Ali drilled equal sized holes into each in the base of 3 containers, A B C and plugged each hole with same amount plasticine. He then filled each container with water and hung them on the beam. On the left side of the beam, A and B was filled with 200ml of water each and is the size of the container of each is half compared to C. C is placed at the right side and had 400ml of water and is twice as big as container A and B.
Which of the following would be likely observed when plasticine at the base was removed at the same time before all the water was drained off?
1)Container C titled downwards
2)A and B titled downwards
3) A and B moved up first and then down
4) 3 Containers remained in balance

Actually, I knew how to do a debate. In Mr Khan's class last year, we had plenty of debates. Most of them is about general knowledge. A few examples are ' Are girls smarter than boys?' and 'Should pets be put to sleep?'. As the debate started, I answered the first question and when the debate goes on, I stopped answering as Mrs Chien said I answer too many and my teammates did not answer. But this debate is quite special because last year, there were only 2 teams and we were arguing among the speakers and what they said. This debate was all about the Hatchet book and the comments on this blog. Also, there were 8 teams participating. I love debates as I like to talk alot. And of course, I would like more debate about some other stuff. Maybe we can debate about science like what I did in the scienceispire blog or many others. Seriously, this debate had allowed me to learn more in english and literature and survival stuff. There were many 'tricks' like snapped open and hammered open, perfect home and the tears thingy. Using these small little words, we know alot about the situation that are happening. So compositions need not be like 100 words that are perfect. But we must use more to score for vocabulary but we cannot overdo it as it is not sincere anymore.More debates please!!!!

If I were to spend 1 month in the desert, I would bring my handphone. Well, if I am in danger, at least I can call the police or my family to save me. Also it provides very little light but a handphone only can last for like 10 hours so I would try to bring as many newly recharged handphone batteries in order to last enough for 1month and also if I am bored, I can play games, take a picture with my camel and etc but that will waste a lot of battery.

Secondly, I would bring a torchlight (one of the most important thing if you are going for a camp trip). When it is dark, it will be very frightening because it is in the desert. And when night comes, it is going to be very dark with no light so we need a lot of batteries to be sufficent enough for 1 month.

I would bring my precious water and food. Because when there is not food, you will die over there. And it's not worth to die because of a camping trip so it's best to bring tidbits and bottles of water as they are light enough to carry.

I would bring my suntan lotion and daily necessties because the desert is really really hot and I do not want to be black in colour when I go back home, looking like a black -american as I'm a Singaporean. So that's a must.

Lastly, I would bring my laptop and not a sleeping bag because i like sleeping in sandy places. I remember in a soccer game, I was like lying down in the mud and I do not feel disgusted. So I think my body is able to adapt to dirt or being dirty. I can play my laptop and chat with my family and friends even though I am in the desert. Wait ! I must also bring 20 laptop batteries and a broadband because int he desert, there is no internet connection and it is impossible to chat with my friends and family.

Reflection on Hatchet Debate

Within 1 hour, 39 pupils spoke out and shared some of their thoughts on a given topic and in so doing allowed others to have insight of their own beliefs and values - think of the 'Perfect Home' discussion.

I would like to applaud the 39 individuals for bringing such a professional quality to the debate - all contributed to its success and the 'energy' that resulted from this concerted effort will be converted into greater motivation for 6 Grace.

Please take time to reflect and share your thoughts on the following:

How did this debate affect my perceptions of myself?
In what ways did the debate fit my learning style?
Has it influenced the way I perceive English and Literature?
What did the debate show us about the 'tricks' authors use to captivate the heart and mind of the reader?

I had such pleasure hosting the debate and I felt the true magic of 6 Grace.

Please post your thoughts. Thank you.
