On the 6th of June a couple of weeks ago me and my homebase got to see Harold the Giraffe inside a truck (it wasn't a real one). While inside of the truck Harold taught us about what a good leader looks like and what suits our personality. There were four Groups the Lions, the Otters, the Beavers, and the Labradors.
The Lions were the ones who liked to be the Leader, The beavers were the ones who planned everything out, the Labradors liked silent time and don't work with anyone, and the Otters like to share their ideas right away and always has something to say.
I was a bit of an Otter and a bit of a Labrador because sometimes I like silence, to work by myself and I also was an Otter because I like to share my ideas before everyone and get really excited.
What do you think you would be? A lion, A Beaver, an Otter, or a Labrador. Tell me down in the comment section!

Read about my science project on Gradient, Velocity, and Potential Energy
Science Question:
How does the gradient of a ramp affect the speed and the distance travelled of a
marble?
marble?
Background research:
Everyone has been on a bike and when you go down a hill you go faster because
of the gradient of the slope. Gradient means the angle of the item, Velocity is the
time from when you drop something to the time it hits the ground that also ties in with
potential energy if you have a lot of time to drop, so if you have a ball land you drop
it from the top of a sky tower it will have a lot of potential energy so it can build up
speed. For example If a car is going 60 kilometers an hour and it turns it will lose the
potential energy because of the impact of the turn.

potential energy because of the impact of the turn.
Hypothesis:
The steeper the gradient the faster the speed of the marble will go.
Materials & Method
Materials:
- Wood
- Measuring tape
- Loctite
- Saw
- Drill
- Wire
- A Parent (Recommended)
- Screws
- Nails
- Stop watch
- Marble
Method:
- Place all the materials that are required above, all together on a wooden bench.
- Take a piece of wood and place it on the wooden bench letting 10 cm overhang the edge.
- Then grab the drill and a screw. Then drill the wood into the wooden bench so it doesn't move around.
- After you have done that ask an adult to cut the wood in what angle you want.
- Then unscrew the screw and make another ramp but at a different height or you could use the same ramp and adjust the height with books or more wood.
- Test the marble on each three of the ramps. Start the timer from when the marble is released at the top, time until it comes to a stop.
- Measure the distance travelled from the end of the ramp.
- Record both the distance travelled and the time taken in a table. Use this data to calculate the speed for each trial.
- Complete 10 trials for each ramp.
- Analyse the data
