Science Explanation

Science Explanation 

At school, for this past term we have been doing science. We had to do our experiment and then write and explanation about it. Here is my explanation, let me know your favorite memory and what you learnt. 


The main science behind it is the verbal memory aid,  known as mnemonic. Mnemonic is a system you can use with your memory to sort ideas, patterns, letters and associations of a word to remember things.  So if someone said to remember a hat, your mnemonic system would be thinking of words that you would associate with it to remember the word. For example head. Now when you think of head you are reminded of the word to remember, hat. That’s how you can help your hippo campus to remember things.

Your hippo campus is in the stem of your brain, it is basically the control center of your memories. It is located within the brains medial temporal lobe, the hippo campus is used mainly with memory.  
So the word you were told to remember is stored in the hippo campus and triggered by the associated words or sayings but what does the brain do to actually retrieve your memory?

A Flying Teabag

Tea Bag Rocket Experiment.
In literacy we had to write an explanation on an experiment that we did. Flying tea bags.
Here is my explanation:

Did you know that if you light a tea bag on fire it will fly up into the air ;however, it has to be done
a certain way. Here is why and how that happens.

or heavier and far more dense. The tea bag burns downwards because it’s looking for the easiest
molecules to burn. When you light the top of the tea bag on fire (when it is standing upright) the
air inside the tea bag it becomes hot and less dense. Because of this the cold air around it rushes
to the bottom.  The less dense hot air, still inside the tea bag rises because of the cold air pushing
it upwards.

The hot air rises and flies into the air just like a hot air balloon. This is a very cool reaction and a very easy to do.  

This was my explanation on flying tea bags.
Please let me know in the comments some feedback about my language and punctuation!

Another Poem

My dopey Cat 

 Slowly strut up the hall 
Here you come fluffiest of  all 
The purring motor begins to start

But then you ruin it with a fart
I look at your face I adore
and you jump from the couch to the floor. 

But you don't put your landing gear down
and fall on your face you little clown.

Poems

The smell throughout the house was tangy 
Boiling food made by Nanny
I sat at the table thinking twice
She knows I hate eating rice 
Another chaotic family dinner.

Limerick

There was Potatoes all throughout the land 
Sometimes I wonder why they're so bland
Chop them up and put them on your plate 
Oh potatoes you really are great
Potatoes; a dinner never really planned.
