The Toucan

Today in class I researched a bit about the toucan and today I will be sharing it with you. I hope you like it and learn a bit about the toucan.

Global Warming!!!

 This week we read a article about Global Warming. It taught us what global warming is and what is happening to the planet from it. I think that we need to try our best to save the world because it sounds very bad and if we don't act soon, the world will have some massive issues. Do you think global warming is a bad thing? You can tell me your opinion in the comments. The heat is getting trapped by the carbon dioxide, not letting it travel into space and  disappear. This is good for letting plants and animals flourish at the right temperature. Although, as we burn more fossil fuels, more carbon dioxide goes into the air, trapping more heat. That means the land and sea heats up. Messing up the balance of nature and changing the world’s climate.

Insects-future food

This week in class we read a story for reading about bugs and how they are nutritious and it might be a future food. It turns out if you got one kilo of bugs and one kilo of cow or sheep or another meat you eat quite often, there will be more meat in the bug bucket than the other meat bucket. They also take up much less room then stock animals so it will also be better for the enviroment because it will be a reason they have to stop cutting down trees and save the wildlife animals and nature. I hope you like this blog post and you can give me your opinion if you would eat bugs.

How eyes work!

 Today I will be explaining how your eye works. Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, the clear front "window" of the eye. The cornea's refractive power bends the light rays in such a way that they pass freely through the pupil the opening in the center of the iris through which light enters the eye. 

The iris works like a shutter in a camera. It has the ability to enlarge and shrink, depending on how much light is entering the eye. After passing through the iris, the light rays pass through the eye’s natural crystalline lens. This clear, flexible structure works like the lens in a camera, shortening and lengthening its width in order to focus light rays properly.   

                                                                                 

New Zealand in the 1970's!!!

 For the past week in class we have made afew slides about life in the 1970's in New Zealand. I worked in a group with Olivia and Jordan so you can go see there blog once you have finished looking at mine. It was a very fun thing to work on and it taught me a bit about the 1970's in New Zealand beacause I didn't know much about it.

My Weather Device!

 Today in class we made our own weather device. What we had to do was choose between rain, wind, lightning or thunder. I chose thunder and lightning since they usually happen at the same time so it could all be just one big machine that when they see one or another letting there drums play or letting there lightning bolts they have stored up the other one joins in with them.

Our fun adventures on scratch!

Today we got challenged to make a scratch comic, using coding. What we had to do was pick a
superhero and make a story about it doing certain things. Our superhero was a guide dog for blind
people. We had to make the guide dog do certain things. Some of the things were a starter project in
which we got the dog to guide a lady across a road. The next activity was show off with a super spin.
What you had to do for that one was the dog had to do a spin in the road. The next one was it had to fly
over buildings, but our dog couldn’t fly over buildings so we just made it cross a road again because it
was a guide dog and doesn’t fly over buildings. Nextly was you had to add background music.Then you
had to support your hero. By doing that you would just add in another character. There was also
keeping the score by creating a game by programming your hero to collect objects. The last one
is draw your own hero, and what you had to do was use the paint editor in scratch and make your
own hero. Scratch was a really fun activity and maybe one day you could try it for yourself.
