Therefore I’m recording the balloon as I rub my hair to react to positive and negative. After rubbing my hair for about a couple seconds, I stick to my jacket to see if the jacket sticks and floats. The balloon usually sticks to my jacket if the balloon has been rubbed and works to stick.

static electicity

static electricity is created when certain materials rub against each other and some of the electrons are transferred from one material to the other. If a material gains electrons it will have a negative charge if a material loses electrons it will have a positive charge lighting is caused by static  electricity building up in clouds you may also have experienced  static electricity after jumping  on a trampoline or wearing a polar fleece that has just come out of the dyer.

The fun activity was doing the experiment with the balloons making static electricity. we had to rub the the balloon on our hair or jumper than bring it close to small paper and acted as a magnet. The  paper was attracting to the balloons and made them stick to the balloon and after a few minutes the paper will fall down because there is no more static charge.

When You Compare Static Electricity and Electric Current It’s Called Science

Kia ora, in my science class we have been learning about currents and magnets, today’s topic was specifically Static electricity and electric currents.

Static electricity and electric current are different, but the difference is what?

Static electricity is when electrons are transferred from one object to another and become stationary. If an object is holding static electricity, then it is negatively charged and will attract objects that are positively charged.

To experiment with static electricity we tried rubbing a balloon in someones hair to see if it would stick, it did. Below is a photo of a strand of hair being drawn to a balloon by static electricity.

At 7.20 I got picked up and we went to parkarka. we started doing socita for the roof we did 8 socita with 5 we had to notch. We went around measuring them. Marking them on a block as we go. Once we gather all the measurements. We cut the socita to length. Before we shoot it in we put it up on the wall and there are some lines running through so we had to make some notch in them. Then we glued up with MSP so water cant come through the house then shooting finishing nails in

Trip to Te Akau.

Last Thursday we went out to elliots bay to plant 700 trees. We left school at around 9am after packing our bags, boots, and lunches into the van which we took two vans, one for the girls and one for the boys. Once we were ready to leave we got into the van and left the school.

The drive there was good but it felt like it was ages. The drive to Russell was really boring and then it was fun once we got on the ferry. Once we passed Russell the rest of the drive was pretty good and the scenery was getting better the closer we got to elliots bay.

When we finally arrived we parked up and had a look around before going for a walk to where we were going to plant the trees. We planted trees just by the beach so we had a nice view while planting. After getting talked to about the area of where we were planting and why we were planting and the history of the place itself we split off into groups of four to complete a section at a time.

In my group was me, Pauline, Tui, and Tyler worked in the far area.  We all went to different sections and started planting. After about 15-20 mins we completed our area and started moving on to the next areas to help others. After helping everyone else we all went for a photo down on the beach, it was such an amazing view.

We all went back for lunch, we had sandwiches made by the school and some of my own lunch. After lunch we hung around for a bit then made our way back to school. Overall this experience was so amazing and I’m glad we had a lovely view in the background.

1.3 Maths test

i feel like i did not try my best in the test. My strength in the test was probably the providing a statement, agreeing with the amounts of food waste poster. My weakness was definitely trying to find the supermarket with the cheapest prices of fruit.

1.3 Mathmatics Derived Grade

At first when I sat down and looked at the paper I regretted coming today I was saying to myself that I was definitely going to fail. So I had a breather and really looked at questions, the more I had look and read the questions the more I started to understand until I reached my flow state and locked in. I switched my brain on and started answering the questions. I looked in the resource sheet and got all the information I needed to answer the questions, I started answering the questions left and right. I guess all my hard work in class payed off because I ended up finishing the whole thing.

1.3 Mathematics Derived Grade Exam: My thoughts.

Personally I think that I did pretty good in this exam because it had questions that were very simple and often didn’t need much thinking to complete. At first I thought that it would have been a very hard exam but surprisingly it wasn’t. I think my strengths in this was that I am happy that I studied so I found it easy, I would say that my weaknesses could be that sometimes second guess my answers even after doing the working out for it. I would be surprised if I fail because the exam was that easy, and it could be useful in the future when I try find a job that allows me a sustainable income, it might be helpful. The major threats in this assessment was that there was a lot of writing involved in the question answers and working out both!

Overall I found the test simple/easy enough and I’m looking forward to seeing my score/if I passed or not.

Math Exam 1.3

Today I had my math exam and I think I did alright considering I had self doubts when I was thinking about it before it had even started. I think I did better than I thought I would be able to because when I first saw the paper and the exam I didn’t know if I would even understand but after reading it properly i started writing and it felt easier after that.

Mathematics Derived Grade 91946

During my math exam in the hall, I think I gave it a try, and I had an ok experience just being in silence and no help from teachers to classmates. Even though I could identify some of the things on the graph, the hard part was showing the calculations or even doing the calculations by myself, while also finding limitation and things to understand other ways of how a graph could be hard to tell or understand the average of something.

My strengths were that I could atleast identify the things on the graphs and think of some limitations.

And weaknesses were that I forgot a few calculations on percentages and things like that, and I should have been maybe a little more prepared.

1.3 Mathematics Derived Grade 91946

Walking away from my derived grade assessment, I felt genuinely pleased I finished the entire paper, which is a big milestone for me.
My biggest strength was time management. I paced myself well, didn’t get stuck on hard questions, and completed every part which is something I’ve struggled with before. I felt confident applying core methods and formulas to familiar questions, and stayed calm when things looked tricky, working through them logically.
On the weaker side, I still lack confidence with multi-step or unfamiliar questions, and sometimes rushed my written explanations so they weren’t as clear as they should be. I also only had time for a quick scan at the end, meaning small slips in working or units might have slipped through. A few advanced topics still aren’t fully solid.
Looking ahead to the end-of-year exam, this assessment showed me exactly what to expect question styles and structure. I now know exactly which topics and skills to focus my revision on, turning weaknesses into strengths. Proving I can finish the paper has also given me a huge confidence boost.
The main threats are complacency doing well here could make me skip needed practice and rush without proper checking. Small errors could cost marks in the final exam, which also covers everything, so I must keep revisiting all topics, not just what’s fresh.
Overall, this was a strong result. I have the ability and pacing to succeed now I just need to polish my explanations, master the trickier topics, and check my work carefully to ace the final exam.

1.3 Mthematics Derived Grade

I felt pretty ready for our maths derived grade exam, and I think I did really good. One of my biggest strengths was definitely reading graphs because I found it easy to look at the data and figure out what it meant. My main weakness was reading the poster and having to talk about it, which was way harder for me. But I’m still keen to keep going, and I want to do the next external exam so I can get those 5 credits.

Planting in Agriculture

On Monday I planted some coriander. I put some seed soil in a try with holes and then i put the whole packet of seeds in with some more seed soil sprinkled on top. My plant takes 4-5 weeks to harvest. The best time to sow coriander is in spring all the way to autumn.

Seedling Care.

Keep seedbeds or trays evenly moist during the germination period of 7-14 days. Apply vegetable fertiliza  two weeks after germination for healthier plants and maximum crop. Protect your seedling from slugs, snails, and insect pests: go to mcgreggors.co.nz for appropriate plant health and pest control products 

Planting your own kai is important because it improves your health, saves money, and so you know what is in your kai and how your making it.
