9/11 - Chemicals and chaos

 Today in chemicals and chaos we had to choose a terrific event that has happened in the past. I chose to research about the 9/11 that had happened on September 11 2001, this event was the worst that had ever happened. So many people had died and apparently, no one survived that was in the building or planes. 

The day was a normal day and everyone was fine then a plane got hijacked and hit the big twin building then 20 min later the small twin building got hit. In the video that I watched there were voicemails of people saying goodbye to their loved ones and say that they loved them. That day was the worst day.

Business & Enterprise kete

 For the past 3 weeks, we have been involved in the B&E kete. My role in this has been CEO, my job was to make sure that everyone knew what they were doing, I had to tell them what they need to do and to make sure that everything is sorted. Our company was called Pacific vibe, our product was Polynesian food such as chopsuey (sapasui), panakeke, fried bread and Otai (watermelon drink). 

My reflection on how the business went overall is that our food was really good and was fresh, our tables were too close to other companies and there were some messes and arguments. My reflection on the B&E overall is the whole thing was amazing and everyone's stall was amazing, most of the stalls were already sold out cause they didn't have much stuff.

Here are the photos from the day:

Expands - Hurumanu 3

 In science web, we have been looking into conduction and expansion. We had to make a stop motion about one of the topics (expansion, conducts, convection). We had to show an example of the topics, we had to make it clear so that others could tell what was happening in the slide.

In this slide, we chose to do the expansion, for the example the tube is cold and the ball doesn't fit, then once the tube is heated it expands and the ball fits. The heat gives the tube energy which the energy makes the tube expand and makes it big.

Dissection - Inside & Out

Yesterday in biology we learnt different part of the human body and how each work. This week we were learning how the blood flows through the body and how the heart is contributed to this. The test we had for the lesson was to cut open a pigs heart and find the things inside the heart that makes it pump the blood through the body.

The heart is one of the most important parts of the body, the reason is that it pumps the blood right through the body so that each part of the body works.

Here is the different part of the heart and what they do:

Heart - A hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body.

Atrium - Upper chamber of the heart that receives blood. 

Ventricle - Bottom part of the heart, V-shaped pumps blood away from the heart.

Aorta - Takes blood away from the heart to the rest of the body, largest artery.

Vena cava - A large vein carrying deoxygenated blood into the heart from the body.

Circulatory system - System that transports gases and nutrients around the body, using the heart, vessels and blood.

Here is some photos and videos of our dissection:

Flaky mini pastry savouries - home economics

Today in cooking as you can tell from the title we had made mini pastry savouries. These were really easy and simple. These turned out well and we worked really well. So here is the recipe,  method, sensory, evaluation, conclusion and photos:

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• pinch salt and pepper
• 1T milk
• Cheese, ham and tomatoes 

Method:

1. Using pastry cutters cut circles to fit patty pans. Chill in fridge
2. Mix: 1 egg, pinch of salt, 1T milk.
3. Whisk together with a fork
4. Transfer egg mixture to a measuring cup
5. Place some thawed peas and corn in each pastry case
6. Carefully pour egg mixture into each case. Don't spill any
7. Bake at 200℃ for 8-10 minutes
8. Cool and eat

Sensory evaluation:

The outer part of the pastry was light, fluffy and flakey which is what we were going for. The inside was where the egg, cheese and ham, they were cooked really well and they tasted delicious. The outside was a nice golden brown and the egg looked like it was cooked well.

Conclusion:

This week had turned out well just like last week and we had worked really well and had already gone into things without fighting over who was doing what. We had automatically done the work and had no fights and had just worked as what a team should.

Arthritis research

This week in inside and out we are in science, so today we are going to be looking at arthritis. Here is a slide on all about arthritis:

What are the causes of arthritis?

A cut in the normal amount of this cartilage tissue causes some forms of arthritis. Normal wear and tear, one of the most common forms of arthritis. An infection or injury to the joints can increase this natural breakdown of cartilage tissue.

Can everyone get arthritis?

 It is not an assured condition. Risk factors increase the likelihood you will develop arthritis, but people can develop the disease who have none of the known risk factors.

Who is most likely to get arthritis?

 The risk of many types of arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout increases with age and your sex. Women are more likely than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis, while most of the people who have gout, another type of arthritis, are men.

What are the two most common types of arthritis?

Two common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful, degenerative joint disease that often involves the hips, knees, neck, lower back, or small joints of the hands.

What are ways to prevent arthritis?

• Exercise
• Avoid injury
• Protect your joints
• See your doctor

How is it treated?

Treatment of arthritis usually includes rest, occupational or physical therapy, exercise, drugs, and sometimes surgery to correct joint damage. Treatments for osteoarthritis usually can help relieve pain and stiffness, but the disease may continue to progress.

Workshop 1 - Inside and out

Theme & ideas - Continuous ideas/subject that links throughout the text

'looks can look deceiving' - Don't judge a book by its cover, don't judge by appearance

Examples  1:

- Character Wybyie: when we first met him he seems scary (mask, motorbike) (use of high angle shot) (music really scary and loud) but in reality he's just a weird neighbour.

- Shows theme because like other characters, our first impressions based on appearance, tone, visual techniques aren't always correct.

- Important because helps the audience understand with Coraline that just because something looks good doesn't mean it is, she should choose the real world over the other world.

Example 2:

- Character the other mother: she seems normal/friendly at the start but by the end, she becomes a devouring spider demon.

- Shows theme because 'Other mother' isn't what she appears to be at the start so we shouldn't judge by first impressions.

- Important because Coraline realises that having something that looks perfect isn't always a good thing.

S - statements: In Coraline,  the theme 'looks can be deceiving' is used effectively to engage the audience

E - evidence: For instance, the character of the 'Other Mother' shows us that looks can be deceiving because she starts off as a kind mother figure but gradually changes into a soul-devouring demon spider.

X - explanation/audience: This makes us understand, that we shouldn't judge a character based on first impressions as they can often be wrong.

X - explanation/director: This was done to, help Coraline decide between the real world and the other world. If the 'Other Mother' was really perfect Coraline wouldn't choose to go home.

X - explanation/other techniques (shots/angles, music, setting, lighting/colour): Combined with, is the use of colour and lighting. The 'Other Mother' first appears in a vibrantly bright room that makes us feel warm and safe. However, by the end, it has become dark and green which makes the viewer feel scared and shows that the first looks were deceiving.

Y - Your link: This can be juxtaposed to the character of Wybie who we think at first is evil but is actually kind, proving looks can be deceiving.
