Healthy eating

 Hello, today we are talking about health and the subject we are talking about is healthy eating

Bronx and I did the same slide and we finished late but we got to finish it. At the end I got lazy and in the ingredients I just typed in "it literally says it in the name"(if you want to know what it was it was butter and toast). Bronx and I are a really good team, my teacher should let us sit together all the time. Well anyways we had to include grains, protein, carbs, dairy, fat, veges and fruit so overall I enjoyed it. It is really important to eat the right foods so you can grow into the person you are if you don't then you might end up something you don't want to be.

Thank you for looking at my blog and have a good day.

Gymnastics blog term 4

 Hello this is a blog about what i have learned in gymnastics

When i first did gymnastics i was gonna think it was gonna be bad but as i got to do it more often it was pretty easy the first thing i learned was on the mini tramp i did a straight jump first it was really easy i also learned to do a tuck jump and a jump half turn.

 The next thing i learned was on the big trampoline i only learned a front drop on it.I didn't learn anything on the parallel bars because i suck at it.

Same as the floor i really didn't get to do much but i got one thing done a forward roll very basic but i am still proud of it.

My next thing i accomplished was on the beam i did a blind walk it took a little bit but i still did it not gonna lie it was pretty scary doing it.

And the last thing i learned was on the horizontal bar i did a front roll on the bar it hurt my abdomen but it was worth it because i learned it.

I didn't give up and in the end it was really fun that just shows that the more you practice the better you get thank you for listening to my blog and i hope you have a good day goodbye!.

also here is my gym sheet :here

My gym sheet is about what i could do and learn the green highlight is what i learned and the ticks that have no green is what i have already known it has all the stuff you need to know on how i did.

Hot Chilli

 Aim:

I want to find out how to cool down your tongue after heating a hot chilli.

Reaserch:

Method:

Equipment

• Hot Chilli sauce
• Popsicle stick
• Drinks-Soda,Water,Milk
• Timer

Instruction

1. Get your equipment ready.
2. Get a drop of hot sauce on your popsicle stick or a scoop.
3. Lick the Hot Chilli sauce.
4. (optional)Swirl the Hot Chilli sauce around your mouth if you are brave enough.
5. Start the timer.
6. After two minuts,drink your drink and swirl it around.
7. After five minutes,rate how hot your mouth is.
8. Repeat but with a different drink.

Results:

• The first chilli was a ten 
• The Second time.I had the water after the chilli after 4 min i scored it a 10 for burning because i think the water actually spreaded around.

• the third time.I had coke and it actually helped i give it a 5 for burning i think because of the carbonation
• The fourth.I had milk and it really helped i rate it a three because the milk has fat in it and the fat in the milk dissolves the spices.

Discussion:

Why does chilli burn your mouth: because chilli contains something called capsaicin it is a chemical in the chilli it burns your tongue because capsaicin comes in contact with your pain receptors.

What is a Scoville unit?

A Scoville unit measures how much pure capsaicin is in the pepper or sauce.

Why does milk help with chilli?

Milk helps with chilli because the fat in the milk dissolves the spices on your taste buds.

Kiwi facts Uncle Don.

Ki ora here are some awesome facts about kiwi.

 A Kiwi is a brown spherical bird with a long beak and nostrils at the end of its nose. It has tiny wings but cant fly. It also has feathers that look like fur and whiskers just like a Cat and can live up to 25-50 years. It weighs 0.8 1.9 kg and female kiwis usually weigh more.

It is an endangered animal because it can’t defend itself very well.

 It has three main predators Stoats,Cats and Deer; their eggs only have a 5% chance of living because of their predators.

Kiwis are mostly nocturnal and hunt in the night. They are omnivores which means they eat meat and plants. Their favourite food is worms just like most birds.

Well I hope you liked it I previously made a poster here take a look

Henri Rousseau

 Kio ra today we will be learning about Henri Rousseau

3.He is in poverty so he could never do anything too expensive like go on trips or buy prints.

4.He made a painting called dream.

Mentos and Coke

 Aim:

I want to learn what happens when you put Mentos in Coke.

Research:

 Aim:

I want to learn what happens when you put Mentos in Coke.

Research:

Method:

Equipment

• Coke,Coke no sugar, sprite
• Mint mentos
• Detergent
• Beakers
• Safety glasses
• Measuring cylindar

Instructions

1. Get your Equipment
2. Put on your safety glasses 
3. Get your measuring cylindar 
4. pour 30 ml of coke into the measuring cylindar
5. Grab your beaker and detergent
6. Add 10 ml of detergent
7. Grab mentos and put the mentos in the coke/detergent
8. do this three times with the coke/coke no sugar/sprite

Results:
Coke,It was 30 ml now its up to 56 ml

Coke no sugar it was 30 ml now it is 65 ml

Sprite, It was 30ml now it is 73 ml

this was the result

Sprite

Reason why all the bubbles come up

when the mentos sinks in the coke the mentos makes makes the production faster and more carbon dioxide kicks in and if you look in a microscope there are acually little microscopic bumps and makes the mentos breaks easier and makes it more dense thats why when it is crushed up there is less of a production.

Shape up / geometry

 Kio ra today i am going to be talking about my Hurumanu 3 Shaping up There are alot of options to pick from but i am only going to pick my top three best subjects of shaping up

1.Nets

Nets was probably my favourite one Because you had to choose what 3d shape it was.It was really easy for me and i enjoyed it alot my favourite part of it was this activity where you had to choose what was the right net to make a 3d shape.

2.Reflection/rotation/translation
Reflection was a really easy but pretty enjoying subject we had to tell wich was a rotation a translation and a reflection translation is just a slide rotation turning reflection is just looking at a mirror overall a fun and simple topic.

3.Scale/Maps/Direction

This was probably the hardest one for me but it wasnt that hard the only obstacle i went through was the NZ scale the NZ scale was a little difficult for me but there is nothing i cant handle and another thing i did was the maps the maps were just directions on where to go we had to finish 6 maps (excluding the AWS map worksheet).

Thank you for looking at my blog i wish you a wonderful day!.

The warm water made the sugar and colouring to dissolve through the water,the reason it didnt mix was because of the water stratisfication

Gummy bear Osmosis

 Aim:

I want to find out what happens when gummy bears are put in liquids.

Method:

Equipment

• Salt water (Sodium Chloride)
• Normal water 
• Sugar water (Sucrose)
• Gummy bears
• Two Petri dishes
• Marker pen
• Electronic Scale

Instructions

1. Get your equipment
2. Wear safety glasses
3. Using a marker pen,write your name and conditions and the weight of the gummy bear

Do the experiment 

Results:

	Dry Gummy	Sugar Gummy	Water gummy	Salty gummy
Initial weight(g)	0.082	0.078	0.082	0.077
Final weight(g)	2.39	2.94	5.81	4.09
Difference	1.57	2.62	5.28	4.03

The water gummy gained most weight because the water has smaller sugar molecules so then they can pass through the gummy bear easier while sugar molecules are bigger so they cant pass through as much as the water.

Reflection of art

 Hey guys what i'm gonna talk about is my art stay tuned if you wanna know more!

My first type of art was flip books it was pretty hard because i had to be precise but in the end it did really good, it was about a stick man getting hit by a car and going in the air and exploding.

this is my stick man flip book as you see there and you can see me and my photo bomber friend Heath he is eating a pear.

my next project was three scenariochoices you can pick the first one was an alien 

the next genre was aqua genre it was based underwater and you had to talk about fishes and the god Posiedon there isnt much to talk about.

the last one is about superheroes you have to write a story about them.

Character development we made clay monsters the first thing we had to make was a four legged or two legged monster then we had to make minions.
