Aim: See how long water would last in a paper box with a flame under the box.

Equipment: Bunsen burner, heat mat, Try pod, gas, water, paper, glue safety googles, lighter, and Water beacon.

Saftey steps: Saftey googles, walking inside, hair tied up, being and carefully of the fire.

So to do this experiment you will need the stuff I have named up the top and follow the safety steps.

First, you will need to make a paper box make sure the box is strong enough to hold water, and make sure it does not leak water. Set up the Bunson burner make sure it is plugged into a gas source make sure the hole in the bottom side of the bunsen burner is closed. Turn the gas on and get a lighter to light the top of the bunsen burner make sure the flame is blue let it heat up, fill the paper box with water then put it on top of the try pod which will go on top of the Bunson burner. Make sure you have a heat mat underneath the Bunson burner time how long it last without bursting into flames.

Savoury Bread cases.

Welcome back people to my blog, last Friday we made bread cases. This is the first actual cooking part we have done this term, this is a pretty easy thing to make. It is basically baked beans on toast, First, we had to collect our equipment: Cheese, Bread, Margarine, Baked beans, and spaghett. 

We then grated the cheese, buttered the bread, cut the crust of the bread place bread in a muffin tray, bake the bread at 180 degrees for like 5 minutes. Take the muffin tray out, put in fillings I used bake beans ham and cheese. Place the tray back in the oven for at least 8 minutes. Then take out of the oven let cool down and enjoy.

Here is another way to make them: Click here

Christchurch earthquake

 Kia ora bloggers today post is about the Christchurch earthquake.

Q1: How have the Christchurch earthquakes affected the city?

The Canterbury earthquakes caused a significant change to the natural environment, including liquefaction, lateral spread near waterways, land level changes, and numerous rockfalls and landslides. Air and water quality were also impacted, with water-based recreational activities halted until November 2011.

Q2: What positives have come out of the Earthquakes:

Earthquakes are very useful to humans because they provide a picture of what's going on underground. This can make oil and gas extraction more efficient and allows scientists to monitor the progress of water during geothermal energy extraction.

Q3: What was the number of people that died during the Christchurch earthquakes:

The earthquake caused widespread damage across Christchurch, killing 185 people in the nation's fifth-deadliest disaster.

 

 

 Hurumanu 1 Work week 4 

Kia ora bloggers this post today is about My work in hurumanu 1/ Reading and social studies. We have to read this text that has multiple texts in the one I am going to be reading is Parihaka. This work is based on protests. 

Part of my work is to complete three activities from the bingo taskboard.

Q1. What is the main idea from the text: The Main Idea from this text is where the Maori get their land taken off them by the new Europeans and even though they get shot and some die the don't fight back with violence the peacefully protest some would sit in front of there house or village and not move even when being threatened. Some times when the Europeans came to their village the kids would greet them with food and they would get killed but still, The Maori would not fight back.

Q2. Interesting facts:  Parihaka was a Māori settlement in Taranaki around the 1860s when New Zealand was a British colony, and land was being divided up and given to European settlers. Māori leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi encouraged the people of Parihaka to defend their land by peaceful methods.

Q3. What I learned: I learned that during the Parihaka protests that they did not use any violence towards the Europeans treated them really badly and killed most of their people. They showed how we can peacefully protest even though the other side uses violence.

As part of this work, I have to choose one of the protests I agree with. From what protests I have read I agree with the Parihaka with their peaceful protest and how they tried to save their land without using violence. I also agree with the woman protesting for their voting rights as they should have a right on who is the big boss of New Zealand.
