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
