A presentation on New Zealand

My group and I have been working on a presentation about our country New Zealand.I hope that by reading our(people  in my group Seini-mino and Tamara) presentation you will at least  learn one thing about New Zealand.

Our egg drop challenge

Room 20 were given a co-operative challenge to complete.It was an egg drop. We were a limited amount of resources they were 8 ice block sticks,a strip of cello tape,10 straws and obviously a egg. In my team was Tamara and Kalim.

Our team was thinking of a unbreakable design so Kalim started to make a plan. Eventually we got up to the part of making it. We built a barrier around the egg using the sticks and straws so that it would absorb its impact. Then we used the tape to make it all stick together.

We had finally completed the task. Our egg was ready to be dropped. Kalim stood in front of the tarpaulin. When it dropped we quickly went to check if it had made it. We were all excited when we saw that our egg had survived. Our end result was really good and I hope next time it can be even better.

Instructions
1.Firstly Unpack the tent and check that all the necessary equipment is in the bag.ie.tent,fly,18 pegs,3 poles,inner tent, base and eyelit.

2. secondly you will need to take out the inner tent and the fly (the fly is wrapped up inside the tent) and then lay it out on the grass.

3.Then take out the 4 pegs that you are using and the poles that are unconnected . Next put any equipment you are not using aside by the bag

4. Grab four of the pegs from the bag. After that grab the hammer and hammer in the pegs into the eyelit, make sure the pegs are on a about a 45 degree angle(so they wont come out). When you are hammering insure that you pull the corners tightly and then hammer them in.
Then repeat this on every corner.

5. Connect the poles then see which two are longer . When you find the two long poles put it over the tent and clip it in on the eyelit. After the poles are over ,tie it to a little string on the apex of the tent.

6. You then put the fly(cover on the outside of the tent)on top of it and make sure you put the door in the right place. When that is finish you insert the last pole in to the front of the tent.

7.When you are finished inserting the pole you have to repeat the way you put it in before and remember to put it back the on a 45 degree angle.

8.Then your tent will be done and ready to sleep in!

Room 20's favourite food

In our class we have been learning about statistics. To see what we can do I have created a form to see what is every ones favourite colour. With the results from the test I have created a graph using an application on google docs.

My graph shows that most people in our class liked purple. I was surprised because i thought blue would be the most popular colour but only 20.7% of our class liked it!!

Explain ready word colony

A couple of weeks ago we were given a task to explain a word that was related to our topic which is about bugs. We had to use the computer and show it in any digital form we liked. My animation about the word colony is finally done. Hope you enjoy my movie!!

Life education

This term we went to the Life Education caravan. We learnt about how smoking can affect your body. Lyn (the lady that taught us in the caravan) also told us that cigarettes have 4000 chemicals and 200 can cause cancer. Some of the chemicals are white ant poison, nicotine, rocket fuel and floor cleaner.
But the most important thing we learnt was to do with making choices. Lyn showed us a video of what a girl did when she was given a smoke. Here is a movie made by,Rachael,Tamara and I.
