The current is the flow of electrons in a circuit and the voltage is the energy that is carried by the electrons. The current is the source of electrons and the voltage is carried by them.

Because the bulbs in the parallel are separated because it has multiple pathways. so the current that goes to that pathway where the switch is closed, it focuses the current to that bulb. A series is a one way circuit so it uses all the voltage at once when the switch is closed, the current goes around the one way circuit, so if there’s more bulb it’ll use less voltage and will result less brightness.

Recently, we have been learning about electricity and here is all that we’ve learnt about.

Current electricity is measured in two ways: current and voltage. Current is the flow of electrons, measured in amps and with an ammeter. Voltage, on the other hand, is how much energy the current is carrying, measured in volts and with a voltmeter.

These are circuits made in PHET. The left one shows a series circuit, and the right one shows a parallel circuit. With the same current and voltage, in theory, the parallel circuit’s bulbs should shine brighter. This is because in parallel circuits, voltage isn’t split between the different bulbs as long as they aren’t on the same pathways. On the other hand, voltage in series circuits, if there’s more than one bulb, is split between the two bulbs. Current works the complete opposite, the amps being split between two pathways in a parallel circuit, and stays the same in a series circuit, Visualise it like this: the circuit is a river, and parallel circuits split the river into different pathways. The amps are like the amount of water, being split between the different pathways but the voltage is like the speed, staying the same even while splitting into separate pathways.

the reason bulbs in a parallel circuit are brighter than a series circuit is because in a parallel circuit every branch has the same voltage. the reason a parallel circuit is better than a series circuit is because a parallel circuit has multiple switches to turn it off instead of one for an example instead of one switch turning off all lights it turns off one. The difference between current and voltage is that voltage is where it lights up a light or electronic etc. A current is where the electrons flows through the wires or circuit.

Walking corpse syndrome

Walking corpse syndrome – this syndrome does not have a physical change because it’s a mental health condition, not a physical condition. But some people made a symbolism of the walking corpse syndrome, which is a zombie and a ghost.

Questions and answer

1. Why and how did the patient feel like a walking corpse?

Answer: Why? It could have been caused by a very severe psychotic depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or something as simple as brain injuries. Our brain is the most important organ in our system because it’s our main control of our body, that’s why things like this and the accent disorder could be caused because of the brain.

How? It could be caused by delusions, more specifically nihilistic delusions. The patient believes that life has no purpose and they could even believe that their own blood, and any internal organs have vanished or turned to rot. Many of them, which is technically all of them, would stop doing basic survival care such as eating, drinking, or anything because they believe that they don’t need any food or care because they think that they are a corpse.

1. At what age does this happen normally?
2. When was this syndrome discovered?

Kia Ora, In health we had to blog about  we are interested in for a medical or health issue. My topic I picked is Auto-Brewery Syndrome.

What is Auto-Brewery Syndrome?

Auto-Brewery Syndrome is a rare condition where the body makes alcohol inside the gut. This can happen when yeast or bacteria grow too  much in the digestive system. The person with this can feel drunk even though they haven’t consumed any alcohol.

What impact will it have on our hauroa?

Taha Tinana: It can impact out Taha Tinana by being tired, dizzy or even loss or balance. Taha Hinengaro: It can affect the mental and emotional side because they can feel confused and stressed.Taha Whanau: It can impact Taha Whanau because some people don’t understand their condition. Taha Wairua: It can affect taha Wairua because it can make the person feel disconnected from their normal life.

What are the Symptoms?

• Brain Fog
• Mood Changes
• Clumsiness
• Delay Reaction Time
• Confused
• Slurred Speech
• Nausea and Vomiting
• Seizures
• Fainting

How can you treat Auto-Brewery Syndrome?

You can treat it based on the cause. Doctors use medicines to reduce the yeast or bacteria in the gut, but a person also needs to change their diet, like reducing foods that contains a lot of sugar and carbohydrates.

What triggers Auto-Brewery Syndrome?

• Too much yeast or bacteria in the gut
• Taking antibiotics
• Certain medial conditions
• Eating a lot of carbohydrates or sugar

Facts

• You can get drunk without drinking
• Auto Brewery Syndrome is very rare
• The alcohol is made by microorganisms in the gut
• It can affect their daily lives

Hello! Welcome back to my blog! For Health today we are going to research an area of medicine! I picked Neurology. Neurology is the branch of medicine that looks ate our nervous systems, and basically our brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves running throughout the body. Your brain literally controls everything you do, how you move, and sending signals to your body.

How Neurology Impacts Hauora 

Taha Tinana – Positive impact: When our nervous system works well, our reflexes are sharp, our muscles react quickly, and we don’t feel any random pain. Getting enough sleep and wearing a helmet while riding a bike keeps out brain safe and healthy. Short term: Getting a minor bump on the head or a headache can make us feel tired or dizzy for a while. Long Term: Issues like migraines or severe concussions can permanently change how someone moves, sleeps, or manages pain.

Taha Hinengaro – Positive impact: A healthy brain helps us process feelings, stay focused in class, and handle stress. Short Term: Being tired or overwhelmed makes our brain fog up, this makes us easily annoyed or moody all day. Long Term: Damage to the brain can lead to long term anxiety, depression, or maybe the difficulty of learning.

Taha Whānau – Positive Impact: Our brain lets us ready body language, pick up on tone of voices, and stay connected with our friends and family. Short Term: When our brain is drained or stressed, we might accidentally snap at our friends or isolate ourselves. Long term: Serious brain conditions can change how someone’s personality or memory is, making it tough on family members to change how someone interacts.

Taha Wairua – Positive Impact: Feeling mentally sharp helps us feel confident about who we are and it helps us with our sense of purpose. Short Term: Stress can make us feel completely disconnected from what we care about. Long term: Long term struggles can make people feel like they’ve lost a piece of their identity or their place in the community.

3 Questions about Neurology

1. How fast do messages travel through our nervous system? Up to 120 metres per second. That’s the reason why you pull your hand away from a hot stone before you even have the time to think.

2. Does our brain actually rest when we sleep? No, the brain never turns off. While we sleep, our brain clears out toxic waste products built up during the day, it also organizes memories from school, and repairs things.

3. Why do we get a brain freeze? When something super cold touches the roof of your mouth, the blood vessels shrink and then expand rapidly as they warm up. This sends a panic signal to your brain. And then your brain mistakenly thinks that the signal is coming from your forehead.

Fun Fact!

Your brain generates about 20 watts of electricity while you’re awake, which is also enough power to light up a small LED light bulb. 

Foreign  Accent Syndrome

Foreign Accent Syndrome stems from a damage in the part of the brain associated with speech. This happens when a person suddenly wakes up speaking in a different accent. It is commonly caused by stroke, trauma, tumors, and other neurological conditions.
The most common treatment would be speech therapy to help a person bring back their normal speaking ways.

1.Are they actually speaking a new language or accent?

No, individuals with FAS do not acquire a genuine foreign accent or learn a new language

2.Is the condition permanent, and how is it treated?

The duration of FAS varies wildly depending on the underlying cause, and it can be temporary or permanent.

3.What Causes Foreign Accent Syndrome?

FAS typically happens when there is damage to the parts of the brain that control the execution and planning of speech.

1 interesting facts about Foreign accent Syndrome 

a rare medical condition where a person starts speaking their native language with what sounds like a foreign or different regional accent, following brain damage or neurological disruption.

Depression is a common and serious mood disorder that causes persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, and a loss of interest in activitiesUnlike normal, temporary sadness caused by difficult life events, clinical depression lasts for most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks and significantly impacts your ability to function. It is a whole-body medical condition—not a personal weakness—and it affects how you think, feel, sleep, eat, and handle daily activities

So today i’m gonna be talking about to get fit specifically 13 to 18 years old.

How to stay active? 

Everyday probably after school or work you should go outside for 60 minutes to do push ups or other fitness. You gotta be active so you can stay healthy and your heart rate beats alot faster.

Theses are the fitness that you could do with your whanau.

• playing games
• walking, running or riding a bike to get from place to place
• participating in cultural activities such as kapa haka
• working
• dancing Tamariki giving heart and soul kapa haka performance.

Personal fitness goal

When me and my mates were doing the fitness we felt tired and hard working because the fitness video was 11 minutes. We develop new fitness skills to teach other friends when their bored.

Staying fit for teens

The recommended amount of physical activity is for young people of an hour of  exercise (e.g, aerobic exercise, light movements and muscle and bone strengthening.

Normal Resting HR (for teens) – 60 to 100 bpm

(Before) My Resting HR – 15 x 3 = 60

(After) My Resting HR – 40 x 3 = 120

Personal fitness goal

We had three videos to choose from. These were labelled as Beginner, Moderate, Advanced, and don’t even judge me, I did beginner. Why? Because I have free will.

When I did the video, I didn’t feel embarrassed but quite relaxed and motivated. The video offered easy stretches and not intense movement. My personal fitness goals are that I move my body and exercise when I can (physical), be in a quiet and isolated place to exercise or have music to help me focus (mental).

Young Kids should:

• do 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day
• be active in as many ways as possible
• be active with friends and whanau at home, school and in the community
• spend less than two hours a day, out of school time, in front of a TV, computer or game console.

The 60 minutes can be completed all at once or in chunks throughout the day. This might include:

• playing games
• walking, running or riding a bike to get from place to place
• participating in cultural activities such as kapa haka
• working
• dancing Tamariki giving heart and soul kapa haka performance.

Being active is a great way to spend time with family and friends, explore the local community or re-energise during break times at school.

My group and I did the advance fitness test video. My heartbeat per minute was normally 40 and then after we did the fitness, my heart beat turned 60. That’s a 20 BPM difference.

Doing the video felt entertaining and a little bit exhausting but overall it was fun.

The vide helps our body to move more and stretch which help us achieve our fitness goal in an enjoyable way.

When you strengthen your Taha Tinana through movement and nutrition, it acts as a sturdy wall that keeps your entire Whare Tapa Wha balanced. Taking care of your physical body directly releases dopamine hormones that lift your thoughts and emotions, while giving you the energy to actively connect and engage with your loved ones.

Hello bloggers

My teacher wanted me to learn about Ben reid,and printmaking/sketching out tetra packs and how to sketch,etching,printing and how to apply ink to a tetra packs design so I could make Art about sea life and many not will know sea creatures

To achieve this I did many practice prints and designs to be able to be confident to print,also did a lot of researching into artists prints and how the added texture an dimension to their pieces of art.

This is the type of art(printmaking) we looked at before we started the prints.

(Here is my work)

I enjoyed this work because I found it quite forgiving because when I made a mistake I could fix it very easily, and also I enjoyed making the colour of my ink. But I struggled with the sketching because I wasn’t sure how it would looked flipped or once it was printed. Something I would do differently is make the print more exciting,add more designs,and maybe add a gradient of different colours.

Hello bloggers! Welcome back to another blog!

1. Define current AND voltage. Explain the difference between them.

Voltage is the electrical push and the difference in potential energy between two points, acting like pressure. It is measured in volts (V). While current is the number of electrons flowing past a specific point. It is measured in amps (A).

3. Explain why the bulbs in your parallel circuit are brighter/dimmer than bulbs placed in series. Refer to how both voltage and current behave in your answer!

In a series circuit, lightbulbs receive voltage from the power source in their pathways, except the current doesn’t divide. That is because electrons only have one pathway to flow through. 

In parallel circuits, lightbulbs are receiving voltage from the same power source, but they have their own different branches. The more lightbulbs in each loop the dimmer it gets, because they share the same power source, and each individual lightbulb must add up to the exact same voltage of the power source. Unlike current, electrons divide when it goes to a different conducting pathway. The electrons add up, once they meet again. 

The drug I have chosen for this assessment is party pills and some people call it by dance pills or club drugs and a few other names. Party pills are a drug that makes you more energetic and happy. They usually look like small round pills that are quite often colorful. A few reasons people might use it is to be more energetic at a party or to be more happy and they might take it just to get high. The drug has some positives which are just being more energetic and moody but it also has quite a few negative effects. Some of the negative effects are things like more anxiety and panic attacks also severe headaches and dehydration. Party pills are illegal to possess, use, buy, sell and make. To keep yourself safe against this drug avoid going to people who use it often or want you to use it with them. If you see any or someone with some avoid them or call the police.

LSD is the drug name for one of the most potent hallucinogen, mood- changing chemicals and its other name that are commonly used is acid and lucy. It is sold on the streets in microdots. It is made from lysergic acid, which is foond in the ergot fungus that develops on rye and other grains. It is mainly produced in the United States in crystals in illegal laboratories and later on converted into a liquid for distribution – it is odorless, colorless, and has a bit of bitter taste. Occasionally it is sold in liquid form; but no matter what form it comes in, it still deliver its users to a seious disconnection form reality. They call it a ‘trip’ usually lasting 12 hours or so. As things could go wrong which do really happens, it is called a ‘bad trip’.

These are common reasons why people take LSD. People often take LSD as a coping mechanism to attempt escape from the severe stress, past traumas, or on-going mental health struggles such as depression and anxiety. Curiosity that is heavily influenced by environment and social circles can drive people’ natural curiosity to find out what those alternate realities actually feel like. In some certain places, LSD atre easy to access and laws are not strongly enforced.

Clinical tests state that controlled amount of LSD can reduced the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and alcohol use disorder, with benefits lasting weeks to months. Many users report eophoria, a greater empathy, and new perspective on life or problems. Moreover, some research suggests minor improvement in certain types of memory and verbal fluency in the days after a single dose.These positives are most likely when LSD is used in controlled and supervised , not as a street drug.

The negative associated with the use of this drug are the prodcution of LSD such as delusions and visual hallucinations. Over time, the user’s sense of time and self changes. Sizes and shapes of objects become deformed –  normal bodily sensations can turn into something strange and bizarre which could give the user the feeling of hearing colors and seeing sounds. This could affect the user’s ability to make wise choices and detect common dangers negatively. WIth repeated use over a few days, the body quickly develops tolerance to LSD; so the same dose  have a weaker effect, which means having to take ever more doses to achieve a ‘high’. BAd trips and flashbacks are only part of the risks of LSD. There’s a possibility of worsening your health problems in vulneable people.

Explain the Short term and Long term effects on wellbeing (cover P.I.S effects)    DO NOW

A short paragraph explanation of how the stated impacts on wellbeing interrelate DO NOW

LSD is classied as a Class A in New Zealand meaning that it is very prohibited as it carries a very high risk of harm. Dealing, supplying, or making LSD could lead you to penalties of up to life imprisonment. However, the possession of LSD carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison, a $1,000 fine , or both. Although, a tstric scientific or medical research be allowed to use the substance with special governmental permits.

As it written on the link that was provides, it states “The real answer is to get the facts and not to take drugs in the first place.” – this means that knowing its consequences or risks. Be in an enviromenmt where people pushes you to be better and lead you in the right path.  Find a healthy coping mechanism as it prevents you to turning harmful behaviours such as drug use that offer quick relief but cause long-term damage.

Scenario: It is the start of interval; you receive a text. The text is from your friend. Your friend tells you to meet them at the back of the field to use LSD with them. 

Hello everyone today I am doing an assesment

These are three photo one is a Parallel with a Switch and the other is a series circuit and then one is both

The diffent is that if the series had a Swich that would turn of both no matter where it is. When the Parallel that has a switch where that switch is only turn off one light.

Define:

Current: the current is the flow of electrons.

Voltage: voltage is going to stay the same not matter what because it is like the drop of the thing and they will drop the same high

Electricity: electricity is made out of electrons that is a type energy so then it mean that it able to be made from other energy or as it is call transformed. (this one was added and was not a part of the Assesment)

The reason the parallel Circuit is brighter/dimmer then the series is because of the current of a series is the same for both because it goes to both right after and not spliting when in a parallel it has too split or only one will not get the electicity witch is needed to run both of them and it is about voltage to if a bulb is bigger it take more voltage that means there is less for the other bulbs and that may make them Dimmer but if they are brighter it mean that even after is split it has more then the Series because it had to split and it close to the same with voltage with a Series it may not drop as much and in a parallel it does not change even when split and it means the first bulb didn’t take up to much voltage.

That all goodbye everyone

Circuit disgrams on paper and phet:

1. Circuit with 2 bulbs and a switch placed in series.
2. Circuit with 2 bulbs placed in parallel, with a switch controlling just one of the bulbs.

Difference between current and voltage:

Current is a measure of the flow of eletrons which is a push from voltage.

Voltage is often generated by batteies. and current electricity is driven by it.

The differentnes betwen  current and voltage is that current is how fast how the eletrons travel. voltage is the thing that pushes eletrons through the circuits.

Differences between series and parallel circuits:

A series circuit it means the components are in the same line and only one path for the current to flow in. that means if one bulb fails they all  go out.

A parallel circuit it means next to each other  that means there are multiple pathways for the current to flow in. that means If one bulb fails/breakes the others will still go.

Why bulbs in a parallel and series circuit are brighter/dimmer:

In a parallel circuit the light will be brighter than in a series circuit that is because in a series circuit the voltage(the push of eletrons) is divided  between the light bulbs meaning the light will be more dimmer then in a parallel circuit.

The parallel circuit will be more brighter then the series circuit. This is because aulike in the series circuit it doesn’t split paths or divides. So the current carries the same amount of voltage for each light bullb.
