Found Sound
Is nearly Christmas and we have a new task. For this task we are gonna make sound without instruments, we could use different type of objects to make sound, like a can. In this task I made a small drum kit with BBQ sticks and a cookie container.
Here is my results.
Make Something That Floats!
New fresh day=New tasks! For this task we are gonna make something that floats, It could be made of sticks wood or anything else that floats. Once I started this activity I tried to use sticks but all of the sticks on my backyard was super to thin and it probably won't float, for my second idea I tried to use Jenga blocks and for my surprise it actually floats so thats what my boat is made off. For my first experiment I build a 4 block (wide) platform with tape so I can just see how good it floats. Anyways here a video of the platform I build.
For the next experiment I use a Lego car to see if the platform can withstand the weight of the Lego car
Well it turns out it can't withstand the weight of a Lego car, the problem is that the Lego car keeps slipping off the platform so my Idea to fix it is to add 4 more blocks under the platform to make it more buoyant, I guess? I think i'm using the right term.
Finally it floats with the Lego Car, this took me lot's and time and effort so for my own reward I test it on a whirlpool, Here it is!
Conclusion:
It has been a fun activity and one of my favourite ones. I'm hopping to do more of these type of activity.
Magic Trick
New Day, New task! For this task we are gonna learn how to do magic tricks by watching this video and show them to our family. Here is me taking a video showing my mum my magic trick that I learned.

Christmas Decoration
New Task's for today! For this task we are gonna make our own special Christmas tree decoration for this I made a bell. I chose to make a bell because is unique and simple but it has nothing to do with my family..
TimeCraft
Its the Wednesday 15 2021 and there a new Minecraft task to do in the Summer Learning Journey. For this task we travel into space so we can build better future and solving mysteries by coding, The game let's you chose your coding methods, I chose python (Coding language) since I've use blocks so many times. The game let's you chose witch timeline to fix and you could only do that 3 times. The game has many historic timeline to chose. for the 1st task the game forces you to save "jazz" in the 19's so they can just show you the basics, but once you Finnish it you can chose any timeline. for the second one i chose to do ancient Egypt because i never really got interested in ancient Egypt so thats why I chose to try it. For the task your trying to make a simple pyramid by coding it was quite simple and easy for me. At the end I really enjoyed it. For my next timeline I chose to do something about science I really don't remember what happen so I have no explanation for that timeline. At the end it was fun I learned new things about coding I really enjoy the task, I'm looking forward to the next Hour of Code task.
Anyways here is the certificate you get at the end.
(If you complete it)
Draw A Geometree
A new day and a new task! For this task you are making a tree with triangles in it, it sounds simple, right? well thats what i thought. It turns out is quite hard for me in reality, I tried doing it in google drawing at 1st but it didn't turn up good. So I have one and only choice, paper. For me i'm not big fan of drawing in paper im more a fan of doing things with technology since thats how i am built. So I grab my scrapbook and stared drawing and when I finish it i was quite happy to see the success of it.
Here the Geometree
And here me holding it.

Make Something That Flies
Its Week 1 and the Summer Learning Journey Starts! For the 1st task in the Summer Learning Journey Nano Girl has setup an activity for us to do, in this activity we are gonna try to make something that flies, such as planes. Nano Girl has setup list of instructions for 3 different types of planes and these are, a traditional paper plane, a ring glider and a hoop glider. I chose to make a normal paper plane since its very easy to make but I did some testing with it. For my 1st test I measured how far does a normal size paper plane goes, Here is the Results.
The Results are 360 cm to my feet to Point of impact by using rulers.
For the next test I use a smaller paper plane (4 cm shorter in width) to see if size affect the distance the plane travels.
Here is the results
Preparing For Christmas
Is nearly Christmas so me and Room 6 in bubble school made a Christmas Wreath and a Christmas Tree. We use coloured paper and we rip them off to make the Christmas Wreath. For the Christmas tree we use glue to stick pasta so we can shape the Christmas Tree and then we use Golden Spray to spray our Christmas Tree.
Here is the end results
Art Colouring Book - NASA Edition
Is nearly summer and the wonderful Manaiakalani community has setup another Summer Learning Journey (SLJ), with awesome activities for you to do in the summer days. Since it hasn't fully started, the Summer Learning Journey Staff's have offer us a warm up activity. In this case is a online Art Colouring Book (NASA Edition)
Here is my experience colouring a Astronaut Orbiting in our Earth
