S.T.E.A.M

Hey Bloggers,

On Wednesdays we go to tech and in the afternoon we done S.T.E.A.M which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths. We had to make something and put an egg in it then we dropped it off Sky High in the maker space and see which one didn't crack. There was:

3 sheets of A4 photocopy paper

A plastic bag

1
m of string

1 sheet of A5 thin card

Sellotape

Scissors

Paper to sketch design on.

Once we had sketched our design we had to go show the teachers and they would then give us an egg. This was our design.

Me and my group wrapped the egg in all the paper and secured it with sellotape and then wrapped the string around it just for extra security. After that we put it in the bag trying to get as  much air in it as possible so it would create an air bag type of thing, but sadly ours cracked. Here's how the final result. 

Comparison and Differences between the Kiwi and Moa bird

 Kia Ora,

In literacy this week we have been looking at adaptation and what it is. An adaptation is a process in which an organism becomes best fitted to living in it’s specific habitat. These are changes that can be identified in 3 different categories; Structural, Physiological and Behavioural. We had to read 2 articles on 2 birds out of 4, I chose the Kiwi and the Moa but the other options were the Takahē, Kākāpō, Kiwi and Moa. After reading the articles we had to do a venn digram on the differences and comparisons of the 2 birds. This is how mine looks:

Do you know what adaptation is? Thanks for reading
