VIR Rules

 Hey everyone welcome back today we had to show you the rules to voltage I hope you enjoy and like the things I am showing you have a wonderful day good bye 



Voltage Rules: 
The voltage in series have to split in components and in parallel they stay the same everywhere 



here are the circuits 

Series 




Parallel






 Current Rules: Series stays the same every where and the Parallel They change 

(I only took a screenshot with one ammeter in it)

Current 


Parrellel



Definition of Current:
Current is how quickly the electrons move they are measured in amps and the symbol is a I


Definition Of Voltage: It is how much energy the electrons are carrying, they are measured in volts and the symbol Is V


Definition of Resistance: It is used to slow/resist flow of electrons(Current) They are Measured in OHMS and the symbol is R

Science-Static Electrically

 Hey everyone welcome back today in Hurumau 4 we are learning about electricity and now we have to answer some questions I hope you enjoy good bye.



1. What are three partials that make up everything?which ones has a positive charge what has a negative charge?
The three partials are- Protons,Neutrons, Electrons, 
Protons have a positive and electrons have a negative



2. Objects want to be "Electrically neutral" What does that mean?
It wanted to be balanced so the positives and the negatives make it even  

3. When you rub an two insulators you can get a static shock so what is an insulator and a conductor?
A insulator doesn't pass on Electricity and a conductor does


4. What is an example of static electricity?
rubbing you shoes on the carpet can get your body to collect extra Electrons so your hair frizzes up

Science- Filtration

 Hey everyone welcome back today in science we are learning about filtering, we will be learning about some of the key words then we will be doing a experiment. I hope you enjoy My Blog have a wonderful day Good-Bye 

Key words:
Filtering- Separating things based on their size. It only works if we have different sized particles. in other words only insoluble particles can be used while filtering. 

Experiment:

In today's Experiment we will be making a mixture then separating it 

Chemicals we used:
A chemical named Copper Sulfate Which is light blue, it a liquid and its transparent
We also used a Chemical called sodium carbonate which is Colourless its a liquid and its translucent

What we used:
Conical flask
Funnel
Beaker 
Filter Paper
String rod 

Hypothesis:
I think it might separate because they are both two different chemicals so they might have different things in it. I think we will have a mixture of colours when we combine them and when we separate them they will go a lighter shade of the colour it turns when we mix it 

Method:

1. Pour approximately 50mL of copper sulfate solution into a beaker.

2. Add the same volume of sodium carbonate solution. A reaction will happen, you should see a cloudy blue precipitate form. Called copper carbonate. 

3. Watch demo then fold filter paper to fit inside the funnel

4. Place the funnel with the filter paper inside of it, into the mouth of a conical flask. 

5. Stir the mixture in the beaker, then carefully pour it into the funnel.  6. Observe what happened


Observation and discussion:

When we were mixing the chemicals they became a dark blue and we couldn't see through it and then when we were filtering it we went clear and see through. At the end the two chemicals swapped so the copper sulfate became copper carbonate which is what stayed at the top and didn't go through the filter and the sodium carbonate became sodium sulfate. 


Here are photos of them

Our experiment

 Hey everyone welcome back to my blog. today in science we did our first experiment and we were also learning about things that dissolve and a lot of other things as you can see below. I hope you enjoy my blog. Have a wonderful day, Good-Bye. 



2 things that dissolve 
1. Raro ( with water)
2. sugar 

2 things that don't dissolve 
1.  Rocks 
2. Chairs


3 ways we can speed up dissolving
1. heat things up 
2. make them smaller
stirring


When we did the experiment 
we had 3 beakers. two of them had warm water in them and one other had cold water in it. once we had all the water we put a teaspoon of sugar in them and then we had to leave one warm water one to see how long it took and stir the other two. the fastest one to dissolve was the warm water one.

Egg drop challenge

 Hey everyone today in science we were learning how to make a egg not brake while dropping it from a high level. and then we had to make a holding place to put the egg in to protect it. here are some photos we took of them. 

As you can see our egg didn't brake. 

I think the egg didn't brake because of how the bubble wrap was wrapped around it.

I hope you have enjoyed this blog post. 
Have a good day 
Good-Bye

Aim: To learn practical ways of recycling so that we can make our world a better place.



How can we prevent climate change though recycling these products?

Plastics: Prevents us from burning it and it doesn't release carbon dioxide 
Cycling or walking: You save the planet because using you car uses gas and It gets in the air 
Paper: When you make paper you cut done trees and oxygen 
Steel: We can stop using coal to burn down steel and reusing it makes it not release carbon dioxide 


Video questions:


What is Zero Waste?
It is one of the quickest and cheapest ways a community can immediately reduce climate impact. 
What can we do on the planet?

  1.   Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair
  2.   Stop feeding land fills 
  3.  Start feeding the soils 
  4.  If we use zero waste each time we shut down a carbon dioxide factory 
What do we need to recycle?
Plastic, Steel and  Paper
What does recycling do?
Saves the planet because we don't release carbon dioxide so the planet doesn't heat up as fast 
How much of our rubbish is food scraps?
90,000
What does soil do to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
When plants die the soil brakes down and takes the carbon dioxide and keeps it in the soil 
What do we need to do?
  1. Make P_____product____s. 
  2. Have Zero ___Waste________

What is a carbon footprint?

Something that we use to with carbon dioxide 

How can you make your Carbon Footprint smaller?

by not throwing out as much rubbish and going in a car as much 

1.Turn the light of in a room when i leave it 
2. Not use as much electricity 
3. Walk to places

Science Week 6 Day 6



The Water Cycle: Bag 1
CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2
Acid
Desert Water Cycle
Bag 3
Does it cycle?
Yes YesYes
Amount of Water
222
Acidity
121

Other comments:



Conclusion:

For our science we had to do a science solo thing that we had to do we had 10 hexagons and had to connect them. So we started with evaporation and connected Freshwater, Carbon Dioxide, Oceans Water Vapor. Then we went onto condensation and connected Precipitation, Storms, Flooding, Hurricanes To It 






Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:
  1. Precipitation the action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
  2. Hurricanes a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
  3. Storms a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow.
  4. Evaporation 
    the process of turning from liquid into vapour.
  5. Carbon Dioxide a colourless, odourless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 per cent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
  6. Water a colourless, odourless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 per cent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
  7. Oceans a very large expanse of sea, in particular each of the main areas into which the sea is divided geographically.
  8. Water vapour aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of waterwater vapor is invisible.
  9. Freshwater of or found in fresh water; not of the sea.
  10. Flooding the covering or submerging of normally dry land with a large amount of water.

Science Week 3 day 5

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.








Scientific words:


  • Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
  • Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
  • Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
  • Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
  • Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

Bag 1: Normal Water cycle
Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change
Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change

Material:

  1. Plastic Bag 
  2.  Vivid Marker 
  3.  1 cup water 
  4.   2 drops food colouring ( Colour Blue)

Science Week 2 Day 4

Image result for coal mining

Image result for oil rig

Aim: To look at how fossil fuels are contributing to climate change and how we can prevent this.

Definition of Fossil Fuels:
a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.


Questions I Have To Answer

What is our greatest threat in thousands of years?
Answer:Climate Change and us having no world left


How do we see climate change affecting the globe?
  1. Floods  
  2.  Storms
  3. Higher Sea Levels
  4.  Air Pollution

What is needed to change history?
The Answer Is To Stop Polluting the air and water with stuff that can pollute our world


Is climate change a man made disaster?
Yes Climate Change is a man made disaster. Because we are making it happen.


Dramatic action must be made in the next _10_ years to change it?


Why is our climate changing?
Because of us Polluting the air and the sea


What is causing the warming trend of the climate?
Us Making Things that use power


What is the main problem?
The World Heating Up Each Year


What are examples of these?
1.Pulltion
2.Heat Waves
3. Flooding
4. Hurricanes
5. Tornados
6. Sea Levels rising


Burning fossil fuels releases what gas?
carbon dioxide


How much hotter now is our world?
1 degrees Celsius


What do we call this global warming?
Climate Change


How is this affecting creatures / animals like bats?
It Is Overheating So The Creatures Are Dying


What percentage of species are near extinction?
8%


How could this affect the world ecosystems?
Overview. Climate is an important environmental influence on ecosystems.
Changing climate affects ecosystems in a variety of ways.
For instance, warming may force species to migrate to higher latitudes
or higher elevations where temperatures are more conducive to their survival


What global change was seen and recording breaking last year?
Last year was so hot that global land- and ocean-surface temperatures were 1.42 degrees
Fahrenheit (0.79 degrees Celsius) above the 20th-century average, NOAA reported. Since 1880,
when record-keeping began,
only three years — 2016 (the highest, in part because of El Niño), 2015 and 2017 — were hotter


How is climate change affecting our weather systems?
1. The Water Levels Rising
2.  More Storms
3. Heaver Rain Falling


What is another effect of climate change?
global climate change is now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer,
more intense heat waves.


What will happen if the ice melts in Antarctica and the Arctic?
Hotter weather is also melting ice on land, increasing the volume of water in the ocean.
Scientists are now paying particularly close attention to warming inAntarctica, home to 90 percent of our
planet's ice. If it were all to melt, it would raise sea levels by 190 feet.


How does this affect people?
Our changing climate will affect our economy, environment and way of life.
This page has the climate changes we can expect in New Zealand and the likely impacts.  
It links to information that local government can use to prepare for climate change and actions you can take.


What other things affect oceans change?
  • A Warmer Ocean.
  • Melting of the Poles.
  • Rising Sea Levels.
  • Changes to the Ocean's Major Current Systems.
  • Ocean Acidification.


                                    What does too much heat do to the coral?
Rising Ocean Temperatures Can Kill Corals. Humans are pumping more and
more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. That's trapping excess heat and causing the
surface of the planet to warm. However, surface warming accounts for only about 7 percent
of the excess heat our planet is taking on


Why did some industries not want to stop burning fossil fuels?
Rising Ocean Temperatures Can Kill Corals. Humans are pumping more and more
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. That's trapping excess heat and causing the surface
of the planet to warm. However, surface warming accounts for only about 7 percent of the excess heat our
planet is taking on
