Getting lit on fire.
Yesterday in science we were able to light out hands on fire. The first thing we done was everybody took their jackets off and tied there hair up. Then we lined up with safety googles and wet our arms and hands when it was our turn we had to scoop up some of the bubbles and go over to the spot on the floor that had a green towel on it in case anything dripped. The teacher put his lighter under the bubbles and we had our arms extended out as much as we could away from our face. When he lit us on fire we slowly turned our hands facing outwards so we are like stopping it when it got to hot for us we turned our hands out so the water didn't evaporate and start burning our skin. I will update this blog when I get photos.

Coding
For Coding this term we have been doing hour of code its basically a game with lots of different types of coding games on it and we basically just went along with the game we chose and coded it we got to code games and play them when we were done. they are all step by step so its quite easy. I found this a little bit boring after a while but when we started it was fun because it was something new for me and it was quite fun. But after a while it got boring because it was repetitive. I also found it easy because it is step by step so you just have to follow the instructions. But for some of them you have to think what way they are turning or if they have to place a block or jump example, Minecraft. Here's a link so you can try. Hour of code

Using a microscope
For today's science lesson we looked at microscopes and cells.We took a partner ( I was with 3 others instead of 1 ) We had to take a really small layer of an onion skin off of an onion and put it on a little clear slide. We put them under the microscope then looked at them. Some things came out pretty nice and we could see some lines and weird squiggly things.
