Science Definitions

Definitions:

1. Anemometer:

An instrument for measuring the speed of the wind or any current of gas.

2. Beaufort wind scale:

The Beaufort scale is a measuring scale that relates wind speed to observe conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale.

3. Typhoon:

The typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone that develops between 180°and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere. This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, and is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world's annual tropical cyclones. 

4. Monsoon:

Its a seasonal changes 

5. What is it when the weather is really like and turns to hail?:

When it turns Fast it is called a hailstorm were big hail stones fall from the sky

Poem

Our teacher gave us twenty - Five Words "Use them to make a poem" he said these were the words he gave us.

Light, Ice, Run, Fly, Float, White, Mountain, Witch, Feather, Blue, Fast, Past, Snow, Fall, Puddles, Bright, River, Sunshine, Burn, Crusty, Stars, Water, Sky, Black, Beautiful,

This was the poem I made:
Light ice fall
Black snow

2040

2040 documentary by Damon Gameau.

What are 2 things you learned?
1 Things I didn't know what could/might happen in 2040 and what damage can happen

2 Knowing that there could be more electricity and power. But which we should have more trees because they get cut down and we need vegetation.   

What I would like to see in 2040? 
I would like to see more less pollution and no climate change that can happen to the earth and some electricity that can help.

Title	Solar Energy
Aim	To find out which colour attracts the sun heat.
Hypothesis	I think that black attracts more heat because its a dark colour
Materials	White Paper White cup Black plastic Clear cup Tin Foil  Cup covered in tin foil  Water Heat lamp  Thermometer Timer
Steps	Get your materials set up near a power point  Place white paper black plastic and tin foil on the table/ground then plug in the heat lamp and set the cups up. Put the tin foil around one cup put some black plastic around the plastic cup. Pour water in the three cups wait 15 minutes then put the thermometer in one of the cups wait one minute and then take out after
Data/Findings	We are looking at an experiment what one is hotter the Styrofoam cup and plastic cup with black plastic wrapped around and Styrofoam cup with tin foil wrapped around.
Conclusion	In conclusion my findings in this experiment sate that black attracts more heat  Example: Black plastic to heat water Solar panels Black paint make houses hot

Penguin facts

Penguins

Penguin Facts

I found out that male penguins propose to there partner with a pebble. 

I found out there are 18 penguin species

I found out the Galapagos Penguin is the only penguin species that ventures north of the equator in the wild.

I found out penguins can stay underwater for 20 minutes  

I also found out that penguins Emperor penguin live for: 20 years Little penguin live for: 6 years

Science

Aim: To learn about the different emissions of climate change 

1. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.

2. Our landfills are growing and using up more healthy land.

3. Electricity can come from renewable sources ( water wind sun) and non-renewable sources like fossil fuels (oil and gas). 

4. Making clothes, car's, electronics, and processed foods creates a lot of pollution. 

5. The carbon dioxide in oil goes into the atmosphere when the car is running.  

6. Clearing the land for farms and farming practices also creates greenhouse gases.

Manakitanga Art Hurumanu

Who is in your group?

In my group is Annaleise, Keyana Kineka 

What are your roles?
My role is camera person, Kineka is drawing person, Annaleise is the directer, Keyana is directer with Annaleise

How does your story show manakitanga?
It shows how a girl on her first day gets bullied by 2 girls and she gets all lonely and a girl comes and helps her and they become friends 

Maths DLO

W.A.L.T Find fractions of a set using multiplication and diversion. 
My group had to figure out a bunch of questions using the multiplication and division strategy.

Now that I have completed fractions I can move on to the next strategy. 

PE Hurumanu,

Vertical jump

Students will stand with there side against the wall and both feet firmly planted on the ground
The will reach up as high as possible with their hand and we will record this as standing measure
Students will then jump as high as possible and touch the wall, this is the jump height
Then, jump height - standing measure = vertical distance

My measurements:

Standing Measure

Jump Height

Difference - Vertical Distance

1.8 1.9

2.0 2.1

0.2 0.3

Sit and reach 
Students will take of their shoes after they will sit down on the floor with their legs straight and 
against the box
Students will place one hand on top of the other, then they will slowly bend forward moving the slider along the box as far as possible, but without pushing it forward, and their distance will be recorded
  

Distance (cm)

My measurements

12cm 10cm

Sit ups

Students will lie on the floor with their knees bent and feet flat on the floor, their hands will be placed on their ears and they must be there for the whole test
An assistant can help hold the participants feet down
Students must perform sit ups, touching their elbows to their knees, they need to complete as many as possible in 30 seconds 

Number of sit ups

My Measurements

13 12

Grip Strength

Students will be given a set of hand grips
Using their dominant hand they have to squeeze the grips together as many times as possible in 30 seconds

Number of squeezes

My measurements

2 0

Beep test

A 20m distance will be measured in the gym 
Students will start behind cones at one end of the 20m, when they hear a beep over the speakers they must run to the other set of cones
They must make it to the other set of cones before the next beep goes off, once that beep goes off they need to run back to the other set of cones, again making it there before the beep
If students do not make it to a set of cones before the beep then they are out

CIP Meal Challenge

Last week there the two class's DS and MT went to paknsave we designed a menu and  my group were making a fruit kebabs there was pineapples, apples, kiwi fruit, banana and apple juice. When all the groups finished we all gathered and sorted out the tables to put the food on. After the groups went back to there tables and ate there food my groups food tasted delicious with all the pop flavours it was amazing.
