Drama

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be talking about puppets and the actions and words we said. The puppet that I was playing was a black banana, a orange and a strawberry. The black banana was the main character and the pineapple. Khaylanie was playing the pineapple and that was it. When we were filming it felt weird because even though I wasn't the one on the camera I was still speaking and sometimes lost the words when speaking. It is about a black banana trying to tell a pineapple that he is no black and that we is the colour nutella but all goes wrong for him when the pineapple turns the light off.

Here is a video that we made



I forgot to show the banana's face and all so it might look funny and weird. I was to focused on talking when I was also meant to be focused on moving the banana and the other fruits behind were just walking along when it came on so they are kind of the audience.

Puberty/clean

We also learnt about puberty but I don't really want to talk about. Well the only thing that I want to talk about is to keep your self clean when you hit puberty. You have to shower everyday at least and change your undies everyday. You also need to clean your face when ever you sweat.

Moons and names	Moon	Phobos and deimos

Conclusion: 

Today I was working with Keyana, Khaylanie, Anneleise and Janel. The first thing that we did was watch a video. It was about a rover landing on mars in a rocket. We took a look at the rover and what it looked like. We than had to draw what it looked like and we had to have detail on it.I have learnt more than ever from mars. Something that I am really amazed about is learning about the length of one year and the length of one day.

The case of the barefoot burglar

The case of the Barefoot Burglar

In groups of 3 you are going to need to use your forensic knowledge to solve a crime. You must use the web page: Barefoot Burglar Evidence

1. Determine which of the four suspects is the "Barefooted Burglar"? 
2. What do you think was the motive for this crime? 
3. Write the results of your findings and convince a jury of your peers

The Crime

At approximately 7:15 a.m., Friday morning, Mrs. King, the science teacher, thought something was fishy as she walked down the hall and noticed that her door was open. She walked into her classroom and immediately discovered that the small aquarium had been broken and her prized gold fish were gasping in the sink. Beside the broken aquarium were the shattered remains of the pink piggy bank that had been on the shelf above the aquarium. A can of blue paint was spilled on the floor. Footprints of a barefooted burglar led to an open window. Bits of a white powdery substance were found next to the broken, empty, piggy bank. The only other item found was a half-eaten large chunk of chocolate candy.

When the police arrived they immediately began to gather forensic evidence.

Dan the Man Height : 176 cm Alias: The General Dan was wearing a woolen general's uniform with small holes when apprehended in the woods. He claimed to be gnawing on wood for moisture and insects to practice his survival training. His teeth look like a beavers from gnawing. His wife complains that she never has any baking soda due to Dan's compulsion about storing clothes in mothballs. He thinks the baking soda takes away the mothball smell, so he stuffs his pockets with the substance. Also, his wife reports that her giant chocolate kisses continually disappear from the candy cupboard. He blames their dog Patton, an English bull terrier, who patrols the neighborhood. His neighbors report that Dan loves the military. He was very regimented about playing taps on his bugle every day at sunset until an irate neighbor broke his bugle. Dan has been trying to save money for a new one. Peg the Leg Height: 152 cm Alias: Lucky Lady

Peg is a librarian known for hanging horseshoes and four leaf clovers in her library. Employees say she is so superstitious she insisted on carpeting in the library instead of laying tiles so she would not step on the cracks. She wraps construction zone tape around open ladders so no one can walk under them. Cola bottles litter her office, which she drinks with chocolate chunks. Her teeth are chipped from knocking the bottles against them. She is always throwing salt over her shoulder for good luck and keeps a salt shaker in her purse. Her alibi is that she was busy closing open umbrellas the morning of the crime.

Jake the Jock

                                                                         Height 201 cm

                                                     Alias: Armchair Quarterback

                                                                                         

Jake the Jock is known for quoting statistics on every sport from boomerang throwing to sled dogging. His neighbors report that he is the neighborhood pitcher for baseball games. Last year a baseball hit him in the mouth and knocked out his front tooth. This has cramped his eating style of chocolate chunks, candied apples, and corn on the cob. His wife claims that on the morning of the crime Jake was rubbing his hands with cornstarch to keep them dry in preparation for an important baseball game.

Lou Lou Height: 160 cm Alias: Sweet Tooth

Lou Lou is so addicted to sugar that she never leaves home without it. She loves to bake sweet things and has an entire pantry full of sugar bins. She claims to have been baking her famous chocolate chunk cookies the morning of the crime (although not a morsel of cookie or chocolate chunk was left when the police arrived.) Lou Lou rarely wears shoes, which often causes her to slip and break things, especially her collection of ceramic pigs. Evidence:

• Fingerprints: Sticky, 'swirl' fingerprints were lifted from the aquarium and piggy bank. 
• Footprints: The painted footprints were measured and were for 26 cm feet. 
• Teeth: The chunk of chocolate candy was collected for examination. It appeared there were teeth imprints.
• White Powder: The white powdery substance by the piggy bank was carefully placed in a plastic bag and taken to the forensic chemist for identification . It had very small grains and when mixed with Iodine it reacted making the colour brown. It did not have a smell.

Name: Dave

                        

Fingerprints: No.

Mouth prints: Has a chipped tooth.
Shoe size: 16
White powder: None found.

Name	Evidence
Dan	Fingerprints: whorl Mouthprints: beaver teeth/gap in middle Shoe size: 11.7 White powder:baking soda
Peg	Fingerprints: loop Mouthprints: chipped teeth Shoe size: 10.1 White powder:salt
Jake	Fingerprints: whorl Mouthprints: no front teeth Shoe size: 13.4 White powder:corn starch
Lou	Fingerprints:arch Mouthprints: normal teeth Shoe size: 10.6 White powder:sugar

Findings: ( what did you find. Summarise what you have written in the table above)

Suspects:

Fingerprints: loop - peg the leg
Mouth prints: beaver teeth because of gap - dan the man
Shoe size: 10.6 - lou lou
White powder: baking soda - dan the man

2 from dan the man - mouth prints and white powder

1 from lou lou - shoe size

1 from peg the leg - finger prints

Verdict: ( who is the burglar and why)

Conclusion: This is the second experiment that we have done today. This experiment was really interesting to find clues and use our knowledge on how to solve a mystery. I think that there are two suspects for this crime.

Why?

Lou lou

Because lou lou wrote the letter, lou lou's blood match's the finding and lou lou's foot size is 10.6 when it is meant to be 10 and a half which is really close. Also because there was a chunky chocolate bar on the ground with a gap in the middle. The gap in the middle doesn't match lou lou's. It says also that she doesn't leave home without something sweet which could be the choclate bar. Also the blood match's Lou lous blood but not Dan the man. 

Dan the man

Becasue his mouth print and white powder match's what we found because the powder bubble's and dissovles in water. He also has a gap in the middle which match's the chocolate mark. It also says that his wife reports that her giant chocolate kisses continually disappear which I think gives something away but the blood doesn't match.
