2011 Christchurch Earthquake
So this week and the week before we have been working on the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes here is my work on it.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 8 and in 2021 I will be a year 9. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.
2011 Christchurch Earthquake
So this week and the week before we have been working on the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes here is my work on it.
Mars rovers
so in science we have been researching about mars rovers . here is my work on it.
Aim: Can I navigate my way in a straight line without using my senses
Q1. What are our five senses?
Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch
Q2. How do people get lost in the jungle?

My legs aren't the same size in length
Hypothesis

Method:
Equipment
.Bucket
.blindfold
.safety partner
Instructions
1.put cotton wool in nose and ears
2.Put blindfold on
3.Put bucket over head
4.Get a partner

1.Telephone / Mobile Phone
So this way of communicating is the fastest way to communicate because if you send a text message to someone it delivers it in about 1 second and it's really fast to type if you spend lots of time texting on your phone. How does a text send? When you send a text it goes to a cellular tower over a pathway called the control channel. Then it goes to a SMS center (short message service center) resends that message to the tower closest to the recipient then it goes to their phone.
2. A radio
Radio transmitters work by supplying a rapidly changing electrical thing to a radio antenna like the ones on specific cars. To create a changing electromagnetic field. The speed at which these currents change controls the speed at which the electromagnetic field around the aerial changes. This is measured in hertz (Hz).
3. Paralinguistics
I don’t know much about this so I got it from the internet. Paralinguistics makes a reference to vocal communication that is different to any language. This includes points such as tone of voice, loudness, inflection, and pitch.
Consider the powerful effect that tone of voice can have on the meaning of a sentence. When said in a strong tone of voice, listeners might interpret approval and passion. The same words said in a hesitant tone of voice might convey disapproval and a lack of interest.
Why can't people hear you scream in space?
Sound is a mechanical wave, which means that it needs substance to travel through, such as air or water. In space, there is no air, so sound has nothing to travel through. If someone were to scream in space, the sound wouldn't even leave their mouths.
My Holiday.
My holiday was quite boring because me and my mum had to drop my dad off to Southern Cross to have surgery to get a cyst removed from his hip bone. Then me,my mum and my brother went to an escape room called the dark wizard at Escape Artists it was quite fun to do but it took us 1 hour and 6 minutes to get out of the room. Later on me,my mum,my brother and my brothers girlfriend went out for dinner at Joe's Garage. When we got home I stayed by myself because I didn't want to go see my dad in recovery or go to the beach at like 9:30 pm. The next day we picked up my dad from Southern Cross and when he got home I had to help him out with doing things around the house that he can't do at the moment.
Bye.
