Gravity Aerodynamics

FLIGHT

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics. 

• In your groups of 3, you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behaviour.
• In groups of 3, you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behaviour. 

Definition:  

Aerodynamics is a way that objects fly and the way they move through the air.

4 forces of flight:

1. lift
2. drag 
3. thrust 
4. gravity

Paper Plane:

Material:

1. paper
2. ruler

Steps:

1. Make the plane.
2. Fly it.
3. wait until you see how far it goes.  

: We found out that the one with the paper clip was the one that went the longest and the first plane went the closest to the start. And finally Ailerons plane did ok but not as good.

Plane Type	Distance	Behaviour
Normal	2.3	curves to the left side
Ailerons	4.0	went up and back down
Paper clip	5.0	curves to the right side

Conclusion: 

What I've learnt:
I learn about how far the paper plane fly, I didn't know that it was very far when I  throw it. It was a great experience doing this learning Hurumanu science experiment. I also learn how it flew in the air. The normal plane flew 2.3 metres and it carved to the side. The plane with The ailerons flew 4.0 metres and it flew straight. The last plane with the paperclip flew 5 metres and curved to the right. 

Hurumanu - Drama

• How do you feel today? Describe - share some vocabulary words for emotions.

I feel kind of not good because I didn't take a film with my friend because I was in ESOL  with our  Filipina  ESOL teacher.

2. Explain how you used your voice to show emotion in the puppet talk.

I can't Explain what I have done in the puppet because we have ESOL period 4 but I think that even I wasn't there my group can do it.

3. share a video of your puppet talk.

Sorry, I can't share the video because our teacher did 'not yet share it with us but I can share some of the emotion words.

When you ask you, friend,  how you feel today. Then if they say "Yeh im good" But you can see to his or her face that he is felling not good. You can ask me what happened and make his problem fixed. You can tell the teacher or to the stuff in school. If you have or problem or someone bully you. You need to ask the teacher or to your parent that why there are bullying you.

4. Make a positive comment on someone else's blog.

Hurumanu - Mars

Mars

How to get to Mars

Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts 
2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover
3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts: 

What are the 5 parts for? 
Link: Rovers 5 parts

Fill in the table below.

Name:	Purpose:
Wheels	The Mars 2020 rover has six wheels, each with its own individual motor. The two front and two rear wheels also have individual steering motors. This steering capability allows the vehicle to turn in place, a full 360 degrees. The four-wheel steering also allows the rover to swerve and curve, making arcing turns.
Solar Panel	The Mars 2020 rover requires electrical power to operate. Without power, the rover cannot move, use its science instruments, or communicate with Earth. Mars 2020 carries a radioisotope power system. This power system produces a dependable flow of electricity using the heat of plutonium's radioactive decay as its "fuel." The power source is called a "Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator" or MMRTG for short. The MMRTG converts heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium into electricity. This power system charges the rover's two primary batteries. The heat from the MMRTG is also used to keep the rover's tools and systems at their correct operating temperatures.
Laser	Mars 2020's 7-foot-long robotic arm can move a lot like yours. It has a shoulder, elbow and wrist "joints" for maximum flexibility. The armlets the rover work as a human geologist would: by holding and using science tools with its "hand" or turret. The rover's own "hand tools" extract cores from rocks, take microscopic images and analyzes the elemental composition and mineral makeup of Martian rocks and soil.
Camera	The rover has several cameras focused on engineering and science tasks. Some help us land on Mars, while others serve as our “eyes” on the surface to drive around. We use others to do scientific observations and aid in the collection of samples. There are a total of 23 cameras Engineering cameras 9 Science cameras 7 Entry, descent and landing cameras 7
Shovel, rock pick, drill	The rover body is called the warm electronics box, or "WEB" for short. As a car body, the rover body is a strong, outer layer that protects the rover's computer and electronics (which are basically the equivalent of the rover's brains and heart). The rover body thus keeps the rover's vital organs protected and temperature-controlled. The warm electronics box is closed on the top by a piece called the Rover Equipment Deck. The Rover Equipment Deck makes the rover like a convertible car, allowing a place for the rover mast and cameras to sit out in the Martian air, taking pictures with a clear view of the terrain as the rover travels.

2. In groups of 3, you will Design, Draw and Make a Mars Rover out of Lego Technics.
Materials:

1. Lego Technics
2. A4 paper
3. Pencil
4. Ruler
5. Eraser

The drawing and model must have:

• 6 wheels
• 1 camera
• 1 tool at the front that includes a shovel, pick and drill.
• 1 solar panel
• 1 laser that points at the ground

 ( Take a photo and upload  your Mars rover onto your blog.)

3. Mars Facts
Link: Facts

You will need to find out the following:

Fact	Earth	Mars
Picture of planet
Length of 1 year	365 days	687 days
Length of 1 day	24 hours	1d 0h 37m
Distance from the sun	149.6 million km	227. 9 million km
Distance from Earth.	149.6 million km	227. 9 million km
Gravity:	9.807 m/s2	3.711 m/s2
Colour:	Blue	Golden, brown, tan and greenish

Atmosphere	78%nitrogen 21% oxygen	96% of carbon dioxide     2% argon
Surface	510.1 million km	17.2 million square miles
Moons and names	Moon	Phobos Deimus

Conclusion: Write about what you have learnt.

Mars has 687 days length of the year, the Earth has 364 days in 1 year. I learn that Mars has many days than the Earth. I also learn about body parts of the robot rover there is a lot of camera on the robot rover. I learn about its take too long to take the robot cover to the mars because they really need to plan and think how far the rocket ship will go far away.  They really need to make it, if not they waste a lot of money, that's why they really need to think about it and plan it.

What is Mental Health

What is Mental Health?

Mental health is that emotion that what happens, like someone bullying you that you can talk to your teacher or talk to your family that you trust to.

• Angry -  When someone is annoying me
• Happy - Playing with my friend and enjoying my life.
• Stressed -  I sit off somewhere when I was the only one and thinking what to say to the teacher about what I've done wrong.

How do I deal with my emotions?

I just need to talk with my family and my teacher about what happening and emotions

Who is the best person to talk when

• I am at  Home? My Mother and my Father because they are my family, I can talk with them because they are my family.
• I am at Schoo?  I think I can talk to my teacher because it been in school with my teacher for more than 1 year. I think that I can share my emotion with my teacher.   Why

Hurumanu - Crazy Crystals

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Crystal video

Definition of the solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water)

Findings

Describe your crystals in the table below.

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	Cube	Small	Medium hard
Sugar
Salt

What crystals worked out best and why?:

Conclusion:

________________________________________________________________________

After watching the videos as a class, explain how the following crystals are formed:

Type	Explanation
Salt	Salt is the main mineral in seawater, making up three-quarters of the 3.5  of dissolved minerals in seawater. Salt also occurs naturally in mineral deposits, where it is known as rock salt. Because New Zealand has no rock salt deposits.
Sugar	Sugar is made from sugarcane, They have a machine and then they put sugar on it. They take all of the sugar out from the sugar. That's how raw sugar is made. After the put the raw sugar and make them into white sugar.
Snowflakes	Snowflakes begin to form when an extremely cold water droplet freezes onto a pollen or dust particle in the sky. This creates an ice crystal. As ice crystal falls to the water  vapour freezes onto the primary crystal, building new crystal  the six arms of the snowflake

Conclusion:

I learn about this science experiment is that when  I making this experiment I need to be careful because if I got mistake the Crazy Crystals not gonna work. I also learn that there are three different Crystals type, there are borax crystal, sugar crystal and the third one is the salt crystal.
