Aim:
In this experiment we were timing how ____ it took egg __________ of different designs to hit the ground. This was investigating the physics concepts of air __________ and m___.
Research:
Method:
Results:
Discussion:
Conclusion:

AIM: To make a fast wind racer
Equipment:
Method:
By far we got the fastest score 9.2 meters in a span of 10.94 seconds
Discussion:
What are some forces acting on the wind racer?
In a wind racer propelled by sails, forces include lift (opposite to wind flow), drag (opposite to motion), and propulsive force (driving forward). Lift supports propulsion by redirecting wind energy, while drag opposes motion, influenced by wind speed. Gravity affects stability and centripetal force during turns maintains curved paths. Design and sail configuration optimize these forces. Variations in wind strength and racer handling impact performance, requiring skillful adjustments for efficiency and speed.
Are the forces balanced or unbalanced?
The wind racer would be unbalanced, a wind blower blows wind consistently but human error would constantly change our way of direction because our hand would move and the wind racer would also be pushing further away from the wind blower causing it to get slower so we either had to move but again, human error would make it vary depending on if we move closer to it or not so it would be less consistent making it unbalanced.
Define net force
Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It tells you how much and in what direction the object will move. To find the net force, you add up all the forces acting on the object, considering their directions. If forces are pushing or pulling in different directions, you have to subtract the opposing forces. The net force can make an object start moving, stop moving, or change how fast it is going.
Conclusion:
How was your wind racer successful/unsuccessful?
It was very successful because we got the fastest time and was the most furthest out of all the other teams. Our team name BBC (Big Black Cone) Was unique because it had a cone tipped head at the end of the base making it more aerodynamic making it faster because of less drag force. We also made our sail like a bowl shape so it could pick up the most amount of air which worked.
If I could change anything about our wind racer it would be to make the bamboo stick more stable, we realised that the wind blower was insanely powerful toppling over our first attempt because we were too close. The second attempt was even better because we decided to move a couple steps backwards and it worked like a charm :>.
How was my score different to others?
I think it was different because of our design, Our design was different to others 1. Because we added a tip to our base making it more aerodynamic. 2. Our sail was tied at the bottom so the air could stay within the sail therefore pushing it further. Another reason is also because we used a good distance away from the wind racer with the leaf blower, other people either were too close and made the wind racer topple over or it was too far and didn’t catch the wind too fast.

In recent years, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests have emerged as a powerful movement advocating against racial injustice and police brutality in the United States. Triggered by tragic incidents like the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and George Floyd, these protests have resonated deeply across diverse communities. People of all backgrounds united in peaceful marches and rallies, carrying poignant signs bearing messages like “Black Lives Matter” and demanding justice with chants of “No Justice, No Peace.” While many demonstrations were peaceful, some were marred by sporadic incidents of looting and clashes with law enforcement, underscoring the urgency and intensity of the call for change.
The consequences of these protests have been profound and widespread. They sparked crucial conversations nationwide about race, equity, and the role of law enforcement. Governments at various levels began reevaluating policing practices, contemplating reforms aimed at ensuring accountability and enhancing community safety. Moreover, the movement prompted individuals and businesses to confront systemic racism head-on, fostering a broader commitment to promoting equality and inclusion. Through the leadership of figures like Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter, the movement has galvanized millions, inspiring ongoing efforts to dismantle systemic racism and foster a more just society for all.
It is still an ongoing problem with our society that we all think we aren’t equal. Every lives matter and that is the end of that. Thank you for looking at this blog and have a wonderful day!
Football reflection – Term 2
This term in PE we have been learning about Football. The following words are used in football. What do they mean? Write their defenitions.
Football is played with 11 players on each team on the field at one time. The field is 50-100 yards wide and 100-130 yards long. The equipment needed is
The 5 most important rules of football
One thing I improved in was nothing tbh.
One thing I enjoyed was scoring on the other team.
I need to keep working on my dribbling but the other team didn’t really dribble well anyways
I enjoyed playing on the same team as benaiah because he is a giraffe and Jacob because he’s insane at hitting the ball with his head
I always brought my PE gear to school
Out of 10 I would give myself a 7 for trying because it really didn’t need much skill to score.
Today we will be talking about alleles
Offspring inherit one allele from each parent. Let’s simplify it further with an example:
Parent 1: Aa Parent 2: Bb
The offspring could inherit any combination of alleles:
Each offspring gets one allele from each parent, resulting in different combinations of alleles. This process creates genetic diversity in populations. Such as the african-americans or the normal race
It was okay, we had to make something corresponding about the hauora we did. Personally It was decent because one of my classmates I wont name them, CAMERON, they smashed my creation for no reason and I didn’t win T-T
Hello, today we will be learning about martin luther king the leader of american civil rights
Joining Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights movement meant peacefully protesting unfair treatment of African Americans. You’d march, fight for laws for equality, and challenge segregation and discrimination. Together, you’d make history with events like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington. King’s belief in nonviolence and his dream of equality would inspire your efforts to create a better world for everyone.
Ghandis profile

Martin Luther King Jr
Martin Luther King Jr was a prominent civil rights leader in American history. He was a freedom fighter because he tirelessly advocated for racial equality and justice. For example, he led the March on Washington in 1963, where he delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, calling for an end to racial segregation and discrimination. In summary, he was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to fighting for a society where all individuals are treated equally regardless of their race or background.

Hello, today we will be talking about DNA extraction.

Hello, today I will be talking about how the brain works. And I will be telling you what my personality type is.
Firstly, my personality type. My personality type is called “Mediator” Mediators are open minded, tolerant and accepting people. They dont like to judge peoples beliefs and decisions, this type of personality prefers compassion instead of fault-finding. Mediators still feel empathy to the people who have done wrong.
Now psychopaths. Psychopaths don’t use some of their brain so it isn’t heated up meaning its cold .
