P.E Gymnastics

Hello everyone,

Last week on PE we have been learning about gymnastics. Our task was to blog about the Takaporepore that we have on PE. It's basically a checklist on what we have done on gymnastics. I don't know that much things on gymnastics. 

I didn't do that much gymnastics last week because I weren't there on Wednesday, which we have P.E on period 5. Instead, I have ESOL.

Gymnastics is fun for me, because I can see people doing some amazing flips and balance, the best part was probably the parallel bars, I was still having some troubles.

Here is a link for my Takaporepore

The ones highlighted on red means that I am still learning on it, the yellow highlighted ones are the ones I can do. If they are already ticked, it means that I have tried it and did it successfully.

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you have learned on what we have been doing on P.E.

Hot Chilli

Aim :

I want to find out the best way to cool down your tongue after eating hot chilli.

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

• Hot Chilli Sauce
• Popsicle Stick
• Drinks - Soda, Water, Milk
• Timer

Instruction

1. Get your equipment ready.
2. Get a drop of hot sauce on your Popsicle stick.
3. Lick the Hot Chilli sauce
4. Start the timer
5. After 2mins
6. After 5mins, how hot is your mouth?
7. Repeat the experiment but with a different drink.

Result:

The first chilli I did was without water and I am scoring it a 7 for burning, although it was the first taste. It was still spicy.

The second chilli I did was with water and I am scoring it a 9 for burning, it was burning so bad.

The third one was hot but I rate it a 5 we also drink coke which lessen the burn.

The forth one was less spicy, because I got used to it. The second one was more spicy I guess. At first the spiciness was about a 8. But as soon I drink the milk, it was less spicy. I rate it as 2.

Discussion:

Why does chilli burn your mouth?

Hot chilli contains capsaicin, capsaicin is a chemical compound. As soon as your tongue touches the hot chilli. Your brain reacts to it. The best one to drink is probably milk, it can help down break down the capsaicin, because it contains casein. Casein is the main protein in milk.

Uncle Don Knows Heaps of Wacky Stuff (Pg 17-22)

 Hello everyone,

For this week, we worked on 'Uncle Don Knows Heaps of Wacky Stuff. It's an article that talks about NZ flora and fauna. We are currently looking on Flora and Fauna. 

I created a canva slideshow because I have more options to customize my own work. I add informations about Kiwi, Haast Eagle, Moa and Gondwanaland. Haast eagle and Moa are already extinct .

Here is the Link for my presentation.

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you have learned something.
