Festival of the arts

Today at Festival of the Arts Kaela, Neika and I were in the backfield so we could film me and Neika getting chased by kaela the clown. Next week we will be working on finishing our film and editing it as well.

Festival of the arts - Film making

We have decided that I will be the sausage and the schoolgirl, Kaela will be the clown and Neika will be the schoolgirl who gets eaten.
We painted the sausage and got some filming done today.
Kaela will also be dressed up as the clown today.

Next time we will, get some more filming done and try different editing tools.

Arts of science

Today I walked around to gather some stuff so I could make different kinds of colours from the rainbow. Mr stock had written down the colours from the rainbow to make out of things from nature.
So far I have made a brown from dirt with little grains of bark.

festival of the Arts -Update-

Today We got some footage done with the clown chasing neika or kaela. Another thing I got done was put some masking tape on the cardboard sausage and then all we will need to do is paint the sausage brown.

How to make make up

Arts of Science kete

Neika, kaela and I are going to make make up for our film.

We are going to make lipstick by using squished bugs and berries.

This is the makeup I am going to do on Kaela's face but I am gonna add some white face paint or foundation first to make her face white.

Endangered species- Chatham island black robin

Chatham island Black Robin are

Definition: The black robin or The Chatham Island Robin is an endangered bird species from the Chatham Island off the east coast or new Zealand


What was wiping them Out: By 1900, The introduction of rats and cats following human settlement had wiped out the birds from everywhere apart from little Mangere Islands.When we introduced predators to the two islands where it presently survives is still a threat 

All black robins have the same weaknesses and strengths, stemming from the fact they have similar DNA. This means that a single disease could kill them.

How to help the black robin would be if you were to travel to the Chatham islands or transporting anything like food or livestock there, be careful that you don't accidentally introduce pest animals, plants or diseases. These might threaten the black robin or other rare endangered flora and fauna in the unique environment.

FACT: All of today's black robins are descended from the last breeding female, Old Blue. She was one of the longest-lived robins known, reaching 14 years old.

The story about how the Chatham Island black robin became endangered but then saved.

the total world population of Black Robins in 1980, And only one of them was a female.

Cartilage

-Tough
-Smooth
-Strong
-On the ends of the bone that move across each
-Stops friction
-Acts as a shock absorber

Cartilage can be damaged by
- Heavy impact- injury
-wear- tear
-stress
-lack of movement
Damage results in the bones grinding as they rub up against each other.

What is the difference between Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid

Osteoarthritis is a joint that is inflammation.It is a form of arthritis that is a breakdown and a loss of the cartilage of more then one or more joints. The cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a ''Cushion''

Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a "cushion" between the bones of the joints. 

Osteoarthritis symptoms and signs include
-Swollen joints
-joint stiffness

Forces and Motion:Marble run

At the top of the marble run Kinetic Energy and Gravity is posed on the marble At the gate, Then as you Push the piece that is in front  of the marble. Once you have Pushed  the piece the marble will go down and on to the ''S'' obstacle but then that is when Motion comes in as it goes down the marble meets the swirly obstacle. Air resistance comes in to slow the marble down.....

Isaac Newton

Who is he?
English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton, most famous for his law of gravitation, was instrumental in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

What did he make?

how is this work related to forces?
The invention that Isaac Newton made was to do with Gravitation.

"G" Forces?
The g-force of an object is its accelerate relative to Free fall.

Why when do containers explode or implode?

Concorde vs cargo planes

Forces

What is Force?
Force is Power made from a physical action or Act of movement

What are the different types of forces?

Frictional Force
Tension Force
Normal Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force Electrical Force  magnetic Force  Which force does static electricity belong to?Electrical Force  Mass vs weight, What is the difference between Mass and Weight  Mass is measured in kilograms or pounds. A one-liter volume of water has a mass of one kilogram. Weight is measured in newtons, the standard unit for force. A one-kilogram mass placed on a bench presses down on the bench with almost ten newtons of force.

Fantastic forces

1. mental or moral strength or power.
2. Friction and mass is very important as well. Firstly, a force is just a fancy word for push or pull, example: a man pushing a box, pushing is the force. All a force ever does is change the motion or speed of the object it is applied to. Secondly, there are two main types of forces, at a distance and contact forces.

PLANES 

Planes are cool 

There are four forces acting on an airplane in flight. These are thrust, drag, lift and weight(gravity). 1. THRUST.

High Impacts

Force 

What is Force? strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.

In my words: Force is Power made from a physical action or Act of movement

Where does Force come in to my life?
Force is basically an everyday thing Because we move all the time.

Push

What is the definition of Push? Exert force on (someone or something) in order to move them away from oneself.

In my words: A Physical motion on moving something from away from you.

Where does Push come into my life?
Push would be the same as pull.

Pull 

What does pull mean? a force drawing someone or something in a particular direction.

In my words: Pull is a movement in your control 

Where does Pull come into my life?
Sometimes in my life I pull stuff like chairs.

Friction 

What is friction? The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.

In my words: Friction is a force that acts to stop the movement of two touching things.

Where does Friction come into my life?
Friction comes in a little bit wit my life.

Gravity 

Definition of Gravity? the force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass.

In my words: Gravity is a force that pulls objects down.

Where does Gravity come into my life?
Gravity is what keeps all of us alive and on the ground if we didn't have Gravity we would be floating around.

Air resistance

What is air resistance? Air resistance is the frictional force air exerts against a moving object. As an object moves, air resistance slows it down.

My words: Air resistance is the force that slows objects down as they are in the air like gravity.

Where does Air Resistance come into my life?
Air Resistance Doesn't really play a part in my life.

Potential energy

Definition Of Potential Energy: The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.

My Words: Potential energy is used in the item because the energy is ready yourself. 

Where does Potential Energy come into my life?

Potential Energy comes into my life not much but sometimes.

kinetic Energy

Definition: energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.

My words: Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion.

Where does Kinetic Energy come into my life?
Kinetic Energy doesn't really come into my life that much.

Balanced energy 

What does it mean: Balance forces are two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size.

In my Words: Balanced Energy is something something that is stable.

Where  does Balanced Energy come into my life?
Balanced energy comes in all of the time because there there is balanced force when I walk and run. 

Unbalanced energy 

What does it mean: Balanced and Unbalanced Forces. A force is a push or a pull. A force can give energy to an object causing the object to start moving, stop moving, or change its motion. Forces occur in pairs and can be either balanced or unbalanced.

In my words: Unbalanced Energy is an object that is not stable.

Where does Unbalanced energy  come into my life? 

Unbalanced Energy Doesn't quite come into my life its more balanced energy.

Accelerate 

What does it mean: 

In my words: Accelerate means picking up speed.

Where does Accelerate come into my life? 

Accelerate comes in when I run.

Motion

What does it mean: The action or process of moving or being moved.

In my words: Motion is another word for moving because if something is moving it would be in motion.

Where does Motion come into my life?

Motion would be the same as force.

Static Electricity

What is Static Electricity:

When a plastic ruler/ pen is rubbed on wool it will attract hair and small pieces of paper.

Electroscope:

Helicopters

History >dates Where who

Since around 400 BC, The Chinese had a flying top that was used as a children's toy. The flying top was made from bamboo and used the same method of spinning wings to fly up in the air.The first practical helicopters were built by Frenchman Louis Breguet in 1935 and by German Henrich Focke in 1936.

On September 14,1939, the VS-30o,the world's first pratical helicopter, took flight at Stratford,Connecticut. Designed by Igor Sikorsky and built by the vought-Sikorsky Aircraft Division of the United Aircraft Corporation. 

Once a helicopter leaves the ground, it is acted upon by four aerodynamic forces; thrust, drag, lift and weight. Understanding how these forces work and knowing how to control them with the use of power and flight controls are essential to flight. [Figure 2-1] They are defined as follows:

• Thrust—the forward force produced by the power plant/propeller or rotor. It opposes or overcomes the force of drag. As a general rule, it acts parallel to the longitudinal axis. However, this is not always the case, as explained later.
• Drag—a rearward, retarding force caused by disruption of airflow by the wing, rotor, fuselage, and other protruding objects. Drag opposes thrust and acts rearward parallel to the relative wind.
• Weight—the combined load of the aircraft itself, the crew, the fuel, and the cargo or baggage. Weight pulls the aircraft downward because of the force of gravity. It opposes lift and acts vertically downward through the aircraft’s center of gravity (CG).
• Lift—opposes the downward force of weight, is produced by the dynamic effect of the air acting on the airfoil, and acts perpendicular to the flightpath through the center of lift.

Thrust- The forward force produced by the power plan/propeller or rotor.It opposes or overcomes the force of drag. As general rule, It acts parallel to the longitudinal axis.


We have tried to make a paper helicopter and as we did we used a long leg and a short leg they both went Anti-Clockwise, They both took around two seconds up from two metres high.

How to make a plane

Aim: I want to find out how to make a good flying paper plane

Equipment: Paper

The way I made

1. I folded it in half and then unfolded the paper
2. Then i folded the top corners to the crease neatly 
3. once i done that i folded it again down  
4. and then do the following steps above and then it should look like that but then i fold the wings again 

The way my plane flew was successful and flew around 10 metres it curved slightly to the left and now I am going to see how far it would actually go.
