Touch Rugby

Today we learned some basic skills for touch rugby.

First we learned how to tap the ball, catch, and pass the ball.

Afterwards we played passing drills to get better at committing to the ball and catching. 

I lastly had to practice passing the ball and getting the goal.

I enjoyed this and I had fun.


Insulators

Insulators are used to stop heat from moving place to place. Five materials were tested for the ability to insulate: glass, plastic, metal, paper, and polystyrene.

The best insulator for keeping things warm was polystyrene. The worst was glass.    

The best insulator to use is polystyrene.

Experimenting

This week for inquiry my group and I did an experiment. The  experiment was to see how much water would be absorbed by the stones.

I first got the materials I needed for the experiment.The materials I needed was a tote tray, a jar, beaker, 100 ml of water,  and stones.Then I measured the jar of stone and it had to way up to 50 g.

Next I poured the 100 ml of water into the jar of stones and then I poured it out into a measuring cup.I had to see how much water was absorbed and how much was not absorbed.

None of the water was absorbed.

This experiment was fun.
