Term 2 Reflection!!!!

Term 2 Reflection

This term we learnt about sound. There were many things I did and learnt about Sound. What I did know is that sound travels in sound waves. Sound waves travel through the air it has an average velocity of 343 meters per second. What I learnt about sound is how we hear sound, and it travels through our Ear Canal and hits the Eardrum, then it makes the Hammer vibrate so it makes the Anvil vibrates and then the Stirrup vibrates and continues vibrating through the Cochlea and through the nerves and connects to the brain.

Every Thursday class 3 and 5 go to Technology at Tamaki College and I love it. I have just finished Food Tech were you bake, cook and I just think it is the bomb. We made Fried Rice, Cookies, and a whole lot more. Right now I’m in Graphics where we draw, sketch, design and it’s cool. We have three rotations in Technology it is Food Tech, Graphics, and last but not least Hard Materials. Hard Materials is my last rotation for 2014.

I like Maori because I’m in the Senior Kapa Haka and it is the bomb. Recently we went to a opening for a Dental Program. We also have Maori with our Maori teacher, and we are learning to count in Maori Recently I was at a marae performing and I wasn’t nervous at all. There was many waiata to learn, and I mastered them with some help. Every year the Senior Kapa Haka goes to that marae in Glen Innes.

Can’t wait to tell you how awesome this term has been.

How to make a Pan Flute!!!!!!

What I’ll need is eighteen straws, one roll of tape, one per of scissors, two felts and one vivid, and one ruler. Just what I need to create my Pan Flute. I get the first straw and place it down and leave it then I get another one and cut two or five centre

meters down from each other. I keep doing it until the ninth one.

Then I get the tape and leave a gap and then tape it and cut it with the scissors. I do that until I reach to the bottom. Then I get the vivid and felts and I do curls. I’ll do whatever design that I wont on the front and back.

So now I have nine straws left what do I do with them you think? I make another Pan Flute and tape the straws together. Then I have two Pan Flutes. I put them together and it is my one and only double Pan Flute.

So when my teacher ask me what have you made and have you copied anyone? I’ll say I have made an instrument and I didn't copy at all. Since it is a class thing that everyone had do. Hopefully no one copied me.

Have a great day and comment if you ever get to make your own Instrument.

Science Road Show!!!!!!!

This very exciting thing happened to class five, and two from Pt England School. We went to Tamaki College to see the Science Road Show and man something's were awesome and some weren't. An hour and a half is how long we would be there for. By the way a whole lot of other Point England students said that some of the things they do are loud, awesome, yuck and creative.

Have you ever been to a Science Road Show before? I havn’t. I just couldn't wait to see their creative things that they had made. So sitting down in front of the speakers who tells you what they are going to do and things they will do. There was three people in the Science Road Show and they got me interested.

First there was some experiment’s they did in front of us. Also there were some things that they set up for us and they looked incredible. Then everyone got into and had a great time with their experiment’s and my all time favourite was where there was three mirrors and it looked like there was twenty mirrors and a lot of me’s.

Then the last experiment they did was with balloons. They put it on fire and we had to cover our ears. POP!!!!!!!! Man that is loud but that was just the first balloon out of two. The last one was so loud you could hear it even when you cover your ears. You could feel the heat bursting onto you.

I learn't that plants are kind of like us but they grow using heat, water, and carbon dioxide to breath. It is pretty much the same why we grow.

They said that it was the end of the Science Road Show and they’ll be at Motat.

What I learn't about sound

There is a game that we play because this term we are learning about Sound. There is a string that you can pick and you have to match the sound waves to be the same. It is very easy but also makes you know what the sound waves match our don’t. It is a very good game for sound.

Sound Writing

There is a Science Investigation game that we played and I learn’t that the wider the drum the lower the sound will be. I had some questions to answer like witch drum makes a low sound and witch drum makes a high sound? The answer was that the smaller the drum the higher the sound will be. There are sound waves right now in the air but we can’t see them we hear them.
