Water Clock Experiment:

Problem:

How much water drips in 15 minutes

Materials:

• Plastic cup
• Beaker/Measuring cup (not to big)
• Pin
• Water

What did we do?

1. We poked a small hole at the bottom of the plastic cup and then we placed the plastic cup in the beaker.
2. Then we poured some water into the plastic cup and we started the 15 minute timer.
3. We waited for 15 minutes.
4. When the timer was done we quickly took the plastic cup and blocked the small hole so that no water could get out. We then tipped out the extra water that was inside the plastic cup and measured the water inside the beaker.
5. Then we repeated it again until we knew for sure our measurements were accurate.

Observation:

1st attempt:

The water was dripping very slowly and it would sometimes stop. We would have to shake and move the cup whenever the water would stop dripping. For the first trial, the results for 15 minutes was 30mls.

2nd Attempt:

The water dripped faster than the first attempt and we squeezed the cup whenever it stopped dripping. We also got a higher result which was 45ml. We didn’t do 30 minutes but we estimated that it should’ve been around 80 ml.

3rd attempt:

We didn’t get to do the third attempt.

Conclusion:

We conclude that our results differ from one another because in our second attempt we loosened the plastic cup . This could be the cause why the water dripped faster than the first attempt.

Europe

Europe

                       

Have you ever visited or been to Rome, Paris, Barcelona or even Venice? Do you know what continent all those fascinating places are part of? Well, all these places are part of Europe.

Europe is the sixth largest continent in area, 3,930,000 square miles and the third largest and third populous continent in population. Europe is made up of 46 different countries and the population is 738,199,000. The population seems a lot but there is five times of the number of people living in Asia today. Not only that, Europe is a very wealthy country. This continent has been the main point of the disastrous wars, World War I and World War II. Not long before, Europe has been united to a common union called the European Union.

Most europeans use Euro as money. There are more than 200 various languages spoken in Europe. Some languages are Danish, Dutch, English, German, Swedish and many more. Europe’s major biomes are the temporary forest and the grasslands. There are many capital cities in Europe, for example, London, Madrid, Budapest. In Spain, there is a tomato fight called La Tomatina every year in Bunol.

Europe’s largest and tallest mountain is Mount Elbrus and the largest and tallest mountain in the West Europe is Mount Blanc measuring 4800m above sea level. Lake Ladoga is the largest lake with an area of 17,670 square kilometers. It is located in north-western Russia, next to the second largest lake, Lake Onega.

A place you should visit is Florence because it has stunning architectures and delicious cuisines. You can also see the beautiful sun set and you might even come across some fashionable Italians.
