Testing Omaru Creek for - Turbidity


Testing Omaru Creek for - Turbidity

I am going to find out:
About Turbidity at omaru creek

I am going to test this by:
We are going to test how we can see very clearly and easily throw our 4 jar of the sea water,the culvert, the tap, and last but not least the bridge with our 4 sample.

Resources and equipment:
1. the sea
2. the culvert
3. the bridge
4. the tap
5. glass jars
6. buckets
7. string

I predict that:
Do you know what turbidity means? It means that you can see throw any thing cloudy or sometimes clearly. When room 17s literacy group went to omaru creek to get our 4 sample miss Garden teached us all about turbidity. We were seeing if we can see clearly at the words on our papers that were sized 9,12,14,and 24.

I think this because:
We are using Scientific report template so we can learn all about turbidity.
click on this like to see what turbidity means.

Results of my tests

Sea Water
24,14 I think that because they are really big and clearly to see of the sea water.
Tap water
14 I only saw 14 because it looked so easy to look at instead of 24
Omaru Creek water by culvert
I couldn’t see any number at all.
Omaru Creek water by bridge
I couldn’t see any number at all. the same as the culvert.


My conclusion (what I found out):

I found out that turbidity is not a great and really cool word.

Why I think this is:
Miss Garden my literacy teacher said.

Omaru creek testing colours


Testing Omaru Creek for - Colour

I am going to find out:
What colour the water is.

I am going to test this by:
Comparing different water samples and describing the colour.

Resources and equipment:
4 water samples from1. the culvert

2. the sea
3. the tap
4.the bidge
5. glass jars.

I predict that:
the water beside the culvert is really brown and a dark colour too.
The sea water just glows with the sun.
the tap water is just clear and a little white.
The bridge colour is the same as the culvert.

I think this because:
It’s because people treat it like a rubbish bin and sometimes like a toilet.

Results of my tests

Sea Water
Clean and clear
Tap water
nice and fresh
Omaru Creek water by culvert
brown and green water
Omaru Creek water by bridge
has a lot of dirt


My conclusion (what I found out):
The seawater is really nice and clear.
The water beside the bridge is kind of green but it still doesn’t mean that it is drity.
the culvert water is really dirty.
the tap water is the same as the sea water

Why I think this is:
The seawater is so clean and clear because there are mango’s that makes the seawater nice and fresh like the tap water. The water beside the bridge is so green because the catfish or sometimes the sun makes it green. The culvert water is so dirty because people treat it like a rubbish bin.

Mangere Pools


During thursday afternoon the whole of year 5 and 6 went to mangere pools because we were on camp. It was amazing and my first time jumping in a deep pool but I could swim. First thing we did was just swimming competitions.It was awesome because I was in the finals.

Mangere pools are fantastic and great so you should go. I love mangere pools because it is the best pool and it is my second best pool in the whole wide world.

The Test


On Tuesday morning I was shocked because Miss.Garden said,” Be prepared because we are going to do our first reading and writing test”. I wasn’t ready but I stepped up and I gave it my best shot. It was really nerve racking .

When I checked and edited my work  I felt really proud and kind of brainy because I concentrated and did the test even if I wasn’t ready and prepared.
The test felt really easy and I was on to it.
