You do A³

Next you do (A+A) times B which equals A²B
Next you do A times (B+B) which equals AB²
Lastily you do B³
Now you put the answer together
=A³ + A²B + AB² + B³

Accident and Bike Photos

In the week-end Papa and I took Karl down to Cambridge for a bike race for Karl.
On Sunday before the race started, I went down a wet grass hill with road tires on my bike.
I was going too fast and my pedal made two big cuts in my leg.
I put my bike on the ground and went up to Karl.
I told Karl what had happened and he went down to get my bike.
A man from a tent close to the Remuera Intermediate came over to see what had happened.
The man went and got his first aid kit.
Papa came and helped the man put a bandage on my cuts.
I went to the car to wait for the medic.
Papa took me over to see the event medic.
They put something else on my two cuts and said that I should get stitches to make it heal faster.
Papa took me to an A&E Clinic
A man numbed my leg.
The man put in the stitches.
At the fifth stitch, I was sick on the bed then in a cup.
The man put on a covering on my stitches and told me some things to do.
We picked Karl up then went home to Mama.

Bread

One day in the weekend I decided to follow up on our science learning at school so I made 2 loaves of bread. I used the Edmonds Cookbook recipe to make the Wholemeal Bread.

First of all, I combined the first ingrediants in a bowl. The yeast fed off the honey in the warm water and created froth with water underneath.

Yeast is a single-celled organism and needs four conditions if it is to begin dividing and growing, which is how it raises the dough. The sugar starts the fermentation. The heat makes the yeast start working but too much heat will destory it. Another condition required for yeast to work is moisture which, like the heat, is provided by the hot water. Time is needed to complete the process.

Next I put in the wholemeal flour and the high grade flour in a another bowl. I then mixed the frothy mixture with the solids. I then kneeded the dough, put the dough in how water and waited. I then kneeded it again then put it back in hot water. I let it rise then baked it.

It was yum and I made 2 loaves.

Activity 4
Melting Ice Cubes
Question:Where will Ice cubes melt faster
Hypothesis:Will an ice cube melt in a hot place faster than a cold place
Method:
1.Get two paper towels
2.Use a ruler and biro to draw squares which are 2cm x 2cm
3.Place one paper towel in a flat warm place, and the other in a flat colder place
4.Place an ice cube in the middle of each paper towel
5.Measure around the water stain after 5 minutes
Result:Hot place ice cube melted more

Conclusion:The hot place ice cube had heat and heat and ice makes water but the cold place ice cube had no heat so it did not melt much
