Energy

Definition: Stored in an object, The ability to move something

Different kinds of energy:

1) Light energy: The energy of electromagnetic waves. Found in microwaves, x-rays, and visible light

Flash light, Lit candle

2) Heat energy: Caused by the movement of particles. Found in all hot objects

Volcanoes, Pot of water on a stove

3) Sound energy: Energy produced by vibrating objects. Examples are speech, ultrasound and music

A Balloon popping, A Broom swishing

4) Chemical potential energy: Energy stored in the bonds between particles. Found in substances like petrol and food

Batteries, Natural gas

5) Electrical energy: The movement of electricity charge particles. Found in wires, generators and lighting

Electric fence, Electric eels

6) Gravitational potential energy: Energy stored in objects due to their height above ground

Plane, Helicopter

7) Kinetic energy: Energy due to the motion of an object. Eg. Moving cars, running, swimming

Walking, Jumping

8) Elastic potential energy: Energy stored in stretched or squashed objects. Examples are springs and rubber bands

Elastic, Hair ties

The Pacific: Culture, History, Geography and Language

Hi, in wga we were doing some reading learning and my group read about The Pacific: Culture, History, Geography and Language. Here is our learning about it...

Healthy and Unhealthy relationships

 Hello, in wga we have been learning about healthy and unhealthy relationships. We had this worksheet to fill out and these are my answers...

Relationships
Divide a slide or page into two columns headed up Healthy Relationships vs Unhealthy Relationships. Under each heading brainstorm words they think are linked.

Unhealthy relationships in school

School

Teachers

What is an Unhealthy relationship in school?

Being bullied and not being able to just do what you want to without being judged.

What is a healthy relationship in school?

Being taken care of and doing what you wanna do without being judged.

What should you do if you have an Unhealthy relationship?

By either talking it through, ending the relationship or saying something like I need to be myself and if you don’t like that we can’t continue on with this relationship.

• Define what a good relationship looks like to you?

• Who is someone that you class has a good relationship with and what are the characteristics that they demonstrate?

A good relationship to me looks like people being happy and enjoying each others company, being kind, nice and not rude. 

Nevaeh is someone in the class I have a good relationship with and her characteristics demonstrate being happy and goofy

What is Diffusion

Diffusion is when particles are moving from a high area to a low area of concentration.

The aim of this experiment is to see if hot / cold water will defuse particles the fastest.

Hypothesis:
I think hot water because it has more steam and heat so it will defuse particles faster.

Method:
1. Half fill your petri dish with cold tap water.
2. Place the petri dish on your work bench and allow the water to become settled.
3. Using the tweezers, place a single crystal of potassium permanganate in the center of the petri dish.
4. Observe for 5 minutes.
5. Repeat the experiment using hot water.

Results:
The hot water defuse the potassium permanganate fastest.

Conclusion:
In conclusion my hypothesis was correct and the hot water defused the potassium fastest.

Growth Mindset

In wananga this week we were learning about Resilience and having a growth mindset. Having a growth mindset consists of turning negative thoughts into positive thoughts.
For example:

I can't do this > I can't do this yet
                         I can use some strategies to try to figure it out how to do it.
                         I can ask for help

I give up > I can do this
                  I need to try again
                  I can't do this yet!

Business Studies

1. Explain what the production line is

It is when there is an arrangement that is manufactured  in a factory. 

2. Why was the production line revolutionary?

As well, since the assembly line simplified the manufacturing process, it meant that almost anyone could complete the work with relatively little training.

Finally, the increased efficiency of the assembly line allowed Ford to increase the basic rate of pay for his employees.

3. How does the production line increase productivity?

• #1 - Review Your Existing Workflow.
• #2 - Update Processes and Technology.
• #3 - Commit to Scheduled Maintenance.
• #4 - Train and Educate Employees.
• #5 - Organize the Workspace.
• #6 - Maintain Optimal Inventory.

4. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the production line?

• Specialization of labor and capital
• Uniform product
• Initial cost
• Flexibility

5. Provide an example of a business that uses the production line. ( Do not use the ford model T )

Tsunami

In social studies we are learning about tsunamis. Here is our work...

The purple tower is New York times tower with a tsunami at 300 metres

The brown tower is Chrysler building with a tsunami at 310 metres

The blue tower is The bank of America tower at 360 metres

The grey tower is Empire state building at 450 metres
