Mars

How to get to Mars

Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts

2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover

3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts:

What are the 5 parts for?

Link: Rovers 5 parts

Fill in the table below.

Name:	Purpose:
Wheels	The purpose of wheels is to get across hard terrain and travel across the planet to find new exciting things.
Solar Panel	For the solar panels to work they need to be flapped up so that the sun can reach them, The Rovers need the energy to drive so they use solar panels, solar panels are a source of connecting or transferring energy when the sun is shining on the solar panels.
Laser	To cut threw rocks or other materials, or Protection.
Camera	There are 23 cameras on any of the Nasa Rovers the main camera in the front on the long arm can make a 360 spin, new facts, The Rovers cameras are for taking photos of Mars and its terrain so that the scientists on earth can find out more about how Mars works.
Shovel, rock pick, drill	They need these types of stuff on their Rovers to scan, what type of materials or what the terrain of the planet is so we can live on the planet...

2. In groups of 3, you will Design, Draw and
Make a Mars Rover out of Lego Technics.

Materials:

1. Lego Technics
2. A4 paper
3. Pencil
4. Ruler
5. Eraser

The drawing and model must have:

• 6 wheels
• 1 camera
• 1 tool at the front that includes a shovel, pick and drill.
• 1 solar panel
• 1 laser that points at the ground

( Take a photo and upload  your Mars rover onto your blog.)

3. Mars Facts

Link: Facts

You will need to find out the following:

Fact	Earth	Mars
Picture of planet
Length of 1 year	365 days	687 Days
Length of 1 day	24 hours	1d 0h 37m
Distance from the sun	149.6 million km	227.9 million km
Distance from Earth.	54.6 million km	54.6 million km
Gravity:	9.806 m/s²	3.711 m/s²
Colour:	Blue, Green & White...	Red, Maroon, White
Temperature	-88 to 57 C	-80 to 60 C (Average)
Rainfall	39 inches	518m
Atmosphere	Nitrogen   Oxegen Argon Others	Carbon Dioxide Water Vapor
Surface	510.1 million km	144.8 million km
Moons and names	Moon   Our home...	Deimos Phobos

Conclusion: Write about what you have learned.

I Have learned that mars have other names to it,
and how the atmosphere works or is built from,
I have learned that time is different in some ways
because of one year at mars, actually a true fact,
One year is 687 days & One day is 1D 0H 37M I thought that was Really Cool.    

First PE: Term 3

Aim: The aim of this task is to talk about or answer these questions and to see if we could be a Team player of the whole Team, 

For this weeks lesson of the first PE harumanu, we are talking or answering these questions, We got the chance to assign different people in your team to have a role. Example, I am an Offensive coach, Brianna is our Manager, etc, 

Our Questions are...   

1. What makes a Good Team Player? What skills and attributes do you need to Display/Use? Answer: For me Personally, What I think it is to be a Good team player is to have a good understanding of your fellow teammates and everyone in your team so that everyone you play with inside your team, You and them will know what to do with Teamwork, Collaborating with ideas & Communicating,
   
2. What is my Role within your team? What does your Role Involve?                                  Answer: For My team, I think it takes a lot of responsibility to do one job to always help your team out or to take something as your own responsibility, for you to take on being a manager, Captain or a Coach/Trainer you do need the knowledge and burden on your back.
3. How could I be a better team player? List 3 things to work on and how you can be successful at this? 

1. To be Good at Communication, Shouting out to your teammates to get the ball or to create options & space.
2. Sharing the ball around to create more opportunities for other people or space,
3. Skills, Having skills to do more passing, again sharing the ball around, to be more precise about skills, having pride in your game or being fit... 

  

Individual Learning Log

Aim: The aim of this blog post or task is to see what types of stuff we do and what things are right or bad, and at the bottom, we highlight what one we are interested in,

Individual Learning Log

Video	Analysis/ summary thoughts of video
Social: (Instafamous)	Good things: Money Popularity People will recognize the good things that you do, Bad things: No privacy People know where you are and also when you are there...
Environmental:	Good things: Food Oxygen Crops Water Liquid Vege Fruits Bad things: Global warming, Climate change, Bad water, Toxic air ( Pollution ) Wastes in our oceans,
Ethical:	Good things: Humans can take control of robots, No more racism, Make there own competitive sports, Everyone can have the same abilities, Bad things: Hard to reproduce robots Robots can gain intelligence and overtake mankind...
My Brainstorm for an issue I am interested in
Social issue - Bullying. Environmental issue - Everyone keeps littering, Ethical issue - Robots Gain Intelligence which leads to...

Home Chemistry: Carnivorous Plants

AIM: TO LEARN ABOUT THE NATURE OF

PLANTS

Carnivorous Plants

Plants fall into two categories:

1. Evergreen

2. Deciduous

Deciduous

Evergreen

Find three examples of each:

Evergreen:

1. Pine Tree  
2. Kauri Tree
3. Eucalyptus Tree  

Deciduous;

1. Maple Tree  
2. Oak Tree   
3. Spruce  

LEAVES

Simple                                 Compound

Choose a leaf and do a leaf rubbing.

Example:

Plant type: Deciduous / Evergreen

Leaf type: Simple / Compound

Leaf color: Green

RESEARCH 4 TYPES OF PLANT GROUPS

1. Carnivorous plants
2. Pine trees
3. Fruit trees
4. NZ Natives

You will need to do the following:

1. Title: NZ Natives
2. Examples:

• Kauri - Agathis australis, commonly known by its Māori name kauri, is a coniferous tree of Araucariaceae in the genus Agathis, found north of 38°S in the northern districts of New Zealand's North Island.
• Rimu - Dacrydium cupressinum, commonly known as rimu, is a large evergreen coniferous tree endemic to the forests of New Zealand. It is a member of the southern conifer group, the podocarps. The former name "red pine" has fallen out of common use.
• New Zealand Cabbage Tree - Cordyline australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree, cabbage-palm is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to 20 meters tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to 1 meter long.
• New Zealand Christmas Tree - Metrosideros excelsa, with common names pōhutukawa, New Zealand pohutukawa, New Zealand Christmas tree, New Zealand Christmas bush, and iron tree, is a coastal evergreen tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, that produces a brilliant display of red flowers made up of a mass of stamens.

Habitat: (select one from the list)

1. Desert / beach / mountains / swamp / plains / forest

Climate (select one from the list)

1. Hot / warm / cold
2. Rainy / dry /
3. Windy / still

Conclusion:

For this Science blog or task, we all had to grab a couple of leaves for the next activity, when we got back to class we had to either scetch over them or try to draw a compound leaf or Simple leave and I learned that I can tell the different to a Simple & Compound plant.
