Tornadoes

Tornadoes

What happens for this event?

Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air, extending from a thunderstorm, which are in contact with the ground. If things are in the way they will get picked up and thrown somewhere else.

What causes it to happen?

Tornadoes develop from severe thunderstorms in warm, moist, unstable air along and ahead of cold fronts. Such thunderstorms also may generate large hail and damaging winds. When intense springtime storm systems produce large, persistent areas that support tornado development, major outbreaks can occur.

Why is climate change the cause?

It is likely that a warmer, more humid world allows for more frequent instability, while it is also possible that a warmer world decreases wind shear.

 

Human Werewolf Syndrome

Human Werewolf Syndrome

What causes the syndrome? Reactivation of genes that cause hair growth.

Is there a cure? There is no cure for this syndrome, and you can’t do anything to prevent this disease

Does the hair keep on growing?  Abnormal hair growth begins at birth and continues throughout a person’s life. Hair, usually long and thick, covers the person’s face and body.

Interesting fact about it? It is a disorder that is characterized by excessive body hair. This is a long term thing

Winds racers

Hey guys on Monday we started building our wind racers and on Wednesday to raced them.

Aim: We were trying to create a wind racer that moves

Equipment: plastic, hot glue, hot glue gun, tape and trolley

Method: 

  1. Why we used a plastic, because it grabs wind easier and faster
  2. When you have the leaf blower, you start with pointing it at the ground then as the trolley blows away you lift the leaf blower higher.

Discussion:

  • What are the forces acting on your wind racer? The wind racers was using Push, pull 
  • Are they balanced/ unbalanced?  Unbalanced as the trolley takes of and us it is further away they become balanced 
  • What is net force and how does this relate to the forces acting on your wind racer? up force for support, Down force for gravity, forward force is push and backward force is pull 
  • What are the strength of forces acting on it at different stages? up and down forces stay the same. The push and pull will be different at different times of the race. Push is the strongest at the start and pull will be strongest at the end to start slowing it down
  • How do the forces acting on the wind racer affect the motion of the wind racer at different points? Push is best used at the start because the leaf blower is closer to the sail, pull best at the end because it is slowing it down.
  • Why do you think results may vary in the class? People had different designs for there sails and they were bigger or smaller.  

Conclusion:

  • How was your wind racer successful/unsuccessful and why? Our wind racer didn’t fall over and went a descent length, so I’d say it was successful 
  • How could you improve it? The sail it the top we could tape it down.

Boat experiment

Hello

In science we are learning about buoyancy/pressure, So we had to test two boat one with lots of floor space and one with a little amount of floor space.

This is the video for the large floor boat

We forgot to small boat because we were having to much fun with it.

What is pressure? P = F ÷ A, the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.

How does it change with area? Inversely proportional to area.

New Zealand freedom fighter

Hey guys

I have been learning about the 1981 springbok tour

I made a profile of John Minto

This is the map of the springbok tour

This is the profile of Robert Muldoon, he lead New Zealand through the Springbok tour, and also went to the Royal wedding.
