Number of the Day - 772 - 24/9/20

 Today for our maths starters we did Number of the day. My score was 8/10 and the number was 772. 

Here is my work- 

What do you think I should improve on?

You should try it at Number of the day.

Thank you!

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!

Tables Torture - Maths Starters

Today for our maths starters we had to do tables torture.
It was quite hard but fun. Here is my work-

You should try it!!!
Have a good day!
