festival of the arts week 3

week 3 we started the slide show. we added more photos and started to edit them. we made some look cool and some look old. we were trying to make them look like the photos had been taken ages ago.

Science festival of the arts

In science, I have been doing autochrome, well been trying. Autochrome is something they used to colour photos.

Results-

This is the film paper when the murky water was added. It was like a filter. all the water went through and all the starch ended up on the paper.

\

this is the food dye in the water after I added it on to the paper.
 

this is the top view of what it looked like. It had different types of blue in it which made it look really cool.











discussion-  when I put the starch in the water it went murky. I had to wait 15 minutes. when the fifteen minutes were up I grabbed some filter paper and slowly separated the starch from the water. when the process is done you have to wait till it drys. once it is dry you can grab some colours (red and blue) and put it on the starch but just a drop not too much.

festival of the arts week 2

Today my group took photos of things. I wasn't here for this as I was filming my brother's movie. This is Mollys shoes being way too big for her feet but they still fit.

triassic and jurrasic

Where does New Zealand fit into the theory of continental drift?

why does NZ not have and crocodiles?
because they were only starting to evolve
why is NZ's only mammal a  bat?
cause we moved to Australia when the animals were still coming in.

evidence of woolly mammoths in NZ? explain why

because it was way too cold for the mammoths

wetas and tuataras are living fossil. what does this mean? suggest why we have these creatures but Australia does not.  

Festival of the arts

In photography (my class for the festival of the arts). we had to take photos of things that started with the alphabet letters. for example, Take  C we take a photo of me. this is what we got told.                  Your task is to photograph something beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Place the picture in the box on this sheet. One point for each letter. Bonus points extra if you find a picture that makes the shape of a letter ( a picture that is an X or a W or and L or any other letter).

Here are mine and mollys -

Science Festival Of The Arts

Festival Of The Arts

Aim- I want to learn how to make a pinhole camera. I also want to learn how cameras work and how they came about. I want to research how photographs came about.

Questions- 

• I want to research how photographs were discover
• I want to investigate how to make an auto-chrome photo.

Research

autochrome
To create the Autochrome colour filter mosaic, a thin glass plate was first coated with a transparent adhesive layer. the dyed starch grains were graded to 5 and 10 micrometres in size and the three colours were thoroughly intermingled in proportions which made the mixture appear grey to the unaided eye. 

Geologic time periods

Geologic time period

What is a geologic time scale?
The geologic time scale (GTS) is a system of chronological dating that relates geological strata (stratigraphy) to time and is used by geologists, palaeontologists, and other Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships of events that have occurred during Earth's history.

In this slideshow, mya means million years ago

Save the whales

Saving the whales

Why do we need to protect them?

What is the cause of the population decreasing in number?

What is being done to help them?

how is successful is this help?

 

habitat: they live in the ocean.

food: schooling squid, krill, crab larvae, herring eggs, ghost shrimp, and small bait fish such as capelin. They also eat plankton

breeding: before whales breed they travel several thousand miles. 

facts

The biggest whale in the whole world is the blue whale. The blue whale's heart is the size of BMW and it is 450kgs 

• The blue whale is the largest living animal on this planet and can grow to be over 90 ft. and weigh 150 tons or more.
• The dwarf sperm whale is smallest of the whale species and can grow up to 9 ft. in length and weigh up to 600 pounds.
• The sperm whale is the largest of the toothed whale suborder and can grow as long as 65 ft. and weigh over 62 short tons.
• Baird’s beaked whale in comparison is the second largest of the toothed whale suborder and can grow to a length of 42 ft. and weigh around 15 tons.
• killer whale aka Orca is actually a dolphin. In fact, the killer whale happens to be the largest of the dolphin species (hence the name whale) and can grow to be larger than 25 ft. long and weigh over 6 tons.
• Maui’s dolphin is considered the smallest marine mammal in the dolphin family as it can measure 4 – 6 ft. long and weigh between 95 – 115 lbs.

Whales

Fukushima

• what
• where
• why are these important
• what effect have they had on areas around them?

Chernobyl 

what has been done to done to protect the surrounding areas from Chernobyl radiation

Between May and November 1986, a Shelter was built to contain the damaged reactor, reduce the radiation levels on-site, and prevent further release of radioactive material.

However, problems have later arisen from the fact that the Shelter had to be erected quickly and under very difficult conditions, partly because the construction personnel were exposed to severe radiation levels. Some structural parts have corroded during the past 20 years, which could potentially lead to the collapse of the Shelter and thus to the release of radioactive dust into the environment.

To avoid the top of the Shelter collapsing, there are plans to strengthen unstable structures and to build a New Safe Confinement (NSC) that would cover the existing Shelter and last more than 100 years. The NSC would allow workers to dismantle the current Shelter, remove highly radioactive material from the damaged reactor, and eventually dismantle it altogether.

what we learnt from this


Some photos and videos I found

Drama

Today in class we did drama we were professors and we made up our own names. We imagined we had an object. We had to explain what that object looked like. There was no specific object so we just said what we thought it looked like.

 this was my identity and my opinion

Name: Elmo
Country/Place: Elmos world
Explanation: It  was smooth 

Hello, my name is Elmo and I am from Elmo's world. This object looks and feels really smooth.

Endangered animals

Possums
Rats
Stoats
Ferrets

Pigs


1. An introduced species is a species living outside its native distributional range.
2. Because it fits with their habitat type.
3. Because of pests.
4. They eat eggs from birds that live on the ground and feed on them.
5. Because they are pests and predators and eat native creatures.
6. 

Hedge Hog

Possums: eats eggs of native birds and even the native, disturb nesting birds. The first possums were brought here in 1837 from Australia.
Possums are native to Australia where they are protected.
Possums are not a problem in Australia, in fact, they are endangered in some areas.
Possums were brought to New Zealand to start a fur industry.
At the height of the fur trade, trappers killed 20 million possums in a year which helped to control possum number.When possums were first released into some areas of New Zealand, such as the Wairarapa, school children were given the day off school to mark the historic event!Possums belong to a special group of mammals called marsupials. This means that the baby possum is born when it is still very tiny and continues growing in a special pouch on its mother’s stomach instead of inside its mother’s tummy.
Marsupials are found only in Australia. There are 200 different kinds of marsupials in Australia.
Other marsupials are the wallaby (which was also introduced to New Zealand), kangaroo and koala. That makes the possum the cousin of the kangaroo.

Gymnastics

Week 1
Today in PE we did gymnastics. I thought it was very fun because I enjoyed jumping over the cone on the beam. my fear was going on the beam and jumping the cone because it was scary when the teacher said it but then I was like ok it's not that scary.

first, we did front rolls, back rolls and cart wheels. I did well for the back rolls and front rolls but when it came to the cartwheels I could not do it.

School made Archimedes screw

we got a can  and taped it to the other cans. Then we got a metre tube and taped that. Then we got a two buckets. One was empty and the other was empty. Then we moved the cans and it turned around and water changed buckets.

We put hot water into a bucket and then put the tube in it.  then we got some cans and duct taped them together. then we added the tube so it was sprailing around the cans.

Careers In Science

Careers In science

what to study. biology chemistry physics, algebra, geometry, calculus, biotechnology

Training, Other Qualifications

A career as a veterinarian requires a bachelor's degree, usually in biology, animal science, chemistry, or some other science field, followed by a four-year Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VDM) degree from an accredited program. In addition, veterinarians must pass a state licensing exam prior to practicing.

New graduates with a DVM degree may begin to practice veterinary medicine once they receive their license, but many new graduates choose to enter a 1-year internship. Interns receive a small salary but often find that their internship experience leads to better paying opportunities later, relative to those of other veterinarians. Veterinarians who then seek board certification must also complete a 3- to 4-year residency program that provides intensive training in one of the 20 American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)-recognized veterinary specialties, including internal medicine, oncology, pathology, dentistry, nutrition, radiology, surgery, dermatology, anesthesiology, neurology, cardiology, ophthalmology, preventive medicine, and exotic small-animal medicine.

Education and Training

In college, students interested in veterinary medicine should emphasize the sciences, making sure to take classes in organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, biochemistry, general biology, animal biology, animal nutrition, genetics, vertebrate embryology, cellular biology, microbiology, zoology, and systemic physiology.

When applying to veterinary degree programs, some schools also require calculus, statistics, college algebra and trigonometry, while others require no math at all. Most veterinary medical colleges also require core college courses, including some in English or literature, the social sciences, and the humanities.

Competition for entry into veterinary school is keen. Candidates with prior veterinary and animal experience usually have an edge in admittance decisions. Formal experience, such as work with veterinarians or with scientists in clinics, agribusiness, research, or some area of health science, is particularly advantageous. Less formal experience, such as working with animals on a farm or ranch or at a stable or animal shelter, is also helpful.

Other Qualifications

Veterinarians must have good manual dexterity. They need an affinity for animals and the ability to get along with their owners, especially pet owners, who usually have strong bonds with their pets. Veterinarians who intend to go into private practice should possess excellent communication and business skills, because they will need to manage their practice and employees successfully and to promote, market, and sell their services.

sustainability questions

this is my project it is about micro beads the little plastic beads in shampoo and other things.

mix names in science

today we mix a animal with our name. my animal was a dog so i named it chog. chog was a animal that was half dog half human. chog  was a wild thing.

after name mixing we  made a forest. i was a animal and we had to creep up on some one.

What i learn at marching

What I do for marching

I am a marcher and my team is called pioneers of canterbury. we are under 12.  we travel around New Zealand to other places. in our team, we have 2 coaches, 2 chaperones, and 14 girls.

what I learned in marching was that?
you don't need to be great to win you just need to learn and be good (or you will get yelled at)

photo of me

as you might tell I am the short one in the middle. the teams in this photo are pioneers of canterbury, under 12, under 16, seniors and masters. then we have skellerup masters and under 16. then we have eclipse under 12 and under 16.

Science

1. Isaac Newton
     Who is he?philosper astronomer  Physicist, Scientist, Mathematician(
     Where? Woolsthorpe Britain
      What?
       How is his work related to forces

2.   G forces means gravity forces

3. When & why so containers explode or implode

4.concorde vs cargo planes

5.the bends

Implode

1.First the  bottle was just a normal milk bottle and it was empty

2.Then the bottle got filled with some hot water and was very hot.

3.After that the teacher tipped out the hot water and put cold water on it.

hot water emptied.lid on. Cool under cold water.bottle collapsed. Force acting on outside of bottle is greater than force acting inside.

High impact

force type of push and pull push  is where you  move something away from you pull is where you move something away from you gravity gravity is what keep you down to the ground
friction friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another air resistance
is the opposite of gravity. potential energy is the energy something has when it is staying still kinetic energy is the energy that something has when it is moving. balanced force balanced forces are objects that are the same weight unbalanced force unbalanced forces are objects that do not weight the same accelerate acceleration is where you move. you start slow and go faster and faster.
