Electricity

 Hello fellow readers and welcome back today's blog post is about what we are doing in science. So for science today we have been learning about electricity and how they work and answering some questions about them.

1. This photo is of a Parallel circuit 

2. This photo is of a Series Circuit

3. What is the difference between a series + parallel circuit? The difference is that a series circuit is faster than a parallel circuit becueas the electricity has less space to move around.

4. What are voltage and current in a circuit? The current controls how quickly the electronics move and the voltage is how much power the electronics have.

5. Explain why a string of Christmas tree lights would be parallel not series. If one of the bulbs broke and it was a series circuit all the lights would go out were as it being a parallel circuit if one bulb brakes the rest still work.

Static Electricity/ Current Electricity

 Hello fellow readers and welcome back to today's, blog post which is about what we are doing for science. So for science, we are learning about static electricity and current electricity.

1. What are the 3 particles that makeup everything? The 3 parts of the atoms are Proton, Neutron, Electron. which ones have positive and negative charges? the ones that have this are the Protons and Neutrons. 

2. Objects want to be "electrically neutral" what does this mean? This is like what can happen when you touch a trampoline or another person.

3. When you rub two insulators you can get a static shock, so what are an insulator and a conductor? It's like when a table gives you a shock it is from Electrons.

4. What is an example of static electricity? When you rub a balloon on your head or shuffle your feet on a carpet.

 Current Electricity

1. What is the particle that moves in the wire? The name of the particles that move in the wire is called electrons.   

2. If there is a high current in a circuit what does that mean? It means there are more electrons moving around.

3. How does electricity work to heat up a stove? It converts electrons into heat energy 

4. Where is DC electricity used? DC is used to power cars, planes, batteries, solar cells. 

5. Where is AC electricity used? This type of electricity in used in homes and businesses.

Waiata/Anthems- Drax Project

 Hello fellow readers and welcome back today's,blog post is about what we have been doing in wananga. So for wananga, we have been doing Waiata/Anthems from famous singers/bands/artists/musicians. I chose the Drax Project to do my work about for this we had to make a D.L.O.

Here is my work......

The Cay

 Hello, fellow readers, and welcome back today's blog post is about what we are doing for English today. So for English, we are answering some questions about chapters 12-13.

1. How many days have Phillip and Timothy been on the Cay? They have been on the island for about 48 days they know this because they would put pebbles in a jar that they found.

2. What does Phillip do to help Timothy when he is sick? Phillip tries to help him by putting a cold cloth on Timothy's head he also tried to hold timothy down.

3. Explain why Phillip is ready to climb the coconut tree? I think he is ready to climb the tree so he can prove to himself and Timothy that he is capable of living on his own.

4. Why do you think Timothy is trying to teach Phillip these survival skills? I think Timothy is trying to do all this because he knows he is dying and Phillip needs to know who to survive without Timothy.

5. What do you think Phillip means by his comment,'' are you still Black"? I think Phillip means this is a good way and is wonder if Timothy is still as he remembers him.
