**Teacher Comment:** Great consistency with you presentation Cameron, very effective. Good to see you including reasons as to why you thought of your hypothesis. Good clear method that is easy to follow and good thinking with having 4 different people chew the gum to get an average time the taste lasted for. Did you carry out the experiment more than once? You needed to do this to ensure your results are not a fluke first time round. Excellent graphing of your results. Did you do any research into the ingredients of bubble gum and what gives it the flavour? You needed to include this in your conclusion to help back up why you achieved your results. Overall a well carried out Science Fair on a topic you were obviously interested in.

**Student Comment:** It was a bit hard but when I did it the 2nd time around it was a bit easy and when I did it the 3ed time I could do it like a pro. In total I cared it out 4 or 5 times. I started to run out of bubble gum at the end so I had to go get more so I had to do the experiment all over again. I think I should of looked up on google and see what gave the bubble gum flavor.

This week was science week and the class went to science lab to do some experiments. My favorite experiment was phone (cup) with a string attacked to the end and with another cup at the end and my buddy's Dave and Rubin.

Yesterday we went to the science lab and we did CSI and my group thought that cup A was Cornflower B was salt C was Cream Of Tartar D was Baking Soda.

WALT - Identify and group fingerprints into 3 main categories : arch, loop and whorl

 AIM - To identify your own fingerprints out of an arch, loop and whorl.

 HYPOTHESIS I think my finger prints are ............ I think this because .......

 EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape

 METHOD 
 * 1) Rub the sides of the pencil lead back and forth on the sheet of paper to build up the black area large enough to take 10 prints.
 * 2) Press one of your fingertips onto the black. Place the sticky side of a piece of tape over your fingerprint. (you may need a friend to help you for this.)
 * 3) Tape the print to the correct location on the fingerprint form.
 * 4) Using the magnifying glass compare your prints to the pitchers above and try ladle them as either as archers, loops or whorls.

Results: My results for this were my right thumb and my right index finger is loop and my right middle, ring and pinky are arch and my left thumb is loop, my index, middle, ring and pinky are arch.

Conclusion:
