Hi everyone, it's me Finau and welcome back to my blog. We had our google meet for Te Reo. It was super fun because we all had a go at learning how to say "Kei te pehea te ahua o te rangi?".

Drama Divas - Google Meet/Electives

(our cheering/excited faces)


(our happy/surprised faces)


(our sad/disappointing faces)

(our embarrassed/shy faces)

(our shocked faces, also our laughing faces)

Hey everyone, it's me Finau and welcome back to my blog! Today for our 11am google meet, instead of home class we did this thing called electives. You had to choose a group you wanted to go to and I chose Drama Divas. It was super fun. I kept laughing because I found my face funny and the others in the google meet were very funny too. We were learning about what drama is and different types of facial expressions. Drama is acting. Drama is also screen plays, radio plays, stage plays, and telly plays (we called it Teletubies).The others in the google meet made amazing facial expressions. I enjoyed it and I don't think I wanna change groups. Thank you so much Miss Hill for being an wonderful tutor (she was a host/tutor). I hope you have enjoyed this post.

(our last session/google meet/kahoot)

Hello everyone, it's me Finau and welcome back to my blog! So today was my last in Stem/Science with Mrs Sharma. I have enjoyed all the lessons and learnt a lot of things. I know what a pollum tube is (it is something in a flower), I got to digest a flower, I made different types of bubbles (including cube bubbles, I learnt the science behind all the experiments I've done. My favourite lessons were Checking your heart rate, Making bubbles, and our last session/States of Matter. FACT: Did you know that the science behind a bubble, it's like a sandwich. The bread is the soap and the filling is water. That's why it can't change into a different shape, it stays as a circle. I learnt SO much things and I'm glad I did. We learnt everything is a fun way. Some of the images are just some of my favourite moments and times during stem.science. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Bye!

Tech @ Tamaki Stem/Science

 Carefully read and understand this recording and planning guide so you are systematic in scientific thinking, experimenting, recording and interpreting. 


Follow logically through each section so you are thorough in your science investigation steps. 


Complete each section with details needed so you have carefully logged your project...and so an outsider can know and understand too.


1

My science investigation TOPIC: 



2

My investigation question


the effect of different types of physical activity in heart rate


Which actions/activity resulted in the highest heart rate?

Lowest heart rate? Running on the spot as fast as you can (highest) and sitting (lowest).


Why do you think this might be? Sitting is where you relax and take a break and you don’t do anything but when you run you get very tired and your heart beats. 


HYPOTHESIS 

I think running as fast as possible on the spot is the highest heart rate. I think sitting is the lowest heart rate. 

3

Background research and knowledge I will explore as a backdrop to my investigation


High Blood Pressure: 120mmHg

Low Blood Pressure: 80mmHg


4

Aim of my investigation



5

My investigation steps

Materials / resources / people:




STEP 1

We followed the instructions.


STEP 2


We had to get a smart watch and and stopwatch.

STEP 3

We did activities like jogging,running,throwing/catching,etc.


STEP 4

After every activity we checked out blood pressure to see if it was high or low.


STEP X

We wrote it down in this google doc.

Result: 

I was right, (hypothesis). I ran on the spot and my blood pressure was the highest 167 and sitting down was the lowest 98. 



Hi everyone, it's me Finau and welcome back to my blog. Today at tech we did a science investigation. We did some activities and check our heart rate. It was very fun to do. I worked with Aye and Mrs Sharma was our teacher (yay,she came back). I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Bye!
