Genomics * Explaning *

Walt: To something to present what DNA is. 

Task Description:
This week for genomics we got to look more at DNA and all. We focused mostly on DNA and the chemicals that form DNA. One task we had to do was understand a video we were given then show our learning which is what I did here! 

K-pop!

This week for our Inquiry we got the opportunity to learn and understand k-pop. Mrs Stone taught room 5 how to learn k-pop and what trainees do before becoming a professional k-pop star.

Mrs Stone presented us a video of the trainees and what they go through. As a trainee they starve, they have to be a specific weight, and they can’t eat too much or too less.

Once we understood the k-pop industry we got to learn a k-pop dance ourselves. In a group of five we learned ddu-du-du-du by Blackpink. The practice part of the dance was extremely fun because we went through so much decisions. Once we learned a k-pop dance we got to perform to a bunch of girls.

One highlight from k-pop class was learning to dance a different way in front of girls.

Plant Cells!

Walt: To create a poster about plant cells.

Task Description:
This week we focused on plant cells and what are inside them. Once we understood about plant cells we collected all information we knew onto a doc to remember them notes for later. Once we collected all notes we created a poster having three facts each about these plants cells. And here is our poster! Hopefully you enjoy and understand plant cells.

Nerve Cells!

Walt: To understand what nerve cells are.

Task Description:
This week we focused on nerve cells for genomic. Our task this week was to watch a couple of videos based on nerve cells. Once we understood what nerve cells were we got to opportunity to buddy up with someone ( Calais. ) and work on creating a poster to inform others what nerve cells are. Here i'm sharing with yous all a hopefully informative poster based on nerve cells I created with my buddy Calais. Learning about nerve cells and how they are all connected was really simple. Do you understand?

Fragile Web Of Life!

The Fragile Web Of Life!

Food Chain:

Bees are created to produce and help nature create beautiful flowers, fresh fruits, and to keep species alive. Bees take pollen flower to flower to reproduce plants, fruits, vegetable, and many fresh nutrients. By bees keeping flowers and plants alive herbivores animals can feed on  these plants. And then you may wonder what do carnivores eat? Well they feed on herbivores! But without bees species won't be able to live because there won't be any food left. Basically bees are the most precious species ever alive, without them we won't have fresh nutrients. Closer Look:

The low & high in food chain: ( Facts that I know! ) 

Tigers reproduce about 2 or 3 times in two years, since they have the ability to run fast, and are extremely strong they are at the top of the food chain list. This reason is because they are strong and are able to live on their own especially when predictors come their way. As for turtles, they reproduce about 100 eggs, so they are at the bottom of the food chain. Because they have more of a chance to get eaten as they aren't as they don't have as much strength and fastness as a tiger species. 

How life starts: ( Facts I understand. )  

Life first emerged inside the pacific oceans, nearly three and a half billion years ago! Crazy right! They all start from tiny microbes that are invisible to the eye, then they grow into enormous giants in the ocean! Everything starts off small, from water to air then light, and even energy that makes life possible! Over a million of years ago and as time goes pass the environment and atmosphere change which helps those species grow.  

 

Animation Re Search!

Walt: To create a presentation that will help us with our animations.

Task Description:
Here i'm sharing with you all room 5 inquiry. These slides consist of facts about our continent we have chosen as well as the country we have chosen to do our animation about. This task was to help us with our animation, so this is like a plan before we start our animation.

Investigation!

Walt: To do a investigation on Libya.

Task Description:
This week we got assigned to find a country starting with the first letter of our name and do a investigation about that country. This country I choose here is Libya.

Our task was to answer a bunch of questions, I only got through three questions. The first question was " How was your country created? " This question was quite hard because in articles about Libya I couldn't find much facts about how Libya was mostly created. But I tired to find as much facts as I could to provided enough facts to answer my question.

Our second question that we were given was " Who is the biggest celebrity in that country? What do they do? " Now this question wasn't as hard as I thought. But the most hardest thing about this question was to find out who was actually the most famous person in Libya. Most people I found were from year ago but I came across this guy.

Our last question we had to answer was " Has your country ever been in war? How did it go? " The question wasn't hard either, but the fact that it was quite hard to find out if they did good our not was hard to find. So I just tired my best to find out any facts about a war in Libya.

I really enjoyed this task because I got to learn about a new country , and I also learnt new facts about Libya. Enjoy! 

Finding a career!

Walt: To find helpful information to become a career of our choose.

Task Description:

Malaga Pasifika

Walt: To complete Malaga Pasifika.

Task Description:
Team five has been focusing on Ko Wai Au? Our task was to learn where we come from and our future. Here we all started learning about our journey and places we came from. Secondly, we learnt about three different times. Past , present , and future. 

As for past we watched a video where it explained what pasifika people did in the past to give us a good education. Past we had to learn where our name came from and what our family did to give us a good life.

For present we learnt more about our culture and where we come from. We learnt about what strengths and gifts of pacific people. We also got to create a shield where we listed our skills , qualities , values , and interest on a piece of paper. We also drew our dreams and aspirations as well as our top two jobs , the amount of pay we get , and useful subjects to get our future jobs we went.

Specking out the future we moved onto the future. For the future we started to talk about our future jobs , dreams , and aspirations. Our job was to use on interest we have a find useful jobs towards that one interest. I choose Kapa Haka since I am always interested in Kapa Haka. For future we also looked at what we want in the future and challenges we would face in the future that might stop us for success in our future jobs we do want. 

We also got to choose people who we wanted to be in our life's to help us during our future. I choose people who I thought are kidn and are always by my side.
