New Zealand Artist

 

This term in music we have been researching about music in New Zealand and New Zealander artists here is my presentation of what I have found out.

Wind Racer

 Aim: To make a wind-racer with materials to go the longest distance.

Method: Use newspaper as a sail then strengthen it with cardboard, then we used skewers to strengthen the newspaper so it dint bend around so it stayed straight and wind hit it evenly.

Results: 

What forces were acting on it? Gravity - Because it dint fly into space. Push - As the air from the leaf blower pushed the wind racer forwards. Friction - Friction slowed it down as it dint slide forever. Support - As the wind racer didn't fall through the earth.

Why did it slow down? Because when it goes it hits a wind going towards it and slowing it down after the leaf blower range could not reach the wind racer

Conclusion:. 

Did it work: Yes it did work my team's wind racer went  the longest distance.

What would you do differently? Another of newspaper to make it stronger and go for longer.

3 Tools To Resilience

Model Atom

Aim - To make a mdoel atom Method - 1. Chose an atom to make (between hydregeon and neon) 2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has 3. Asign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead 4. Get a ball of blue tac and stick teh protons and neutrons to this to make your neucles 5. Cut out the electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid 6. Connect the necules and electron shells with a piece of string 7. Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created Results -

Discussions - Atomic and mass number - Atomic = 6 Mass = 12 Number of preotons, electrons and neutrons = 8 Electron arrangement 2-6 2 Interesting facts 1. Carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. 2. Atomic Weight (average mass of the atom): 12.0107 Conclusion - Did it work? Yes it did Would you do anything different? No I dont think so

The Digestive System

My Discovery Task

In health this term we have been working on 5 big questions, we had to choose our 5 questions, answer our 5 questions, find 3 strategies to help the problems, present our work. It was challenging when we were trying to find out our 5 big question answers. I coped with the challenge by trying harder and trying to do it an easier way to understand it. I worked well by myself which helped me not get distracted. Next time I will concentrate so I can get the work done faster. I am really proud of how much work I have done. Link to quiz KAHOOT

Sphero Project

In Digital Techonlig this term we have been making a project to be used with Spheros this has includded coding and being creative to make the project. 1. My project my teammate and i chose was to make a vehicle that the sphero drives, I was inspired to do this by a old student that had made something similar before so i was inspired to do this. 2. How I done it - I rolled up a4 pieces of paer to make a strong chassis ghen cut them to size and used hot glue to put it togethor. 3. My personal report on this project is not the best as I was very distracted and didnt to my work I was supposed to do.
