Letters Home

Task Description: For this task I had to write etters in two different perspectives. First a sodier in ireland during WW1. Then a mother worrying for her child. I like work like this i've done it a few times and i wish we did it more. I posted it onto my blog with all the qualities that make a high standard blog post.

Static Image

Task Descirption: For this task Room 4 Literacy Had to identify what a static Image is by identifying the use of signs symbols Font and colour. We looked at symbols first then we looked at Fonts and colours. I really like the concept of Static Image. I posted the presentation onto my blog with a Walt on the presentation a Title, a Task Description and Labels.

The Sniper

Task Description: For this task I made a copy of the presentation, and put it into my reading folder. I then read the text. I was given a list of words that were, new to all of the members of the class, and we had to find the definition. On top of that we had to answer questions about the book. We were mainly thinking about language features and which words the author uses. I then posted it onto my blog with Title a Walt, Labels and a Task Description.

DMIC Maths Week 5

Walt: Take risks to share our mathematical thinking.


Task Description: For this task I went down to the mat with my DMIC groups. I then discussed the problem with my group and teacher. Once I had finished that I went to my desk ad finished this presentation that helped me reflect on my DMIC maths work.

Sorting Organisms

 As you can see i have labeled the cell and the parts of it that connect to DNA in order from largest to smallest.

This is a picture of my labeled animals that are also ordered in smallest to largest.

How Chromosomes DNA and Genes connected?

How are DNA Chromosomes and Genes connected?

Your body is made of around hundreds of thousands of cells. Cells are like little factories in our bodies. Inside the nucleus is the DNA that makes us who we are.
DNA is in the chromosomes, the chromosomes are in the nucleus.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, each chromosome contains different information about the genes.
Each ladder of DNA are made of four protein bases A,G,C,T, all humans have these bases but every human has their own unique pattern or code of bases.
Nucleotide Bases which include these 4 proteins (A,G,C,T) form one ladder of DNA, they are always in pairs, T fits with A and C fits with G.
When a sequence of three pairs of protein come together they make a codon which is like a word, 3 our thousands of words create a chapter which is a gene, you can look at the chromosome like a book because a group of genes creates a chromosome. All our chromosomes together are like a book series.

So in summary Chromosomes are made up of smaller units called genes, genes are made of codons, codons are made of nucleotide bases.

Task Description: For this task my class sat down at the tables and took notes on DNA, Genes, and Chromosomes. It was also to prepare us for highschool. These are my notes. 

Labeling the Parts of a Cell

Walt: Label the different parts of the cell through an animation.

Task Description: This movie was all about teaching you the different parts of the cell and what they do. When I started I made a centre stack on hyperstudio, This stack would be the one that I put all my other movies into. Then I made a stack for each organelle and recorded that stack to make a movie. Once I had finished making the movies on the little stack I recorded that one centre stacks with all of the movies inside of it. Once I had finally finished the movie I posted it onto my blog with a Walt, a Task Description, Labels and a Title.

Myths and Legends

Task Description: For this task I made a copy of the presentation put it into my reading folder on google drive so that my teacher Mrs Stone would have easy access to it. I then read the texts and answered the questions Mrs Stone had given us. I then posted it onto my blog with Labels a title and a task description.

Hypothesizing with onion cells.

Group: Hinerangi, Jahzara, and I

Aim: see onion cells on a microscope

Hypothesis: I reckon at 100X magnification we’ll be able to see the onion cells.

Equipment:

Microscope
onion
slide
cover slip
Tweezers
Blue dye

Method: We started with the slide. Then we pulled a thin layer of skin off of an onion with tweezers. We placed the onion skin onto the slide then put some saline onto it so that the blue stain would spread easily. Then we gently placed the cover slip onto the onion skin.

Observation: On the 10x microscope we saw the cells and they looked something like this.
On the 40x magnification we saw it a bit more zoomed in but there wasnt that much difference.

Then on the 100x magnification we could only see purple from the stain.

Conclusion: My hypothesis was wrong and we saw the onion cell in 10x magnification, then we saw it in 40x but we didn’t see it on 100x magnification.
