final sport science blog

What tests did we do? To test our power we did a standing vertical jump, to test muscular endurance we did a plank, for speed we did a timed 30 metre sprint, for flexability we tried to touch our toes, for agility we did a agility course, for strength we saw how long we could hang from a bar, for coordination we threw a ball at a wall with one hand and caught it with the other for seconds, for balance we saw how long we could stand on our toes on one foot, for cardiovascular endurance we did the beep test, and for reaction time we had someone else drop a ruler and we then saw how fast we could catch it.

What were you trying to improve? The things I was trying to improve the most were power and coordination. 

How did you improve those skills? To improve these I did squats for power, and catching with a partner for coordination.

Did you improve on any skills? I did improve on strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, coordination, reaction time, speed, power, and balance.

Why do you think you improved on those skills? I think that I improved on those skills beacuse I practiced them all during the practices so I could improve.

Which skills do you want to spend more time improving on and how are you going to improve? I would like to improve more on my power and I will do this by doing squats everyday to try and improve.

My LED sign

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about LED Signs. In the past few weeks, we have been trying to make LED signs. At first I thought that our class was going to be about make door signs, because when we chose our options, it said door signs. After, we watched a video about soldering, I find it difficult to solder because the project is really small. We also learnt about what resistors do, A resistor is a passive electrical component with the primary function to limit the flow of electric current. We needed to use resistors for the LED or they will be to hot and burn. When designing the sign, the first thing I thought of was my name. 

I thought it would look cool with my name on it. The next thing we did was, choose a colour of our choice there we different colours. Red, green, white and Multicoloured. I chose multicoloured, I was imagining my design in my mind and it looked really cool. We all got 3 leds and 3 resistors, We soldered our resistors to a piece of metal after, we soldered the LED in the tip of the resistors. After finishing the leds and the resistors, we got our acrylic box pieced. Removing the paper protection around it was one of the most difficult things we have done in this class. We got blisters on our fingers specially our thumbs. We used the glue gun to get the pieced together. The glue dried really fast so we also had to move fast. After finishing the gluing, we also glued the led inside the box. We put the sign above the hole on the box and now it is finished.

Please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback about my writing. 

Market day Kete

For the market day kete we had to make something that me can sell  and make money of.

I was the CEO for my group and I was in charge of doing all the paper work and managing the budget.

People that I worked with in my group were helpful and they all did there part in the business kete and were really happy with our finale product.

I thing my group were pretty successful and we made a good amount of tokens,but I think we could of done better on selling our product.

I think my group held the HHS value pretty good during the market day because we all took turns being the sales persons and swapping so other people in our group can go look around and you things if they want.

balance

 What is the human balance system?
its a complication of a liquid in your ear that tells your brain about your balance.

What are some techniques you can do to improve your balance? 

balancing on one leg with your eyes closed,balancing on one leg,stand up on one leg and looking side to side,standing up and sitting down.

Why do people feel dizzy after spinning around?

When you are spinning a liquid in your ear spins as well,and when you stop the liquid keeps spinning and that´s why you feel dizzy after spinning around.

Sports science

 Aim: What is the point of this class.

To mix sports and science together and get a result of how fit you are and doing different fitness activity to get the answer.

Method:What were the tests.

• Muscular endurance
• cardiovascular fitness
• body composition
• flexibility 
• coordination
• reaction time 
• balance  

Results:

My Led sign

 Aim:The aim of the led sign is to create my own design of what ever I want and then laser cut it and put the design on the piece of acrylic.

Research:The design I am going with is the PSG team logo and a dragon face.Its a soccer team that I support.I am using a blue acrylic and a colour changing light.My acrylics corners will be curved and the rest will stay the same.

Gymnastic

 For the pat 4 weeks we have been doing gymnastic in PE.We have been using 6 apparatus,bars,beam,parallel bars,mini tramp,floor/mat and trampoline.

One challenge for me was trying to climb a high rope because my hands were sweaty and I couldn't use my legs properly to climb up.

One achievement for me was almost landing a flip on the mini tramp and trying to climb the high ropes and not giving up.

I have included my assessment form as well.

COMPETENCIES

truMp = Managing Self I have a can do attitude Never O Always I have my PE Uniform Never O Always I give up trying Never O Always I disrupt others Never O Always Rating:

Mapping task

 This week in social study our task was to mark places where the 1975 land marching had happened.The task was really easy because we just had to mark the towns places they went too.The challenging part was finding the places,that was the only hard part.What I might do next time is try saving the task before closing the tab because I did it more than 2 times.

Sophie Pascoe

 this week in PE class we researched about Sophie Pascoe. We had to create a slide and write down facts about what see does and about her self.She competes in the Paralympic games because she accidentally got ran over in a rid on mower when she was a kid,by her father. 

over all I think I did a good job on this work and i really enjoyed doing this work.I hope we do more work like this sometime in the future.

leak proof bag experiment

 Aim-The aim of this experiment is to see how you can poke pencils throw the zip lock bag and it wouldn't break or leak water unless you take the pencils out

Method-You need a zip lock bag,pencils,and some water.first pore water in the zip lock bag about 3/4 of the way,then seal the bag and poke the pencils through the bag slowly.twist the pencil a bit when your poking it.

Result

Discussion-Why does the water not leak?Its because of what the plastic is made out of.The zip lock  back is made out of polymer chains.The polymer has many molecules inside of them.When the pencil goes through the bag,the molecules in the polymer chain surround the pencil and making the area around the pencil tight so now water can go through.

Conclusion-My experiment was successful and I really enjoyed doing this,maybe I could try to poke the pencils through only one end of the bag and not through both.

chemistry work

 This weeks chemistry work I had to define parts of waves,parts of the eye,types of energy.I had to write about each of these things and add pictures to it.

I really enjoyed doing this work and I felt the work wasn't hard or easy.

link to my work

 

 Today during lock down I completed my PE task.I got sent a email and a doc that had 12 badminton Technics and write down when they're and how u use them.I really enjoyed doing this task and it was fun and easy to complete

my Hannah Hoch work

Today in art I finished my table about Hannah Hoch I had to find facts about her and wright it down on the table, I also had t find pictures about her art.in my opinion I think that this work was fun because I got to learn about someone I didn't know and get to see her art works.

cooking/pita bread

 yesterday I had cooking,we made pita bread,we got to choose our own fillings.My group had smoked chicken,ham,onion sweet chilli and cheese. it was very yummy and was really good to eat.Next week were are cooking something that uses an stove top.

cooking

 on Wednesday I had cooking,well not exactly cooking,we had theory lessons.In theory lessons we have to wright about protein.our teachers gave us a table that we had to fill out that was about protein,once we had done that she shared us a slide about nutrients that we had to read.So today we are actually going to cook but we will be cooking healthy things not yummy snacks of other things.

discovery task

In health class we were set a ask that required us to research a topic.My topic was about infection.firstly we had to find out about infections and write the facts down.we had 6 big question about our topics.after when your done with the question we had to to choose what we will present in i chose to present it in a doc we also had a key concept any ways I chose to do it in a doc because it was easy for me to present it and I didn't need to wary about the layout.

My story board work

 Whats another word for apartheid?
another word for apartheid is segregation

why did the protestors need helmets

everyone wore a helmet because the police used special long batons

why do you think being could honorary whites upset the Maoris all black
the all black did travel to South Africa but the Maori all black players were called honorary whites with was really upsetting for them because it was racist and disrespectful for them.

Why was the Hamilton game cancelled.

The Hamilton game was cancelled when hundreds of anti-tour protestor occupied the field chanting,the whole world is watching. 

Do you think the protest was successful?
The anti-apartheid movement in South Africa was buoyed by events in New Zealand. ... In the short term, the pro-tour lobby came out on top: the tour went ahead, apartheid remained intact and provincial New Zealand secured the National Party a narrow victory in the November general election.

How do you think the New Zealand protests helped Nelson Mandela?
New Zealand protests helped end apartheid and made us think about how we treat in our country too.

Facts
For 56 days in July, August and September 1981, New Zealanders were divided against each other in the largest civil disturbance seen since the 1951 waterfront dispute.

More than 150,000 people took part in over 200 demonstrations in 28 centres, and 1500 were charged with offences stemming from these protests.

To some observers it might seem inconceivable that the cause of this unrest was the visit to New Zealand of the South African rugby team (the Springboks).

 Although not a major sport on a global scale, rugby had established itself not only as New Zealand’s number one sport but as a vital component in this country’s national identity.

In many ways the playing of rugby took a back seat in protest 1981.

rugby fallout from the tour.For some commentators, these events were a watershed in our view of ourselves.

The effect of heat

Meaning of contraction

Contraction is a process or result of making or becoming smaller or shorter.

meaning of Expansion

Expansion is a act of something becoming larger or more extensive.In one of our experiment we did a ball and hop test.A small ball is attached to a rod and a rod is also attached to a small hop.They fit perfectly if they are not heated.Once heated the ball expands and the ball doesn't fit but once you cool the ball down the ball fits perfectly.

conduction

conduction is when heat travels through something from on end to another.We did a experiment with a rod and some pins.we had to put Vaseline on top of the pins and then attached them on a metal rod.once the Bunsen burner heat touches the rod the first pin drops instantly and the other pins drops when the heat get to it from the rod.

convection

convection is is when heat travels through a liquid or a gas.Solids vibrate more. liquid and gases when they are heated become less dense and rise.Therefore hot liquids and gases will move up and when they cool they move down.

convection in gas

Convection transfers heat heat by movement of fluid,liquid or gas between areas with different temperature.We did a experiment using tea bags,We first had to cut the tea back open then take out the tea leaf and we use the paper part that was left.We lit them on fire and once the fire reached the end the paper flung up and started disappearing. 

My home economics design process

In my home economics my and my group have been working on a cooking recipe for our assessment.First we had to have a stake holder.Which was Mr Taylor.second of all we had to have a shopping list,and then our time management and costings.

Shopping list

We created a shopping list using countdown online website and add all price and costing to the recipe

We give the chocolate pikelets to our stakeholder and he said it tastes really good.

He said that the chocolate sauce and whipped cream tasted really good with the chocolate

pikelets.I think me and my partner did very well at planning and making the chocolate pikelets

for our stakeholder.

I like how we communicated with each other as we make the chocolate pikelets.
