Attitide of a vet

I think that a vet should have a caring attitude be it towards toward humans or animals.If a vet is not caring,the vet would not treat the animal with care and concern.Without care and concern,the vet would not do his or her best to save the animal.

Setting SMART Goals

My goal is to have leadership skills and to be a confident speaker.What does it take to have leadership skills and to be a confident speaker?Well to me,having leadership skills is to be able to lead a group of people effectively.An example is to be the captain of the volleyball C Division and lead them through all the exercise effectively.Then what about being a confident speaker?I think that being a confident speaker is to be able to communicate with people effectively and not be afraid.An example is to be the President of any country.Presidents have an important role and they have to be communicate to the whole country.If the Presidents were not  confident speakers,they would no be able to stand in front of a crowd and speak.

Science Notes(which type of matter expands the most)

Is it solids?

Is it liquids?

Or is it gases?

The answer is gases.Why?

Gases, as they are already in random motion and fill the volume available, will expand much more readily, and much more than Solids and Liquids. A fully inflated balloon when heated will expand and probably 'Pop!' When gases are heated, the added energy makes them move even faster and thus expand. Gases tend to occupy whatever space is available.

Science Notes(ball and ring experiment)

Why is the metal ball able to pass through the metal ring after heating the ring?

When the ring is heated,it expands in size and the ball which is still the same size as before is able to pass through the expanded metal ring.

I had this question in my mind after watching and learning the ball and ring experiment.When you heat the ring,does it mean that the whole ring expands or just the hole on the middle that expands.My guess is that the whole ring expands as it cannot be the hole that only expands.If only the hole expands,then the proportionate of the hole to the whole ring is wrong.Also,when you heat up the ring,th whole ring gains heat and not only the ring.that is how I came to the conclusion tha when you heat up the ring,it is the whole ring that expands and not only the hole in the middle of the ring.

Scence Notes(bimetallic strip)

Today we learnt what is the bimetallic strip,how it works,its uses in a fire alarm and the household appliances that use the bimetallic strip.U may wonder what a bimetallic strip is.Well,a bimetallic strip is simply two strips of different metal stuck together.How does it work?It works by heating it and the metal that expands more will also bend more,hence being the outer strip of metal.How does it help in a fire alarm system?When the heat emitted by the fire heats up the bimetallic strip,the bimetallic strip will bend downwards,hence causing a close circuit so that electricity can flow through the closed circuit and can ring the bell to alert the people.You have not realise but bimetallic strip are all around us.Irons and refrigerators all use the bimetallic strip.

Science Notes(what happens when you increase the size of the capillary tube)

What will happen if you increase the size of the capillary tube?

Scientific principles have the knack of explaining abnormal events that occur around us. A liquid, like water, ascending up a narrow tube naturally is not considered as a typical occurrence. Since, water and other liquids in general flows with the gravitational forces, it requires specific circumstances and physical effect to flow against the forces of gravity. This scientific phenomenon is called capillary action. The transportation of water from the roots to leaves of the tree happens due to the underlying principles of cohesion and transpiration.

Practical use of capillary action is evident in all forms of our daily lives. It makes performing our tasks efficiently and effectively. 

Cce(job ambitions)

My job ambition is to be a veterinarian.A vet or a veterinarian, is someone who gives animal medical treatment. They are doctors for animals. There are many different types of veterinarians; some work with small animals, large farm animals, or wild animals. Veterinarians learn to treat all animals, but sometimes work with a specific type. Other veterinarians specialize in a particular type of medicine - for example, veterinary dermatologists work with animals with skin problems. Finally, some veterinarians do research on animal or human diseases.While there is no veterinary education offered by universities in Singapore, scholarships can be obtained from AVA.

Soil results for soil experiment(Science)

Title: How different types of soil affect the volume of water that pass through it
Introduction: Different types of soil have different size of soil particles
The Aim: To find out if the type of soil affects the amount of water collected in the beaker after 2 minutes
Experimental Design:

Procedures:
1. Set up the 3 experiment as the above design, 1 with top soil, 1 with clay and the other with sand
2. Collect 3 measuring cylinder and measure 150ml of water in each of them
3. Pour all 3 measuring cylinders of water into the 3 experiments at the same time. Start the stopwatch when you started pouring the water into the experiments
4.after 30 seconds , stop the stopwatch and take out the beaker from the experiment.
5, Measure and write down the amount of water collected in the beaker for the 3 experiments
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 another time and find the average between the first and the second time to make sure the results are reliable

The results:

Analysis and Discussion of Results:
The sand allows the most amount of water to pass through. Why? There is the most air holes in the sand. What does this show you? The particles of sand is the largest, so when the particles are bigger, there is a larger empty space which is taken by air. When water is poured, the water pushes the air out and creates a way for the water to pass through

Conclusion
Task 1:Clay is the best soil to be used in sand bags to build the levee. As we want least water to pass through. From the experiment, clay allows the least amount of water to pass through that is why it is the best soil to be used in the sand bag to build a levee

Task 2: Section B should be the place to build the levee first. As the soil there is clay, it allows the least volume of water to sip into the ground to absorb water while the top soil and sand allows more water to sip into the ground. So when water comes in,more water can sip into the top soil and sand as there is more air holes to allow water to go into it, thus we need to build the levee at section B first

Area for Further Research and Study:
Which soil is used for which plants?
A cactus should be grown on the sand, as the soil should be porous and spread over a deep layer, showing that it need that soil which allows the most water to pass through

Cce(cyber wellness)

5/3/14

For today's cce lesson,we talk about cyber wellness.Before today's cce lesson,I thought that cyber wellness was something that was not important.But after today's lesson,I ,learnt that cyber wellness involves an understanding of the risks of harmful online behaviour, an awareness of how to protect oneself and other Internet users from such behaviour.I also learnt not to give someone you just met on the internet your personal information.I was also informed that many people are being cyber bullied.Many people nowadays use technology for the wrong purpose.Technology should be used for studies,entertainment and surfing the internet.But some people misuse it and use it to bully others.I also learnt that we should mind our language when we type a comment.We should try not to use capital letters although you are trying to express your anger.

Memorable story

Last December,my family and I went to Hong Kong for a holiday.One of the places we went to was Oceanpark.However,after we took two rides, I started to have stomach flu and also started vomiting.Reluctanly,I had to leave the amusement park in pain.My brother was sad that we only manage to take two rides but he knew that I was in pain.This is one of the experiences that my family and I has experienced.

How I made my parents tear.

My primary school gave all the primary six students a “感恩杯” on the graduation day.In English,the cup is called a “appreciation cup”.My school gave us that cup hoping that we would serve tea to our parents during Chinese New Year to show respect to our parents who have brought us up.That was what I did to make my parents tear.On the first day of Chinese New Year,I served Chinese tea to my parents with the appreciation cup.After both my parents drank the tea, they started to tear.That was how I made my parents tear.

Which is the lightest?

Which is the lightest?

Ans:Glycerine

Why:After comparing all the different liquids and wooden cubes,I came to the conclusion that Glycerine is the lightest liquid among all the three liquids.The wooden cube that is in the container containing Glycerine is floating the hightest.The higher the wooden cube floats,the lighter the liquid.That is how I came up with my answer.

Science

In order for ships to journey across the open sea, they must withstand weight of the ship, along with the weight of the passengers. With a little help from the principles of density and buoyancy,ships can float on water  and sail the seas with ease.The ships float on the water because they weigh less than the water that they float on. As the  ships floats on the water, it is displacing the water around it ,hence allowing the ship to float on the water
