What is The Best Way To Protect Plants From Bugs? Science by Gracie & Dareeya

Our Question: What Is The Best Way To Protect Plants From Slugs?

Materials: Seedlings, Netting, Milk, Egg shells, BambooOur Remedies were: saucer of milk, Netting, Eggshells,Orange Peels. All the remedies worked just as well with zero slugs.The science behind the first remedy is that bugs are drawn to the milk because they are curious and drawn in the milk. The reason why the egg shells worked was because the slugs slide across the sharp ends of the eggshells then get stabbed to death.

Raft Building

Nerves knocked my confidence. With toes lapping the water, I wonder what’s beneath. The raft was slipping away…

Lunging towards me, the ice cold water tries to shove me off. The ravenous water crawls up my leg. We were sinking!

Our last option was to jump. Waiting to just below, the water is ready to be disturbed. A rush of water came above my head. We were under.

          

Passions

Technology is our focus this term. My passion is to dance so I made a dance inspired photo frame.

I practiced with all natural clay, and did the final with air drying clay. Our idea is to maybe bury or relics somewhere in the school grounds. Our inspiration was when Mrs Strathern went to Pompeii and found lots of relics from thousands of years ago. I had to modify my design by making sure that the back stuck to the front making it stand up.
