Our world

1. The blue water was very clear.
2. The blue water is very clear as a clear dark sky.
3. The blue water is very clear reflecting the sunshine.
4. The blue water is very clear reflecting the sunshine, there is a secret cave down the water.
5. The blue water is very clear, it was a very creepy and dangerous secret cave.

The blue water is very clear, there is a big whole cave in the sea and it very dangerous to go in the cave.

Maths Reflection

Hi guys,  Im doing the maths task that my teacher give it to us, when im doing this maths task, I need to be carefully my answer because if u got wrong it's not good. I always think about what the answer, it not good that you are being in a hurry because u just trying to guess the answer.  I try to solve the answer in my owned self, I just need a paper and pencil or pen to try to solve it.  I am the first one who finished it first, my group almost finnsihe there maths task, we are the same task. After finishing our math task, the teacher said that we need to blog and share what u have learned. I learned about like Time and Height, It easy to answer it if u solve it on paper.

Conclusion





Aim: To make a presentation that investigates different renewable energy's.

Section 1: Title Page

Make a title page that incorporates all renewable energy 's Hydro, Solar, Wind and Wave.

Section 2: Definitions

Define and provide a picture of each energy type.

1. Hydro Energy
2. Solar Energy
3. Wind Energy 
4. Wave Energy

Section 3; Investigate each of the 4 Energy types.
( Hydro ,Solar ,Wind ,Wave ) 

1. Type:
2. Is it used in NZ?
3. Other Countries that use it?
4. How is it used to generate electricity?
5. Draw and label a diagram of the main parts of the electricity generator? This can be done on paper and uploaded or on a drawing program on your device. I do not want any Internet images or pictures. They must be hand-drawn using a ruler and labelled.

Section 4: Renewable Energy in the future.

List 10 ways that renewable energy will be used in the future to replace our current activities.

Hurumanu-Wind Power

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Definitions:

1.  Anemometer: An instrument for measuring the speed of the wind
2. Beaufort wind scale: The Beaufort scale is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land.

MATERIALS

1. Sellotape
2. Pencil
3. Pin
4. 2x Sticks
5.        4x Cups     
6. 1x Sticky note  

STEPS

1.    Sellotape the sticks to the cups.
2.   Sellotape the sticks together to make a cross.
3.   Pin the cross to the rubber on the pencil.

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind Manager

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.

• You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	20
2.	Old J Block site	15
3.	Grass hill in quad	10
4.	Tennis Court gate	3

• USING A4 PAPER DRAW YOUR RESULTS ON A GRAPH.
• TAKE A PICTURE OF THE GRAPH AND UPLOAD IT TO YOUR BLOG

WHICH IS THE WINDEST AREA AND WHY?

WHICH IS THE CALMEST AREA AND WHY?

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE ON LAND TO BUILD A WINDMILL?

CONCLUSION:

On the field, the Anemometer spun 80 spins per minute. It had a wind speed of 13-20 kph. This speed is 3 on the Beaufort Scale. (Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag.)

On the old J Block site, the Anemometer spun 60 spins per minute. It had a wind speed of 13-20 kph. This speed is 3 on the Beaufort Scale.

On the Grass Hill in the squad, the Anemometer spun 40 spins per minute. It had a wind speed of 2-5 kph. This speed is 1 on the Beaufort Scale. (Shown by the direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes.)

On the Tennis Court gate, the Anemometer spun 12 spins per minute. It had a wind speed of 2-5 kph. This speed is 1 on the Beaufort Scale.

According to the data, the most spins on the Anemometer is on the field, with 80 spins per minute and it had a wind speed of 13-20 kph. The least spins on the Anemometer was by the Tennis Court gate, it spun only 12 spins per minute. It had a wind speed of 2-5 kph.

Blogging about Stop Motion Animator

This term we have been doing art about Manaakitaga. Also this week we have been filming our movie with our amazing beautiful looking charcters. We used clay and sticks to make our characters and other props. We made a Dog, Bear and a person called Elvis. 

We use my friend Chromebook to film, We worked as a team and step by step because it stops motion animator.  It kind of easy to film by 1 person or 2 but more than 2 it very hard because it's squished in the place.   Our teacher said that 2 person doing the filming and the other three-person doing blogging and reading plus.

Here is our Example but is not yet finished 

Hurumanu - Decomposing and Recycling

Hello, We are doing an amazing experiment. Im is so excited what it looks like. We are working with 3-4 groups to do this experiment.


Aim: To learn about the rate that different materials decompose. 

Hypothesis: I think that......  

Then  I think that banana going to break down first because it's part of the fruit and it easy to eat.

Materials:

1. Paper
2.  Banana
3. Bread
4.   Styrofoam
5.   4x Test Tube
6.   Test Tube Blocker
7.   Test Tube rack
8.  water

Steps:

1.   Get the four-Test Tube.
2.  Put each material in each cube.
3.  Like Banana, Paper, Bread  and Stylophone
4.  Put water in the bread only inside the Test Tube.
5.  We need to wait 5 weeks to see the result.
6.

Test Tube

Findings:

TODAY	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	Yellow/Brown		Taking half of the tube
Paper	Brown		Almost Full of paper in the  tube
Styrofoam cup	White		Taking half of the tube
Bread	White/brown		Taking Half of the tube

•   The Banana is yellow and taking half of the tube.
• The paper is brown and almost full in the tube.
• The Styrofoam cup is white and taking half of the tube.
• The Bread is white/brown and Taking half of the tube.

3 weeks	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	brown and black and green	Mould and returning from the top	Half of the banana move up and the half soften down.
Paper	Brown	No change	Paper no change it's just same
Styrofoam cup	White	No change	Styrofoam cup no change
Bread	White and brown	soften down	There is a tiny bit part of the bread is on the top and the rest part of the bread is in down.

•   The banana is yellow and half of the banana move up and the half soften down.
• The paper is brown and paper no change.  
• The styrofoam is white and no change.
• The bread is white and brown. There is a tiny bit of the bread is on the top and the rest part of the bread is in down.

5 weeks	Colour	Change	Observations
Banana	Yellow and green	The banana was melted like water	The banana was
Paper	Brown	No change	No Changes
Styrofoam cup	White	No change	No Changes
Bread	Yellow and brown	The bread was softened down	The bread was softened down  and it looks like melted

  

•   The Banana is yellow and green and the banana was melted like water
•    The paper is brown and No changes
•     The Styrofoam is white and no changes
•    The bread is yellow and brown and the bread was softened down and it looks like melted.

Conclusion:

 In each test tube, there was something inside,
