Variables

In Te Ngahere we’ve been doing a science experiment. The experiment was to create
a ramp for the marble, but Whaea Becks and Whaea Chrissy gave us a challenge. The
challenge was to get the marble to stop accurately at 110 cm ( 1.1 m ) from the end of
the ramp. We were allowed to work in a group of three or two for this experiment,
and my buddy was Mihi. I learned more about variable during this science
experiment.Variables are when you can change something in a science experiment to
make the result better, and you should change one variable at the time, so you know
what you change and what effects it. I enjoyed working with my buddy and
changing the variable to make the result better. I hope I can do some more interesting
science experiment in the future.

Explorer

In Te Ngahere we have been working on an activity about 4 explorers for this week.
The people we are researching about are Nukutawhiti, Kupe, James Cook and Abel
Tasman. My group and I chose Nukutawhiti to research and create something to
show what we have learnt. We found out a lot of things about how Nukutawhiti
made an impact on New Zealand. I think I did well  finding out about important
information about him. I enjoy doing this activity because I can learn about the
history of where I live and someone who made a big impact on this country.
I hope I can find out more about the people (Kupe, Nukutawhiti, James and Abel)
who have left a footprint/impact on New Zealand.
