Conservation Week 2016

We were learning about Conservation. I have created a emaze presentation to show my learning about Conservation.

100m Sprint Olympics Presentation

Mirrors Presentation

We have been learning about Mirrors and the properties of mirrors. We have also learnt about sound and light. I enjoyed my time learning about Mirrors with Miss Ashe and Room 5.

Water Clock

Water clock

Problem: How much water drips in 15 minutes?

Materials you will need: Beaker, Plastic Cup, Bowl and Electronic.

What did Joshua C, Maranita and I do?

We did 3 attempts to get the correct answer for our water clock experiment but sadly our experiment was inaccurate.

Observation

We saw other group's experiments and compared ours to theirs and I figured out our water drops from the water clock, were going faster than the other groups.

We filmed it and recorded videos but I also noticed that our hole was small and the water drops were going fast because we didn't add pressure on the cup. It was so fast that our results were very different.

Instructions on how to make your own water clock

Firstly  you grab the materials needed which are a beaker,plastic cup,safety pin, bowl and a eletronic to time and record your three attempts.

Second step it to get the safety pin from your materials and poke a small hole in the plastic cup so the water can flow through the plastic cup into the beaker for the right attempt.

After you have poked a small hole into the plastic cup, you get the plastic cup and put it in the beaker. Then you pour water into the plastic cup and wait for the water to drop rapidly while you film and record the time on your electronic.

When 15 minutes is up you get the bowl and take out the plastic cup full of water, and tip it in the bowl.

Finally you measure the water in order to get your results for your water clock.

If it is incorrect you can do a second attempt so you can get a right result.

Results

15 minutes: 110 mls

30 minutes: 110 mls

45 minutes: 80 mls

My Evaluation

What did I learn?

I learnt the cybersafety rules,the school values, facts about planets, facts about plants and biomes, flower reproduction, the history of telescopes,child labour, nikau trees, drug abuse to children, racism,killer whales, how to make a water clock, facts about Anzac, information about countries like Rarotonga, Spain, Japan, Brazil and Canada, the benefits of a chromebook, how to write an explanation and many more

Why were you learning it?

We were learning it because sometimes we would go on fieldtrips and the person who takes us asks us questions about the topic and because we had to write a report or explanation about the topic, it will help in the future.

How is that learning going to help you?

It is going to help me improve my results in tests and my performance in work. Research and projects will help me when I get to highschool and higher education.

What am I pleased about?

I am really pleased that I have improved in my grammar and results in test this year.  I truly worked hard.

Who helped you in your learning?

My Sister really helped me in my learning when my parents were busy, my classmates helped me too when I didn’t understand the topic and my parents who showed me the true meaning of reality and life.

What do I need help with?

I need help with my confidence in learning and to focus and concentrate on  to the topic we are learning.

What do I want to learn next time?’

I want to learn about the history of black and white’s segregation, World War 1 and 11 history, social issues in the world and learning different  languages.

Digital Learning

What are the interesting things you have learned in digital learning?

The most interesting things I’ve learnt in digital learning were digital footprints, cybersas

How is that going to help you in your further learning?

It is going to help me as I move up to higher learning.  All the things I learned will be carried out in different areas of learning.  These will help in my research, inquiry and project learning. It will help me as I go to high school and university.

What are the things I think I need to learn more in digital learning?

Learn new applications to present my work in different ways.  Help me to be creative in presenting graphic designs of my work.

I need to learn more about the cybersafety rules and to be good digital citizen.so I can relate to people on the internet..

What do I want to learn next time?

I want to learn about different social issues, history of the world, music and learn to speak a different language.

Marble Experiment

How High Can A Marble Bounce?

By: Tino, Maranita

What were the materials we used?

We used a metre ruler to measure how high the  marble bounced. The three of us were curious to see how high a marble could bounce on other substances. So what we did was, we tested out on other type of grounds like polished floor, smooth surface, books and concrete.

How did we do the experiments?

First of all we tested how high a thick and big marble could bounce so we had our one metre ruler and started from one hundred centimetres and dropped the marble down to the ground. We measured the bounce with the meter stick. After that we tested out the small marble the same way. Then we started out testing on another substance which was the polished ground. Once we finished experimenting on that, we went to try and see what results we could get on concrete. Then we wanted to see how high the marbles could bounce on different types of cover books.

What are your observations? What data have you collected?

We observed different results on different substances. The data were quite different and interesting. On the carpet for our first test for the big marble. Then when we did the second trial, it went a bit higher than the first. Finally, on the third trial, we saw that the marble bounced higher. Once we finished testing on the big marble, it was time to test the smaller marble. The smaller marble was the same except that on the third try, the result was lower than the rest. After testing our experiment on the carpet, we tried it on polished ground. This time, the big marble went lower then higher and then lower again. It was time to see how high a smaller marble could bounce on polished ground. We did three trials again and saw that the results were all different.

What are the results?

Carpet:

Big Marble:

1. 21cm
2. 29cm
3. 36cm

Small Marble:

1. 27cm
2. 28cm
3. 25cm

Concrete:

Big Marble:

1. 26cm
2. 29cm
3. 31cm

Small Marble:

1. 24cm
2. 28cm
3. 32cm

Soft Covered Book:

Big Marble:

1. 18cm
2. 19cm
3. 19cm

SHard Covered Book:

Big Marble:

1. 5cm
2. 5cm
3. 3cm

Small Marble:

1. 2cm
2. 7cm
3. 6cm

What can you conclude of what you’ve done?

We conclude that both marbles are the same because they are both solids. Once we tested both of them at the same time and same height, we discovered that no matter how big or small any marble may be, they will end up to have the same height rate. Both marbles are the same because they are both solids.

We think that our conclusion and statements are correct. We think that our results were a bit confusing but in the end it went better than we thought.

My Letter to the Hershey's Company

Dear Hershey's,

I LOVE your chocolate! But I have recently learnt that you are supporting chocolate farmers that use child labour. I didn’t know if it is true so I researched about it.The facts are true. It was shocking! I couldn't believe my own eyes, I was speechless. It is heartbreaking how your company has been tolerating child trafficking in the Ivory Coast, Africa. I ask you not to support these farmers and they would stop using innocent children as slaves for your cocoa beans. They do not deserve to have a life of tragedy.You don’t need to buy from them. The more you buy cheap cocoa the more they get their business bigger and will be looking for more children to work for them.
