Extreme weather

Measuring weather.

                                   Definitions:    1 anemometer: 

2 Beaufort wind

4 Monson 

5 What is it when the weather is really nice and turn to hail?

3 Typhoon  A typhoon is essentially a hurricane. Just called a typhoon in the north western pacific. ... A typhoon ( hurricane) is an intense storm of tropical origin. A monsoonare seasonally directed winds that are common in eastern and Southern Asia. During winter, strong cooling produces a shallow high pressure over Siberia.

1.  Anemometer:
2. Beaufort wind scale:                                                             

MATERIALS

 

1. 2 sticks       
2.                                                 4 cups 
3.                                                sellotape 
4. pencil with eraser at bottom 
5. pin 
6. sticky note   

STEPS  

1.   
2. Get your materials
3.   put your 2 sticks in a cross shape
4.   put your four cups on the end of the sticks (2 on each stick)
5.   tape the cups
6.   tape the sticks in place 
7. et a pencil and a pin
8. pin goes in the rubber of the pencil 

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

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

1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
2. When the time keeper 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. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.

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

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field	20
2.	old J block site	15
3.	Grass hill in quad	10
4.	tennis court gate	3

CONCLUSION:

A typhoon is essentially a hurricane. Just called a typhoon in the north western pacific. ... A typhoon ( hurricane) is an intense storm of tropical origin. A monsoonare seasonally directed winds that are common in eastern and Southern Asia. During winter, strong cooling produces a shallow high pressure over Siberia.

WHAT I DID IN THE HOLIDAYS ;)

In the holidays I did my PB in my drag car I did 167 mph  and after drag racing me and my mum and dad and my dads friend and and one of my friend we  to the pub and me and my friend got a ginger beer and we played pool I had a game of pool with my friend and he won and my dad had a game of pool with my friend and my dad lost and my grandad had a game of pool with my friend and my grandad lost and on friday I went to  hamner with my mum we went in the pool's  and went in a cool cool maze! In the maze we needed to find clues which where hidden

orana park

On Tuesday we went to Orana Park  and we learnt some facts about the animals here are some :

Three things I enjoyed about the trip are:
1. Seeing the rhinos, the gorilla and the meerkats.
2. I liked learning about the different animals we got to see like the Tigers, Lions and Kiwi's.
3. I liked seeing the gorilla being funny😆 jumping around and putting his hand on the window.

Poachers that kill rhinos for their horns that say its medicine that does not do anything it is made out of the same stuff as our hair and nails.



If you stare at a gorilla in the eyes it feels threatened.




In the meerkats group if you are not the alpha and you have kids you will be kicked out of the group and your babies will be killed






 

TERM 3 NEW BUILDINGS 😃

  To day I am going to writing about or new buildings we moved in on monday 

                                                 

When I walked into our  new buildings I saw... heaps! of colours and furniture and  TVs and two! kitchen. 

When I walked into our new buildings I thought... I didn't  really like it because all of the other buildings look the same! 

When I walked into our new buildings I felt... shocked! and a little bit cold because there was no! heat pumps and it was  really colourful and big! and the 

teachers have there own hangout spot!

Climate Chaos

Title`	Solar energy
Aim	What colour attracts the heat   from the sun
Hypothesis	My hypothesis  is that the black is going to attract the most heat
Materials	White paper White cup Black piece of plastic  Clear cup  Black plastic cover Piece of tinfoil  Silver cup/ cup covered in tin foil  Heat lamp  100ms of water in each cup thermometer timer
Steps	get your materials  Put your plastic sheet ,white paper and your tinfoil and put them on your table  put your clear cup and put the black bag cover on it  put your other cups on the cloloured material\  pour in your water  plug in your heat lamp in  check the temperature every 5 minutes
Data/Findings	I found that black attracts most heat from the sun White cup got up to 17,c The black cup got up to 18,c The silver cup got up to 17,c
Conclusion	my finding in this experiment state that black is the one that attracts most heat  black plastic helped to the experiment to work

SCIENCE! 😎(^.^)

today at SCIENCE we did a new experiment it is about co2 and what co2 do to our planet!

Title	Water cycle
Purpose
Materials	1x large ziplock bag Blue food colouring  Water Vivid tape
Steps	Get your ziplock bag  Draw the water cycle on your bag with vivid Put water in your bag Put 2 drops of food colouring  Put tape on the bag  Hang the bag on a window that has sun
Conclusion	I think the outcome of this experiment will be  There will be more blue water and condnsation What actually happened…

Title	Water cycle p2
Purpose
Materials	1x large ziplock bag Blue food colouring  Water Vivid Tape Litmus paper Baking soda
Steps	Get your ziplock bag  Draw the water cycle on your bag with vivid Put water in your bag Put 2 drops of food colouring and a teaspoon of backing soda Put tape on the bag and put litnus paper on the corner Hang the bag on a window that has sun
Conclusion	I think the outcome of this experiment will be  There will be more blue water and condnsation What actually happened…

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	2	2
Amount of Water	2	2
Acidity	1	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

1st bag there was not much change

1st bag the gas did not change at all 

2nd bag the gas did not change at all 

2nd bag there was not much change

the first watar cycle had averge sized dropplets.the second bag had some accid and there was not as much water and there was more acid
