**Teacher Comment:**

A fantastic looking science fair board Quinn, well done. I love your title. Good hypothesis that is explained well. Great repeating of your experiment to ensure your results were not a fluke first time round. You obtained some interesting results here and have attempted to explain why you achieved them. Great to see you reflect on your results and why some balls worked and others didn't. Some good research into gravity and how this affected your results. I am amazed by your results as I would not have thought they would all travel at the same speed. Overall very well done Quinn.

**Student Comment:**

I really enjoyed doing this experiment it was very fun. With my experiment it all took me one week cause I only had one week left because i tried doing this other experiment and it wasn't working that well. Overall I think I did very well with this experiment and the results were amazing I thought the weight would affect my results but it doesn't matter if its heavier or lighter they all go the same speed.

This week was science week and me and the rest of the class went to the science lab to do some experiments. My favorite science experiment was the phone cup it was so cool. You have one cup on one side and another cup on the other and they are attached together bye a piece of string it works bye the piece of string sending sound waves to the other end and you could hear them from ages away. Me and my buddie (zac mckenzie) made it so four people could talk to each other if we crossed the strings it was sooo cool.

__Friday 13th May__

In the science lab yesterday we were trying to find out what the substances were in the container's a,b,c,d and e and the substances were salt, vinegar, cornflour, cream of tarter and bicarbonate of soda but my group Quintin Dave and me (Quinn) had to find out which substance was which and it was a fun experiment this is how we found out. we new that to find out what the salt was to look cause all of us new what salt looked like.

__ 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 mostly loops and one finger is an arch I think this because i can see my fingers and i think i'm right.

EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape

METHOD



Equipment - pencil, paper, stickey tape, magnifying glass.

Method 1. Rub the sides of a pencil lead back and forth on a sheet of paper to build up the black area large enough to take 10 print's 2. Press one of your fingertips firmly onto the black. Place the sticky side of tape over your fingertips (You may need a friend to help you with this). 3. Tape the print to the correct location on the finger print form. 4. Using the magnifying glass compare your prints to the pictures above and try and label them as either arches, loops and whorls.

Conclusion: My results are my right thumb, index, middle, ring and my little was all are loop and my left thumb, middle, ring and my little was all a loop and my left index was a arch.
