**Teacher Comment:** A beautifully presented science fair Chontelle, well done. Excellent hypothesis including why you think it will happen. A fantastic set of results which are well displayed in tables and with photos. You don't have a clearly stated conclusion though you have mixed it in with your results and your explanation needed to go into your conclusion. You have carried out some excellent research into why the food does grow mould, well done. Overall an excellent effort Chontelle.

**Student Comment:** I think that I did really well with my science fair since it was my first time doing a science fair. I think I set my board out really nicely and the colours that I used were good. I I was to do this science experiment again I would properly have maybe carried it out for a bit longer. . Overall I think that my science fair board was really good, the way I set it out. :)

 * Today we went into the Science lab and did a thing called 25 experiments when we went and did the experiments that were set up for us. My favourite one was the one where I had to put my left hand in warm water and my right hand in cold water. Then after 30 seconds I had to take them out really quickly and put them into a bowl in the middle that had normal room temperature water. Then the hand that was in the warm water felt hot in the normal water and the hand that was in the cold water felt cold in the warm water.**

**__WALT - Identify and group fingerprints into 3 main categories : arch, loop and whorl.__**

AIM - To identify your own fingerprints out of an arch, loop and whorl.

HYPOTHESIS I think my finger prints are mostly loops, I think this because they all look like loops.

EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape

METHOD:

1: Rub the side of a pencil lead back and forth on a sheet of paper to build up the black area large enough to tae 10 prints. 2: Press one of your fingers firmly onto the black. Place the sticky side of a piece of tape over your fingertip. (You may need a friend to help you with this.) 3: tape the print to the correct location on the fingertip form. 4: Using the magnifying glass compare your print to the pictures above and try to label them as either arches, loops or whorls.

This is a photo of my results:



Conclusion: When I checked my fingerprints with a magnifying glass they were all loops. None of them were arches or whorls. My hypothesis was right.
