Algebra In Science

 In hurumanu, I have been working on Algebra.  Our task today was to create a slideshow of algebra in science hence the title "Algebra In Science."  We learnt so much during the 13 weeks given, here is a fragment of my knowledge which I gained through Hurumanu 5.

I learnt the algorithm of velocity.  I presented this in the slide show and why this algorithm works.  I explained why and how with data.

Lemon Power

Voltage:

Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop, enabling them to do work such as illuminating light. In brief, voltage = pressure, and it is measured in volts (V).

Current

An electric current is a flow of electric charge in a circuit. More specifically, the electric current is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit. The charge can be negatively charged electrons or positive charge carriers including protons, positive ions or holes.

Aim:

To create voltage out of a lemon.

Method:

• Roll the lemon out so the inside is liquidy
• Stick a piece of zinc and copper into the lemon
• Connect the lemon up to a voltmeter

Results:

Discussion:

When we rolled the lemon we made the inside liquidy.  We tried it with one lemon then we moved it to a whole bunch of lemons.  When we rolled it we made a whole lot of acidic acid inside the lemon.  This was then converted to a voltage.  When we connected all the lemons which made 2.3 voltage.

Conclusion:

This was fun and I had learnt how lemons have voltage.  This was a fun and different experience.  I would like to do this again and when I do I would want to try it with a different fruit.  To see which fruit has the most voltage. :)

What we did in Hur6...

So in Power To The People, we have been trying to make our own political party and try to create a difference in our society within our classes.  I will be keeping you updated with our progression in this class.  So here is my first recording of what I have done today:

Today we have confirmed who is in our group.  In my group, I have Megan, Sofia, Kalea and I.  We are going to create more solutions for us to help the community the best way possible.  We have successfully elected Sofia as our leader.  Because we feel as a group that she has way better potential than all of us in making a persuasive speech. We have come up with the logo, and are now trying to find a catchy slogan.

Little bit on Decade Research Project

For the past week and a bit, I have been working off my Decade Research Project.  What we had to do is explain what happened in each decade from 1900 to 2020.  We had to research tragic events or amazing events.  I am almost finished but this is a snippet of what I have been working on...

This is one of the slides that I have done.  This one is about Martin Luther King Jr, and how he was fighting for civil rights.  Thank you for reading wait for me to post the whole thing, Thanks.

Hello, Goodbye (Isolation Edition)

Hello and goodbye,  this is a before and after lockdown.  Goodbye represents what we are leaving behind.  Hello means what we see again. (After Lockdown)  This is my "Hello, Goodbye" story enjoy.

Goodbye late nights and deep periods of sleep, 

Hello early mornings and cold breakfast.

Goodbye T.v screens and gaming consoles, 

Hello science books and Chromebook documents.

Goodbye, last night's dinner, 

Hello random crackers and protein bars.

Goodbye homemade dinner, 

Hello, afternoon takeaways.

Goodbye silence and the sound of the wind,  

Hello cringe smiles and yells of joy.

Goodbye, minimal contact, 

Hello Social life.

Goodbye Isolation, 

Hello Freedom.

States of matter

For science, I have studied what the different states of matter are and how they are made.  I also had to take a quick look at what fire is.  Is fire a Solid, Liquid, Gas or Plasma.  I struggled with this.   Overall this was a great experience and I would love to do this again.  Here is my work:

Home Exercising

For the past 3 weeks or so I have been trying to keep my fitness up by going for runs, Doing weights, having a normal workout routine with and weights and a bit more. I am trying to work out so that when I get back into the sport I will be fully prepared.

Although I am trying to keep fit I am also struggling due to temptation.  I cannot keep focused on a healthy diet if I continue eating ice cream, Chips, Chicken nuggets, etc.  So for the next couple of weeks, I am going to set myself a challenge...

My challenge for the next couple of weeks is to lose 5 - 10 kg.  This will mean that I will be having to make sure that A, I will be keeping to a healthy diet B, I will be exercising daily and C making sure that I keep track.

I would like to finish off with thank you for reading my blogpost and please comment on what you like or didn't.  I would also like you to challenge yourself to do 3 physical things outside or inside a week.  Thank you and bye.

The Lighthouse

Today I watched a short film about a lighthouse and its keeper.  After I had watched the video we were given questions. Here is the link to the video.

Has there been a time when you wanted to away from other people? Why did you feel like that?

I like to think of myself as a very calm individual and I do not get angry that many times or ever.  I get angry if I keep getting annoyed.  Like a cup of water if you keep filling the cup it will eventually overflow.  So if someone keeps annoying me my anger will keep building and eventually put me in an unsettling mood.  When I get put into this type of anger I want to be isolated from the people around so I can calm down.

Why do people want to be alone? Are they happy?

People want to be alone for a different range of reasons.  They may want to be alone because Reflecting, calming down, me time and so much more.  They can happy it really depends on their mood or the reason they want to be alone.  They could be happy to be alone to just appreciate things or they could be sad by being depressed.

What happened in his past that made him dislike bringing people around? Why does he live alone at the Lighthouse? How does he feel?  Create a backstory for the Lighthouse Keeper

It may not seem like it but John (The lighthouse keeper)  was once a social person.  He enjoyed the people around him.  He always thought of it as Him and his daughter against the world.  He was like this until his daughter got sick.  Her daughter was diagnosed with Humanity Diclosure Syndrome (Made up)  this is when she can't be around people.  People had been coming and visiting her in the hospital but little did they know that it really is making it worse.    But he didn't know about this until it was too late.  Once he had found out about this he was angry with everyone and blamed them for his daughter's death.  He then isolated himself from everyone.  So he permanently moved into the lighthouse to be away from everyone and to forever grieving over his daughter's death.
