kahui reaction questions

This week the year 7s and 8s have just moved into the new 3 Kahui's it looked really cool inside and out. The one thing I liked was the Kahui's were named after our native birds our one (Sh and Ts) was called Tieke Bh and Tz are in Riroriro and Mt, Al and Ds are in Mohua.

QUESTIONS

1# when I walked into the new buildings I saw.............
A modern classroom  that will be at the school for a very long time, the hill outside with the fake grass and the sand (I think), the light's on the TVs looked really cool, a mini tier seating which looked like the tiered seating at the learning commons at the school and 2 senior classroom's at the block

2# when I walked into the new buildings I thought.....
there would be a balcony on the roof of the Kahui, the teacher's meeting space was the breakout space, the breakout space was the teacher meeting space, because of the holes on the roof, I thought that we can't go to school until the holes on the roof were blocked off by the tiles on top and I was wondering what T11 room was but it was a resource room

Hurumanu - Solar Energy

Solar Energy

Aim: To find out which colour attracts the suns heat.

Hypothesis: I think the black cup will be the hottest because black is an absorbing colour. 

Materials:

1.  cup
2.  thermometer
3.  Chromebook
4.  timer
5.  paper
6. tinfoil

Steps

1.   get someone in your group to get the ingredients.
2.  get the experiment ready.
3.  wait for the teacher to put in the water and give you the thermometer.
4. put the light on 
5. put the timer on
6. when the timer goes off put your results in the finding's box below

Findings:

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16'c	16'c	16'c
15	18'c	20'c	19'c
30	18'c	24'c	21'c
45	19'c	27'c	23'c

Conclusion

I was right the black cup was the hottest because I know that black is a heat-absorbing colour

Activity:

In pairs rate the livability of coal vs solar energy.

Ella West visit

Today in period one today, we went to the auditorium to see Ella West the author of Rain fall, Night Vision and Theives visited the year 7-8s of Hornby high school we spent an hour listening to her and the last twenty minutes until period one was over we gave Ella West questions.

the one thing I enjoyed going to the auditorium and seeing Ella west was seeing Ella West and she writes books about real roads and places.

Night Vision is about a girl named viola who has a condition Which sunlight is deadly so she is like a vampire sleeps all day and awake at night and when the other teenagers are in bed she finds some money ( I think ) and she has to run away from someone in the dark but not in the light.

Rain Fall is about a fifteen year old girl named Annie who needs to go to her basketball match which the police has cornered her off her street and I think that she said in her mind it is my neighbor who I used to grow up with is he still alive and the whole book is about a murder case in a small town in New Zealand.

Conclusion when I can I want to read the book it seems really cool.

2. 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda and Citric Acid
3. BVV 1 heat lamp
4. 1 Thermometer
5. 100 ml of water
6. 1 rubber bung

Procedure;

1 come and collect all the materials from Mr palmers.

2 Setting up the lights, bottles thermometers and bungs. 

3 Mr Palmer adds baking soda mix along with 100ml of water.

4 Wait minutes and start recording the temperature.

Variables:

All water added to the bottles were from the classroom tap

Findings: The Greenhouse Effect Data 

Minutes	Bottle 1: Water	Bottle 2: CO2 Gas
0	18͑'c	18'c
5	22'c	25'c
