Electricity

Today in metal tech me learned about Electricity, We learned what it is, how it works and how many volts things have. We learned about the different ways energy is made. These two ways are chemical and magnetical. We used maths and science in our deduction of electricity. We also learnt that cars have 12.7 volts, AA batteries have 1.5 volts and sockets in the wall have 220 - 240 volts.

We built bridges in MTY (Metal Technology). Our goal was to hold as much weight we could on our bridges. The winning team held 49 kgs. My teams bridge held 18 kg.

My understanding of Human Rights and Social Justice

1. What insights did I have into 'Human Rights' and 'Social Justice' as I learned about how others are treated in other countries?

People or civilians in other countries that do not have enough resources to support their country or continent are unable to uphold rights because it would be unfair. In some cases people who are richer in these poor countries have more rights than poor people who live in the streets.

2. What questions about Human Rights and Social Justice do I need answering?

Why do richer and higher standing people have more rights than people who live in the streets. Is it because they are greedy and want more power. I think they don’t want to share their power and money because they are scared of what the people can do.

Science Reflection

This week and last week we have been looking into how to perform an experiment with the needed steps. First we have to recognise what we wanted to learn about. We then predict what the outcome would be when we finish. After that we create a way we are going to test our problem or experiment. Then we perform the experiment. When we have performed the experiment we analyse the data and come to an outcome. Last we write a conclusion that summarise what we did and how. We are focusing on this for next years science fair.

Area Perimeter

We mad a slideshow showing how to figure out the area and perimeter of a shape. Here is my slide I made.

I am sort of good at Rainbow Six Siege, Black Ops 3 and Mine craft. My goals for before this year ends is to reach level 100 on Rainbow and to at least get platinum 3 on ranked. At school i'm good at maths. My hopes for the future is that I could move over to Aussie when my brother leaves to live there and start my life.

Culture Video

For the past week we had to make a 3 minute video showing our or someone elses culture. We did maori and these are little clips of the things we made while at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Our creations were all put into a vr world so that we could explore it. Here is our culture video we made with pictures of our experience there as well.
