**Teacher Comment:**

Well done Jono, an interesting science fair topic for you to investigate. You looked into a lot of different things to determine what is the best type of egg, good work. Great use of photos on your board to show what you did. A very clear method to follow. You needed to carry out your tests more than once though to make sure that your results are not a fluke first time round and then you could have more results to graph also! Did you research into the science behind free range and caged eggs? This needed to be done to add to your conclusion to give it an explanation. Excellent discussion of your results and observations. Overall a good effort Jono, well done.

**Student Comment: i think that next time i do the science fair i need to do a log book about the data i did get put was not put on.i thought that my topic of choice was not very good and not so interesting as i thought it would be but it was all right.**

= = = = = = =in this week in term 2 we went to the science lab and tried out some experiments and there was this cool as one and it was a knife with a bobby pin put on the sharp bit on the knife and put it so that the bobby pin was just touching the table and it walked all by its self how? well its the magnetic force that makes it go cool as=

Yesterday we went to the science lab and we tested some powder stuff to find out what they all are. well first they all had their own cup which they were all in. and we had to guess. On our first go we guessed them and we were correct so them we just sat down and watched the other groups.

__WALT - Identify and group fingerprints into 3 main categories : arch, loop and whorl__

AIM - To identify your own fingerprints out of an arch, loop and whorl.

HYPOTHESIS I think my finger prints are loops and whorls I think this because they look like them.

EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape

METHOD 1. Rub the side of a pencil lead back and forth on a sheet of paper to build up the black area large enough to take 10 prints. 2. Press one of your fingertips firmly onto the black. Place the sticky side of a piece of tape over your fingertip. 3. Tape the print to the correct location on the fingerprint form. 4. Using the magnifying glass compare your prints to the pictures below and try to label them as either arches, loops or whorls.
