Garden with science

 Garden with Science - Task 1


WALT - We are learning to make connections to prior knowledge.


Type in the boxes below the questions, they will expand as you type.

What do you know about gardening?

What do you think gardening has to do with science?

What science learning might help you to be a really good gardener?

  • A sunflower is more than one flower.

  • Plants respond to sound

  • Butterflies might be more attracted to your weeds than your flowers.

  • Insects are important to a garden

  • 80 PERCENT OF THE EARTH'S ORIGINAL FORESTS HAVE BEEN CLEARED OR DESTROYED.

  • THE EARTH HAS MORE THAN 80,000 SPECIES OF EDIBLE PLANTS.

  • 90 PERCENT OF THE FOODS HUMANS EAT COME FROM JUST 30 PLANTS.

  • Don't water your plants in the sun

  • Weed your garden


All the nutrients, bugs and the cycle of the garden for example the plant starts off with a seed and all that. Also the nutrients of the soil and how to give it more nutrients. Also photosynthesis plants will need four main things to grow, air, water, sun and nutrients.

The insects that are good and bad, the nutrients you need to put in the soil to help the plant grow and maybe the purposes of some insects.

KB Blake VR Programme



WALT: Know why and how our oceans are being polluted.


Last Tuesday 2 girls came into our class with VR headsets. When we came into class we could see all the headsets so we went to our seats and the 2 girls had a little korero with us. We were going to look at the sea. So we put our headsets on and the 2 girls started playing the videos. They were all very cool, they had divers filming it. We were learning why and how our ocean is being polluted. One way the ocean is being polluted is from people littering and then all the rubbish goes into the waterways then the rubbish floats down the waterways into the ocean.

Bio poem about Toroa

 WALT: Take information from a non fiction text to complete a bio poem.

Bio poem

Toroa

Majestic, Magnificent, Endangered, Wide-winged

Lover of hanging out with their hoa, clacking and clappering like noisy neighbours.

Who feels scared of those flags that flap around even though they are a safety device.

Who needs their tubenose system to filter out the unhealthy salt from their body.

Who gave their body parts to Pakeha to make tobacco pouches and pipe stems.

Who fears the thousands of baited hooks that fishing boats set which could kill tens of thousands of their whanau.

Who would like fisherman to use strategies to avoid catching and killing albatross and other sea birds.

Who comes from the freezing cold Southern Ocean that leads to Antarctica.

Albatross

Caught being a good mum.

 Caught being a good mum


You are the best mum because everyday I get home you only give me one chore to do. 

Most times when I want to go to the shop you will take me and halfway through you will say I'm sick of this already so let's go. 

Everytime we go to get gas you ask me if I want anything and I will say yes please. 

Mum takes me to sports 4 times every week. 

Everytime it's a rainy day you will snuggle up with me and watch a movie.

               I L❤ve you mum

Scientist and Alien monster

 Narrative Writing 

Title of your writing -  Scientist and alien monster








Brainstorming of ideas 

Characters ? Scientist with backpack. Alien monster. The scientist's face looked like he was really scared, his head was shaking, he was breathing very heavily, his stomach tightened and he was wearing a white long sleeved shirt.

Setting ?  5:00AM midnight in a spaceship.

Action Rising? The Alien monster got the bag off the professor and got what it wanted: it was an orb.  

The professor jumped on the robot and pulled a wire to shut it down. Scientist hands up wanting alien monster to put claws down. 

Alien monster has its claws out wanting to get the scientists bag.

Problem? The problem is the professor pulled the wrong wire. The robot went crazy and nearly flung the professor off the spaceship. The robot couldn't see the professor. He stood still and tried to put the orb in him. The professor snuck up on him and pulled the right wire shutting robot down. He got the orb back.


Resolution?  The professor flew back home in the spaceship 



Professor and Alien monster

Inside outer space an alien monster and a professor with a backpack stared at each other. It was midnight. It was freezing cold. 

He was snuggled up in 5 warm blankets at 5:00am sitting down eating and watching the screen. He was flying to the moon in his humongous spaceship. This was his best day ever.

All of a sudden an alien monster came out of nowhere. The professor's face looked really scared. His head was shaking, he was breathing really heavily and his stomach tightened. The professor put his hands up because he wanted the robot to put its claws down. The professor jumped onto the robot and pulled at a wire to shut it down, but he pulled the wrong wire and made the monster go crazy.  He was flung off the robot and nearly off the ship. The robot stood still and tried to put the orb in his chest. The professor zoomed up on the robot, pulled the wire and shut it down.

The professor did not want to carry on to the moon. He turned his spaceship around and went home to watch a movie called, ‘The Professor and the Alien Monster.’

Marshmallow catapult

This is my marshmallow catapult that I designed. The spoon is the lever. That line in front of the spoon is a rubber band holding it. You put a marshmallow on the spoon pull the top of the spoon down. The rubber band will stretch right down and you let go. The marshmallow will go flying. The structure is also super strong. But when we were building it we had to make 2 modifications 1 was changing the spoon to were it is before I had the end of the skewer sticking into the front of the base and going straight to the end of the structure were that rubber band is resting. The second modification was joining those 2 skewers in the base together because before they were separated. One thing I learned from this was that your design might not look as good as it actually does and that it might not work but you just have try it out.
