Changes and Challenges

Changes and challenges

Hey, guys so today I'm going to show you a slide and this is going to show you what we had learned this week in drama. I was also in a group with with Milan that is in my class.

Drama - Haiku Spring Poem.

Spring Poem

So for drama, We had to make a haiku poem in a group of two or three and it had to be about spring.

So I went into a group with Milan And Lily, We all had one job to do each. My job was to write down verbs of spring,Milan's also to write down the adjective word about spring and then Lily's job was to find noun word about spring.

 So if you didn't know  a Haiku poem is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.

Spring

Beautiful, Bright, sky as wonderful as a winter wonderland 

Animals, blossom like a flower awakening from a amazing autumn Sleep

 A star shines bright like a fireball taking place

This was Milan's poem went like this:

Pretty, Bright,sky as  wonderful as a winter wonderland

Animals blossom like a flower

Sun shines bright like a single star in the night sky.

 

Learning Out Come - Questioning and Answering

We are learning to ask and answer questions.

Learning Outcome: We are learning to ask and answer questions

We can successfully ask and answer questions by using the following strategies:

Read a sentence and ask a question about what we have read

Read a sentence and answer a question about what we have

read

Read a paragraph and ask a question about the main idea in

the paragraph

 Read a paragraph and ask a question about the main

character in the paragraph

Give evidence from the text to justify asking a question

Give evidence from the text to justify answers to a question

Good readers ask questions before, during and after

they have read a text.

Sometimes the question is answered in the text.

Sometimes you have to use your own prior knowledge

and what’s in the text to help you come up with the

answer.

Sometimes the question may not be answered by the

text at all and you will have to find another source of

information to help you.

Asking and answering questions helps you look for

information, which builds understanding.

New Science Lab

Aim : To learn how to behave in a science lab

1. Pay attention 
2. Act responsibly around dangerous objects
3. Do not run
4. put your bag under your desk
5. No food in the lab 
6. Do not sniff or taste substances

• Test tube tongs - These are used to hold a hot test tube after an experiment.

• Glass Stirring rod - A 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.

• Conical Flask - used for experiments with liquid up to 150 ml. The flask has a rubber bung for the top and the glass is heat proof.

• Funnel

• Glass Stirring rod - A 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.

• Measuring Cylinder - this is used to measure liquids for experiments. The liquids will be poured into a beaker or test tube once measured out.

Decomposing and Recycling

Hurumanu - Decomposing and Recycling

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

Hypothesis: I think the bread or the banana would Decomposed first before the paper and the white cup.

Materials:

1.   Test Tubes x4
2.   Test Tube Stands 
3.   Bananas
4.   White Styrophone
5.   Bread
6.   Paper

Conclusion:

Climate Chaos - Solar Power

Aim: To learn about how solar energy is used.

Hypothesis -

I think that black would attract the most heat rather than white or silver.

Materials -

1. White cup x 2
2. Clear cup
3. Black plastic
4. Tinfoil 
5. Paper
6. Water
7. Thermometer
8. Heat lamp

Steps -

1. Grab all of your equipment from your teacher.
2. Keep one of the white cups on the side because that will be your white color for this experiment.
3. Mold some tinfoil onto the other while cup to create your silver cup.
4. Cut along the top of your plastic bag so both ends are open and fit around your clear cup.
5. Pour some water in each cup making sure it is around 1/4 full.
6. Turn on your heat lamp making it face all of the cups so the experiment has the correct results.
7. Test your water in each cup every 15 minutes for about 45 minutes making sure to leave the thermometer out long enough to get the right temperature in each cup.

Findings -

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16	16	16
15	21	24	22
30	21	23	21
45	22	21	21

           

The Greenhouse Effect.

AIM: TO LOOK AT CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE GREENHOUSE

EFFECT.

THE GREENHOUSE GASES EXPLAINED.

The Greenhouse Effect experiment

Materials

1. 1 plastic bottle
2. 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda and Citric Acid
3. 1 heat lamp
4. 1 Thermometer
5. 100 ml water
6. 1 rubber bung

Procedure

1. Collect 2 bottles, 2 bottles, 2 lamps and 2 thermometers from the teacher
2. Set up bottles and lamps beside a powerpoint on a flat surface
3. Pour 100ml water and Baking soda mixture into one of the bottles. Add just water to the second bottle
4. Start to record your findings taken from both thermometers. These must be every 5 minutes

Findings:The Greenhouse Effect Data

Minutes	Bottle 1: Water	Bottle 2: CO2 Gas
0	18C	18C
5	20C	24C
10	22C	24C
15	22C	25C
20	23C	27C
25	25C	29C

Conclusion:The temperature of the CO2 bottle goes higher than the normal bottle. This showed that CO2 heats up our atmosphere very fast.
