**Teacher Comment:** Great use of photos on your science fair board Taylah, I am really surprised that it took so long for the bread to go mouldy. Do you know why this was? A nice simple experiment that was well carried out, but could have been improved by you testing more slices of the different types of bread in different places around the house, therefore seeing if the hot water cupboard had an effect on the mould or not. Good discussion of your results and you have included a little bit of science behind the ingredients of the bread. Well done

**Student Comment:**

I really enjoyed do my Science Fair I thought it was really fun and I didn't expect the bread to take that long to go mouldy. The thing I enjoyed the most was put all of the stuff on the board and see what it looked like I thought that it looked pretty good! The thing I needed to work on was my title because it looked a bit messy and all of the stuff was typed up and the the title was done by hand, I also think that I needed to work on was the writing on the brown because it was light blue on my computer but when it printed out it went a sort of dark blue and that was hard to read. So over all I think I did pretty well!

__**Science experiments.**__

**Today we went into the science lab and did some cool experiments my favourite one was the spoon one which was where you had to have one spoon one piece and tie it to the spoon and rap your two index fingers around the piece of string and then put your index fingers in your ears and whack it on the table and it makes a ringing noise. That is because when the spoon hit the table it vibrated.**

__**CSI** __


 * __WALT - Identify and group fingerprints into 3 main categories : arch, loop and whorl __ **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> AIM - To identify your own fingerprints out of an arch, loop and whorl. __ **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> HYPOTHESIS I think my finger prints are the loop I think this because when I looked at the my finger they looked like the loop. __ **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape __ **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**__ ﻿ __** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**1. Rub the pencil lead back and forth on a sheet of paper to build up the black area large enough for ten prints.** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**2. Press one of your fingertips firmly onto the black. place the sticky side of a piece of tape over your fingertip.** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**3. Tape the print to the correct location on the fingerprint form.** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**4. Using a magnifying glass compere your prints to the pictures above and try to label them as either arches, loop or whorl.**

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;">**In conclusion my hypothesis was right and all of my fingerprints were loops not arch or whorl.**
