Bridge

  This week we are trying to make a bridge that can withstand the most weight with the least amount of materials possible. Sonny is the civil designer, I am the civil engineer, Haki is the bridge welder and George is the resource manager. Our materials are hot glue and ice cream sticks. The bridge we are going for is something like this.

  

Heart Dissection

 The topic that we are in right now in science is heart dissection. I have learnt many things from this topic. For example the heart has four chambers called left atrium, right atrium, left ventricles and the right ventricle. I have also learnt that the left side of the heart is a lot more muscular than the right side because the left side pumps the blood all around the body where the right side doesn’t pump very far.

This photo shows our teacher showing us the different parts of the lungs. In this photo he is showing us the throat in this photo. 

I have found learning about the heart was interesting and fun to learn about why each part of the heart does what it does. Next year I am looking forward to hopefully using the microscope because last time we did this it was fun and interesting. 

Undertstanding Media

Media There are many different media such as electronic and printed media. Printed media are things like newspaper, posters, magazines and even signs. Electronic media are things like ads, the news, a computer, social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Tiktok. To use media watch videos, see signs on the road, read magazines watch television all of that stuff is media. We use media for thing such as entertainment and learning things. Watching videos on youtube or Instagram is watching media for your own entertainment. Personally I mainly use media for entertainment watching videos and going on Instagram. I also use it for learning especially in class.
