Hurumanu 5 - Math

 Summary: 

- We started off with geometry and learning how to measure angles and find the angle, then we went to algebra and learning how to understand the symbols. 

This is our presentation for explaining algebra in science.

Critical Reflection: 

- I've really enjoyed this hurumanu although it was challenging and it took me a while to understand and get the hang of it but in the end I enjoyed it and Mr Carter is a very cool teacher and made things a lot easier to learn and understand. I'm glad I told Mr Carter that I was struggling because he made things a lot easier. 

The Piano - Music

 1 - Where was the piano invented and who by?

- It was made in italy by Bartolomeo Cristofori.

2 - What did the first piano look like? 

3 - What is the difference between a keyboard and a piano? 

- A keyboard is electronic and the keys are plastic. A piano isn't electronic, it echoes more and the keys are heavier. 

4 - What have you enjoyed about learning the piano/keyboard, what have you found challenging?

- I really liked learning different songs and how to read it. The challenging thing is understanding when to play the key but I overcame that challeng. 

Overall I have had a really good time and i've enjoyed learning the keyboard. 

Lemon Power

Lemon Power: 

Voltage: Voltage is the energy that electrons get from a power supply. Voltage is used to make electrical components work, like light bulbs.

Current: Current is the movement of electrons, we measure current with am ammeter. An ammeter measures how many electrons pass it every second. 

Aim: To create voltage out of a lemon.

1. Roll the lemon out so the inside is liquid. 

2. Stick a piece of zinc and copper into the lemon. 

3. Connect the lemon up to a voltmeter. 

Result: 

Discussion: When we rolled the lemon we made the inside liquidy. We freed up all of these acidic charged particles. When it is solid, nothing is moving but when we make it a liquid all of the particles move around and create a circuit. 

Conclusion: The first volt was 0.5 and then we moved it closer together and it got 1.5. When we connected all of the classes lemons it was 2.7

Music term 3 

• Why did you choose music?

I chose music because I've always wanted to be able to play an instrument and i'm interested in music.

I would like to learn how to play the drums and if I can electric guitar, basically a little bit of everything. I would also like to learn how to read music and techniques so I can understand better.

I used to play ukulele and my dad taught me a little bit of drums rather than that not really.

Kiwi Baker - Brownies

This week in home economics we put together our brownie recipe for the kiwi baker task, here is the recipe, method, outcome and sensory evaluation. 

Raising Agents: Eggs, Baking Powder.
Cooking time: 20-30 minutes.

Ingredients: 

• 125g Butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa 
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 larger eggs
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla essence

3. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla essence, mix thoroughly. 
4. Sift in the flour and baking powder. Stir until all ingredients are combined. 
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray lined with baking paper. 
6. Bake at 180C for 20-30 minutes until firm in the centre. 
7. When cold cut the finished product cut into rectangles and remove from the tin. 
8. Serve with a tea or coffee or by itself. 

Things to know for next time: 

- Make sure the baking paper is at level with the tray. 

- Make the batter thicker. 

- Use the right size eggs and tray. 

Taste: They had the right amount of sugar and tasted very rich. 

Texture: They were fluffy and melted in your mouth when warm.

Looks: They had a nice swirl on top and looked nice and gooey in the middle.

I was happy with the outcome of our brownies we just need to keep those things in mind next time for a better result. 

Here are the photos from our lesson. 

Political Poster - Emmeline Pankhurst

This is my last task on the heroes and villains. 
Emmeline started women's rights protests and wanted justice for women. 
Here is the poster. 

Heroes and Villains - Poster

Here is my fact poster about Emmeline Pankhurst. 

These are just some facts about her. The colours I used for the text box represent the colours of Women's Rights.
