<span class="s1" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Teacher Comment:** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A beautifully presented Science Fair Board T.J, well done. I am glad you included samples of the carpet before and after using the Stain Remover. Great recording of your observations during your experiment. A good method that is fairly accurate, however you needed to carry out the experiment a few more times to ensure your results were completely accurate. You have carried out some excellent research into what goes into carpet stain removers to actually remove the stain, well done. Did you compare the different amounts of this in each of your products to explain why you achieved your results? This would have been helpful also.

<span class="s1" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Student Comment:** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think that I did an alright job on my Science Fair. Next time I will carry out my experiments more and state how much Alphatic Hydrocarbon is in the products that i used.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//Reflection//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//This week is National Science Week so today we went into the Science Lab and did some activities. There was 25 different// //activities there. My favourite// //activity was the when we put our hands into and hot watered bowl and a cold watered bucket. It was interesting using the cups as a telephone because you could actually here them. I disliked the ballon activity cause it didn't work. It was fun in the science lab doing all that stuff.//

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Reflection

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Yesterday we went into the science lab to conduct some experiments. We had 5 substances that we needed to identify. To identify them we had to do some experiments. First we had to do our hypothesis. Our group did these for our hypothesis. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">A. Cornflour <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">B. Salt <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">C. Cream Of Tarter <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">D. Icing Sugar <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">E. Baking Powder <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">After that Miss Crone gave us some clues to help us find the real answers. To find out which one was which we put B. into water and saw how fast it dissolved the we all agreed that it was salt. We did the rest of the experiments and our final results were the same as our hypothesis. We got 3/5. I enjoyed that it was fun.

HYPOTHESIS I think my finger prints are loop. I think this because it has the loop type of shape.

EQUIPMENT Pencil, paper, sticky tape

METHOD <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿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 take 10 prints <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">2. Press one of your fingertips 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.) <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3. Tape the print to the correct location on the fingertip form. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">4. Using the magnifying glass compare your prints to the pictures above and try to label them as either arches, loops or whorls. <span style="color: #404040; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Conclusion: My Thumb, Index and Middle finger and Loop. My Ring and Little finger are whorl.
