Growing seeds

Aim: To look at the different growing conditions and how these affect the growth of seeds.  

Method: We worked in groups of 3-4 studentsPotting mix was put into the cups.The cups were planted with radish seeds.Each cup had different growing conditions:Cup 1 - normalCup 2 - red cellophaneCup 3 - overwateredCup 4 - Under watered or green cellophane

The plants grew in their cups for 10 days before they were measured. 

Plant growing condition	Height after 10 days (mm)
Normal	50mm
Green cellophane	0
Red cellophane	0
Overwater	50mm

The normal seedling was planted in normal potting mix and grew to a height of _________mm.
The green cellophane seedling was planted in normal potting mix, covered in green cellophane and watered. It grew to a height of ________mm. The red cellophane seedling was planted in normal potting mix............. to a height of ___________mm. The overwatered seedling was planted in normal potting mix, the water could not drain out the bottom of the pot and it grew to a height of ______mm
Conclusion:
From the pictures and evidence, we can conclude that:
The seedling height was:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The best growing conditions were:
1. normal
2.
3.
4.
therefore the seedling with _____________ conditions grew to a height of _________mm.

TEC

For the last week in Tec, we have been making 3 piece puzzle we have drawn some designs on paper. and now I am making the 3 piece puzzle. to make a hole in the timber I had to use a power drill and then chisil it out so another piece fits.

Traditional Tales

I have been learning about is Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby I Have made my own Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby I have made my Tar Baby out of clay.

The story is about  Brer Fox fooling Brer Rabbit by making a fake Tar Baby
Brer Rabbit saw the fake Tar Baby on the sidewalk and tried to talk to him but the Tar Baby didn't reply to Brer Rabbit. and then Brer Rabbit punched the fake Tar Baby and his hand got stuck in the Tar Baby face. cunning Brer Rabbit pleads to Brer Fox not to throw him in the briar patch. Brer Fox throws Brer Rabbit in the briar patch but As Rabbit are at home in the Briar Brer Rabbit escapes.
Rabbit are used to living a rough life from being in the woods and Brer Rabbit fooled Brer Fox into throwing him into the Briar Patch.       

The Uncle Remus folklore story was written by Joel Chandler Harris 

    

Transport in Plants Science

Aim: To observe xylem tissue and prove that they transport water up the plant.

Method: 
1. make a cut across the base of celery stalk to expose a new section of the stem. 

2. fill the Petri dish with water and add a few drops of food coloring. 

3. place the celery stalk in the Petri dish and gently clamp it in place using the retort stand, boss head, and clamp. 

4.  leave the stalk undisturbed for 24 hours

5. remove the stalk from the clamp and petri dish. cut the stem about 1/3 of the way up the stem.

Refraction through Lenses

one of the most import uses of refraction uses of refraction involves lenses. by controlling how much and in what direction, light bends we are able to see heat objects and send information. A lens is simply a refracting object with a curved surface. the two main types of lenses are convex and concave.

Aim: to investigate how different types of lenses refract light.
 

    

Refraction

Aim: to investigate how light is affected by changing the substance it is traveling through.
Equipment: ray, box power source glass or perspex block single-slit ray slide.
Method: collect the equipment from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.
10°

reflection WK2 T2

T2  WK2:

Aim: to investigate the reflection of light rays in concave and convex mirrors

method: set up your ray box triple-slit ray slide and power supply.

place the mirrors on your book as indicated below. place the ray box at the top of the page and shine the 3 rays of light at the mirror.

ensure that the middle ray of light is hitting the mirror at 90° angle.

carefully trace the direction of the three incident rays and the three reflected rays.





Result: with the concave mirror, the light reflected in the other direction, and with the convex mirror the light reflected outwards.

scince week 2 2018

Aim: to investigate how light behaves when it hits a plane (flat) mirror

Method: 1. collect a ray box, power supply and single-slit ray slide from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.

2. place a plane mirror on the diagram of the protractor as described below.

3. vary the angle of incidence and record the angle of reflection in the results table.


Results: the angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection

(10° angle of incidence)

This is my static image above and my commentary below.

Static Image Commentary

My static image portrays the idea that Martha is locked in the attic and she is calling for help because her dad has locked her in there as disobeyed the rules. They are frightened that she going to tell the family secret.  

The visual elements include a dominant image of old stairs leading into a dark room. This represents the stairs leading up to the attic to Martha’s room. I made it three dimensional so it’s eye-catching.  The stairway is all dark and gloomy which represents Martha ’s boring life. She is not allowed clothes from the shops and her mum makes them. She isn’t allowed friends over.

I have used the colors black with a little white The black represents Martha being rebellious. It also shows aggression as her dad hits her and locked her in her room. It also represents fear, as it is fear of her father and fear that her parents might see the sign and she will never get free from them. as they represent a dark room (attic). The small bits of white represent that there is a little bit of hope as Scott may find her sister and rescue Martha.

The quotation  I have chosen is ‘I’m locked in the attic, help, tell the police. It is relevant to my image because Martha was locked in her room and needed help. The quotation is in green as the color green has healing power and growth as when Martha is rescued she will be free and be able to heal all her past hurts and have new growth.

11/05/2018

Today in English I was on Stuff site and I read about a waikato tractor driver  clocked almost 200 hours in  the two weeks before his death. 

An agricultural company was sentenced at the Huntly District Court after one of its workers died in a tractor crash after clocking up a 17 hour work day (file photo).

A North Waikato tractor driver was so tired after a 200 hour working fortnight he drove off the road to his death.

The Micheal​ Vining Contracting Ltd worker clocked up 197.25 hours in the two weeks leading up to the crash.

In October 2016, the driver was helping with harvesting operations on a farm in Pukekawa. He logged a 16.75 hour day before leaving the farm, taking a tractor home in preparation for the next day's work.

At 2.45am he crashed the tractor and died as a result of his injuries. The driver was also not wearing a seatbelt.

A WorkSafe investigation found that fatigue was the most likely cause of the accident. 

The agricultural company was sentenced in the Huntly District Court.

"Getting the job done is important, but not if the hours required to do it put workers at risk of injury or death," WorkSafe Deputy General Manager, Investigations and Specialist Services, Simon Humphries, said in a statement. 

The company had a health and safety document prepared for them in January 2016, Humphries said.

It identified fatigue as a high-rating hazard and outlined management steps including the monitoring of work hours and break times.

"This document had not been reviewed or implemented. The warning was there and the company did nothing about it.

"Seasonal work and tasks like harvest can put a huge amount of pressure on everyone involved.  Managing the risks is essential. The life, health and wellbeing of your workers must be your number one priority".

Micheal​ Vining Contracting Ltd was charged with failing to ensure, so far as was reasonably practicable, the health and safety of its workers.

The company was fined $10,000, however, the court indicated that a $325,000 was appropriate. Reasons why this amount was not imposed was suppressed by the court. 

Reparation of $80,000 and costs of $2656.50 were ordered

[English Translation:]

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

I am the mountain, you are the sea flowing toward me

You are the river that runs through me, I am her she is me

Created from dust and sand, born to lead this land

Where we come from we were made to be strong

Our legacy will carry on

And if a piece of home

Resonates in your soul

Your journey will take you

Where you belong

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

[RIA HALL:]

The heritage of this land is deep, we are it's legacy

I am her warrior, I fight for thee, we have the victory

Born from blood and tears, I am stronger than fear

[TROY KINGI:]

We strive to move to our destiny

we practice more than what we preach

and if a piece of home resonates in your soul

your journey will take you where you belong

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

[NZ NATIONAL ANTHEM – MAISEY RIKA]

God of Nations at thy feet

In the bonds of love we meet

Hear our voices we entreat

God defend our free land!

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

No matter if you're near or far

We come from the land of God

No matter where you belong

We'll fight for your freedom

Modern Māori Quartet feat. Awhimai Fraser 'Māreikura

It’s quite basic

I don’t know what it’s about/lyrics

It’s nice but I can hardly hear the girl.

WAIRUA-Maimoa

It’s looks exciting and fun. Colourful as well

I like that it has a good meaning behind it

English lyrics

The essence of soul and spirit tingles the skin

An essence that isn't truly felt until one opens up

Once confronted by internal debate, a source of life and inspiration springs within you

A spring-well of instinct and a soul that is completely yours

[Chorus]

It is your SPIRIT - may it spread around the world

It is your SOUL - let it fly and soar

Filled with instinct and inspiration that can guide you to your full potential

A little wairua is better than none at all, be it small or large - it is still a gift

Although it may not be tangible, it's a connection blind to the naked eye

Once confronted by internal debate, a source of life and inspiration springs within you

A spring-well of life and soul that is completely yours

It is your SPIRIT - may it spread around the world

It is your SOUL - let it fly and soar

A subtle means of inspiration and spiritual flow that can guide you to your full potential

Stomp clap the beat the beat clap, to the pound pound clap, the beat the beat CLAP!

Stand up and let your wairua guide you!

Kalega

It has quite a nice beat

I like how changes from english to maori throughout the song

I don’t know the english translations for the maori parts.
