SLJ Ocean Science – Kick Start
Today I tried the ocean signs kick start activity. It was about why the ocean is blue. I learned the ocean is blue because of the way the light hits it and breaks down the colors blue is the last color to be broken down. You can learn more about this in my step it up ocean science activity.
I had lots of fun doing this experiment with water and a few drops of milk and a torch. I really love science and doing experiments.

For fold and Frame kick start activity I was to make some origami sea creatures. I managed to make 2 fish but then I needed help from my family to do the crab and the turtle. The turtle was the hardest one it took us a lot of attempts. No one in my family is very good at origami we all need to practice.
Here is the fish, crab and turtle and last weeks fish we made
