Times Tables:
Here are some interactive games to help you remember those tricky times tables. Access our class blog http://year5and6t.edublogs.org/ click on the Ambleside primary link under International Classes . Try out a few of the activities and record your best results.
Patterns
Complete the pattern for the first ten terms.
What is the rule for this pattern? ___________________________________
What will be the number for the 15th term?
Adding Fractions
Add the numerator (top number) but keep the denominator (bottom Number) the same.
It may help to draw pictures at first.
When the denominators are different find a common denominator.
The denominators are 4 and 3.
A shared multiple of 4 and 3 is 12
(4x3=12, 3x4=12)
Multiply the denominator 4 by 3 4 x 3 = 12
Do the same to the numerator 1 x 3 = 3
Multiply the denominator 3 by 4 3 x 4 = 12
Do the same to the numerator 2 x 4 = 8
Now finish the addition.

Science - Static Electricity
Atoms are made of protons, electrons and neutrons. They are very different from each other in their "charge." Protons have a positive (+) charge. Electrons have a negative (-) charge. Neutrons have no charge. Usually, atoms have the same number of electrons and protons.
When atoms rub together, electrons can move between atoms giving some extra electrons. They then have a negative charge. Other atoms lose electrons and they then have a positive charge. We call this called static electricity.
So, why does your hair stand up after you take jumpers off? Your jumper rubs against your hair and electrons move from your hair to the jumper. Your hair now has more positive charge than before. So the hairs try to move away from each other. The farthest they can get is to stand up and away from all the other hairs.
To demonstrate the effect of static electricity, try rubbing a balloon on hair and attempt to pick up tiny paper pieces with the statically charged balloon.
Question for investigation: Does short or long hair produce more static electricity?
Prediction: __________________________________________________________________________
Variables are the environmental and other factors that will effect the result of the experiment.
One variable will be measured.
One variable will be changed. - the different types of hair.
All other variables must be identified and controlled.
Complete the variables grid.
Draw a labelled diagram of your experiment. List the materials you need.
