Science - Periodic Table Story
The Waikikamukau kid mounted his trusty house, old gold.
He strapped his shooting Iron to his side and headed out from the bright Neon lights.
He was determined to rob the stage of it’s precious Uranium load. He inhaled a deep
breath of Oxygen and coughed on the Sulphur from the nearby factories. It was really hot, the Mercury was rising. He took a drink of Water and spat as he tasted the Chlorine.

He rode north, his bones aching from Calcium deposits built up from the years of riding the Zinc trail. Overhead he saw a Helium balloon in the sky. Soon he spotted the stagecoach. It was guarded by an old sheriff with a Tin badge. ‘Stop’, the kid yelled, ‘or i’ll fill you full of Lead.’ The sheriff went for his gun but was too slow. Kid’s gun blazed like flaming Magnesium and the Copper fell to the ground. Anyone who drew on the kid should have known his life wasn’t worth a plugged Nickel. A pretty Platinum blonde on the stage screamed as the Kid pulled out some Nitrogen compounds to blow the strongbox.
Suddenly a shot rang out. ‘Hi ho Silver’. A masked man on a white horse raced across the Silicon sand like Sodium skittering on water. ‘ There’s a Radon,’ he cried. The Kid was captured and was put behind Cobalt Steel bars.

Electrical Invention
I worked with Zara and Hayley, we made a cardboard house and made a lighting system.
We started by making the house out of cardboard boxes and making walls and a 2nd floor for it.
Then we started experimenting with the wires trying to find the best way to fit the system in the different rooms. After we made the circuit we taped it to the house and hooked up the switches.
A positive thing about making our invention was we got it done quickly and it worked amazingly because we all worked hard.
A minus thing about making our invention was we didn't really work as a team and we sort of did our own thing because there weren't very many jobs.
A interesting thing about out invention was we had to try different ways of getting the system to work because it wouldn't fit inside the house.
