Technology Cooking

Yesterday I made pancakes with my mum. Technology has been cancelled because of NZ in lockdown. Here is a photo of my masterpiece.

Standing Egg Day

                         Standing Egg Day

This is video proof that I can stand an egg on standing egg day or March 20. Only two days can you                                               stand an egg. The other day is the Spring Exquinox.

    Places We Do Not Go

               Into the bathroom after Luke

              In the coal bin behind the house

             Under the car when it is reversing

                  Out of the house at night

           Into New World without a Clubcard

        Out of the Warehouse without a bargain

    Into the kitchen when it smells like mushroom

               In the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant 

Out of the bathroom without applying air freshener

       

           These are places we do not go.

This Is Just To Say Parody

This Is Just to Say

By William Carlos William & Emma Ballingall

I have

Broken the greenhouse

That you left in your garden on Christmas Day 2018

I was only trying to play a game

With a hard tennis ball and a racket

Forgive me

That ball

Was uncontrollable

So fast

And so small

Sea week scavenger hunt

WALT Understand Earth’s Systems

Context: Sea week, moon, tides, ocean, ocean currents.

Questions Worksheet 

Fact Card#1: How does water move on the surface of the
ocean? The water in the ocean is constantly moving.
On the surface water moves in to form waves.

Fact Card#2: How does water move below the surface of the
ocean?  The water in the ocean is constantly moving.
Below the surface the water moves in great currents.

Fact Card #3: What are the two types of ocean currents?
Surface currents and deep currents. 

Fact Card #4: Define ocean currents. Ocean currents are
fast moving streams of water within the ocean.

Fact Card #5: Define the ‘surface current’. Currents that
move on or near the surface of the ocean are called surface
current.

Fact Card #6: List the factors which control the surface
currents. Three factors that control the surface currents are
the air currents, Earth's rotation and the location of the
continents.  

Fact Card#7: Which factors affect the flow of ocean surface 
water? Global wind belts are a major factor affecting the
flow  of the ocean surface water.

Fact Card#8: How are deep currents generated in the ocean?
Difference in water density due to the temperature gradient
moves the water and   creates deep sea currents.

Fact Card#9: Write down the characteristics of cold and
warm water. Cold water is more dense and it sinks and
moves. Warm water is less dense and it rises up.

Fact Card #10: Which ocean currents travel faster? Surface
currents travel much faster than deep ocean currents.

Fact Card #11: Write the factors that cause the deep 
currents. Deep ocean currents are caused by changes in
the temperature, salinity and the density of the water.

Fact Card #12: The gravitational pull of the moon and the
sun is also an important factor to cause ocean currents.

Fact Card #13: Give the definition of wave. A wave is a
rhythmic movement that carries energy through matter or
space. 

Fact Card#14: What are the causes of waves? Waves are
caused by wind, earthquakes and the gravitational force of
the moon and the sun.

Fact Card#15: List the characteristics of a wave. Wavelength,
wave height, crest 1 and crest 2 and trough.

Fact Card#16: Write the parameters on which the wave height
is dependent. Wave height depends on wind speed,
distance over which the wind blows and the length of time
the wind blows. 

Fact Card #17: What happens during tide?
Tide is a periodic rise and fall of the sea level under the
gravitational pull of the sun and moon. 

Fact Card #18: What do you mean by high tide? The water
level is at its highest.

 Fact Card #19: What do you mean by low tide? The water
level is at its lowest.

Fact Card #20: How does the Moon’s gravity pull ocean
water? The moon's gravity pulls the water on earth towards
it. The water moves up into a slight bulge on the side of
earth that faces the moon.

Fact Card#21: What is the cycle duration of high/low tide?
Generally one low tide one/high tide cycle takes at every
12 hours and 25 minutes.

Fact Card#22: Define tidal range. The difference in ocean
level  between high tide and low tide is called tidal range.

Fact Card#23: When does spring tide occur? Spring tides
occur when the Earth, the sun and moon are in a line.

Fact Card #24: Which tides occur during full/new moon?
Spring tides occur during the full moon and the new moon. 

Fact Card #25: When does neap tide occur? Neap tides
occur when the moon and the sun are perpendicular to
each other.

Fact Card #26: Which tides occur during quarter moon?
Neap tides occur during quarter moons.

Fact Card #27: Which tides are known as weak tides? Why?
Neap tides are weak tides as the gravitational forces of the
moon and the sun counteracting each other creating weaker
tidal forces.

Fact Card#28: Which tides are known as strong tides? Why?
Spring tides are strong tides because the moon and the
sun's gravitational force combine to create a strong  tide.
