Sustainability - Textiles

In textiles we have been working on a sustainability presentation. I worked with my friend Addyson and this is how it turned out. 

 

Athletics - Long Jump

1. Run up is 21 steps.
2. Take off will be from the second marker.
3. Land will be measured from the back of your foot.
4. Land with both feet.
5. If you are over the second marker it will count as a Fowl Jump.

Athletics - High Jump

Athletics: High jump

Fosbury Flop.

1. Land with your arms and feet facing up, also land on your back.
2. When you take off it should be on 1 foot.
3. When you leave the ground you must spin around and use your knee to turn.

Solubility

Aim: We are going to investigate the solubility of baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) and table salt (sodium chloride) to see which dissolves faster in water.

Equipment:  
1. 100 ml beaker
2. 100 ml measuring cylinder
3. Salt
4. Baking soda
5. Stirring rod
6. Teaspoon

Method: 
1. Fill the beaker with 80ml of tap water.
2. Add a level teaspoon of baking soda. (A level teaspoon is running your finger accross the spoon)
3. Stir the baking soda in the water till it dissolves.
4. Repeat step 2 & 3 till no more baking soda can dissolve into the water.
5. Keep track of how many teaspoons were added to the water.
6. Do the experiment again but with table salt.

Results:

Solute	Number of teaspoons that dissolved into the water.
Baking Soda	5
Table salt	3

Hypothesis: I think the baking soda will dissolve faster because its more powdery than salt and it will just mix with the water.

Discussion:
When we did the first part of our experiment we didn't have enough time so I think we could have had more salt in it.

Conclusion:
So now we know that baking soda is more Soluble than Salt. I think our results could be more accoutre if we had some more time, because we had to clean up and we didn't finish the first part of our experiment in time. 

Y9 Wānanga goal setting

In Wānanga time we have been working on our goal setting. Tomorrow (18th of Feb) we have Parent Teacher Interviews, so our parents/caregivers will be able to see our Goal Setting.

This is mine:

Year 9 Wānanga Goal Setting

Name: Hope   Class: 9Al Term: 1   Year: 2020

Greatest achievement from last year:  Merit award in year 7/8 dance group.
Subjects taken this term
Hurumanu 1: Hurumanu 3 (Social Studies & Science) 2: Hurumanu 4 (Maths & English) 3:  Physical Education Health Option 1: Maori Option 2: Textiles Tech Option 3: Visual Arts
Academic Goals  Short term (term):  This term I want to not give up too easily.  Long Term (year): Pronouncing Maori words correctly and memorising the words/meaning. Non-academic goal (can be out of school) Getting highest marks in my exams in most of my dance classes. (3 classes)
What are my learning strengths (Refer to Year 10 Graduate Profile) I can think outside the square I am curious and use questioning to develop my thinking  I can communicate effectively with both peers and adults in a range of environments I can manage myself in an online environment I am an outstander - I choose to help others who are having a difficult time	What are my learning work ons (Refer to Year 10 Graduate Profile)  I am adaptable and I can recognise more than one way to approach a problem.  I reflect and seek feedback to determine my next learning steps I can ask relevant questions. I feel confident sharing my work  I can manage my own emotions and empathise with others
What will my next steps be? To be more confident In leading the dances. (Non Academic) To exceed the amount of work that is needed to be done. (Short term)  Practice as much as I can. (Long Term)  How will I achieve this? I will most likely achieve this if I work really hard towards the goal.

So Wānanga Is our form class and it is a year 7, 8 and 9 class. We have 7 periods a week In this class. We do collaborative working with the others classes in our space. Our Wānanga teacher is Mrs Allan - Fletcher and she is pretty cool. 👍
