S.T.E.A.M

 Hey bloggers 

On Wednesday we did science, our task was we had to drop an egg from a certain height and try and make it not crack. We had to do this by using the materials we were given, The materials we were allowed to use were:

• 3 Pieces of A4 paper
• 1 piece of A4 paper to sketch our idea
• 1 A5 piece of cardboard paper
• Plastic bag
• Wool
• Tape 

Our idea was to rip and scrunch up our A4 paper and put it in our plastic bag, we then wrapped the egg up in the cardboard paper and we used tape to seal it up. We then put the cardboard paper (with the egg inside) in the plastic bag we then tied up the plastic bag and taped the handles together. We then used the remaining string and tape to wrap it up nicely.I was in a group with Tayla B, Tayla K, Valley rose and Sophia D. Here is my slide I hope you enjoy.

Today we had lots of fun.We made parachutes and I made mine with two of my best friends Catherine and Brittney.

The challenge was to make a parachute to hold 2 wing nuts, kind of like how spaceships come to a stop. I had a lot of fun making my parachute with my friends.

What we did for our first parachute : For our first parachute we made it with Fabric,Twine,News Paper and Tape. I had a lot of fun make this first one but it didn't work so we made a second one.

 What we did for our second parachute: For our second we made it out of Paper Towels,String,Tape and used our string to put through the wing nuts and used tape to hold them together.We ran out of twine so we had to use blue string.

Here is my final product.Enjoy.

Have you ever made a parachute? Do you like our parachute? See you next time I post. Byeee

 

Southern Lights Artwork

Kia Ora Bloggers

Today we have been learning about the southern lights, and we decided made some art on them.

The name 'Aurora' comes from the Latin word for sunrise or the Roman goddess of dawn. Auroras are associated with the solar winds that flow past Earth. These winds flow out from the Sun and contain plasma particles (ionized gas) which gets pulled into the Earth's magnetic pole fields.

As they accelerate towards the Earth, collisions occur between these ion particles and nitrogen and oxygen atoms in our atmosphere, releasing energy in the form of amazing aurora lights.

Here are the steps to make the southern lights artwork.

1. Hold your plain A4 paper landscape and rip a mountain like shape across it. This will be used to mask off the hills. Mask this onto the bottom of your black piece of paper with tape.

2.  Then dip your toothbrush into some of the white acrylic paint, and then run your fingers through the bristles of the toothbrush to flick paint over your black piece of paper. This will create the background stars.

3.  While the stars are drying, use your ripped card and colour the top ripped edge of it in with your different coloured pastels. Make sure you change the colour every few centimetres.

4.  When the paint is dry, place the chalked paper onto your black paper. Now run your finger through the chalk upwards towards the stars. This should smudge the coloured chalk from the plain paper onto your picture.

5.  Mix a small amount of yellow and white together. Make sure you use more white than yellow, you want it to only have a tint of yellow in it.  Using your tooth pick or the end of a paint brush dot in the Matariki constellation.

Here is my final product,enjoy.

Have you seen the southern lights?See you next time.Bye.

Binary & ASCII

Kia Ora Bloggers

Today we are learning about Binary and ASCII. 

Binary is a number system that uses 1’s and 0’s to represent all of our normal set of numbers.  You can use the place values as multiples of 2 to work out how to do it for yourself!  Try watching this video to give it a go yourself!

ASCII is set of encoded symbols that a computer uses to turn Binary into letters and other symbols from the English language (like what is on our keyboard).  I turned my initials ( O & F ) into binary numbers, and then turned those binary numbers into an ASCII code!  Using colours to represent the 1’s and 0’s, my initials in ASCII can be represented by the pattern you see in my image below! 

What do you think?  Have you ever tried encoding anything in binary or ASCII?  Could you have a try for yourself?  Can you work out how to write my initials in ASCII from the pattern above?
