Leadership Styles

Last week we started a new ' Extra For Experts Kete ' which happens on Wednesdays P1 & P2. What happens is the year 9s are all together and the year 7&8s are separated into three groups until the year 7s have to go to kiwi kaha. Last week we learned a lot of information about different styles and what leadership actually is. We had started a DLO about the 5 different types of leadership which we had to put heaps of information on it. We also took a quiz to see how much of a leader we were and my score was 54 out of 100 which is a pretty good score :) Here is my DLO.

Price

For B&E market day students are selling products so they can make money and see how much profit they can get, my group is selling Gift Bags - Gift bags are bags with gifts in them and the gifts are a surprise.

the price of my Gift bags is $2.50. its just spouse to be fun.

the reason why it is $2.50 is because it is just for fun and we don't want it to be that expensive because of that reason and its not free because we need to make money and make a profit.

Power to the people

 

Today I have made a card showing what you need to do to be able to be voted to be in parliament, we have been working on politics for about 3 weeks and we are learning about how to become the prime minister I am doing this for my power to the people class.

Gift bags

The product i'm doing is Gift bags, The product is designed for people to have fun, The purpose for this is so people can have a bit of a surprise and have fun with the surprises that's inside. The quality of our product is really good people like gift bags because they got sold out last time I did them and I think it would be a good Idea to do it again because I know how to get the people to come to my stand.

The size is Medium the volume is medium and the shape is rectangle, The packing is rectangular shape and the bag is deep, the ingredients/raw materials are Bags, Bubbles, Pom poms, and Lolly's, I don't think it fits in to a product that already exists because you can't find gift bags in the shops already made so I think it doesn't fit under products that already exist, I don't think we need to provide services for our product, I think we have a really good product and I think it will sell out

Energy

Mechanical Energy:

Definition:

The energy of an object due to its motion or position; the sum of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy.

How is mechanical energy made?

 the mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.

What countries use Mechanical energy?
Every country uses it if it has cars anything that is a machine.

What is it used for?

mechanical energy enables that object to apply a force to another object in order to cause it to be displaced.

Power to the people- Structure of NZ Government

Today in power to the people we had to make a drawing of Sturcture of the NZ Government and what we learned about it. 

What I learned was that the Queen isn't in charge of much she is just the head of state as well as Dame pasty Reddy the people that are in charge are the people that go into the beehive such as, The Prime minister or the Mps, they are the ones that also make the laws and then when they have done with the laws they give it to the people to make some then they check it then they debate about it again then when they are do the give it to Dame Pasty Reddy and then if she thinks there good enough laws she signs it then gives it to the queen.

I think this is a good suject because you learn about government and you also get to learn about voting and its a really good thing to learn. Anyway Thanks for reading Byeeee Can you please leave a comment.

The black death-Social Studies

 Fleas and rats spread the black death. Firstly the rat had the black plague because they got bitten by the Fleas because the fleas vomited inside the rat and then the flea bit humans and then it vomited the blood inside you to create the black death. This shows how easy it is to spread the black death throughout Europe. Once humans caught the black death they showed a series of symptoms.

Stir fry- Cooking

Last week we made stir fry for cooking, my group is Mya, Kalea, Nature and me. We put in sesame oil, Broccoli, cauliflower, Soy sauce, Salt, Pepper, Cabbage and Chicken, It was really good to eat but I got food poisoning from it because I didn't cook the chicken properly  so my whole group got food poisoning So I don't trust myself to cook chicken again, anyway, We cooked it then ate it it was good but I felt sick after it.

I enjoyed cooking it and I would cook it again, the sesame oil smelt disgusting I enjoyed cooking thanks for reading byeeeee

Business Studies

 

Social Studies- Hygiene

I learned that chamber pots were the only thing that people could poo and wee in. 

Social Studies- The black death

What was life like in the middle ages? Interestingly, it depends if you are poor or rich. For example rich people got nice things and poor people got nothing. The rich and poor had rats and poo and rubbish in their house. It was disgusting in the middle ages because of the black death and everything that was lying on the ground, no one wanted to live in the middle ages because of all the disgusting things that were there. Itś one of the reasons why the black death spread through Europe.

What makes a Good friend

Friendship is about having fun and playing around and talking about your secrets and if none of that happpens then you need to find a new friend

Teabag Rockets

Today for science we did teabag rockets, Teabag rockets are when you light teabags on fire with lighters/matches.

Aim: To observe convection in real life

Equipment: lighter/matches, teabag, heatmat, scissors

Hypothesis: I think that the teabags are going to fly in the air then disappear when it coolsdown

Steps

1.  get your  scissors and cut the top of your teabag

2. tip out the tea in the teabag and then fold it out and put it carefully on the heatmat

3. carefully with your matches or lighters light your teabag on fire

4. watch your teabag fly away then dissapear when it flys away

5. you can do it with as many as you want

conclusion: I found that it was really easy to do and i would do it again i watched it convect and increace in size then dissapear, convetion is where something heats up and then floats but when something cools down it sinks to the bottom.

Business Studies

This quote means to work hard to accomplish something that you always wanted to do and you worked hard and you know you can do it.

Tsunami

We have been learning about Tsunamis and we watched a movie about A tsunami and how they affect the world we watched a movie and it was called the impossible and it took us like 3 periods to watch it and we have just done a pictograph about it and it took me 10 minutes to do it.

We learned about the biggest Tsunami and it was in alaska in 1958 and it was 530 metres tall it was taller than all the famous landmarks.

Evaporation Experiment

We have been learning about Distillation, Evaporation is when liquid turns into vapour (Gases).

Aim: To evaporate Copper sulfate

Hypothesis: I think it is going to turn into vapour (Gas) and I think it might turn transparent.

Equipment:
Gauze mat
Evaporation bowl
Beaker
Element
Copper Sulfate
Warm water

Method:
1. Put warm water in a beaker
2. put it on a gauze mat on the element
3. Put the beaker on the mat
4. Put the copper sulfate in the evaporation dish
5. put the evaporation dish on the beaker
6. Turn the element on 3
7.Turn it up to 5 till you see it boil
8. when it boils have a look and you will see vapour forming and crystals

Observation:
1. I can see bubbles
2. Dropets are forming
3. Its boiling
4. Steam
5. Crystals forming
6. Bubbles forming


Conclusion:
What I saw was there was crystals forming blue and white and the copper sulfate was disappearing into vapour and gases and the water was boiling and I saw that it was steaming and disappearing to.

Serial Dilution

In class on monday Paige and I done a science experiment, We were learning about Dilution and what it does our science experiment was repeated.

Aim: To make a dilution series to investigate concentration.

Equipment:

A potassium permanganate crystal (KMnO4)

six large test tubes

a plastic transfer pipette

a test tube rack 10ml measuring cylinder

Water

Spatula

Method:

1. Put the 6 test tubes in the rack and label the rack with numbers

2. Using the measuring cylinder, fill the test tube 1 with 10ml of water then fill the empty ones with 5ml of water

3. using your spatula pick up a little bit of KMnO4 in test tube 1

4. carefully mix the water and the KMnO4 together until it has disolved

5. using the pipette carefully take exactly 5ml from test tube 1 and put in test tube 2

6. rinse the pipette throughly to ensure that no purple sollution remains

7. carefully mix test tube 2 and repeat the transfer process, transfering exactly 5ml from the soultion from test tube 2 to test tube 3

8. rinse the pipette again and repeat the transfer process for test tubes 4, 5, and 6

Conclusion/Descussion:

I saw that the colour changed when I kept adding 5ml to test tube 2 3 4 5 and 6 it went from purple to really light pink, The first one was the least dilute because it had the most KMnO4 and the last one was the least dilute because it had the least KMnO4 in it. I think this experiment is really cool and fun I recommend it for ages 10+.
