GRAVITY

Hello, guys today I will be sharing facts and some questions about gravity. For science, we have been working on different topics every week, this week is gravity involved questions and activities. Gravity is the force keeping us on the ground instead of us floating like we would be in space. 

QUESTIONS: 

Is gravity the same on all planets? No because of it alters in size and mass of the planet, for example, Jupiter has the most gravity in the solar system and Mercury is the smallest planet and the closest to the Sun it has less gravity in the solar system.

How is gravity related to mass? More mass means more gravity Mercury as I said before has less amount of mass so that means it has less gravity in the solar system.  

Which planet would you weigh the most on and the less? Again if you were on Jupiter you would weigh more and if you were on Mercury you would weigh less. It all depends on the mass. 

How would your life be different if you lived on a planet with higher gravity or lower gravity? It would be hard to live on planets like Jupiter because you would be pushed down by the less amount of gravity. But if you lived on a planet like Mercury it would still be harder because you would probably be floating around.

Bonus Question: Why do things float on water, shouldn't gravity pull it down? For Example, let's use a boat at the bottom of the boat it is filled with air and let's say that we could make a boat out of the water the boat would float because the water is denser.      

Bonus Question: What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass: If you have more protons, neutrons and electrons in an object this would be measured by mass. Weight: If you consider an object interacting with Earth, this force is called the weight.

   

Parihaka INVASION

Hi, guys today for social studies we had to make a DLO and answer some questions about the invasion of 1600 thousand troops and evicting them out of the homes of the peaceful Parihaka people. Parikhaka is located in the North Island near Taranaki. So here is my DLO and some answer to my questions, hope you like it.  

Here are some of the questions I needed to answer about the event. 

How long were Te Whiti and Tohu imprisoned? Where? What did they intend to do when they returned to Parihaka? 
After Te Whiti and Tohu were imprisoned for there, act of passive resistance for six months and then had a been moved to the south island. Later were released in 1883. Again in 1886 after going back to Parihaka and continuing with the peaceful protest, Te Whiti was arrested for six months. But sadly in 1907 both Tohu died and months later Te Whiti died.     

What was the impact on Māori when of the New Zealand Company and other representatives of "The Crown" confiscated or purchased land very cheaply from Māori? What happened to Māori who lost their land? Where and how did they live?                                                                                   
The Maori soon would’ve realised that they made a mistake. And that in the end, they were just helping the marketer. The Maori were forced to move immediately. The iwi and groups of people travelled together to Parihaka.

How do you think the New Zealand wars impacted on iwi and groups of people who were no longer able to live on their Whenua? 
It impacted them because they were evicted; they must have been confused, and the first ones to be kicked out wouldn’t have known where Parihaka is. They had to leave everything they owned behind.   

What other ways are there to solve significant issues between people/countries that do not use violence as a way of controlling others or solving problems?
Referendums are a vote from a group, country and more. This helps by getting an average of what people want and what is best.
Non Cooperation is when refuse or fail to cooperate, which is a form of protest. Sometimes non-cooperation means obeying the law or rules. This has been established in India by Gandhi.    

Who are some of the other world leaders who have used passive resistance? What was their cause, and how is/was it peaceful? 
Gandhi was and still is known for his passive resistance/nonviolent protesting for the freedom of India and is known now for his excellent leadership and very spiritual.   
Martin Luther King Juinor has been known for his civil rights leadership in the 1960s. He imagined a world where their colour of skin would never judge his children.
Rose Park, a woman, fighting for her equal rights in colour by not giving up her seat to a white person to sit. That started her protest and kept fight until in the 1960s when civil rights equalised. 
Malala wrote in her diary she wanted girls to stay in education and how she wanted all girls to get to school. She is well-known for fighting for learning, but the Taliban didn’t like this. The soldiers shot her, but she survived the attack.

SCIENCE

 Hi, guys today I will be sharing what I have been doing for science. For science, we have been working on coding and how to use a sphero by using blocks. There are three ways to make a sphero move one way is block coding which we used another way was to draw how you want to move your sphero to move and third is writing down by text and see the result. Sadly our pictures are not downloading I will update it when it is downloaded. BYE!   

Here is how you control your sphero by just moving that big blue dot around. 

 Here is a sphero.

Gold Rush Discovery

Hi, guys today I will be sharing what we have been learning for social studies. For social studies, we are working on the 1861 gold rush and basically, we are doing a conclusion about we have learned through this subject. 

What are 4 things I discovered while learning about the Gold Rush in 1861: I learnt that there were not many women doing gold mining for the reason of there husbands working and the wifes staying at home and doing the housework. The gold brought a lot of popularity and thousands of people from around the country and all around the world came to be rich but not much became rich and successful. But the living space was not so good it was very hard it the winter periods to stay warm and dry. It would take weeks to need supplies to arrive. Some men lived in tents and shacks, some were so dispirited they lived in caves. It became the biggest city in New Zealand with miners. Was the one who began the gold rush in 1861 near the Tuapeka River. One day he spotted gold in his pan. He even quoted “Shining like a star in Orion on a dark frosty night”

What are 4 things you have learnt about the Chinese immigrants that came to New Zealand: I learnt a lot about the miners and the immigrants that came especially, Chinese immigrants. They play a huge roll in the gold rush time not that they were miners but because they left their homes and families to one day be rich by finding gold. There were also well known in Chinese communities. Around 5000 Chinese miners moved to New Zealand in the gold rush time. They were paid less and there were about 7000 Chinese miners. From 1907 all Chinese people who arrived had to take an English reading test, from 1908 Chinese who wanted to leave the country temporally needed to re-entry permits which were thumb printed. There was a common belief that the Chinese carried infections disseise and were unhygienic.      

Discrimination is: when being hated for your nationality, race, sex, gender identity, past life chooses, criminal record or just simple lifestyles. It sometimes means not fitting into social groups and being bullied in different ways. The Chinese were actually believed to threaten to swamp the European population.
