Drama

Kia ora bloggers on Tuesday we got into pairs and got a little piece of paper that had a little role play you had to practice and then perform in front of the class.  After we had done that we got into bigger groups and created our own roleplay.  In my group were Kody, Callum, Mahalia, James and myself our role play was rugby.  It was James and Kody vs Callum and Mahalia.  I was the commodore the person that said the score and said the words Eg.   We also learned about emotions and how we can change them really easy eg when some says go do something our emotions can change from happy to sad or other emotions.

Weather and Climate Change 

Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

Wind

Beaufort Wind Scale

Beaufort Force	Wind Speed (KPH)	Spins	Indicators	Terms Used in NWS Forecasts
0	0-2	0	Calm; smoke rises vertically.	Calm
1	2-5	10	Shown by the direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes.	Light
2	6-12	40	The wind felt on face, leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind.	Light
3	13-20	80	Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag.	Gentle
4	21-29	130	Raises dust and lose paper; small branches are moved.	Moderate
5	30-39	190	Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters.	Fresh
6	40-50	250	Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty.	Strong
7	51-61	320	Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind.	Strong
8	62-74	390	Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress.	Gale
9	75-87	470	Slight structural damage.	Gale
10	88-101	550	Seldom experienced inland; trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs.	Whole gale

Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

MATERIALs

 

1. Pencil
2. Tape
3. pin
4. cups (4)
5. Straws (4)       

STEPS

1.   Put the straws into a cross 
2.   Tape the straws together 
3.   Poke holes into the cups
4.   Put the straws into the cups 

Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need:

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:

• Timekeeper
• Counter
• Recorder
• Anemometer Manager
• Wind generator

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins using the table below.

You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

	Time Interval	Number of Spins
1.	10 seconds	11/3
2.	10 seconds	11/2
3.	10 seconds	41/14
4.	10 seconds	41/14

• Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind? 

CONCLUSION:

Due to the calm wind weather, we had to use our mouth to get the anemometer to move around.

As you can see up in that chart some of them did not last for that long. 

After a while, the wind picked up so we could use the wind to get it moving and it worked well you can see in the chart that the natural wind got it moving a lot more.
