Kia ora! In honour of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, Maori Language Week everyone from my class has made a DLO (Digital Learning Object) teaching our viewers new phrases and words. At the end of my slide, I have attached a waiata which explains to cherish Te Reo.
Kua mahia e koe tetahi mea hei whakanui i te wiki o te reo māori?
Hi! For hurumanu, we've been apart of PE & Maths (hurumanu 5) for over a term now. My class works with 2 other classes, Co and Wh.
Throughout the past 12 weeks, we've worked on multiple different things. One of the main thing's we have focused on is our pulse and heart rate. At the beginning of the 12 weeks, we did the beep test. After that, we did fitness circuits, running laps of the basketball court to see what our heart rate would be at the end. We also looked into our resting heart rate and our heart rate while we were doing activities. We did start the hurumanu off with doing a singular beep test but we have been practising by doing team beep tests but as our hurumanu is finally coming to an end we'll be doing another singular beep test today see how much we've improved.
On the other hand, we also worked on our math. Since our PE hurumanu also ties in with math we were learning about looking at the area of something. Whether it's the netball court or the basketball court. We got big measuring tapes, looked at the width and the length to see what the area is.
For volume, we also looked at the width and length, but, what is volume? Volume is a book forming part of a work or series, the amount of space that a substance or object occupies, or that is enclosed within a container, loudness/quietness, and measurement of liquid. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. We were given different places to measure so we could conclude the area and volume.
Hola! In Science last Thursday we made solar ovens! In groups of 3-4, we got pieces of cardboard, foil, skewers, and tape.
We could shape it however we wanted to. My group covered our whole structure in the foil. Once done, the teacher gave us a biscuit and two marshmallows each to put inside. We went outside and waited. The result took a while to come so we got magnifying glasses to speed up the process.
We used the reflection coming through the magnifying glass to burn the marshmallows.
Have you ever made a solar oven?
Hi! In honor of Tongan Language Week, I have made a DLO teaching you some common words and phrases that you can use. I hope you learn something new from my google slide! Have you ever visited Tonga? If not, do you want to?
Hi! Recently we have been learning about World War I and how it impacted others. We learnt about how it affected women, kids, teachers and the soldiers themself.
Here's a DLO which consists of both, videos & photos which also explains the great depression.
Hi! What do you know about gravity? It's basically all around us, like oxygen. We can feel it's effects every day. It makes sure you or just everyday objects aren't floating away. It's also what Sir Isaac Newton formulated when an apple fell on his head. But, back then he didn't realise what type of effects it would have on your body.
Changes To Body
Do you suffer from varicose veins, swollen feet or an aching back? If you responded yes to any of these questions, you are a victim of the inescapable, compressive force of gravity. The results of gravity's constant downward pull on our faces, shoulders, backs, necks, chests, organs, legs and feet are painfully obvious to most of us. Gravity never gives up. We will all experience change to our bodies as a result of life on this planet. The most noticeable effect of gravity on the body is compression of the spine.
1. Is gravity the same on all planets?
Definitely not. It all comes down to depending on the size, mass and density of the object, the gravitational force it exerts varies. More mass gives you more gravity. For example, if you go to Jupiter you'll be compressed to the size of a basketball due to the strong gravitational pull.
2. How is gravity related to mass?
Like I mentioned before, more mass equals more gravity. Since Mercury is the smallest planet, it has the least about of gravity. Jupiter is the biggest planet, so it has the most amount of gravity.
3. Which planet would you weight the most on? The least?
Bigger the planet, the more you'll weigh. For example, if you weighed 50kg on Mercury you'd weigh 18.9kg but on Jupiter, you'd weigh 117kg. Big difference, I know.
4. How would your life be different if you lived on a planet with higher gravity? With lower gravity?
Living on a planet with higher gravity would come with more health-related issues. Humans would turn out to be shorter. On the other hand, living in a place with lower gravity would make us weaker, exercise would be necessary in order to maintain a healthy body.
5. What's the difference between mass and weight?
Mass: If you could count up the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an object (which you probably can't), this would be a measure of the mass. The mass is essentially "how much stuff" is in an object. Common units for mass are the kilogram and the gram.
Weight: There is a gravitational interaction between objects that have mass. If you consider an object interacting with the Earth, this force is called the weight. The unit for weight is the Newton (same as for any other force).
Most humans on the surface of the Earth can get away with saying either "weight" or "mass" because they are proportional to each other. If you know the mass of something (m), then the weight (W) can be found as:
6. How do boats float?
The oxygen inside a ship is much less dense than water. The average density of the total volume of the ship and everything inside of it (including the air) must be less than the same volume of water. As a ship is set in water, it pushes down and displaces an amount of water equal to its weight. The closer the total density of the ship is to the density of the same volume of water, the greater the amount of the ship that will be in the water. If the average density of the ship is greater than the density of water, then the ship will sink beneath the surface of the water.
Hi! Today in Science, we used Spheros. We had to use paper to make a course. My partner and I decided to cut out triangles so the robot could travel in a zig-zag pattern. We decided from either blocks or drawing. The block one was where you actually had to code out what you wanted the sphero to do. On the other side, with the drawing part, you had to draw out where you wanted the robot to go.
The videos and pictures are not currently uploading but I will edit this blog post later when it's possible.
