Science – Science report

Kamista bloggers, for this blog I will be teaching you the steps on how to make a scientific report.

I will be talking about the scientific method (on how to do it).

Firstly research about your topic. Google,read books, or ask your teacher some questions that would help you find out more about your topic/experiment.  Next you write a hypothesis on what you think will happen. You can do it on paper or digitally. Next do an experiment about your topic to see if your hypothesis and research is correct. Next check all your data/ list everything you have learned to see if they all connect and make a big picture for you to understand.Next is your observation. What did you see/ realise. And last is a conclusion. Just sum up everything you have learned into one or few sentences.

And then just make a report about all the information you have collected and add some pictures to make it look more pleasing.

 

Thats all for this blog. And go try and make a science report with all these steps/tips! byeee.

All about FACKTS

Kamusta bloggers, for this blog I will be explaining what FACKTS are and how it can help you. FACKTS are basically what you need to create a good map. We need all this elements so people could actually understand the map. What does FACKTS stand for?

Frame,Arrows,Colour,Keys,Title,Scale. These are needed in the map so we could actually understand what the keys and colours mean. So we know where land or water is. Here is an example of a map.

It has most of the elements. We can clearly see and understand the map. It is easy to know what the keys represent especially because they added colour. I encourage you to read and learn more about FACKTS/maps because it can help in your daily lives especially when your in an emergency and you don’t have internet.

Thats all for this blog byebyee.

Literacy – Sentences

Kamusta bloggers, for this blog I will be talking about what I have learned in literacy this week. This week we focused on sentences. The sentences that we talked about are called power sentences and a very short sentence.

What is a power sentence? A power sentences is a sentence with 12 words or fewer. How about a very short sentence? A very short sentence is a sentence with 5 words or fewer. Here are some examples of my power sentences and very short sentences.

 

That’s all for this blog. I encourage you to learn more about these sentences because its fun and you will learn a lot. Byee

 

FACKTS – Social Studies

Kamusta bloggers, for today’s blog I will be talking about FACKTS. You might be wondering what FACKTS is?

F – Frame

A – Arrow

C – Colour

K – Key

T – Title

S – Scale

FACKTS are basically what you need in a map. We need all of this in a map so people can actually understand how the map works. Here is an example of a map.

It’s not very clear but as you can see there are keys on the side of the map and it is also applied on the actual land. You can tell that the green is the land/grass or as it says on the keys it resembles a forest. And the yellow is grazing.

Not all of the maps have colour but if it does have colour it makes it more clear on what it is. From this lesson on FACKTS I learned that maps have many parts to it. And it’s actually very interesting to learn about maps so if you need to use a map you know how to. Maps help many people navigate themselves when they’re high up in the mountains or a forest or anywhere without internet.

Thats all for this blog and I encourage you to learn more about maps because its helpful in an emergency.

Forensic Science

Kamusta bloggers, for this blog I will be talking all about forensic science. You might be wondering what forensic science is? Forensic science is the application of science matter of law.  Some different types of forensic scientists are the following.

Ballistics expert – which is a forensic scientist that works with firearms

Pathologist – which is a forensic scientist that works with fluids and organs that are taken from the human body.

Odontologist – which is a forensic scientist that works with dental evidence

 

There are many more types of forensic scientists. You can research more about it and see what kind of scientists you’d like to be.

I made a poster for forensics science and here it is below.

It is an example of what forensics might look like.

Archimedes

Did you know that the first ever forensics scientist is Archimedes.  Archimedes invented the crucial sciences of mechanics and hydrostatics. Why is Archimedes so famous? He is famous because of his contributions in geometry and Archimedes principle is important because it is very useful for calculating the volume of an object that does not have a regular shape.

If you are wondering what Archimedes looks6 like here is a picture of him.

DNA, DNA contains the genetic code that is unique for everyone. Your DNA is like your fingerprint no one has the same DNA or fingerprint.

If you are wondering how to be a forensic scientist here is the answer.

You need to have a minimum of a Bachelor of Science, majoring in an element of science such as chemistry,biochemistry, biotechnology, medical laboratory science or molecular biology. It really depends on which area of forensics you would want to work in.

 

That’s all for this blog. Bye!!!

 

Health – Recap

Kamusta, For this blog I will be talking about what we have learned and talked about in health for week 5 and 6.
The first thing we talked about is consent. What is consent? Consent is when you ask someone for permission to do something. Consent might sound like the following:

Could I please…
Can u have…
And there are many more sentences to ask for consent.

 

Another topic we talked about is acting appropriately and respectfully. How can you act appropriately and respectfully? You can act like that by doing appropriate touch, asking for consent, be kind and courteous, be polite and don’t interrupt someone while they are speaking, and always think before you speak and show love!

That’s all for this blog Byebye!

 

 

Music – Ukulele

Kamusta bloggers, I will be sharing some information I learned in class today. Our topic in class today was how to play a Ukulele. We learned two chords today, C and Ami. We watched a video talking about the chords and how deep the chords were.

Me and my friends had fun because playing ukuleles were so cool. I wish we could do this again in the future and learn more chords and learn how to play a song.

thats all for this blog byeee.

Social Studies – Post war Aotearoa

Kia ora, today’s blog post I will be sharing my understanding from my learning about post war Aotearoa. These past 2 weeks we were given a slideshow to work on. We could pick if we wanted to do Ace,pro, or legend. I picked Legend, and the task for legend was to find information about a successful Maori individual. I picked Dame Whina Cooper.

From what I learned Dame Whina Cooper is a protester who was born on December 9,1895 in northern Hokianga. And here is the slideshow I worked on.

Thats all for this blog. If you have any suggestions on how to make my blogs better feel free to comment or just comment something positive. Paalam!!

Science – Peripheral Vision

Kamusta bloggers, for this blog post I will be talking about Peripheral Vision/ the task we did about it.

What are we trying to find out?? – Whether different shapes or colours are easier or harder to see with Peripheral Vision.

How/What did we do?
Here is a list of the materials we used:

Protractor cut out
Popsicle sticks
Felt pens
Paper
Scissors
Glue stick
Pin

How did we do it?

Firstly we cut some small triangles and coloured them.My group picked the colours pink,yellow,green,blue, and red. After colouring it we use the glue stick to glue it on the popsicle stick. After that we put the pin on top of the protractor/semi circle. you just look at the pin while your friend moves the popsicle stick around. when you see the coloured triangle in your peripheral Vision you tell your friends to put it onto a graph.

This is how we did it

Here is a picture of our graph:

What did we find out? – We found out that we can see green and blue easier and red the hardest, and Kirsten has the best eyesight amongst the three of us.

 

If you are wondering how the protractor I’m talking about looks here is a picture of it. (but I used a cutout of it)

That’s all for this blog. If you have any suggestions on how to make my blogs better feel free to comment or just comment something positive. Bye!!!

 

Social Studies – Olympic/ Week 1 -2 revision

Kamusta bloggers, for this blog post I will be showing you guys the work I’ve done in term 3 so far. 

Our main topic is about the Olympics. The first activity we did was to pick if we wanted to do Ace, Pro, or legend.

All of them were based on the Olympics. I picked Legend and we had to choose an Olympic sport (I picked surfing) and state the rules,  answer the provided questions about the sport chosen and also find where the other sports are held. 

Here is the activity I did.

The Olympics is a very fun and exciting event to watch. I love watching their volleyball matches and swimming.

Thats all for this blog. If you have any suggestions on how to make my blogs better feel free to comment or just comment something positive. Paalam!!
