Week 9

 Week 9 in Te Kinga

This week Kaelyn, Pippa and Michael had to complete their entry for the John Paul Science Fair coming up in Week 10. The group decided to test the hypothesis that 'Home Made firestarters are as effective as shop bought ones'.

First they had to make and try out a lot of recipes for firestarters - this was really fun and also interesting to see how flammable each ingredient actually was...

Next they had to trial each fire starter they decided was a good product with store bought products - so this meant a trip to the beach by the lake...

Can you guess what the result was? The group will be presenting their findings this week at the John Paul Science Fair...

Meanwhile back in class...

Students in Te Kinga were asked to create games for our 'Game Day' next week. The focus was on involving all team members and developing at least one physical skill... look out for more to come!
