This term in science we have been learning about metallurgy. We have learnt heaps of new metals and alloys. I have enjoyed doing lots of experiments with Matua Rob and Whaea Katie. My favourite experiment was when we help a piece of magnesium over the Bunsen burner and it made a really bright light. I have learned lots of new words, like malleable, which means when a metal can be shaped into anything, and lustrous, which means its shiny and reflective, also ductile which means it can be drawn out/stretched into things like wires, and the last one conductive, which means it can conduct electricity.
I have enjoyed this subject a lot this term and look forward to moving onto the next subject.
