Summer Learning Journey Week 3 Day 2

Ki Ora Everyone for the next few weeks I will be posting blog posts continuously for something that is called the Summer Learning Journey. Today I am doing Week 3 Day 2. I will always put the links under this blurb so that you can go to the sites I had.
Links: Sir, Isaac Newton, harles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Katherine Freese, Maria Goeppert Mayer, Sau Lan Wu, Stephen Hawking, Ada Lovelace, Katherine Johnson, ‘Hidden Figures.’
Activity 1. Through Careful Observation

There are many incredible people in history who have changed the world. Some have changed what we know about the world and about how it works. We often call these people ‘scientists’ or ‘theorists.’ Famous scientists include Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Katherine Freese, Maria Goeppert Mayer, and Sau Lan Wu.

Each of these scientists came up with a new theory (idea) about how things work. Much of what they discovered came from observing (watching) things closely.

The image I chose     

            I see Stars and The sky is all swirly. I see waves and the statue of liberty.

Activity 2. Overcoming Adversity

Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) was an English scientist who was interested in studying the origin (beginning) of the universe. When he was just 21 years old, he was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease and, over time, he lost the ability to walk and talk. He needed to use a wheelchair to move around and a computer to help him to talk. The computer made his voice sound a bit funny but, most importantly, it meant he could still communicate with people. Despite his diagnosis, Stephen Hawking lived a long and very productive life. He showed great determination and perseverance because he didn’t let his physical challenges stop him. He didn’t quit. Instead, he ‘overcame the odds’ and achieved a huge amount in his life.

One day my dad decided to by a truck he bought the truck because I said that I could never be a doctor. 

He went out at bought a truck because he wanted to prove there was no such thing as can't 

He over came this by doing his best to get as much done as he can he is still over coming this challange but he is still working on it. 

Bouns Activity.Hidden Figures

Ada Lovelace, born in 1815, is considered to be the ‘first computer programmer’, even though computers had not yet been invented. She was called a computer programmer because she worked out a series of algorithms (instructions) that a machine could use to compute (calculate) difficult maths questions.

Katherine Johnson was another brilliant mathematician who worked with NASA - the North American Space Association. NASA was responsible for sending rockets and people into space. It was Katherine’s job to check all of the calculations that the engineers and astronauts used when designing the spacecraft and flying them into space. In 2016, a movie was made about Katherine Johnson and the other women who worked at NASA during this time. It is called ‘Hidden Figures.’ In the movie, the women had to learn how to do basic coding when NASA started using computers.

Have you ever tried coding?

The Coding app was really good some of the activities got me stumped but I got through them with the help of mum and dad I had a lot of fun on this app and I suggest that many people should use it.
