Gravity Experiment


We carried out an investigation, using objects of different sizes and shapes.
We used a Marble, Ping Pong ball, Sheet of paper Rubber, Pencil, Paper clip, Feather.
First we held two of the objects up at the same height, and then dropped them to see which object would land on the ground first.


When we guessed which item was going to hit the ground first, most of us chose the heaviest of the two. Then we dropped them to find out and the lightest item hit the ground first.


This table represents the results:

I know what it is

They said it was just
an owl in the tree
but they didn't
fool me!

I saw teeth
not a beak,
red eyes
not gold,
and I wont be told
it was only fluff and feathers
round it’s throat;
it was a collar
and those werent wings
but the silky folds
of a black cloak.

That was no
too wit, too woo
I heard.
It was I’ll get  you-ou!

My Speech




Nothing beats a healthy snack more than chocolate, it is a healthy snack for you because it gives you energy. It is also filled with germ killing antioxidants which are also found in most fruit. Another reason why chocolate is good for you is because it can help you during depression, as it releases calming endorphins which can help lift your mood. Eating dark chocolate can also lower your cholesterol and help your blood pressure improve. Researchers in Germany found that chocolate is good for your skin, they did a test and found that after 12 days the chocolate eaters skin was 16% denser and 42% less scaly than the non chocolate eaters.

“I can't eat chocolate because it will make me fat” are the words most spoken each day, but really anything can if it is not eaten in moderation. Chocolate has a lot of benefits from the ingredients in it. Studies show that chocolate is good for more than curing depression, it can also kill so many diseases. The secret is cacao, it is a small bean that is packed with antioxidants that can kill germs and diseases, but if it is eaten by itself it tastes bitter and disgusting.

If you are on a diet and want some chocolate but don't want to pack on the pounds,
dark chocolate can help with that, dark chocolate is filing and less fat than most other types of chocolate. It can also prevent diabetes. If you are struggling with a difficult test, eating chocolate will help boost your brain power. Would you rather eat vegetables, vegetables do have a lot of antioxidants but not as many as chocolate. Vegetables are good for keeping you fit  but chocolate is good for depression, diabetes, diarrhea, coughs and colds and many other things you never imagined.
