Video Reflection

This is my video reflection for 2007

Elise, Penny And Christie's Maths Game

What you will need:
One whole deci pipe
10 tenths of a deci pipe
10 hundredths of a deci pipe
One bead chain

Instructions:

1. Player 1 gives player 2 some deci pipes including at least 1 tenth, 1 hundredth and 1 thousandth to make a three place decimal

2. Player 2 uses the pipes that player 1 gave them and puts them on the whole pipe and shows player one what the decimal number is on the number fan.Remember to explain why. eg: 0.537 because there is 5 tenths on the deci pipe so you put the 5 straight after the point. There are 3 hundredths on the pipe so I put the 3 in the hundredths column. There are 7 thousandths on the pipe so the 7 goes in the thousandths column.

3. Using the beads player 2 shows the decimal number. Remember the beads will not show the thousandths. Take away the thousandths from the number. Eg. .256 will turn into .25.

Key Competency Reflection - Christie

Key Comps Reflection.
perserveres
because i have become more perservering to stuff that I have been very nervous and frightened but i still did it, and I felt great after it.

Im really proud of myself because i was the alian in our wearable arts.

Inquiry
because

Note taking

Why is it important to know how Antarctica has changed when other frozen places in the world are easier to get?
because its so big and its a massive Continent and has 90% of the fresh water. another thing about Antarctica is it been un habitant and it gives you a start to something that hasn't been discovered

s there a risk of cracking the ice?
yes definitely. in the winter it get really thick but by February its almost gone sea ice gets very thick there is a big risk of it cracking but also the risk of it moving what causes the wind and storm

What preparations have been made for drilling to get underway?
they started p[planning 4 this 7 years ago and they started by ordering the drills 4 years ago, a lot of preparation when drilling never stops.

How much time have you spent in Antarctica and has working there changed a lot since you first went there?
started in 1974 as a mountain air Scott base has changed a lot since they first time thy went and the communication has got a lot better, people took the environment for granted, none of those thing have happened b4 they aren’t allowed to leave any rubbish at Antarctica has changed dramatically as well!

What has been the warmest temperature in Antarctica?
Antarctica is a huge place and the temperature keeps changing it never gets higher then 3 o 4 degrees it does vary quite a lot

How does the drill reach 1000m? Ethan A.
get down through the target bend.

What information are you hoping to find out and do you expect this to be different to previous drill core information?
there are two main objectives paleontology which means the way that Antarctica has changed.

How many different nationalities of scientists are there? Do you all get along and do you all use the same methods even though you are from different countries?

there are 4 nations there r the united states NZ, Germany, Italy. they get on well because they understand each other and they all use the same methods,

How do you get the air bags under the sea ice to support the drill rig?
some people may not even be a ware the we use air bags under the drill rig. they send divers down and reach the buoyancy to keeps all the bags in place the diver that they use are very experienced.

What are your hours of work, weekends, breaks and holidays etc for this type of work?
they work 24/7 people on the job use 12 hour shits they get there breaks by spelling people out. when people take a day off only 2 people can do that until they finally reach there target

Do you use the same drill bits to drill through ice and rock and how often do you have to change them? What are the drill bits made of?
the drilling through ice and drilling thought water are quite different. they use a mechanical drill or a hot water drill that’s the most effect way to drill through the ice. They are very small and are made of very strong steel the drill bits can cost $4-5000

What do you miss most when working in Antarctica?
miss his wife and two children but he also misses smell the smell of plants you dont get into Antarctica

Why does the sea riser need to be straight?
we sink into the sea drill and if that’s not straight the coring tubes will rub in the inside and the hole thing starts to slow down

do you need any special skills to work at the drilling place, if so what skills? Renee
we have four students studying geology, a mountaineer, chef, helicopter flyer,______

Has drilling ever had to be halted for any reason and are there people who are against drilling in such a pristine environment?
drills sometime break. hydraulic hoses burst.

Has the drilling process been as successful as you wanted it to be?
each year they have drilled there getting more successful every meter that they drilled it gets more successful.

Global Warming Final Question, Ju and Christie

Compare the adaptions the animals will have to make through the past present and future.

Andrill project intro

Wonderings of gloabal warming

wanderings of gloabal warming
my wanderings were why Timber is the most enviormentally friendly.
another wandering was why is methane so bad. I wanted know why coal and petrolum is so bad is there a certain thing in petrolum and coal that are bad

Discoverys of gloabal warming

wanderings and discovery about gloabal warming
my discoverys were that timber was the most enviromentally friendly but. another discovery was that The greenhouse effect is actually a natural thing. Housing prouducts that use wood and other materials need less energy than fosil feuls that lets out lots of co2 witch will heat the world because of the green house gases.
But the carbon that trees have absorbed from the atmosphere gets stored in the wood. So long as the wood isn't burnt, or allowed to decompose, the carbon will stay in there for many generations.

My student led conference

my Student led conference
I thought my student led conference was really well because practised quite a lot but I think I over practised a we bt to much becase I went on for about 40 minutes but I still think it was a good S.L.C my feed back was wery interesting to see the things you have been doing in class, great you have been learning about gloabal warming, very funnny story.

Reflection Wearable Arts

Today I found out some more ideas for our wearable arts I thought of a car that lets out lots of green house gases and also just a plain black clothes and has lots of fluro springs just poping out. because of this learning I now have pleanty of optoins for my costume. something I do not understand why cannot can not be spelt like didn't . next steps are to practise my goals.
