Line graph

What does the graph show us?
How the population of NZ changed over the years.

Why do you think the numbers of Māori change? Because they breeded with pakeha.


Why do you think numbers of Europeans changed? Because more came from foreign countries.

Cave art post.

They made the art using clay, berries, blood and stone powder.

They did it to decorate and document their hunting expeditions.
Cave art is mostly found in European countries.
My art didn'tzzzzzz tell a story it was just a cave man.

While working on this we have been looking at tech and change and how much time has been used on-screen time.

I recoreded which devices were used more often. to see what students preferred to go on in there spare time

Electrochemical Cell / Voltaic cell.

Aim: To create an electrochemical cell.

Equipment:  Copper metal, Copper nitrate ion, Zinc metal, Zinc nitrate ion, Salt bridge, Potassium nitrate. Two 250ml beakers, and a 100ml beaker, a voltmeter, paper and sellotape. Metal scrub.

Method: 

1. Fill one 250ml beaker with copper nitrate. Fill the other 250ml beaker with zinc nitrate.
2. Fill the 100ml beaker with potassium nitrate.
3. Fold a tissue until it is a long strip, sellotape it to keep it like that.
4. Scrub the metals clean.
5. Attach one of the voltmeter wires to the Copper metal.
6. Attach one of the voltmeter wires to the Zinc metal.
7. Place the Copper metal into the beaker with the Copper nitrate ion inside it.
8. Place the Zinc metal into the beaker with the Zinc nitrate ion inside it.
9. Pour Potassium nitrate onto the strip of paper.
10. Place the strip of paper into from one beaker to the other.
11. Record results.

Results: Making my electrochemical cell went quite well. My group did not run into any problems.
We created 0.895 volts. However, the theoretical amount of volts from an electrochemical cell is 1.10.

Discussion: An electochemical cell is capable of either generating electrical energy from chemical reactions or using electrical energy to cause chemical reactions. The kind of electrochemical cell that can be recharged is an electrolytic cell. An electrolytic cell also consists of two beakers filled with electrolytes into which electrodes are dipped. 

Seeing others as human beings

Seeing others as human beings

Should all of the people on earth be treated the same, Is it fair to treat them differently because
of who they are, Where they come from and who they are associated with? In Children of Blood
and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. A memorable idea is “Seeing others as human beings”. This idea
is shown when, Kaea asks Inan How long he had been a magi, Inan sees a burner for the first
time and when Zelie meets Inans amber gaze at The Holy Temple.  

In the novel there is a scene between Inan and admiral kaea. Where kaea confronts Inan about
being a magi. She says “How long?” she breathes. “How long have you been a maji?”  She
judges Inan although she knows who he is as a person, just because he’s got a different title.
She was taught to hate the type of person Inan is becoming. Although she knew him since he
was a small child. This to me relates to how in the real world, Someone might stop believing in
something like God. Then there family and friends might look down upon them for being
different. I think even people in real life to this day are too quick to judge people based on
names and titles. When Inan sees the burner for the first time, he is quick to judge kwame.
He judges Kwame because he is different from Inan and has power that strikes fear into
Inan. Inan doesn't know what to think about this new person, So straight away Inan assumes
that Kwame is bad. This is similar to in the real world how multiple cultures don't accept one
another. They choose to fight against one another and not with each other. I don't think this is
okay, Just because people have different skin colours, religions etc. This doesn't mean we
can't get along and I think we should work harder to live in peace.

In Children of blood and bone there is a really good scene between Inan and Zelie. “Inan’s
amber eyes trap me in the truth of his betrayal, but it isn’t the gaze I know. He’s a stranger. A
soldier. The shell of the little prince.” Zelie thinks this without taking in any of the reasons why
Inan was doing what he was doing. Inan had an upbringing where he hated magi and looked
up to his father. Inan was only trying to impress his father, I feel this is understandable in most
cases. This reminds me of the saying, “The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.” I think trying to
be like a loved one shouldnt be frowned upon and should be looked at as quite a beautiful thing.

I believe we are all the same. We might be different in our skin colour, religion, culture,
sexuality. But were all people, People who shouldn't live in constant fear of other people.
Were allowed to have our own opinions and beliefs.

English Another World Diversity
