Acid or Alkaline?
Litmus is a tree lichen fungi and is made into small paper strips or a liquid for testing acids or alkalines.
Blue Litmus paper determines if something is acidic. It turns red in solutions with a pH of less than 7.
Red Litmus paper determines if something is alkaline. It turns blue in solutions with a pH greater than 7.
Materials:

Story of parihaka
Opinion: My opinion about the parihaka stories is that the pakeha should not have stolen the Maori's land. they should of went to a place without anybody on it and taken that land to stop what they caused. If they did go to a different place we wouldn't be in New Zealand and instead, we would be in London or America.
Main Ideas: The idea of the parihaka story is that it is telling us to not do what happened in the past. If we do that New Zealand will have a lot of racism which isn't good. And if we had a war we wouldn't be a peaceful country
Questions: I want to know why the pakeha couldn't go to a different country? And why didn't the Maori just find a different spot to avoid all the drama? I wonder why the author made this story so short instead of a proper book?

lockdown day 2
Day one was okay but I'm starting to get bored on day two. That's why I have been playing brawlhalla and minecraft more. I'm also going for a walk today, maybe even a bike ride, only around the block though. I wish that we were not in lockdown so my birthday party would be this week. But i guess I can't change the fact that we are locked in our houses. And if i could i would go to the park and play volleyball. When i go back to my pc im going to build something in creative the end.
that was 100 words just like my last one

Covid 19 100 word story
New Zealand has been put into lockdown for three days. If you don't know what lockdown is then search it on google. During lockdown you have to isolate yourself from the world. There are some exceptions such as family members that you live with, shopping for food and doctors/hospitals. But make sure to wear a mask if you dont you could spread the virus that put us into lockdown in the first place. And if you have the covid tracer app use it as much as possible. Otherwise like I said it will spread, that's how we got it.
not including these words that im write here that was 100 words. and remember stay safe and if you are sick stay home

Fiji wins gold
hi today we did work about Fiji winning the Olympics for sevens rugby here is my work
Olympic Gold was won by the Fiji Rugby Sevens team in Tokyo last evening (NZ time).
The game was against Fiji who ended up winning Gold Medals.
Fiji’s captain is legend Jerry Tuwai. He said this win was very special because they had to go into quarinteen after Easter. They have not seen their familly since. They spent most of that time shut up in a hostel in hotel in suva, training in a gym they built in a garage
When they were on their way to Japan the Fijian tam got stuck on a cargo plane Along with some crates full of frozen fish
These experiences helped them form a very tight group of people which makes for a great experience
Here are some images of the winners.

pocket rockets
during science, we have made pocket rockets
they are basically mini rockets that you could make at home. It is really cheap and easy to make. Here how it works
you get a small cylinder with a bottom you take off the top put baking soda in the bottom and then pour vinegar and quickly put the cap on and flip it then it should go flying.

daylight savings
Daylight savings it's a strange thing what is it? Well you might think it's so we can stay up longer but no it's so we don't waste as much energy with lights being on and you don't have to work in the dark.
If you are struggling to sleep then go to sleep earlier. Daylight savings is also good because the sun stays up longer so you don't have to rush your washing.
But remember to change your clock an hour slower. Daylight savings starts on sunday 27 september and ends sunday 4 april next year. In australia daylight savings is in all states but queensland northern territory and wester australia. Daylight savings started in NZ in 1927. Here is some tips on how to adjust to daylight savings
Go to bed earlier
Put your clock back an hour
Get some exercise if your not tired
I think that daylight savings should continue because it helps you stay fit and you can do your washing more often.

Words in Maori
Here are some words in Maori
Friday, 28 August 2020
confusing
have you ever wondered why all together is spelt separate but separate is spelled together, take a moment to ponder why they are spelt like that its, weird and unusual isn't. people also say your not perfect but your perfect at not being perfect, okay now i'm just confusing my self. have you notice that zoo's are paying you to look at stolen property because nobody owns those animals. did you notice that the centre of gravity is v and v is pointing down. your a murderer did you know that you've murder trillions of bacteria in the shower. go lay in an open field and that technically make the world your backpack.

gravity on mars
Gravity
Read, then answer:
Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun.
What keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun? The force of gravity
What else does gravity do?
Why do you land on the ground when you jump up instead of floating off into space? Why do things fall down when you throw them or drop them? The an\wer is gravity: an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall.
Define gravity in one sentence? An invisible force that pulls objects together
An animation of gravity at work. Albert Einstein described gravity as a curve in space that wraps around an object—such as a star or a planet. If another object is nearby, it is pulled into the curve. Image credit: NASA
Anything that has mass also has gravity. Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is.
What makes gravity weaker? distance
Earth's gravity comes from all its mass. All its mass makes a combined gravitational pull on all the mass in your body. That's what gives you weight. And if you were on a planet with less mass than Earth, you would weigh less than you do here.
What does Earth’s gravity come from? mass
Look at the image below and write how much you’d weigh on the following planets if you weighed 100lbs on Earth.
Jupiter 253 lbs Mars 38 lbs Venus 91 lbs
Saturn 107 lbs Neptune 114 lbs
How much would you weigh on the moon? 17 lbs
Image credit: NASA
You exert the same gravitational force on Earth that it does on you. But because Earth is so much more massive than you, your force doesn’t really have an effect on our planet.
7. Why doesn’t your force really have much effect on Earth? Earth is much more massive than humans
Gravity in our universe
Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the seas towards it, causing the ocean tides. Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling together the material from which they are made.
8. What causes ocean tides? Gravitational pull of the moon pulling the seas towards it.
9. How does gravity create stars and planets? Pushing material together
Gravity not only pulls on mass but also on light. Albert Einstein discovered this principle. If you shine a flashlight upwards, the light will grow imperceptibly redder as gravity pulls it. You can't see the change with your eyes, but scientists can measure it.
Black holes pack so much mass into such a small volume that their gravity is strong enough to keep anything, even light, from escaping.
10. Why is gravity in black holes so strong that it keeps anything (even light) from escaping? Because nothing can escape black holes
What is a black hole?
a dead star
Watch this video to find out more about these areas of immense gravity!
Gravity on Earth
Gravity is very important to us. We could not live on Earth without it. The sun's gravity keeps Earth in orbit around it, keeping us at a comfortable distance to enjoy the sun's light and warmth. It holds down our atmosphere and the air we need to breathe. Gravity is what holds our world together.
11. What is the role of the sun’s gravity? Keep it away from us
12. Can humans live without gravity? no
However, gravity isn’t the same everywhere on Earth. Gravity is slightly stronger over places with more mass underground than over places with less mass. NASA uses two spacecraft to measure these variations in Earth’s gravity. These spacecraft are part of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission.
13. Describe where Gravity in Earth is slightly stronger. The core
The GRACE mission helps scientists to create maps of gravity variations on Earth. Areas in blue have slightly weaker gravity and areas in red have slightly stronger gravity. Image credit: NASA/University of Texas Center for Space Research
GRACE detects tiny changes in gravity over time. These changes have revealed important details about our planet. For example, GRACE monitors changes in sea level and can detect changes in Earth’s crust brought on by earthquakes.
14. List 2 things that the GRACE mission can do for Earth.
i) detects tiny changes in gravity
ii) reveal important details about planets
15. Gravity on Mars
List 5 or more facts about GRAVITY ON MARS in the space below. You can copy and paste and add images. Save in your Hurumanu 3 File.
Its not heavy
You can almost fly
You feel lighter
Your faster
You move your body faster
The white feather
The white feather
The invader thought they were teaching you a lesson but really they were causing mass depression.
All of you were harmed but they were armed.
Nobody was lending you a hand when people were taking your land.
What they did was sad and made you really mad.
