In case you have forgotten, the blue team members are Amirul, Nadiah, Nurul, Khadijah, Danish, Brian, Rifdi, Rida, Royston and Irfan.

If you want, you may attempt both the assignments.

Science Discussion

Hi guys! Do you agree with this statement.

The water cycle helps to purify water.

Comment please!

Alternate angles (Angles within 'Z')

Some of you uses the concept of aternate ngles (not taught yet) to solve angles problems. What I shared with the class was that the two angles shown above are equal if the two lines are equal. Using what you know about angles, can you explain why the angles are equal?

Parallelogram

Here's another question!

Is a rectangle also a parallellogram? Explain. He he.

Math Question - for Everyone!

Tom had 20 marbles more than Jerry. Tom then gave some of his marbles to Jerry. As a result, Jerry now has 36 more marbles than Tom. How many marbles did Tom gave Jerry? Explain.

This post can only be commented by the Blue Team: namely Rida, Rifdi, Amirul, Royston, Nadiah, Nurul, Khadijah, Brian, Danish and Irfan. The rest, have patience ok?

Question:

Sam says that he has a triangle whose 3 angles are 36, 98 and 72 (degrees). Is this possible? Explain.

Science - Water and its States

Hi Guys!

Is the following statement true?

Water will change from a liquid to a gas (gaseous state0 when the temperature reaches 100 degrees Celsius. Otherwise it will remain a liquid.

Any comments?

Membership Drive

Hi 5A,

As of today, you need to be members before you can comment on my blog. Anyway, can someone follow up on my entry regarding the NE show video?

Math Discussion Yellow 1

Hi Yellow Team! It's your turn now.

Consider the storyline below.

60% of the people at a park were adults. 75% of the rest were boys.
There were 140 more adults than girls.

What questions can you ask? Remember to ensure that you can solve your own questions first!

Let's see who can come up with the most complicated question!

Math Discussion - Blue 1

Hi Blue Team! A math trivia for you. Consider the product below.



Each letter represents a number from 0 to 9.
Which two numbers can the letter E represent? Why can't it be other numbers?

NE Show - What's happening?

I recorded this video during the NE show. Watch the video. What do you notice? Look closely at the smoke that comes out of the guns on the boats and listen. Notice anything weird or peculiar? I want to hear from you 5A!

Gene Fest @ Singapore Science Centre

Excitement filled the air in the afternoon of Friday, 17th July 2009 as the pupils of 5A boarded the bus, bringing them to the Singapore Science Centre. It was a pleasant trip, the pupils chatting happily amongst themselves.

The first part of the trip was a briefing in the auditorium where they learnt of the various strains of Flu virus. H1N1, H5N1, H7N7...


Following that , they went for an exhibit walk where they had loads of fun interacting with the various exhibits.

The climax of the day was in the kitchen lab at the Omnitheatre where they made a jelly model of a bacteria cell. The pupils learnt a lot about the different parts of a bacterial cell, including the fact that it has no nucleus. The best part was that they get to bring it home and eat it too!






First we put in the jelly.














Then we pour in the hot water.












Just keep stirring. Just keep stirring.
Just keep stirring, stirring, stirring!












Then we put in the organelles!















And its done!


















Look Ma! My very own bacteria jelly!
















Zhu Deng feeding his dinosaur his 'bacteria' jelly. So that's why the dinosaurs became extinct.






All in all, everyone enjoyed themselves, the teachers included.

Question: If we were to do this in class, making a plant cell instead of bacterial cell, what food items can we use for the different parts of the plant cell?

5A, I await your ideas!
