Early Encounters In Aotearoa

Hi Bloggers , Today I'm Going To Be Talking About The Early Encounters In Aotearoa.

The first European explorer to arrive in Aotearoa was Abel Tasman, He arrived in 1642. He saw the island thinking it was some kind of massive island. So he decided to give it the name " Nova Zealandia". Skip near around a century later , another explorer discovered the island in 1769 named James Cook. But he was nicer than others Aotearoa has come across.

The chief navigator Tupaia wanted to help the explorers that arrived at Aotearoa. Something that was pretty bad was that the Europeans were bringing diseases to Aotearoa.

At that point very bad things were happening , it was like war.

The things that they would use were muskets. Muskets are guns that can either be semi=automatic , or a one shot weapon. There was a war called Musket Wars , they would use them to gun down their enemies. The musket wars ended in the late 1830s.

The Present.

Our Class Watched An Animation Called ¨The Present¨

It's About A Boy And Dog That Has A Disability Where His Left Foot Is Gone , So His Mom Decided To Get Him A Dog With The Same Disability. At First The Boy Wasn't Interested In The Dog, Until He Realised That They Had A Connection. The Boy Decided To Play With The Dog Because He Knew The Dog And HIm Had A lot In Common .

- The Boy Changed His Mind About The Dog.

- The Boy Eventually Played With His Dog.

- The Boy And Dog Connect In A way.

- The Boy Is A Fan Of Call Of Duty .

- The Boy And The Dog Ended Up Having Fun.

- The Dog Is Probably Now His Best Friend

Climate Change

Definitions:

1. Anemometer:
2. Beaufort wind scale:

MATERIALS

1. pencil                                                                                           
2. 2 sticks                                                                                         
3. pin                                                                                               
4.  4x plates                                                                                     
5.  sellotape                                                                                     

STEPS

1. go to one of the Designated areas
2. Raise the anemomoter as high as you can reach 
3. time 15 seconds
4. count the spins withim 15 seconds
5. record

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper ( watch)

• Counter

• Recorder ( chromebook or refill )

• Anemometer Manager ( Anemometer)

• Wind Manager

Instructions:

• Go to the measuring place and set up your wind gauge.
• Make sure everyone in your group is ready to start their roles.
• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
• Count the number of spins in 15 seconds.
• Record it on your chart.

FINDINGS

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	1
2.	Old J Block site	1
3.	Grass hill in quad	1
4.	Tennis Court gate	2

• USING A4 PAPER DRAW YOUR RESULTS ON A GRAPH.
• TAKE A PICTURE OF THE GRAPH AND UPLOAD IT TO YOUR BLOG

WHICH IS THE WINDEST AREA AND WHY?

WHICH IS THE CALMEST AREA AND WHY?

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE ON LAND TO BUILD A WINDMILL?

CONCLUSION: 

Tennis  is court got the most spins because it is near whole lot of bushes that blow it 

Science Lab!

Aim: To learn how to behave in a science Laboratory.

1. Pay attention

2. Act Responsibly Around Dangerous Objects. 

3. Don't Run

4. Put bags under your desk

5. No food or drinks in the lab.

6. Do not sniff or taste substances.

• Test tube - used  for most experiments using liquids.They have a bung that goes in the top.
• 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.
• Glass Stirring rod - A 20cm glass rod used to stir and mix any liquids together.
• Test tube tongs - These are used to hold a hot test tube after an experiment.
• Spatula - For holding very small amounts of chemical powders.
• Funnel
• Measuring Cylinder - this is used to measure liquids for experiments. The liquids will be poured into a beaker or test tube once measured out

Decomposition.

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

Materials: 

1 banana

2 white paper

3 bread

4 white styrophone

5 air stopper

6 4x science chub

7science chub holder

8 sticky note

9 pen

Steps:

1 get the stuff you need.

2 write the names of the group.

3 put the banana, bread, white paper, white stroyphone, 

   

4 put the science chub in the science chub holder.

5 put the air stopped in the science chub.

6 stick the sticky note on the science chub holder.

7 put it somewhere it can decompose.

Water cycle experiment.

Title: Water cycle experiment.

Purpose: learn how the water cycle works and how plushin conteranates the water. 

Materials 

• 1x zip lock plastic Bag’s (A4).
• Vivid pen. 
• 100 ml of soda water.
• Blue food coloring.
• Limiste paper.
• Baking soda.  
• Double sided type 20 cm.

Procedure

1. Draw a picture of the water cycle on the bag.

2. Open the bag and poor 50 ml of soda water in the bag.

3. Put two drops of blue food coloring in the bag.

4. Put one teaspoon of baking soda in the soda water

5. Put the limiste paper betwen the zip on the bag.

6. Use 20 cm double sided tape to stick it on the window.

Findings:

	The Water Cycle	Acid Water Cycle
Does it cycle?	2	2
Amount of Water	2	2
Acidity	0	2

Key: Water and acidity amount: 0 = none 

1 = small 

2 = large

Coments: 

1. The water cycle did cycle, we had high amounts of water and it did not a lot of acid  
2. The water cycle did cycle, we had high amounts of water and it did have a lot of acid
