Social studies work!

Kia ora everyone I am going to be sharing some work that we have been doing in social studies. For the past week or so we have been working on heroes and villains, And at the moment I am working on a famous leader/hero. I have chosen to do Jacinda Ardern because she has done a lot of good things to make our country and people feel safer and stronger. A leader to me is a person who shows true leadership to people and they learn to respect and take other people's ideas and opinions.   

This is my Slide show and Google drawing about Jacinda Ardern:

Types of Government!

Types of Government!

Talofa lava everyone. Last week in Social studies we learnt about different types of government. We learnt about 7 different types of government which were, Democracy, Monarchy, Dictatorship, Communism, Totalitarianism, Oligarchy, Anarchy. For each of these governments, we had to find out the definition, Pros and Cons (Bad good things about the type of government), What country the type of government is used in,( We used google maps showing where it was used), And lastly a leader that has used this type of government from the past or today.

Here is my slideshow:

Dry ice Experiment!

Dry ice Experiment!

Kia ora everyone, Today in science we did another cool experiment. You may have heard of it but the experiment we did was a dry ice experiment. Where we had to put ice into cold water and then see it Subliming which means turning solid to gas. The other part of the experiment was adding soap to the liquid which makes the liquid turn into bubbles that are filled with gas (The gas that is formed when you put dry ice into water), And we also put a Ballon over the conical flask (where the dry ice was put) for it to be blown up with the gas that is been made.  

Equipment:

1. Beaker
2. Soap 
3. Conical flask
4. Dry ice
5. Scooper
6. Ballon
7. Water
8. Water

Method:

First, use a scooper or a spoon to scoop the dry ice out and put the dry ice into a conical flask or Beaker. After that step add water into the beaker or conical flask and watch the gas form. You can also add soap into the beaker for the gas to turn into bubbles, and then you can also put a ballon over it, so you can watch the ballon grow bigger as the gas is expanding into it. 

Restore our earth!

Hello, guys welcome back to another blog post. Last week in Wananga we learned a little bit about restoring our earth. What we read about was about Earth Day which is a day where people take action to help protect our precious planet. We also read about Global Warming, Deforestation, Plastic pollution and how we can restore our earth, and more.  We had a takes to do where we had to answer some questions. 

Here are my questions and answers:

1. Which of the following are not caused by Human activity?

           Volcanos

• 2015 around 190 countries signed the Paris agreement

• 2030 salads of petrol and diesel will end in the UK

• 2019 and area of forest size of a football field  was cut down each year

• 1970 it began in the us

  

2. Find and copy one word which shows that climate change on earth is not caused by Nature? Endangered: At the risk of being extinct.

3. Fill in the missing words: Trees produce valuable Oxygen and help absorb Co2  from the atmosphere 

4. How much Plastic is currently on earth? 9 billion tons of plastic on earth.

5. Reforestation: Reforestation helps absorb carbon dioxide and helps restore the habitats of many animals.

6. Widely manufactured: lots of people make it

7. Paris agreement: I think they choose to sign the agreement because people want to help make the earth a better, cleaner, and safer place for use people and animals to live in.

8. Summary: I think that it's important to restore our world because if climate change starts to change more it will affect our living space and life, and we want our oceans and forests to be clean, and we also want clean living spaces for our wid5 life to live in.

    

Raising Water Experiment/Science

Hello everyone, welcome back to another blog post. In Science today we did an exciting experiment. The experiment is called raising water. I worked in a group with Bailey, and I think we worked really well with each other cause we got through the whole experiment. The purpose of the experiment is to see the candle slowly go out when we put the cup over it.

The Aim of the Experiment: to see what happens to the water level and the Candle when we put the cup over it. 

The Hypothesis: I think that when we have put the cup over the Candle the water will slowly start to evaporate 

Equipment:

• Cup
• Water
• Candle
• Petri Dish
• Liter or matches
• Food colouring Optional (To see the Results Better)

Instructions:

First, get all your equipment ready for the experiment. First, get your petri dish and put your candle in the centre of it. Secondly, use a beaker or a cup to carefully pour water into the petri dish without getting the candle wet. With parental Guidance Lite your candle on fire with a liter or a match. Then wait for your candle to blow out and watch the steam raise up.

Results:

What I saw happen was that when we had put the cup over the candle it had slowly started to go out because it had no more oxygen to be lit in. Then once the Candle had gone out Steam started to raise up the top of the cup.

Samoan Language week!

Talofa lava everyone, Manuia le vaiaso ole gagana Samoa (Happy Samoan Language week). So last week was Samoan language week, And In wananga I  made a slide show showing my work about things that I have learned. I am was born in Samoa and some of the things that are important to me are Respecting my parents, the elderly, and obeying them. In Samoa, It is very important for kids to obey and respect their parents and everyone around them, but I will talk more about this in one of my slides.
