croaking frogs
Yesterday after lunch I could the frogs croaking.
Please write a paragraph on each of the following questions:
What special features do frogs have?
Do they all have the same type of feet?
What do frogs eat?
How do frogs’ features help them to survive?
How are frogs different to other animals? How are frogs similar to other animals?
How many fingers and toes do frogs have?
What is the difference between frogs and toads?

Fabulous Frogs!
This term our science topic is
We are going to learn about the frogs that can be found in our local area about their habitat.
To start we are going to explore the ponds (puddles!!!) around our school and see if we can find some frogs. We can certainly hear them, hopefully we will be able to observe some too!
Here's two photos I took of a frog that Jack found in the school yard on Tuesdsay.
Here is a picture of the frog that we found on our walk around the school yard today.
The following website will help you to identify the frogs that we found in our school yard.
Frogs of Australia
Here are some websites that you will need to explore to find information for today's lesson.

Camp
Can you believe it? We will be on camp in just a few days time! We can’t wait!
Here’s a list of things to remember to bring.
What to wear:
You’ll need to wear long pants and sturdy runners on the first day because we will be going for a long walk before we even get to the camp.
What to bring on the bus:
Small backpack with:
What to pack:
As space is very limited, please don’t bring a suitcase. Suitcases take up lots of room that we don’t have in the trailer. Bags take up less room than a case. Please make sure that if you are bringing a pillow, or doona that it is put in a bag so it wont get dirty in the trailer, there will not be very much room in the car to transport luggage.
What NOT to bring:
If you bring a camera it is your responsibility to look after it.
Looking forward to a fun camp
Mrs I & Miss B!

Accuracy and Precision
Accuracy - compares measurement with real value
Precision - how carefully and exactly you make your measurement, and the regularity of obtaining the same result
If scientific results are both accurate and precise, they are considered to be valid and true, and is therefore reliable.
When we did our experiments with the m&ms. We realized that we were not being very precise, our results were not reliable. We changed the way we conducted the experiments to make our measurements more precise, which meant our tests were more reliable.
Different situations call for the amount of precision required. If you asked me how long it takes me to drive to Melbourne, I would say 1/2 an hour (even if it only takes me 26 minutes) we round time up and down, because we know that the person asking that question doesn't need such a precise answer. If you asked an runner what their quickest time is to to run 10km, they would give you a more precise time, they might say 43 minutes and 24.7 seconds. Both answers are accurate, but the precision depends upon the amount of information required.
If I asked you how long your desk is, you might say 1.5 m, 152cm, or 1523mm. All are accurate, but one is more precise. Which one would be the answer you would give? Our precision depends on who requires the information, or why they require the information. The smaller the measurement unit, the greater the precision.
If I'm an archer and hit the target in the bullseye I have been accurate. If I continue to hit the target in the bullseye, I will be showing precision. If I don't continue to hit the bullseye, I have been accurate with one shot, but not precise. If I keep hitting the tree next to the target, I am being precise, but not accurate.
Confusing huh?

To summarize:
The precision of a measurement is the size of the unit you use to make a measurement. The smaller the unit, the more precise the measurement.
The accuracy of a measurement is the difference between your measurement and the accepted correct answer. The bigger the difference, the less accurate your measurement

If Bullet could speak...
I wonder what he would say...
btw, I'm not saying that Bullet needs a pet friend... ;-)

Metamorphosis
WOW! I am so amazed at how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly! The caterpillar goes through such a complete and amazing transformation. It has new eyes, new digestive system, new legs - pretty much everything is new and nothing is left of the caterpillar!
A caterpillar changing into a butterfly (metamorphosis) is an example of chemical change. It is irreversible.
The caterpillar that becomes the monarch butterfly is about 2mm long when it hatches from its egg. In the following two weeks, it increases it's "birth" weight by 3000 times. Which is like an 8lb baby growing to 10 tonnes in two weeks (that's the weight of about 5 cars!!!) No wonder it needs to shed its skin three or four times in such a short time.
