Ratio - Maths

This is my presentation teaching us more about ratios

WALT: Understand how ratios work

Maths

WALT: Find more then one way to solve problems.

Math Word Problems

These are my answers to a maths presentation given to us from our teacher.

Technology and Scandals From The Olympics

Science Experiment

Title - Gummy Worm Experiment

Purpose: What do you want to learn/find out?

I want to find out why and how the worm juice actually forms into the gummy worms.

Hypothesis: Try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is ‘educated guess’. This is usually stated like ” If I…(do something) then…(this will occur)

I thought that the liquids would just sit on top of each other and they would barely have contact.

Materials: List everything you will need to conduct your experiment.

Small Eco Cup Large Eco cup Solution Sodium Alginate originated from seaweed(Worm Juice) Red, Blue and Yellow. Pipettes Worm Activator Calcium Chloride

Experiment procedure: The fun part! Design a test or procedure to confirm or disprove your hypothesis. Write down each step so that someone else could do the same experiment.

Step 1: Put Calcium Chloride in water then mix until all is dissolved Step 2: When the water is ready you can pour or use your pipette to grab any color of worm Juice and watch the scientific magic happen Step 3: Play with the non-edible gummy worms

Analysis/Data: Record what happened during the experiment.

The Sodium Alginate (Worm Juice) mixed with the water that had Calcium Chloride and then the Sodium Alginate would not only dye the water but also create non edible Gummy Worms.

Conclusion:Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct.

My thought of the ending result was wrong, the outcome was a lot different than I thought it was going to be. I expected the two liquids to barely touch, I guess I might’ve had a better Idea of what it was gonna end like If I actually used the title of the experiment.

Science Experiment

This term for Inquiry were learning about science and to really go into it we are doing experiments every week on Fridays.

Compare And Contrast Of Deadly Epidemics

This week we were learning about the differences between Black Death and Ebola. 

The Black Death

We were learning about the tragic problem that happened in the 13th century. The Black death.
WALT: Compare and Contrast

The American Elections

We were learning about the Republicans and the Democrats and what each party believes in.

Multiplying Decimals

This is my maths presentation. We are learning to multiply decimals. With the Algorithm strategy.

Multiplication Maths

This is one of my weeks maths tasks, we were using a special maths technique called algorithm.

Letter To John Key

Dear PM John Key,

My name is Zane and I am a student of Pt England School sending a letter to you about the bad water pollution that's going on at the moment. As you probably know a lot of fish and seabirds in Auckland are dying, and quick. The big reason is because of all the rubbish that is in the ocean and the fish and birds think that it might be food for them. All the rubbish and plastic gets left on the ground then gets blown into the ocean and then the fish and birds want to eat it because they think its food.

You need to do something about this. A lot of people would appreciate if you tried to stop all the rubbish going everywhere. Because at the moment it doesn't look like you care as much but maybe you should put fines on people who litter or set down some ground rules for the public. There are also some members of the public who do good and go in their own time to fix this problem. Maybe you should give some funding to these people.

If you don’t do anything about the situation now it can get a lot worse in the years to come and we wouldn't want to see what would happen if it didn't get stopped. If you see this don't just leave it, listen and do something to help the New Zealand Waters.

Yours Sincerely

Zane

Maths

This is my maths task and as you can see we are learning about Multiplying whole numbers by decimals.

Book Review

This is my book Review on a very good book called "Surviving Sharks And Other Dangerous Creatures"

Muscles

Muscles! We are learning about muscles and how they work and help us inside of our body.

Smooth Muscles are Bladder, Stomach and Intestines, these muscles are called involuntary muscles. If we didn't have smooth muscles we would pee before you could get to the bathroom. Smooth Muscles are found inside the stomach intestines and the bladder.

Cardiac Muscles pump blood around your body and they are muscles that work without you even trying like your heart your heart muscle is called myocardium.

Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles which means that they only move when you make them move. Your skeletal muscles are connected to your bone by tendons. Bones Muscles and Tendons   make your body powerful.

The voluntary muscles are controlled by parts of the brain called cerebellum and the cerebral motor cortex. The brain sends messages to the muscles to work.

Training For Sucsess

This is our weeks task.

WALT: Use our prior knowledge to analyse the text

The Olympics

:The Olympics:

Back in 776 BC(Before Christ) was the first ever ancient Olympic games, it was held in Olympia Greece. The games were dedicated to the Olympian god.

There were only 13 games in the ancient Olympic games and now there are at least 28. The modern games are more exciting, for numerous reasons; there are larger crowds more people can watch it from the other side of the world on the tv, heaps more countries are participating and more people are breaking records.

Every Olympics the games travel to a different location this year it's being held in Rio De Janeiro Brazil. Last year it ventured to London, England and before that was Beijing in 2008. People build new buildings, new stadiums and even new Monuments for the visitors who are going to the country for the olympics.

Because Brazil isn't seeming like a safe place at the moment because of reasons like the Zika Virus and unsafe stories  some contestants have dropped out of the big tournament.

In conclusion if you host the Olympics in your country it is given the opportunity to get more money from tourists visiting the country, tourists will be going to that country more because of what it looks like from the olympics and that will get people buying more things from shops, using hotels and just having trips around the country.

Tired Muscles

This was our weeks task and we learnt about our muscles and how and why they get tired.
