Ki-O-Rahi

Today in P.E we played Ki-O-Rahi and we had to do some research

I hope you guys enjoyed the slideshow

Instrument Families

string

the sting family is the largest family of instruments they came in four sizes  the viola is the smallest in the string family the cello is the biggest in the string family 

Brass

they are sometimes called labrosones. not all instruments are made out of brass. many marching bands use a special tuba called a sousaphone.

woodwind 

is the highest sounding instruments. woodwind family is also a family of instruments

C.I.P

Today in C.I.P  we were working on the garden, greenhouse and the outdoor classroom.  my friend and I were cutting up ivy so we can stop it from growing because if it keeps on growing then our whole garden would be filled with ivy and we want to plant some vegetables and other stuff.  

After we were done cutting the ivy we went to help out at the greenhouse. what we did was we lifted up the stones and rocks and we had to put them in a pile. We kept doing that till all the rocks and stones were out of the greenhouse. My friend and I didn’t have enough time to take all the stones out because we had to go to kiwi Kaha. 

Hurumanu - Recycling

Rubbish Bins

Aim: To learn practical ways of recycling so that we can make our world a better place.

The Zero Waste Climate Solution movie

How can we prevent climate change though recycling these products?

Plastics: the more you burn plastic the more gases go into the air and contaminate the air witch makes the world more hot.
Cycling or walking:when you are in a car driving somewhere you are releasing CO2 into the air witch contaminates the air.
Paper: the more you waste paper the more wood and trees leave the ground and soon we won't have any trees witch means we won't have any oxygen to breath witch will make humans go extinct.
Steel: as we burn steal and all hard wear we use for cars we release carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the air.

What is Zero Waste?
one of the quickest cheapest ways of community can immediately reduce climate impact.
What can we do on the planet?

What do we need to recycle?

paper

plastic

What does recycling do?

reuse something like a milk bottle you can reuse it and make something else with it. 

How much of our rubbish is food scraps?

What does soil do to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

it keeps the CO2 in the ground witch means less carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the air.

What do we need to do?

What is a carbon footprint?

How can you make your Carbon Footprint smaller?

ENERGY SAVING TIPS FILM

Name 4 of the tips.

1.   don't use to much electricity by turning off my light when I leave a room.
2.   don't use my microwave all day
3.  don't always charge my phone and Chromebook and to stop that from happening is by not always going on my technology. 
4. 
   

AT WHAT RATES DO DIFFERENT ITEMS DECOMPOSE?

MY INVESTIGATION.

Name: Glass

1. How long do they take to decompose? 500 - 1 million years
2. What resource / fossil fuel are they made from?the energy consumed in glass manufacturing industry comes from natural gas used to heat furnaces to melt raw materials to form glass.
3. How is this resource recycled?Glass is taken from the bin and taken to a glass treatment plant. The glass is sorted by colour and washed to remove any impurities.
4. How does this object contribute to climate change?That's because the glass walls of the greenhouse trap the Sun's heat.

Hurumanu: The Water Cycle

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition: the cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in9 streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.

                                                         Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the water falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

1.  Plastic bag
2.  Vivid marker 
3.  1 cup of water

4.  2 drops of food coloring (blue)

Steps:

1.  Get the bag
2.  Get a vivid marker
3.  Draw on the bag
4. Get  1cup of water  
5. Get food coloring 

Two Images:

Findings:

Conclusion: for our science we did a science solo thing We had  10 hexagons and order them on a big paper. So we started with evaparation, freash water, carbon Dioxside,oceans,water vapor, condensation,precipitation,stormsand flooding 

(Bag 2)

       

1. Litmus paper
2. Soda water
3. 2 drops of food colouring 
4. Vivid marker
