His wife complains that she never has any baking soda due to Dan's compulsion about storing clothes in mothballs. He thinks the baking soda takes away the mothball smell, so he stuffs his pockets with the substance. Also, his wife reports that her giant chocolate kisses continually disappear from the candy cupboard. He blames their dog Patton, an English bull terrier, who patrols the neighborhood. His neighbors report that Dan loves the military. He was very regimented about playing taps on his bugle every day at sunset until an irate neighbor broke his bugle. Dan has been trying to save money for a new one.
Peg the Leg

Height: 152 cm
Alias: Lucky Lady
Peg is a librarian known for hanging horseshoes and four-leaf clovers in her library. Employees say she is so superstitious she insisted on carpeting in the library instead of laying tiles so she would not step on the cracks. She wraps construction zone tape around open ladders so no one can walk under them. Cola bottles litter her office, which she drinks with chocolate chunks. Her teeth are chipped from knocking the bottles against them. She is always throwing salt over her shoulder for good luck and keeps a salt shaker in her purse. Her alibi is that she was busy closing open umbrellas the morning of the crime.



Jake the Jock


                                                                         Height 201 cm
                                                     Alias: Armchair Quarterback

                                                                                         
Jake the Jock is known for quoting statistics on every sport from boomerang throwing to sled dogging. His neighbors report that he is the neighborhood pitcher for baseball games. Last year a baseball hit him in the mouth and knocked out his front tooth. This has cramped his eating style of chocolate chunks, candied apples, and corn on the cob. His wife claims that on the morning of the crime Jake was rubbing his hands with cornstarch to keep them dry in preparation for an important baseball game.




Lou Lou

Height: 160 cm
Alias: Sweet Tooth
Lou Lou is so addicted to sugar that she never leaves home without it. She loves to bake sweet things and has an entire pantry full of sugar bins. She claims to have been baking her famous chocolate chunk cookies the morning of the crime (although not a morsel of a cookie or chocolate chunk was left when the police arrived.) Lou Lou rarely wears shoes, which often causes her to slip and break things, especially her collection of ceramic pigs.

Evidence:
  • Fingerprints: Sticky, 'swirl' fingerprints were lifted from the aquarium and piggy bank. 
  • Footprints: The painted footprints were measured and were for 26 cm feet. 
  • Teeth: The chunk of chocolate candy was collected for examination. It appeared there were teeth imprints.
  • White Powder: The white powdery substance by the piggy bank was carefully placed in a plastic bag and taken to the forensic chemist for identification. It had very small grains and when mixed with Iodine it reacted making the color brown. It did not have a smell.
Name: Dave
                        
Fingerprints: No.

Mouth prints: Has a chipped tooth.
Shoe size: 16
White powder: None found.
Name
Evidence
DanFingerprints: whorl
Mouthprints: the tooth was like rabbit tooth
Shoe size: 26.6
White powder: baking soda 
PegFingerprints: lope
Mouthprints: has a chipped tooth
Shoe size:22.86
White powder: salt 
JakeFingerprints: whorl
Mouthprints: gap teeth
Shoe size:30.17
White powder: cornstarch
LouFingerprints: arch
Mouthprints: all teeth
Shoe size: 24.23
White powder: sugar

Findings: ( what did you find. Summarise what you have written in the table above
Dan: fingerprints: whorl, mouthparts: the tooth was like rabbit tooth, shoe size: 26.6cm, white powder: baking soda.

Peg: fingerprints: loop, mouthparts: has a chipped tooth, shoe size:22.86cm, white powder: salt.

Jake: fingerprints: whorl, mouthparts: gap teeth, shoe size:30.17cm, white powder: cornstarch.

Lou: fingerprints: arch, mouthparts: all teeth, Shoe size: 24.23, white powder: sugar

Verdict: ( who is the burglar and why)
I think Dan was the burglar because of his footprint was from Dan also because Dan has baking soda then he could mix with vinegar.
