What is Pumice?

How does it form from Volcanoes?

What are its properties?

How is it like Hockey Pockey?

How did we make it, and get it foamy?

1. A very light and porous volcanic rock formed when a gas-rich froth of glassy lava solidifies rapidly.

2. The vesicles are actually gas bubbles that were trapped in the rock during the rapid cooling of a gas-rich frothy magma. The material cools so quickly that atoms in the melt are not able to arrange themselves into a crystalline structure. Thus,pumice is an amorphous volcanic glass known as a "mineraloid."

3. 

1. Composition. Pumice has a chemical composition similar to that of obsidian, or volcanic glass. ...

2. Density. Pumice is very lightweight. ...

3. Buoyancy. Pumice stones are so lightweight they will usually float on water for a time, before eventually sinking 

once becoming waterlogged. ...

4. Abrasivity. ...

5. Color.

4. It looks like Hockey Pockey because, when it gets hard, it looks like it, and when it is cooking and in its liquid form it looks different.

5. We made it foam by using Baking soda.

If you are wondering how we made Hockey Pockey, Well we used:

*Sugar.

*Golden Syrup.

*Baking soda.

*Spoon to stir.

Gymnastics

Today in gymnastics my friends and I were taking turns on the mini tramp. What we were trying to learn was landing a front flip/sum Assault, at first it was difficult for us as a team to learn one thing, but in the end we pulled through.

should zoos be shutdown...

All zoos should be shut down and release animals back to there natural habitat.

Animals should be able to live harmless from humans and predators.

I think they shouldn't shut down zoos because if they didn't have zoos all the animals would start to get extinct and we would not be able to see anymore of our favourite animals anymore. If zoos were to get shut down we would be killing our animals, and before you know it all animals will be wiped from the face of the earth making our earth boring. Releasing animals back into there natural habitat would be suicide for animals.

Zoos help keep animals safe and immunised so that they can reproduce more species and make sure they don't have/carry any diseases, so that animals can get released back into there natural habitat.
Zoos help keep soon to be extinct animals alive so that they can live longer instead of dying. Zoos help separate other animals from there predators, which makes other animals feel more safer than out in the wild.

It is much easier for animals to live in zoos rather than live out in the wild. My reasons are because animals have to gather there own food meaning elder animals leave there younger animals behind while they are out hunting, but in zoos they have people get them food, and have people who play with them and keep them company so they don't feel lonely.
