Nutrition Research

Hi, guys today I will be sharing what I have been doing in science, we have worked on how the body moves, reproduction, respiration and now we are work on nutrition. One of the topics is water, some of the questions we had to answer we why is water so important and what are the benefits of water. Here is a poster I made from Canva about Water. Hope you enjoy it BYE. 

Heart Dissection

Hi, guys today I will be sharing what I have been doing for Hurumanu 4. We had to dissect a sheep's heart. We are working on the circulatory system, this helps us breathe and produce blood. We are going to learn about the Heart and lungs. I am going to share my method and aim. 

Aim: To look at the structure of the Heart. 

Method: Gloves, Scalpal, Wax tray, Scissors, Tweezers, Clean supplies, News Paper, A sheep heart.   

Steps: 

1. Put newspaper on the table 
2. Get a tray
3. Put on gloves
4. Grab one scissor, tweezer and scalpal 
5. Get all the equipment setup
6. Get one person to go get the heart
7. Try to remove all white excess 

Results: The dissection was fun I enjoyed it because I found out a lot about the inside of a sheep heart. We cut out the fat then cut out the aorta also known as the left chamber. When we opened the heart they're were a lot of strings or fibre that helps keep the heart in the shape it is. We found the pulmonary arteries that send blood to our lungs. Here is a diagram. BYE 

 

9/11 Timeline

Hi, guys today I will be sharing what I have been doing for Hurumanu 2 with Mr Carter. So for Chaos, we have been learning about the 9/11 terrorist attack. We had to make a timeline of how the day went and what events happened when. There were 4 planes that crashed two in the World Trade Centre also known as the Twin Towers, one in the Pentagon and one in Pennsylvania. I used a site called visme, it was hard to use but I got the hang of it in the end. Here is my timeline, hope you enjoy and learn something new! BYE.  

Zombies - 10 RULES

What if there was a zombie apocalypse? What would you do, how would you do it and what 10 rules do you think are important? 

Halo, guys today I will be sharing what I have been doing for Hurumanu 2 with Mr Carter. We have been learning about history and about stuff like a zombie apocalypse. This week we were wondering what would happen if there was a zombie apocalypse and some of the rules to keep safe. 

Well, obviously there hasn't been a zombie apocalypse and I don't believe that there will be one but for hurumanu 2 we have to choose 10 rules from the 34 rules in Zombieland. I think the rules I have chosen are very important and if there is a chance of this happening I know what rules to follow. 

THE RULES I CHOSE ➝

What ten rules would you choose to follow and why?

Chicken Leg Dissection

  

 Hi, guys today I will be sharing what I have been doing for Hurumanu 4 science. We were dissecting a chicken leg. Here are all the materials and safety tips.  

Materials: A chicken drumstick with thigh, Dissecting probe, scalpel, dissecting scissors, paper towels, forceps, dissecting tray, gloves, disinfectant hand wash and spray.  

Safety: 

Wear gloves 

Do Not put anything in your mouth (finger, pens, etc) during the dissection. 

Wash hands thoroughly at the end of the dissection with antibacterial soap and hot water. Ensure your hands are dried after washing. 

Spray surface with antibacterial soap. 

Three interesting things we did:

Place the chicken leg on a dissecting tray and examine (look at) h exterior features. The tough outer layer is called the epidermis (or skin). The small bumps covering the skin are where the feathers were attached. 

Carefully pull the skin off by sliding it down and off the lower leg. You may need to use your scalpel to remove it, but be careful not to cut any muscle tissue.

Move the bones around the joints. The main joint between the bones of the lower leg and the femur is a hinge joint like the one in your knee.

Definitions:

Bones help us keep our internal organs safe. 

Our muscle helps us move. 

Tendons attach muscle to bones. 

Ligaments attach bones to the bone. 

A femur is the biggest bone in our body and is located in the leg. 

A tibia is a bone in our leg.

A fibula is a shin bone in our leg.   

Conclusion:

This dissection was really fun I really enjoyed it. Next time I will try to take some photos of our dissection to post on my blog. 

Building Shapes - Maths

Hi, guys today I will be sharing what I have been doing in Hurumanu 3 with Mrs Bueveantura. I was building shapes out of 7 to 8 feet long string with Lhysette, Evelyn and Shreya. We tried to build shapes like squares and triangles but we successfully made a cube, a star and a pyramid. I learnt that with maths you also need to have teamwork to help when you get stuck.

         Our Goal ➝

Pyramid 3D

The first shape we made was a pyramid this took a lot of teamwork and relicense. After a good five minutes, we finally figured out how the shape works and how the shape is placed. They're also a famous landmark called pyramids they are shaped exactly like this shape. This shape took three triangles and one square.    
 

 

                                                                                        Our Goal ↑

Cube 3D

The second shape we made was a cube, it took longer than the pyramid but in the end, we perfectly created a cube with all the corners and sides. This took a lot of fingers and remembering how a cube looks. This shape took six squares to a cube.   

                                     

                                                                                        Our Goal ↑

Star 2D

The last shape we were able to make was a star. The star took the longest because of how many fingers it needed and how many sides it needed. I think that we did very well because it was the hardest one to do out of all of the shapes we tried to do. 

Thank you for reading my blog post hope you enjoy and tell me which shape you think we made the best. Where are the pyramids located in the world? BYE!

Rocket Time

Hello, on Tuesday for science, our hurumanu class finally launched our rockets that we'd been working on for the past few weeks. I worked with Hamid, Shreya and Mea. We researched on what would make our rocket fly better and land without issues. 

Many groups added cardboard wings to the sides of their rockets but we did something extra and added another parachute to ours. The landing was much smoother in the end. Hope you enjoyed my blog post have a great day. Bye!
