Rules for playing Rugby

How to Play Rugby

LI: I am learning to write the rules for playing Rugby Union.

Rugby is popularly called "the game for animals played by gentlemen." The game is in two main forms, rugby union and rugby league, with their own ways to play. Rugby union is normally played in Europe especially England, while rugby league is popular in Australia and New Zealand.

Instructions

1. Assemble two teams of fifteen players each.

2. Start play with the defensive team kicking the ball to the offensive team.

3. Run with the ball until tackled. You may also pass or kick the ball to a team mate, but you cannot pass the ball forward.

4. Release or pass the ball if tackled. If released, the ball is open for anyone to take.

5. The game is only stopped on a rules violation, two opposing players grabbing the ball (known as a ruck or maul) or the ball going out of bounds.

6. Restart play with a scrum after a rules violation, such as a ball dropped forward or a forward pass, or a ruck or maul.

7. This is when the forwards on the team lock up in a huddle and push for the ball by kicking in backwards.

8. The ball is thrown into the scrum by someone on the team that did not commit the violation.

9. Restart play with a line-out if the ball went out of bounds, the forwards on each team line up facing each other.

10. The team that didn't knock the ball out throws it back in, and the players contest for possession.

11. A score is worth five points for a try, which is person touching the ball to the ground in the goal area.

12. A kick is then attempted through the goalposts for two extra points.

13. Score three points for a goal, by kicking the ball through the goalposts while play at a penalty.
Try playing the game. It is lot of fun.

Science Experiment

Experiment

Put one spoonful of sugar into one of the bottles use the plastic funnel to guide the crystals into the bottle. Add the sugar slowly so that it does not block the neck of the funnel.

Repeat step 1, placing each of the other solids (fine sand, instant coffee granules, plain flour) in its own bottle. Now half fill each bottle with water and screw on the cap. Shake each bottle ten times.

Look carefully at each bottle to see if you can still see solid particles. Decide which solids form a solution and which solids form a suspension.

Solutions and Suspensions

LI: I am learning to write an introduction to my Science Project.

Solutions and Suspensions

It is very important to know and understand the introduction to a particular topic to carry out the experiments successfully. My project is about “Solutions and Suspensions”

Introduction

Solutions

A liquid in which a solid substance has been dissolved.

Example: Sugar and Water

Suspensions

The particles in suspensions are larger than those found in solutions. Components of a suspension can be evenly distributed by a mechanical means, like by shaking the contents, but the components will settle out.

Example: Oil and Water
