Which deal costs less per metre?
A) $1.50 for 15m
B) $5 for 45m
Answer:
A
What’s the BIG Question? :
Which is better value?
What Strategy Will I Use? :
Create a mathematical sum
Solving Procedure:
I added $1.50 until I got 45m and that was 3 times. 3 times $1.50 equals $4.50 for 45m. That makes the answer A because it cost less per metre.

1. There is a part of your brain that acts like a clock for your body 2. You get tired because of a chemical called Melatonin which is released when your brain clock gives the signal 3. Not enough sleep can affect your concentration, memory and learning which can cause problems at school.
2 Insights
1. Sleep is very important I knew that sleep was important but never how important I just learnt 2. I didn’t now using electronic devices can effect before bed can cause damage I knew that it was bad for your eyes but I never knew how bad it really is.
1 Question
1. Why and how do we sleep and how and why did we develop sleep?
“From today you will be remembered for what you have done you will be glories and your name will burn bright for the rest of your life and beyond” yelled Sergeant Smith. Those where the words that the sergeant said but he didn’t make it, he was shot in the head by a sniper while we were storming the bunker, he will be remembered. 250 years later. “Here the battle of the bold happened we don’t know what happened there but there is a myth that someone died on that day but it is just a myth” said Jim.

Which deal costs less per gram?
A) $5 for 500g
B) $3 for 250g
Answer:
A
What’s the BIG Question? :
Which is better value?
What Strategy Will I Use? :
Create a sum
Solving Procedure:
I added B two times because it would then be five hundred grams and will be even to option A and I got six so the answer must be A because it cost less for the same amount

1. Asbestos is fireproof, waterpro0f and strong so in the past people decided that asbestos would be perfect in several building materials 2. Asbestos in the past was used to make water pipes, wall and roof coverings, roof insulation, paint and more 3. When asbestos gets broken apart dust fibres get into the air when breathed deeply the fibres go deep into the lungs and then gets lodged, over time they can cause cancers to start growing there and they are hard stop.
2 Insights
1. I never knew asbestos could be that lethal. It can cause cancer and lead to you dying a very painful death 2. Asbestos is still found in one of three homes which is a lot of homes with asbestos and because how harmful it is, I wouldn’t want to be living in one with asbestos.
1 Question
1. Did the asbestos companies know about how dangerous it was if they did why did they not tell about and why sell it?

1. Popcorn isn’t made from normal corn and it isn’t made from normal corn because it doesn’t completely pop 2. Popcorn pops because water inside the shell gets heated to around 230 degrees the water turns into steam and forces the kernel to turn inside out 3. There are two types of popcorn the butterfly and the mushroom, the butterfly ones are what you usually find in the movies and they are meant to feel a lot better in your mouth, the mushroom popcorn is commonly found in packaged popcorn because they are a lot tougher so they don’t get squished.

1. Popcorn is much deeper than I thought and there is a lot to go to just make popcorn 2. Popcorn has many stages before it is packaged and now I know what they are.
1 Question
1. When, why and who invented popcorn
On Monday the 28th of October a group went to the Gene Technology Access Centre(GTAC Website: http://www.gtac.edu.au/) to explore different types of microscopes and microscopic things, the group was made mostly of band students and some other students.
What we did at GTAC was we looked at microorganisms and there were a lot in the water, it was amazing. We used compound and stereo microscopes and we learned how to use them. We had to solve a case so we looked at several things found and put them under a microscope. At the end we cracked the case. We did it with our science mentors who taught us a lot for example how to use a compound microscope
The people where great, they were easy to understand and specked load and clear. The science mentors where very nice and helped us when we had trouble and they obviously knew what they were doing.
3 Facts
1. Two types of microscopes are compound and stereo 2. Things change a huge amount when put under a microscope 3. GTAC stands for Gene Technology Access Centre.
2 Understandings
1. There is a whole another world beyond what you can see a world which is beyond what the naked eye can see 2. There is a place called GTAC I never knew that but it’s a real place because I went to it I still don’t know what it fully does though, maybe genes.
1. Question
1. Why did GTAC get built?

GTAC is definitely a once in a lifetime experience because it is fun, exiting and engaging. What we did at GTAC was we looked at microorganisms and there where a lot in the water, it was amazing. We used compound and stereo microscopes and we learned how to use them.
GTAC has been amazing and the things I learned I can use for example how to use a microscope and I know this will help me in science in the future years.
GTAC is a once in a lifetime experience because you can’t do it again because you already know it.

Answer:
8x 7 =56
What’s the BIG Question? :
What number goes in the box?
What Strategy Will I Use? :
Create a mathematical problem
Solving Procedure:
I know eight times seven equals fifty-six so I put seven in the box and to check it I did eight times seven equals fifty-six.
