Our New Kāhui - Tīeke

On Monday we got to go into our new classrooms. It took 2 years to build our new classrooms and the learning commons. Suprisingly enough it costed 27 MILLION DOLLARS!! To build the 3 classrooms and the learning commons. When I got to school we got a talk to from the Principal Mr Sutton. Mr Sutton talked to us about the rules and what they were called.

Mr Tisch my teacher walked us over to the new buildings. We got to the door of the classroom me and my class are going to be going in. When I walked into the new classrooms I saw

Laser Work Tech

Hi random person looking at my blog! At design tech we have been working on laser cutting.

At laser work i did a athletics track my name and a photo of me.

I liked doing laser work because i can make whatever design i want.

But its easier because the laser cutter is faster.

I love it because you go on google and find any image you want and the laser cutter will do it for you.

This is a awesome tech class i will put my design on my cabinet or my wall.

FLIGHT

Aim: To learn about flight and aerodynamics. 

• In your groups of 3 you will make a paper plane and measure its distance and behaviour.
• In groups of 3 you will make a water rocket and record its distance and behaviour.

Conclusion:

Today you will be a Forensic Chemist. 

A bag of white powder has been confiscated by the airport customs.  You need to find out what white powder it is?

Aim: To learn about the makeup of different white powders.



There are  a number of different white powders in our everyday life. Some of these are harmful and others are not. Test the four white powders listed to see which one has been found at the airport.

You will be given a small amount of 4 white powders on your cardboard. On the black cardboard using a magnifying glass look at the powders.

Look at them under your magnifying glass and record what you see. 

These are the four powders we will be using. Upload a photo of each powder. 

1.  Cornflour
2.  Baking Soda
3.  Salt
4.  Sugar 

Before you add the iodine, vinegar or water you will need to divide each powder into 3.

Do all the same experiments on the mystery white powder. What is it?

W.A.L.T Round numbers to the nearest 10, 100 & 1000

Aim: To make a filtration plant using household materials.

Water Filtration Plant

What is filtration?

Filtration is separating solids from liquids by adding a medium through which only the liquid can pass. 

Examples are:

1.  fillter in a fish tank
2.  oil fillter
3.  pool
4. dirty thins

Materials

1. cup 

2. bottle

3. fillter paper 

4. sand

5. stone

6. water

7. 

Process - ( use verbs or doing words in each step )

Step 1

Cut the bottle.....

Step 2

Put the top half upside down .......

STEP 3

Add layers of ....

STEP 4

Get 1 cup of dirty water .......

STEP 5

Pour dirty water into ......

Findings

Write a short sentence about the water every 1 minute. 

Include 'How much water has filtered through', 'How fast it is dripping through', and 'How clear the water is'.

Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Crystal video

Definition of solution: 

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water) 

Definition of saturated: 

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)

In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.
