You should have most of the equipment in your cupboards at home and please do not forget to ask permission from an adult before embarking on your experiment.
" Surface tension is the energy, or work, required to increase the surface area of a liquid due to intermolecular forces. Since these intermolecular forces vary depending on the nature of the liquid (e.g. water vs. gasoline) or solutes in the liquid (e.g. surfactants like detergent), each solution exhibits differing surface tension properties."
Why not try your own experiment (from Physics Girl's top 7) and get someone to film you doing it and share or send it to me. Alternatively, share with me your plan - including the steps involved and the materials required.
Good luck!!!!

Week 7 - Monday the 16th - Friday the 20th March
Task 1:
Maths
Exercise
1: mixed problems
Work out the
answers to these problems in your head.
Use the quickest method for each problem, then record your strategy so
that other people can understand how you have done the problem
1) 257 + 199 (2) 478
- 125 (3) 4 ´ 37
4) 140 ¸ 4 (5) 198 - 74 (6) 125 ¸ 10
7) 195 ´ 4 (8) 235 - 77 (9) 198 + 99
10) 179 + 56 (11) 128 ¸ 5 (12) 345 + 60
13) 63 ´ 10 (14) 26 ´ 5 (15) 612 ¸ 6
16) 264 ¸ 6 (17) 257 + 356 (18)
374 - 189
Exercise
2: solving equations
An equation is
a maths sentence with an equal sign in it.
For example o + 4 = 9. When we solve an equation we work out the
missing number to make the sentence true, so the answer to the problem above is
5.
In equations we
often miss out the multiplication sign when writing the problem, so 2o + 4 = 10 means 2 ´ o + 4 = 10. Here 2 ´ 3 + 4 = 10, so the answer is 3
Solve these
equations (find the missing number that makes the sentence true).
1) 5 + o = 9 (2) 16 - o = 14 (3) 3o = 12
4) o + 5 = 20 (5) 7o = 56 (6) 50 ¸ o = 10
7) o - 24 = 12 (8) o + 32 = 56 (9) 4o = 48
10) 54 - o = 19 (11) 3o = 54 (12) 65 - o = 27
13) o + 29 = 73 (14) 100 ¸ o = 20 (15) o ¸ 4 = 16
Did you notice?
With the larger
numbers, the facts don’t jump into you head as quickly. However, there is a way to work out the
answers to such equations without having to memorise harder and harder facts.
Exercise 3: Strategy
development
Did you come up
with a quicker way of working out the harder answers? If so, choose two of the problems from
numbers 10 to 15 and explain how you worked out the answer. If these were too hard, show the problems to
some of your family and see what they suggest, then explain how their method
works.
Task 2:Guy Claxton - Magnificent Eight
This week I want you to look at the Magnificent Eight by Guy Claxton and answer the following question What does this mean for learning in 2015 and in Room 18?
1 Powerful learners are curious. They are born curious and are drawn to learning. They wonder about things, and know how to ask productive questions. They enjoy the process of wondering and questioning. Curious people, however, can be demanding and skeptical of what they're told.
2 Confidant learners have courage. They are not afraid of uncertainty and complexity. They have the confidence to say, 'I don't know?' - which is always a precursor to, 'lets find out'. They are willing to take risks and try new things. They 'stick' with things and 'bounce back' when things go wrong. They also know when to give up. They have 'mental toughness' or resilience.
3 Powerful learners are good at exploration and investigation they like finding out and are good at seeking and gathering information. They take the time to attend carefully and do not jump to conclusions. They are good at 'sifting' ideas and trust their ability to tell 'good evidence'.
4 Powerful learners requires experimentation. This is the virtue of trying things out to see if it works, or just to see what happens. They make mistakes, keeping what works for 'next time'. They like adjusting things, enjoy admiring their work in progress, and seeing how they can continually improve things. They say, 'lets try'...and, 'what if?' And they also know the importance of practice.
5 Powerful learners have imagination. They know how to use their 'inner world' to explore possibilities. They know how to make use of 'mental rehearsals' of how they might act.They also know how to relax and let idea come to them, finding links and connections ; they have a good feeling of 'rightness'.
6 The creativity of imagination needs to yoked to discipline. They have the ability to think carefully, rigorously and methodically. They are good at 'hard thinking' and ask, 'how come'? They are good at creating explanations, making plans, crafting ideas, and making predictions based on their evidence. They are also open to serendipity and to changing their minds if necessary.
7 Powerful learners know the virtue of sociability. They are happy collaborating and sharing their ideas and resources. They are good members of groups able to help groups solve problems. They are able to both give their views, receive feedback, and listen respectfully to others.
8 Powerful learners are reflective. They are able to step back and take stock of progress. They are able to mull over their actions and consider how they might have done things differently. Good learners are self aware, able to contemplate their actions to continually 'grow their learning power'.
My thunder comes before the lightning;
My lightning comes before the clouds;
My rain dries all the land it touches.
What
am I?
