Algebra in Science - Maths

We have been doing Maths / Hurumanu 5 for 13 weeks now and it's actually our last week doing this. All the different topics that we have been doing is Symmetry, Rotation, Reflection, Algebraic Expression, and etc.

Here is an evidence of the work that we have done on our latest topic. We had to use a Basketball and a Netball and figure out how long it took to pass the ball from one side to the other. Here is the slide that we made:

I think that this Hurumanu was really fun. Mr Carter was a really funny teacher but at the same time, you can learn a lot from him. The topics that he teaches was really interesting as well. If I don't understand something, he makes sure to explain it to me until I get it.

Wonderings - Why are there so many Languages?

Wonderings

Why are there so many Languages?

The main reason why there are so many Languages has to do with the time distance. Groups of people that knows how to speak a certain language might get separated by distance, if that happens, they have to learn and develop a new language. After a long time of being separated and meeting new people, they end up speaking two different languages and might develop more.


What are the most spoken Languages?

The first one was Mandarin Chinese with 1.1 billion speakers. The second one is English with 983 million speakers. Both of these languages mostly have the same amount of speakers which is crazy.

Lemon Power

Hi guys!

This blog post is going to be about something that we did in Science.

Voltage -  Voltage is the energy that electrons get from a power supply. Voltage is used to make electrical components work, like light bulbs.

Current -  The rate of flow of electrical charge across a point.

Aim: To create Voltage out of a lemon.

Method: 
- Roll the lemon out so the inside is liquidy.
- Stick pieces of zinc and copper into the lemon.
- Connect the lemon up to a voltmeter.

Results:
This one got one voltage and the one with the whole group in it go 2.4 voltage.

Discussion:
When we rolled it and made the inside liquidy and released all the acidic charged particles. When the
acidic charged particles keeps on moving around, it created a current. When you connect more lemons together, the more acidic it will get.

Conclusion:
I found this experiment really cool because I didn't think that a lemon could produce that much voltage. When the lemon was all by itself, it only produced 1 voltage. But when the whole class came together, the voltage was up to 2.5 which was equivalent to two batteries.

Making a String Bag - Textile

Hi guys, for today's blog post, I'm going to be showing you guys the String Bag that I made. We started to make this last week and it was pretty easy because I already made one when I was a year 7. 

Here is how it turned out:

Photo montage - Art

For the first two weeks in arts, we have been focusing on making a Photo montage. Photo montage is made out of a lot of photos that is cut and glued in a solid piece of paper.

Here is the Montage that I made during the first week:

The photo is tilted.
