Navigation In Earth

 Hello everyone, this post is about navigation in earth. Navigation in earth is part of our tasks in hurumanu 3, which is Science and writing. 

Navigation In Earth

What is a magnet?

Magnet is an iron metal that attracts other metal, if the iron spins all the same way. It creates a magnetic field, and it attracts other metal.

Draw a magnetic field around a bar magnet:

How does compass find North?

There is liquid metal spinning inside the earth, which creates a magnetic field. The compass lines up to the magnetic field and it will point in the north direction.

How can you make a compass?

In our class we did an experiment of making our own compass, we need water, a needle, plastic bow, paper and a magnet. We rub the magnet on the needle for 5 minutes, and we pour the water in the plastic small bowl. After 5 minutes we get a small piece of paper and put the needle on top of it and we have to put it in the water, and try not to sink it or else it will fail.

Spheros on Mars

Hello everyone, this blog post is about Mars. We have another task to do, and the task that we have to do was make a D.L.O about the questions that they prepared for us to answer. The questions are Mars related, and we mostly focused about robots that. The type of D.L.O that I made was a google slide. 

Here is the D.L.O that I created:

Question:
Are you interested in Mars Rovers?

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

Bye.

Mexican Mince/Nachos

Hello everyone, this post is about  were what we did in cooking class. It's also called as Cooking Technology. In cooking class, we made nachos which is also called as Mexican Mince. I'd prefer to called it as Nachos. 

Here is a picture of nachos to show what it looked like:

Here is a screenshot of the nachos recipe:

My teammates were Jhrnylle and Truby, we we're only a group of 3. We managed to successfully make nachos. 

The nachos smelled like Mexican flavour, well it tasted okay. Making nachos was a little bit confusing, but it was great experience because I finally learned how to make nachos.

Navigation In Space Results

 Hello everyone, this post is about the results of the bucket head challenge. This bucket head challenge is part of our learning, so we have to experience walking a straight line with a blind fold and a bucket on 

Results:

The time that I put a bucket on my head, I felt like I was lost because I couldn't see. I was nervous that something bad might happened to me, but luckily I picked the right person for me to stop me in any danger that is coming up. My partner was Cate. I walked as straight as I can. After for a while I finally reached the end, I took awhile trying to walk in a straight line. They said that I was walking in zigzags, so that means that my hypothesis was right. I knew that I was gonna walking a zigzag because I was unsure where I was going since I lost my senses. We walked back to the starting line and some people were walking in zigzags and in circle. 

Thank you for reading this post, bye. 

Life On Mars Reading Activity

Hello everyone, this post is also about Mars related. Our task was to read a story of someone experiencing how to survive in Mars by going to a desert and doing some tests there, after we have read the story we have to answer 3 questions that they prepared for us to answer and share it to our blog. The answer for these questions can be found in the story, that's why we have to actually read it and understand it. 

In your own words, summarise what happens at the Mars Desert Research Centre.

So in the Mars Desert Research Centre, they had to study all about geology, biology and astronomy. 6 people stays at the station for 2 weeks. You might be wondering where they sleep? They actually sleep in some sort of building called 'hab', that is shaped like a cylinder. With bunk rooms and laboratories for them to study. Every time they had to go outside, they need to wear their spacesuits and helmets for their safety.

Why did Haritina find difficult about at the research centre? Why?

Haritina found it difficult because they have to do many tasks, like up to nine jobs.

Why do you think it is important for astronauts to practice in an environment like this before heading into Space?

It is important to practice before going to space because you might forget what your supposed to do. Like for example you accidentally forgot how to wear the spacesuit. Because it might be hard to wear it.

Health Concerns

Hello everyone, this blog post is about health concerns. Our task was to create a D.L.O about health concerns, and the one that I chose is about depression.

The reason why I chose depression it's because, some people are actually suffering in depression. Because in New Zealand, there's about 9 percent of high school students that attempted suicide. Because they might have been bullied repeatedly. For some people, they might have just given up and became depressed.

Here is a link for the slideshow that I made about depression:

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.
