Model Atom

Aim: To make a model of a atom. 

Method: 

1. Choose an Atom to make (one between Hydrogen and Neon) 

2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.

3. Assign Protons and neutrons to a particular color bead.  

4. Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus. 

5. Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.

6. Connect the nucleus and electron shells with a piece of string. 

7. Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.  

Results:

Discussion: 

- Atomic number - 3 / Number of Protons and Electrons is the atomic number / Mass number - 7 / Number of Neutrons is the mass number. 

- Protons - 3 / Electrons - 3 / Neutrons - 4

- First shell can only have 2, Second shell can have 8 and third shell can also only have 8.

- Although Lithium is a metal it is soft enough to cut with a knife. 

- Along with Hydrogen and Helium, lithium was one of the three elements produced in large amounts of the Big Bang.

Conclusion: 

It worked really well and it lasted a while after it was created. If I were to make this again I would change the element to something a bit lighter so it would hold together. 

Neuroscience Teenage brain development

 In health we have been working on diversity. I have been working with Addyson and we choose 2 topics. One of them are teenage brain development and the other one is effects of gaming on the mind & body. We choose brain development and we had to choose something to create.

While working on this task it was kind of challenging to find some of the correct answers we wanted. We eventually got there at it turned out really well. I choose to try and do pro which is the middle level and I reckon I did pretty good so I'm proud of the work and the amount of work it put it. 

Essay - Social Sustainability

 Social Sustainability (LGBTQ+) 

Social Sustainability comes up a lot especially with the LGBTQ+ community. I’m here to provide you with information so you can support this community and not be so anti about it. Were all human and were all different. 

If you consider yourself a part of the LGBTQ+ then you might think you have a different identity to others, and people consider this as a problem. What actually shapes your identity is passions, it could be what you're into and what you like doing. Some things that could shape your identity is the experiences you have, the people you hang out with, places you go to, the music you listen to and the type of conversations you have with people. 

What is gender? There is no specific way to define yourself and what gender you are, you choose what you want to be. When you are born that is your sex which could be Male, Female or bigender. As you grow up you might experience a mood or mindset where you feel different and this is where the full LGBTQ+ community comes in. 

Being LGBTQ+ can have massive effects on career choices and availability. Some managers won’t hire a person who is LGBTQ+. This affects our economy, if we don’t have people working then not as much money is spent. If the economy collapses then riots may become more frequent and crime has a chance to rise. That could cause harmful gasses to be released or cause more items to be broken meaning we need more resources to recreate them. People could get hurt, if that happened we would need to use resources to help heal and relieve these people of the pain. 

I therefore come to the conclusion that the LGBTQ+ community doesn’t define who you are, you're just different in your own unique way. It is definitely okay to be different and doesn’t matter if you're a part of that community or not.

Heart Disection - 9hur2

• What have we been learning about? / We have been learning about the heart and how it pumps our blood and how it helps us function.

• Why are we dissecting heart? / To see what it's like on the inside and get a clear vision of something in real life instead of diagrams and drawings.

• What are the parts of the heart? Did you see them? / Heart strings, Valves, Aorta, Ventricle, Arteries and we discovered the difference between the left and right side.

• Did you enjoy the dissection? Why/why not? / Yes I enjoyed this and I think we should do it more often. I was super into the dissection because I'm really into science and the human/animals body.

 During the dissection we had to cut down the left side on the heart but our right so we could look into the heart. We saw the valves, heart strings and aorta. After that we cut around the whole heart to look into both sides. We then started exploring the heart and cutting into places that should not be cut. the equipment we used were Scissors, scalpel and tweezers. We did not see the Atrium or the veins because when the heart is being cut out of its body the atrium gets cut off and the veins are up top towards the lungs. 

 

What makes a good leader

 What makes a good leader?

To make a good leader you need to have some good confidence, with that you need to be able to talk to a crowd or people that are different ages and make it clear what your saying. Some examples of good leaders could be some teachers or people that run a business or even Jacinda Arden. For good leaders you have to have bravery, being brave means that you just do what you got to do and get on to it. Be reliable, if your reliable that means people can trust to rely on you for certain things. Show that you are empathetic and you have feelings towards others. You got to be a kind respectful person that shows kindness towards others so they could look up to you. Just be honest, honesty is key it just makes your more trust worthy. Have integrity if you fail just get back up again you will still be learning so it doesn't matter if you don't get a couple words right or anything. 

Thinking about this how good do you think your leader skills could be?

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. 

 

CIP - Tane Mahuta

Last week for CIP we were out in the garden cleaning the area. There was a lot of tyres and they were filled with soil so we had to tip the soil out and roll the tyres down to the back. After we did that we got the soil off the tarps and folded the tarps, then we took the tarps down to the back with the tyres. There was other groups helping to clean the garden area and they were the groups that helped cleaned the classroom and pruning the trees. 

Then today we started to dig up the soil and turn it over. We mixed in fresh soil so it would be fresh to plant plants in. We had to turn it over because it needed to be soft so plants and be planted there. 

When we were out there doing the soil we found so many worms. Worms are really good for the dirt because worms help to increase the amount of air and water that gets into the soil. They break down into a organic matter. When worms eat the grass they leave there manure behind and it can be a type of fertiliser.

Number the stars character description

Hi bloggers. Today I'm going to show you a slide on a book called number the stars. The author of this book is Lois Lowry. It would be really good if I get some feedback on my character traits. A character traits is a slide show were you put information from a character onto a slide. You make your own version of who and how you think that person is and looks like. here is a photo of one of my slides.

My work is in progress. I skim read chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4. I hope you give me a lot of feedback for my character traits. The book is about the danish and the Germans. a Danish means your Jewish. The Germans wanted to take over the Jewish side of Germany. In the book Annemarie has a friend called Ellen and she is Jewish.

I hope you will give me feedback. A feed ford is my next step. My feed ford is making sure I read the book more carefully.

My Somalia story

Hello welcome to my blog. So today I have my Somalia story to show you. Its about this video here is a link to it. I hope you enjoy my story.

WALT write a narrative through the eyes of one of the crew, or robots or the pirates.

It was sunrise in the deep blue diamond sea. There was an enormous ship, then next to it was two little boats with pirates on them.

The enormous ship was full of crates.

“I wonder what's in it?”

“I here something” said captain.

“Pirates are over boarding our ship”.

The pirates start to take over the butcher's kitchen and hold them hostage.

One of the pirates go to the captain and knock his coffee cup out of his hand and he says

“You know who I am i'm the new captain”

He takes captains hat away from him.

“give me the keys GIVE ME THE KEY”

The pirate said well I should say the new captain he put the key in the machine and it powered the us the Robots.

The pirates start to look for their treasure they look in one of the crates but there is nothing in it. “Wait where's our tresher

”They hear a noise from behind them”.

Then they take a look and they find the us.

I say boop, and scare the pirates away. One of the pirates were running past a corner of the ship then I was there and I tripped the pirate up.

We were flying everywhere I was rolling the pirates in tinfoil. We were carrying the pirates and we high fived each other. One of the pirates were ready to shot. I came out and I had this screen on my belly, it had all these bugs on the screen, the pirate got so scared he jump of the enormous ship and landed in the water.

I took the pirates out, then I taped on his shoulder and I pointed out the window, so he could see all of us there were like a million. He was surprised and scared at the same time. He was scared because we were choking the pirates, and he was surprised about how many of us there were.

Then I took the hat and key of the fake Captain and gave it to the real Captain. Now we must go back Bye.

“Bye” said the Captain.

The end Of my Somalia story.

Writing this story was really hared but watching the video over and over again it got me thinking about what I can write.

I hoped you like my blog post and have a nice week end bye.
