Kyrie Irving - My Hero - Tanisslous

I presented this presented this presentation to my class, It was fun I felt confident when I was speaking I tried speaking louder. I spoke clear but spoke fast (dang it). I want to this more often but it's every term.  I mainly love speaks but presentation is pretty much the same.  The presentation is about my hero Kyrie Irving . The purpose of my investigation is to inform you about my hero, how he inspires me and why I like him. I hope I inform you enough. Please leave a comment!! I'll try and reply.

Science Fair

Today, TPS celebrated our topic of ‘Discoveries’ with a Science Fair. All 10 classes Shared their discoveries that they had made from throughout the term. Two things I found really interesting to find out at the science fair were if you rub a balloon on your hair then put it on top of little pieces of paper the paper with automatically stick to the balloon for a short time. The second thing was knowing that the first chemist was a woman!!

How a hydro-dam creates electricity

WALT write an explanation of how a Hydro-power station works




A hydro-dam is an amazing structure that makes electricity from water!

Firstly you build a dam to block the river. Water then builds up behind the dam. This is called the reservoir.

Water then goes through the intake, and rushes down the penstock. The water hits the turbine and spins it very fast.

This makes electricity which is stored in the generator. The electricity then travels through the power lines to houses and cities.

After the water has gone through the turbine, it rejoins the river.

You can make power in all sorts of ways but this is hydro power.
Power is very important, please save power . A hydro-dam is also called a hydro-station.
   

How does wind make energy?

WAL about different power sources (where we get power from), and whether they are renewable or non-renewable:

Renewable (will not run out) energy source:
solar (sun)
wind
water
plants/animals (biomass)
geothermal

Non-renewable (will run out) energy source:
oil (petroleum)
coal
natural gas


This is how wind is used to generate (make) power:
 

The process behind wind energy is pretty simple. It starts, of course, with the wind, which is actually a form of solar energy. Wind is caused by the sun’s heating of the atmosphere, the irregularities of the earth's surface and its rotation.

The wind turbine captures that energy through propeller-like blades attached to a rotor, usually atop towers to access faster, less turbulent wind. Turbines can operate at variable or fixed speeds. Most new projects use variable speed as it more efficiently converts wind to electricity.

What would we do without energy?

Garden Day Reflection

This document is a reflection on the purpose, process and outcomes of our Garden Day Activities.

NAME: Tanisslous

ACTIVITY:
Timo timo

MATERIALS:

• Mussel shells
• Wood
• Knife
• String
• Saw

PURPOSE:

• To help us dig in our garden.

• So we can learn from it.
• So it could help us with our garden.

PROCESS:

• the teacher explained what we were going to do.

• We took 3 strings and plait them. It was hard to plait the 3 string but i got help.

• We took a V shaped branch and  shaped the branch. We scraped it until it was smooth, thats how we made the Timo timo.

WHAT WORKED WELL:

• Helping the Ko group
• Getting the  Timo timo  and Ko smooth.

WHAT DIDN’T WORK WELL:

• The handle of the Timo timo

WHAT THINGS DID YOU LEARN ?

• How to make a Timo timo  and Ko.

How to grow plants

1.The scientific study of plant life is known as what? Botany

2. The process of plants using energy from sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into food is known as what? Photosynthesis

3. True or false? In the right conditions bamboo can grow over 60cm (24in) in just one day. True

4.The movement of pollen from the anthers to the stigma of a flower is known as what? Pollination

5. Amber is made from fossilized tree resin.

6. True or false? Humans were on Earth before plants. False

7. What grain has the highest level of worldwide production? (Hint: Rice is second) Maize

8. A trailing or climbing plant is also known as a vine.

9. True or false? Pitcher plants are carnivorous. True

10. The Japanese word “sakura” means the blossoming of what kind of tree? Cherry tree.

Photosynthesis

WAL : about how plants grow and what they need to grow



My explanation of how Photosynthesis works:

Photosynthesis works by changing CARBON DIOXIDE  and WATER into sugars that make the plant grow. SUNLIGHT is needed to help this process.
