Learning about Ukulele
Hi guys today I am going to be telling you about what we are learning in class for period 4.
We have been learning about ukulele's.
The other day the whole class was practicing the ukulele there were about four people who had a certain part. the teacher put a song on the screen and when it was there part that's when they had to strum and the others were singing the song.
Where was the first ukulele made.
That's a really good question. The first ukulele was made in hawaii. actually i did't know this fact either but I guess we are all learning new things everyday.
What are the names for the sizes of ukulele
The ukulele most commonly comes in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone I didn't know until one of my friends told me.
I hoped you like reading my blog post byee.

Skittle colours experiment
Aim
I want to find out what happens when you Skittle colours.
Method:
Equipment
- Skittles
- Petri dish
- Warm water
- Beaker
- White background
Instructions
- Get your equipment
- Place your petri dish on the white background
- Put your skittles around the inside edge of the petri dish
- Gently pour warm water into the middle of the petri dish
- Observe what happens
Prediction:
- i think that the colours will start to merge into the middle then once the colours comes of the skittles they will be white and if you pick the grape flavour and mix the colour of the water will be brown.
Discussion:
Why does the colours dissolve?
REASON 1: The reason food colours meet in the centre of the plate and not mix is because the food colour has the same sugar amount dissolved from each skittles, when the sugar dissolves it pushes outwards into the rest of the solution, sending the colour outwards as well.
REASON 2: The skittle colours have tons of molecules and molecules don't like to be near other molecules so the colour spreads outward towards the centre where no colour is, so it diffuses (spread over a wide area or between a large number of people) towards the centre.
