Kauri Dieback

LI: to understand the meaning of the Kauri Dieback disease

Our challenge today was to use the links provided and our own smart searching skills to find out what Kauri dieback is and what we need to do to try and prevent this from spreading. We need to know about this so that we do our part to keep our Kauri safe when we go on hike at camp.

What does the Karuri Dieback do to, the Kauri Dieback is a disease that kills trees like small trees in the mud. Animals and other trees can spread the disease too. 

Inquiry Tasks on Legends of Learning

This week’s assignment for Inquiry was on Legends of Learning.  The first task was about caring for and meeting the needs of different living beings (plant, herbivorous animal and carnivorous animal), providing them with the energy source corresponding to each species.  I learnt that you can’t survive with no food forever.  The second task was about how the amount of matter in a substance is conserved when it changes form, even when it appears to vanish.  I learnt that you always have to bring food with you.  The last task was about identifying decisions involving income, spending, saving, credit, and charitable giving – this is a hint at what our inquiry topic is next term. I learnt that you always have to be hydrated.

Dancing Raisins

Today in inquiry I did observe and describe the behavior of and raisins and carbonated beverage. I learned about what carbonated is carbonated is a liquid that is fizzy or bubbly. And I learned about beverage is a liquid you can drink and Destiny means is bouncing and float means a reaction.

At first the reason sings because it’s Density is greater than the carbonation liquid then the carbon dioxide Bubble stick to all of the little creases of the raisin and increase the raisins volume. Eventually enough bubbles connect to the raisin and to pull them up to the top of the liquid. As the raisins hit the surface the air bubbles pop and gravity pulls them back down. This process repeats itself to make the raisins look like they are dancing. And here is my work.
