The nobles, halogens and other gases.

periodic table, Science

In the Periodic table there is a few types of gases. These are the nobles, two of the halogens  the three nonmetals.

The nobles are Helium, neon, argon, krypton, Xenon, Radon and Organesson.  The noble gases are special because they are non reactive with other elements.  Radon and Organesson are radio-active.

The two Halogen gases are Florine and chlorine. They are very reactive and chorine is very hazardous if miss used.

Floride that’s a compound of Florine is in toothpaste and helps to stop cavities.

The three non metals are Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.

Hydrogen is the lightest and first element.  It is also very flammable and it what powers the sun.

Nitrogen makes up 78% of the air we breath and is present in all living things.

Oxygen is also in the air and like Nitrogen it is in all living things and is vital for us to to live.  It also vital component for fire.

My Haiku poem

Family, General, periodic table

Yesterday I was given a head teachers award and put in the schools Good Book for writing a Haiku poem about autumn. A Haiku poem is a poem with 5 syllables in the first line 7 syllables in the 2nd line and 5 syllables in the 3rd line, a total of 17 syllables.  

Leaves are falling down

The branches are getting bare

Jumping in the leaves

I read my poem and explained what a Haiku poem is to the whole school and some parents, including mummy.  

As a reward Mummy & Daddy gave me a card and a box of molicules.  

I love science!!

Watching rugby

Family

I watched the rugby (Cornish Pirates v’s Osprey’s (premier select)) with Grandma, Grandad and Mummy.  I supported the Cornish Pirates.  The Pirates did very well they won 41  – 5.  I really enjoyed the match.  At half time some young children played rugby and others were practising on the pitch.  I wanted to play as well.

I enjoyed shouting for the Cornish Pirates “go on Cornish Pirates, you can do it!!!”.  It was sooooo cool you should go there when you come to Cornwall on holiday, you could go to the beach if the rugby is not on. 

Rocks and minerals

Uncategorized

All of the minerals are different, like pyrite, chalcopyrite even though they look the same.  But they are definitely different, chalcopyrite is made of copper, pyrite is made of iron sulfide.  

Tomorrow is an inset day so mummy and I are going to Lyme Regis where Mary Anning went fossil hunting.  We are going to see how many fossils we can find.  

Yesterday we went swimming, I swam half a length on my front and half a length on my back.
