Hurumanu-wind power

Measuring weather.

Definitions:

1. Anemometer:
2. Beaufort wind scale:

MATERIALS  

1. sellotape
2. pencil 
3. pin
4. two sticks
5. four cups     

STEPS

1.   sellotape the four cups to the sticks
2. put the pin in the rubber of the pencil
3. test it out

Group Investigation.

Groups size: 5 
Roles:

• Timekeeper ( watch)

• Counter

• Recorder ( chromebook or refill )

• Anemometer Manager ( Anemometer)

• Wind Manager

Instructions:

• Go to the measuring place and set up your wind gauge.
• Make sure everyone in your group is ready to start their roles.
• Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
• Count the number of spins in 15 seconds.
• Record it on your chart.

FINDINGS

	Place name on school grounds	Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.	Field
2.	Old J Block site
3.	Grass hill in quad
4.	Tennis Court gate

• USING A4 PAPER DRAW YOUR RESULTS ON A GRAPH.
• TAKE A PICTURE OF THE GRAPH AND UPLOAD IT TO YOUR BLOG

WHICH IS THE WINDEST AREA AND WHY?

WHICH IS THE CALMEST AREA AND WHY?

WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE ON LAND TO BUILD A WINDMILL?

CONCLUSION:

Wind

Beaufort Wind Scale

Beaufort Force	Wind Speed (KPH)	Spins	Indicators	Terms Used in NWS Forecasts
0	0-2	0	Calm; smoke rises vertically.	Calm
1	2-5	10	Shown by direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes.	Light
2	6-12	40	Wind felt on face, leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind.	Light
3	13-20	80	Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag.	Gentle
4	21-29	130	Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved.	Moderate
5	30-39	190	Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters.	Fresh
6	40-50	250	Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty.	Strong
7	51-61	320	Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind.	Strong
8	62-74	390	Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress.	Gale
9	75-87	470	Slight structural damage.	Gale
10	88-101	550	Seldom experienced inland; trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs.	Whole gale
11	102-116	640	Very rarely experienced inland; accompanied by widespread damage.	Whole gale
12	117 or more	730+	Very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage.	Hurricane

Based on your findings what was the Wind Speed and the Beaufort Wind Force for each area.

	Spins per minute	Wind speed ( kph)	Beaufort Scale
Field	60	13-20 (kph)	3
Old J Block site	40	6-12(kph)	2
Grass hill	20	6-12(kph)	1
Tennis Court Gate	15	2-5(kph)	0

conclusion:

We found out that the wind speed on the field is 13-20(kph)
 the other places around the school didn't have much air flowing in that area because of the buildings and the staff in the way the air in the field is free space.  

Hurumanu-solar Energy

Solar Energy

Aim: To find out which colour attracts the suns heat.

Hypothesis:

Materials:

1.  tinfoil cup with foil
2. plastic cup and plastic bag 
3. white cup and white paper
4.  water from the teacher
5.  a lamp 
6. thermometer 

Steps

1.  Collect your Plastic 
2.  Collect the tin foil
3.  Collect the cups
4.  Pour water into each cup
5.   Put the thermometer into each cup after each recordings.
6. Put down your findings

Findings:

Time	Cup 1 White	Cup 2 Black	Cup 3 Tinfoil
0	16	16	16
15
30
45

conclusion:

We found out that the White cup was the less warm cup out of all of the cups. Secondly we found out that the tin foil cup was the hottest out of all of them and the plastic cup was 

Hurumanu-renewable energy

Aim: To make a solar powered oven.

Materials: 

1. Card box pizza box
2. Tin foil
3. Glad rap
4. Cello tape
5. Ruler
6. Straw
7. Marshmallow
8. Chocolate biscuit
9. Black plastic bag
10. Newspaper
11. Scissors
12. Vivid maker

Steps:

1. Cut out the flap on the lid of the pizza box so that it is 5 cm around the edge.
2. Sellotape some tinfoil on the inside of the flap.
3. Sellotape some glad wrap so that the hole you have cut out on the pizza box lid is covered over with glad wrap.
4. Put a piece of black plastic on the bottom of the inside of the pizza box.
5. Make a paper square that fits inside the pizza box and lays around the edge.
6. Put a marshmallow on the top of the chocolate biscuit , place it on a plate and put it in the solar oven.
7. Put it in the sun to cook. 

Conclusion:
We couldn't get much sun to cook the marshmallow's and the chocolate biscuit

what i did in the holidays

Hi i am going to talk about my holiday and what i did in the holiday's

My Highlight:

In the holiday's we were doing a BBQ for the family i was cooking the chicken and my uncle was doing the sausages and my mum was in side the house making the potatoe salad and once we finish making the food then we gathered altogether and and my uncle did the prayer then we all did our own by just grabbing how much food we wanted to eat once everyone was full the i cleaned all the dishes and we watched movies on Netflix on the T.V and everyone including me we all went to sleep.

My low light:

 just staying at home doing nothing all i did was clean the house and and my little brother annoying me all day long nonstop he will only stop once i'm about to slap him in the head then he will stop and my sister wont stop getting smart and being annoying she will just wont stop hitting me and man once there gone i have quiet and i can relax and sleep.
