**Teacher Comment:** Well done Ella. A nicely presented Science Fair. Good to see you include your before and after fabric samples on your board. Good linking of your conclusion to your hypothesis. You could have carried out some more research into why fabric fades to back up your conclusion though. Your experiment was carried out well for a decent amount of time and was very accurate with you recording weather etc.. A well thought through Science Fair Ella, well done.

**Student Comment:** I really enjoyed doing the science fair, and I have learn't a lot, like what fabric colour fades the quickest. I was really scared about presenting it in front of the class though. I think that it is a very good idea to have science fair at this school! If I had to do this again I would have more fabrics to chose from because the point in this experiment was to find out what fabric was the best!



We went to the science lab today and we did lots of experiments it was really fun because every experiment was different. My favourite one was one that we put our hands in the bowl in the middle of two other bowls and it would feel cold, and then leave them in there for about 30 seconds and then you put your hands in the two outside bowls once again we left them in it for about 30 seconds. After we put our hands back into the middle bowl and it felt a lot warmer!

__**Friday 13th May**__ we went into the science lab and we did a thing called kitchen caouse and there were five different ingredience Baking Soda, Salt, Icing Sugar, Cream of Tarter. our group guessed that the first one would be Icing Sugar, but it was Corn Flour. We guessed the next one would be Salt, and it was Salt, we were right! Then we thought the next one was Baking Soda, it was Cream of Tarter then we thought cream of tarter and it was Baking Soda.

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 mainly loops I think this because when I looked at them they were mainly loops!

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 finger prints.
 * 2) press one of your fingers firmly on the black. Place the sticky side of the tape onto the tip of your finger print. {you may need help 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 to label them as either arches, loops or whorls.

Conclusion: I found out what my finger prints were. My right hand thumb was Loop, My left hand thumb was Arch, Left hand Index was Whorl, my right hand Arch. Then my Middle, left hand Arch. Ring Left hand Loop also my right hand was Loop. Last but not least My little fingers were both Loop!
