Digital World

For the past 4 weeks we have been constructing a Augmented reality sandbox. We have been making it for our passion project . In one of the photo is the digital group learning how to set up an augmented reality system.I am part of the team that is building the box . We have our admins working hard on having it working for later on today

I think we took to long on the planing and that is why we only finished one table om time.

I think every body gained some team working skills while working on this project.

Social Science Paragraph writing

Lately, Mr Landley has been teaching us about paragraph writing,

Matariki is a group of stars and is the Maori new year.  Matariki celebration only last for 3 days and it is at the end of May. Nowadays it is important for preserving crops and harvesting crops. Matariki is celebrated by gathering with whanau and reflect on the past.

What makes a home earthquake proof

Earthquake-proof Buildings. One way to to make a simple structure more resistant to these lateral forces is to tie the walls, floor, roof, and foundations into a rigid box that holds together when shaken by a quake.

What was successful? the height of it won it for us and the earthquake proof was also a little successful.

What do architecture do to make super talk buildings safe? They make a good foundation.

Social Science Natural Disasters Reflection

For Social Science, we have been told make a presentation on a Natural Disaster in the last 20years
How Natural Disaster is Mount Merapi Volcanic eruption in 2010. Today we started to draw diagrams of Mount Merapi and what happened and coursed it. Next lesson we will continue with our diagrams. Today we have finished our diagram and we have started how research and presentation. Today we have explained the volcanic eruption happened and how it was formed. Today we have done what happened culturally. We don’t need help with anything so far. I didn’t have my chrome book, so that slowed me down. I will bring my chrome book nest time.

Gladiator Games

In social studies we had to make an advertisement of the games in the Colosseum from back in the days, we had to use Roman numerals.

Science

Today in science we done this

The method which was used for conversation between themselves. They formed symbols to designate a letter and draw/paint them in a vertical way. In modern days we use letters as a way of interacting by writing letters horizontally across the page. This is how we use to interact with each other without technology having to draw symbols and write them the way the people back in the Eygiptian time did.

Curiosity topic

I wonder why fortnite is so popular:

 It is popular because it is free unlike Pubg, Fortnite is fun you can do solos,duos and squads. most people like doing squads because they can have communicate and have fun with there friends. And because of battle royal games are so popular now is because there fun and enjoyable. In battle royal you jump in to a map with up to 100 other players when you land you loot up and then go and fight. Also in battle royal there is a storm it makes you push to the middle so you can not hide the hole game in the same spot, you have to stay inside the circle. Battle royal games are getting really popular now they are trying to make more battle royal games. Who ever invented battle royal would be really rich by now. So that is why Fortnite is so popular.

I am learning about the technology in the olden days

Conclusion

Space exploration is a waste of time and money.

I reckon is is good to explore to find new planets that we might be able to live on and find other forms of life.
But the money can also be spent on saving this world first.

DNA Extraction from a Banana

DNA Extraction from a Banana

Aim: To find a Method then extract strands of DNA from a banana.

Equipment: 

• 1/2 peeled ripe banana (you can also use strawberries or other fruit)
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp liquid dishwashing soap
• resealable zip-top bag (quart size)

• very cold rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) placed in freezer ahead of time
• coffee filter
• narrow glass
• wooden stirrer

Method: 

1. Mush the banana in the resealable bag for about a minute until all the lumps are gone and it almost looks like pudding.
2. Fill a cup with the hot water and salt.
3. Pour the saltwater mix into the bag. Close the bag and very gently squeeze and move the saltwater and banana mush together. Do this for 30 to 45 seconds.
4. Add the dishwashing soap into the bag and gently mix the contents. Try to avoid making too much foam.
5. Place the coffee filter in a clear glass cup, securing the top of the filter around the lip of the cup.
6. Pour the mix into the filter and let it sit until all of the liquid drips down into the cup.
7. Remove and discard the used coffee filter.
8. Tilt the glass and slowly add cold alcohol down the side of the cup. You want the alcohol to form a layer on top of the banana mix, staying separated, so be careful not to pour it too fast. Make a layer of alcohol that is 2.5-5cm (1-2in) thick.
9. After the alcohol layer is set up, wait for eight minutes. You may see some bubbles and cloudy material moving around in the alcohol. This is the DNA pieces clumping together.
10. Use the wooden stirrer to start poking the cloudy stuff in the alcohol layer. Spin the stirrer it in place to start gathering the cloudy stuff. When you are done, take a closer look at the stuff on the stirrer. You are looking at DNA
