Science will be twice per week.
- Lesson 1: This will be an Experiment that involves blogging. You will be expected to open a new post, copy Mr Palmer's blog and paste it on your new post.
- Lesson 2: This will be an Investigation that relates to the topic from Lesson 1. It will be own choice and displayed in a way that you prefer. For example - PowerPoint, Doc, etc
BLOGGING.
All the blogs and science lessons will be displayed on Mr Palmers blog:
Bookmark it!
Expectations:
- 1 blog must be completed per Hurumanu lesson.
- A completed blog must have the four headings ( Aim, Method, Findings, Conclusion), correct writing and punctuation under each heading and be published. No post, no points.
- 2 images of the experiment/investigation on the blog.
Using the Scientific method of investigation:
Aim: What the experiment/investigation is about.
Method: Instructions on how the experiment/investigation is carried out. This includes the equipment.
Findings: What have we learnt or found out from our experiment/investigation. This is called Data, Information or Facts. It is displayed in a chart, table or picture.
Conclusion:
2 Hurumanu Goals:
1. Work efficiently so that task is finished in the given time
2. Uploading more blog post and creating them so that they are of a high standard.
2. Uploading more blog post and creating them so that they are of a high standard.
WATCH THIS VIDEO AND COMPLETE THE INVESTIGATION.
THE BIG PICTURE
- What animals keep our jackets warm? Plants like cotton as well as animals such as birds; silkworms, sheep-wool, etc.
- What animal makes our boots waterproof? The water-proofing was "invented" by the adaptation of ducks to be able to waddle in the water and float in it as well. While staying dry because of their waterproof feathers that not only keep them dry and warm.
- Where does the water in our rivers come from? Rivers come from or originate from catchments which are basically a drainage basin. It is an area whereat the surface water from factors such as rainfall form to a body of water.
- Why do we need healthy rivers? We need healthy bodies of waters as there comes the tap water that we drink out of.
- What are some of the good things about mosquitoes? "One" of the good things that mosquitoes contribute to the ecosystem. Since mosquitoes dwell on wet environments and that is the location where they lay their young; it provides food for the animals that dwell in there as well. Like for small fishes which provide food for the big fishes that we get to eat.
- Why are bees dying? Some believe that it might be the fault of cellphone towers as such, pesticides, exotic insects like mites as well as foreign diseases.
- What do bugs do to our leaves? Bugs such as bees pollinate approximately around 1/3 of the world crops, which would provide problems to our consumption of crops, plants, vegetables and fruits.
- R- Reduce
- R - Reuse
- R - Recycle
- How much dung would we be in if there were no dung decomposers? We would be covered in quite a lot of faeces to be specific a few feet of it in just several years.
- Who runs this planet? The planet is run by itself, we are the planet and the planet is us. For that reason as we are destroying the planet we are also destroying ourselves in the process.
GROUP ACTIVITY;
- Groups of 3 or 4 students.
- Need A3 copy paper.
