The Amazing Moa

 Once again i'm back with more facts about a animal I have learnt about with the book, Uncle Don Knows Wacky Thing's. This time i'm learning about the amazing Moa. You'd think that ohhh we know everything about a Moa but you really don't, because I just learnt heaps of stuff that you would never think about. I will put the link in now so that you could look at the work, but please enjoy.

 YEAST

What Is Yeast? Yeast is fungy found in the air around us, its been around for a long long time/ years, There is yeast that is man made in a bottle, Over a thousand kinds of yeast, in bread there is co2 because the yeast eats the sugar and releases gas, 

What is Fermentation? the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.

What effect does sugar have on yeast Too little sugar in dough can slow down yeast activity: Yeast is a lot like us – it loves to eat sugar. Yeast needs sugar to produce carbon dioxide – the leavening gas that causes the dough to rise. If there is not enough sugar available, the dough will rise slowly or not at all.

What are three foods that have yeast 

1. Ginger Beer 

2. Bread

3. Cake

 

Equipment: 

. Spoons

. Kettle 

. Bowl

. Beaker

. Cloth sieve 

. Funnel

. Plastic (pet) bottle and cap 

Materials:

. 50ml warm water.

. 1/2 tsp active dried yeast.

. 1/2 tsp sugar.

. 1/2 tsp ground ginger. 

Ginger Beer. ( For 1 Liter)

3/4 cup sugar 

1/2 tsp cream of tartar 

. 1L cold water 

. Juce of 1/2 lemon 

. 1 tsp ginger beer bug 

Method

1. Ina large bowl, put the sugar and cream of tartar, then add the warm water. 

2. Stir to dissolve the sugar before adding the cold water.

3. Add the ginger beer bug to the large bowl of cold water.

4. Stir well and then pour into your clean bottle. 

5. Lable your bottle with your group names. 

6. Place all the bottles in the class counter.

7. Store in a cool dark place for one week before drinking.

8. Make sure you open the bottle in the kitchen sink as it might overflow. Open the cap bit by bit to allow the air to escape.   

NZ Olympic Athletes 2020

 Hi Everyone

Today i'm going to be showing yous what we have been working for the last week. We have been learning about the athletes that have attended the Olympics in 2020. Here is the slide.

BYE!!!

Science!

 What were doing: Were doing chilli tasting 

What is the name of the chemical in chillis that make them hot? 

1. capsicnoid 

The name of the five most hottest chillis in the world? 

1. Carolina reaper 

2.  Ghost pepper 

3. 7 pot pot primo

4. naga viper 

5. 7 pot doughlahgh

Name five countries where chillis are grown? 

1 Mexico 

2. China 

3. Turkey 

4. Indonesia 

5. India 

How does a scovle scale work? 

Scoville heat units, also known as SHU is simply a measurement of the number of times capsaicin needs to be diluted by sugar-water. The number of Scoville Heat Units (SHU) in a pepper or even hot sauce indicates the amount of capsaicin present. The higher the Scoville rating, the hotter the pepper.

Aim: To see which is the best way to cool down the hot chillie taste in your mouth when eating chilli.

Hypothesis: I think that by using Milk I will be able to cool it down.

Equipment: 

1. Milk

2. Water

3. Coca Cola 

4. Tasting cup 

5. Chilli 

Method: 

1. You will work in groups of three for this experiment. Each person in the group will use one of the drinks with the chilli. you will then swap results in the group so that everyone has the same results. 
2. Each member of the group needs to have their own tasting cup. This will be used for putting the deffrent liquids in as we cool off the chilli in our mouths. 

3. place the chilli in your mouth 

4. after 10 seconds you will drink the liquid that you have in your cups. As you can do this you will complete a results chart 

You will be recording the following using yes or no 

1. The effectiveness of the liquid immediately 

2. The effectiveness of the liquid after 10 seconds 

Science Again

 Bunsen Burner 

Method:

1.  Grab safety glasses 

2. get your Bunsen burner out

3. Place the heat mat down 

4. plug the hose in to the gas tank 

5. put the tripod on top of the Bunsen burner 

6. place Gauze mat on top of the Bunsen burner 

Equipment 

1. Bunsen burner 

2. Safety glasses 

3. Heat mat 

4. Tripod 

5 Gauze mat 

Reminder 

1. the hottest part of the flame is the inner flame.

2. the order of lighting a Bunsen burner is is to light the match then turn on the tap.

3. where is the broken glass put? white bucket.

4. How do you stop all gas taps at the same time? the Big red button on the wall. 

5. Where is the fire extinguisher? by the white board. 

6. When should you where safety glasses? when using fire.
 

Art

 This term we have been learning about stop motion and clay making. The stop motion was about pots and pans fighting to be the best one. First we started out with flip books and then moved onto making our template and designing it. After that we started making our characters and drying them. 

My Game I Made.

 Here is the game I made in coding.

Wonder

 This week we watched a movie about Bullying and how it hurt a boy called Auggie. He had a big sister called Olivia, Via for short. He was picked on because of his face deformity.When he was wearing a mask on Halloween he heard his friend say that if he was Auggie he would kill himself. This made Auggie feel destroyed and sad. Here’s a quote from Auggie: The only reason why I'm not ordinary is because of the way people see me. The theme of the story is: Bulling. Hope you like my images too.

 Are Dogs Better Than Cats 

Do you want to waste your money? 

Do you think cats are better than dogs 

Introduction 

I think that cats are WAY better than dogs because they STINK and They bark, you also have to brush their fur and clean them. 

Paragraph 1 

Dogs are so attention seeking that they need all the love and they want to play all the time and it's really annoying. Like for example they need, A food bowl, 

Toys, Beds, Love, Attention, A brush, They need to go on walks, They need to be bathed, their poop needs to be picked up. 

Paragraph 2 

Cats are way better than dogs because cats u don’t have to take out on walks, u dont have to clean up after them and all they need is toys and some love and that's all. But then dogs u have to do all of this stuff for them, dogs sleep in your bed cats are usually outside the entire time. 

Paragraph 3 

Dogs run away and they never come back but cats are so smart that they leave the house and they come back. I have cats as well and they are so calm, there so quit, they only meow when there hungry, dogs bark when they hear a noise, they jump around, they also want to play all the time and they wake you up really early in the morning. 

Conclusion 

So now u know that cats are better than dogs because 

Dogs are more attention seeking, Dogs poop more and u have to clean it up, Dogs can kill people.

 My invention is full of a special liquid and it can put any fire out in one drop. 

The materiel of the goodbye fire is copper. 

This is how u operate it. 1. u have to unlock it from kidy lock by pressing a button then u aim at your fire and press the lever.
