Olympic Graphs

For our Maths today, we used an online graph site to show the amount of medals countries have won while playing in the Olympics. We chose 4 countries of our choice and made different type of graphs to show how much Gold, Silver and Bronze medals those 4 specific countries have won by playing in the Olympics.

My Lunch In Kilojoules

Eating food is very important, but many foods that we love to eat may have a lot of kilojoules/calories which we are not aware of. I've made this small chart of foods I eat and how many kilojoules/calories they have as well as their size. This is one day of my lunch.

Life Cycle of a Maggot

Maggots are mostly known as disgusting creatures who roam around dirty places. Although you might see them as infectiousness bugs, it's been told by scientist that Maggots can actually heal you're wounds. They eat all the dead tissue inside you're wound and leave only the healthy and alive ones. Some Maggots on the other hand are quite infectiousness and could cause disease. As you can see on the bottom of this paragraph, I've made a diagram about the Life Cycle of Maggots.

Tupaia's Famous Drawing

 This photo was inspired by a Navigator from the Island of Ra'iatea named Tupaia. Tupaia could point out more than 100 islands, size, position of their reefs and harbours. Captain Cook and Tupaia were really good friends, Captain Cook offered Tupaia a ride on the Endeavor. Tupaia started drawing so that people could see the difference between Polynesians viewing his world, compared to how Europeans viewed it. 

Here's one of Tupaia's famous drawings.

The Internet In 60 Seconds

The internet is a social network holding people's private information. People can send messages to each other, especially if they're on the other side on the world due to the power of the internet. 

Here is my diagram I made about how the internet works within 60 seconds.

Christian's Diary

Dear diary,

We hear a loud bomb so close to us, so close to the class. I can see my classmates crying, some praying. I flashback to all my greatest family moments as I believe my last breath will be today. I remember all the dead bodies I've seen throughout my life, people suffering as they tell me to run and hide. Another bomb is set. I cry with horror in my eyes, my ears are covered with my dusty hands which are yet to be exploded off from my body.

Argo Cycle

For my reading activity my group and I were assigned to make a small diagram about the Argo Cycle and have a discussion about what Argo Floats are.  An Argo Float is an underwater device that measures the temperature and salinity of the ocean waters.  The Argo Float weighs about 25kg which includes it's instruments and the batteries inside.  They are 1.2m long.  The people that collect the data from the Argo Floats send to the satellite are Scientists, Meteorologist and Oceanographers.

This photo shows the Argo Cycle.  I have added the satellite and the receiving station for information.
