Topic 8 - Water

 Today on our meeting we learned about water and it's other forms.

First we had to list everything that we knew about water and it's forms. As I know water has three states -

• Liquid (which is the form we know best)
• Solid (we know that as ice)
• Gas (fog and mist)

As I learnt more and more about the cycle of water I became more interested

After that we sorted out 5 pictures of each state into the correct place

Once we had finished that we played Kahoot! All of the questions were about the cycle and forms of water. I won and I had about 7000 points!

There was also a game we played called Solid,Liquid and Gas - States of Matter it was quite interesting

After I played that I had finished!

Topic 6_Science_Weather

 Today I had tech, and my tech class was science. We learned about the weather and everything about it.

Firstly we had to write about what we understand about the weather. Here is my document about it- https://docs.google.com/document/d/18mblUv3bC6f6ZCspzUa3Pi4mwEB9dX9FXrxhoqd3B1A/edit?usp=sharing

And after that we had to list about the temperature, wind humidity and dew of the times of the day. We used this link to see what the weather was, and we wrote it on the document-https://weather.com/en-NZ/weather/today/l/NZXX0049:1:NZ

The last activity we had to do was about the different types of weather and what they look like, to understand what weather it is when we need it-https://weather.com/en-NZ/weather/today/l/NZXX0049:1:NZ

Graphic Organiser Template - NASA finds Water on the Moon! 2020

 Talofa lava everybody. Today really early in the morning I decided to do some home learning. I wanted to do space. Miss Nees Kairua gave us activities and now I am finding out if there is water on the moon or not. Here is my my work-

Do you believe there is water on the moon?

Do you want to become an astronaut?

If you want check out this website to find out more about finding water on the moon

Have a good day!

Monday 21/9/20 Plants in space

 Today in class we carried on with our Science -  Plants in space. Here is my first activity-

This Activity was about our knowledge about photosynthesis and what it matches. I knew that A was light energy because the sun is the light and it's rays of energy reflects onto the plant. C was water HPO because when you put water into the ground it goes into the roots and grows the plant. Oxygen o2 is D because plants give us Oxygen o2 and Carbon Dioxide Co2 is B because it breathes it in.

Once I finished that I needed to move onto my next activity. Here it is-

What does a plant need?

Macro nutrients: Nitrogen, Phosphorus

• and Potassium. Plants absorb more of

  these than any other nutrient.

• Micro nutrients: Plants require less

of these, including: boron, calcium,

copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc.

• Light

• Carbon Dioxide

• Oxygen

• Water

• Nutrients

This activity was all about the things plants need to grow. These are all the basics so it was really easy.

I have a few more activities to share and here they are-

Soil Free, Care Free?

Hydroponic crops are grown bigger, faster and in less area than a traditional field could yield. They can be grown indoors, underground, at high elevations or even on board the International Space Station.

Maintaining a hydroponic system can be costly however, and requires engineering to ensure water, nutrients and oxygen are always available.

Answers:

1. It makes it more easier to water because it grows bigger and faster. A farmer doesn’t need to have a big land. 

2. They can be grown indoors.

Here is one slide. It isn't really an activity but here is something-

Why use hydroponics?

Plants can grow in more than just soil.

Hydroponic (water) and Aeroponic

(air or mist) based systems have existed

since the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

William Frederick Gericke promoted

the value of soil-free agriculture in

1929, coining the term from the Latin:

Hydro (water) + Ponic (work).

That is all I have done for the day. Thank you!
