Career Quest Results

In the last couple weeks in Social Studies we have been thinking about our careers. We used Career Quest to figure out what we could do in the future. Then we were asked to do 5 slides including facts and what qualifications we will need to get the job. Here is what was recommended that i should do in the future:

• Accountant

• Software Developer

• Systems Administrator

• Video Game Designer

• Data Analyst

Those were the careers that i was recommended.

How the heart and lungs work together.

How does the heart and lungs work together?

The body's oxygen transport system takes oxygen to the working muscles, through the circulatory and respiratory systems working together. ... As the muscles use the oxygen up, carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed into the blood. And this de-oxygenated blood is pumped back to the heart then on to the lungs.

ICT Final Design

This is the final of my ICT design this year. We were asked to make something about our culture. So i decided to make a waka. I made this using Tinkercad. To make this design i had to do a few different steps. First I had to make the side boats. Once i finished that I had to make the platform in the middle. After that, i had to make the flag and the NZ logo. Then finally it was finished. Here is the final of my waka after

 i

t was printed.

I can understand from the picture that muscle cell goes to muscle tissue then to the heart and then it goes to the circulatory system. Finally it goes to the human body

These are the rules for volleyball:

Maximum of 3 hits per side

Points are made on every serve for wining team of rally (rally-point scoring).

Player may not hit the ball twice in succession. (A block is not considered a hit.)

Ball may be played off the net during a volley and on a serve.

A ball hitting a boundary line is in.

A ball is out if it hits an antennae, the floor completely outside the court, any of the net or cables outside the antennae, the referee stand or pole, the ceiling above a non-playable area.

It is legal to contact the ball with any part of a player’s body.

It is illegal to catch, hold or throw the ball.

A player cannot block or attack a serve from on or inside the 10-foot line.

After the serve, front-line players may switch positions at the net.

Matches are made up of sets; the number depends on level of play. 3-set matches are 2 sets to 25 points and a third set to 15. Each set must be won by two points. The winner is the first team to win 2 sets. 5-set matches are 4 sets to 25 points and fifth set to 15. The team must win by 2 unless tournament rules dictate otherwise. The winner is the first team to win three sets.

I am able to explain any one of the energy:

Electrical Energy

Energy is the ability to do work, where work is done when a force moves an object. We need and we use energy every day, and energy is available in all different forms. Electrical energy is energy that's stored in charged particles within an electric field. Electric fields are simply areas surrounding a charged particle. In other words, charged particles create electric fields that exert force on other charged particles within the field. The electric field applies the force to the charged particle, causing it to move - in other words, to do work.

Reflection on Hauora and Well Being

Reflection

Some of the challenging things was thinking of ideas to use in my Hauora and Blog post.


Here is the finished product of my work:


https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1iiEvOM2p6IuSXp10n_rw1pRaI_zvdUz5ewVL3Do_1-s/edit


I enjoyed customizing stuff in my blog.


I have learnt about how to explain stuff like feelings and emotions and what well being mean.


I overcome the challenge by focusing and puting effort into my work.

This is the process of osmosis.

This week in science i have learnt about properties of matter. The 3 properties of matter are gas, liquid and gas.

Solids

Are often crystalline

Tend to be dense.

Cannot be poured.

Have a fixed volume.


Liquids

Take the shape of the container.

Are dense

Can be poured

Have a fixed volume


Gases

Take the shape of the container

Do not have crystals

are not dense

Are compressible.

Can be poured

Vary in volume

Science

This week in science i learnt all about plant and human cells. Whats interesting about it is how much of the same they are but are different things. The important part of the plant cells is chloroplast because it gives them color and can make its own food.


An aquatic ecosystem is an ecosystem in a body of water. Communities of organisms that are dependent on each other and on their environment live in aquatic ecosystems

In this video i am playing a beat i made from incredibox. 

What i found difficult about this piece was that it was hard trying to make the beats work good together.

I overcome this challenge by putting effort and time into my piece. 

My performance was good because i feel like i made a good beat. 

What i learnt from this task was how to use incredibox ans how to use soundtrap.

What i will do differently for next task is to learn a instrument instead of making beats.
