Pingao & Sand Dunes

 Hello everyone, on hurumanu 3, we have been reading an article that talks about interesting things.

Our tasks is to create a D.L.O about the article, the article is called 'Uncle Don Knows Heaps of Wacky Stuff'.

I used canva to create a poster about pingao and sand dunes, I made it look interesting because it's a way to make the reader interested on your work.

Here is my poster that I created:

Navigation In Space

 Hello everyone, this blog post is about navigation in space. We have a new challenge for us to do tomorrow in Science. The new challenge is called 'Bucket Head Challenge'. 

Aim: Can I navigate in a straight line without my senses.

We also need equipment, the equipment that we need is:

- Bucket
- Cotton wool
- Blindfold
- Safety partner (A safety partner that you can trust).

Instruction:
1- Put the cotton wool in your ears and nose.
2- Put on the blindfold.
3- Put a bucket our your head.
4- Get your safety person to spin you 3 times and line you u with the flag.

5- Begin to walk in a straight line.

6- Write down how you did, and how you felt.

We have to get all of those equipment ready, and put it on. Our goal was to try to walk in a straight line with the blindfold, cotton wool and the bucket.

Questions:

1- What are your five senses?
The five senses are hear, see, touch, feel, smell. We use these senses to detect the environment.

2- How do people get lost in the jungle?
People might get lost in the jungle because it's either because they wanders too much, or it's because it might be their first time going to the jungle and they don't recognise the environment.

3- Do you have anything special about your legs?
I'm actually not sure if there is something special about my legs, but our Science teacher said that everyone's leg isn't even. One is longer than the other one.

Hypothesis:
I think that I will walk in a zigzag because I might be not sure where to go, like I might get lost.

Navigation In Space - Science [Hurumanu 3]

Hello! In Science, we were tasked to answer the questions that they prepared for us and answer it on our blog or in a google doc. The questions are space related such as the solar system. Like for example, the Mars is part of our solar system

What is a Solar System?

Solar system involves the sun, stars and the planets. The planets are in a specific order. The order is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. We are the third planet in the solar system which is the earth. The solar system is full of asteroids, comets and meteoroids. There are also many milky ways and galaxies.

What is the Milky Way an example of?

The milky way is an example of a galaxy, and our solar system is part of the milky way.

What is a star?

A star is a glowing ball of gas. It is made from mostly hydrogen and helium. Which are bound together by its own gravity. It is supported by Nuclear fusion reaction against gravity. Producing photons, heat and small particles of denser elements.

Describe a nebula

Nebula is a big cloud of dust and gas, the cause of nebula is the dying star’s explosion. So when the star explodes, it creates a big cloud of dust and gas which is called ‘Nebula’.

How do stars die?

Stars die because they run out of hydrogen, if they run out of hydrogen the star dies and explodes which creates nebulae.

Is there an up and down in space?

There up and down in space. Down is a way of gravity pulling you down. Up is the opposite way.

How can stars be used to navigate?

They can use stars to navigate by finding the 3 separate stars. For example, one of the stars is called the Northern Star. It’s also known as the Polaris star.

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you have learn't something new about navigation in space.

Bye.

Communication In Space

Hello everyone, this blog post is about what we did in hurumanu 3 which is science. In Science, we are learning about communication in space. The teachers provided some questions for us to answer, its also space related. 

What are some ways we communicate on Earth? Pick 3

Telephone/Mobile phone - We can use telephone to communicate people in online, by calling or chatting.

How do these forms of communication work, what do they rely on or use?

If they use telephone, they would actually rely on the electrical signal. Because if you don't receive the signal, you won't be able to call with someone you want to call with.

Why can nobody hear you shout at space?

Well eventually, no one can hear you if you shout in space. It's because, Mars and Earth has a long distance between each other.

Is radio communication instant? Why/Why not?

Radio communication can be also instant or sometimes not, because it depends if the signal sends fast.

What does this mean for space missions from Earth to Mars?

Well communication in space is a bit hard, because if someone is in Earth and they tried to communicate with an astronaut in space using their device. That would actually take a long time for the astronauts to get the signal from the earth. That would take months.

Thank you for reading this post about communication in space, bye.
