IDrive

Today I did iDrive with Ayisha. We did a new thing which was building. It was hard to begin with as we couldn't work out how to use the saw properly but it got easier as we went on. We started off by finding our materials like wood, nails and a hammer. Now for the fun stuff. We got hold of a saw and started with that then we sanded some wood. Once we had finished with the saw we got two bits of wood - one bigger and glued them together. Then we had to bang two nails into the two pieces of wood. Then we needed to get two other nails and bang them into the pieces of wood that we had just glued. Next we went inside to draw on the little bits of wood that were hanging. I had CH and Ayisha  had EESE then that spells cheese then we decorated them. I problem solved when we were trying to put the pieces of wood together with nails but it did not work so we hot glued it. The Learning Power I used the most today was Resilience - 'I can't do it yet'. We did do it!

What makes the ocean blue when water is clear?

Image result for clear water in a cupThe reason why the ocean looks blue  yet water is clear. When light strikes water such as sun light the water filters the light so that the red and other colours like green ,orange and yellow is absorbed. This only leaves the blue light that reflected off the water.
