Science

 Energy Transformation Experiment 

1 - Chemical + Electrical = Battery

2 - Light + Chemical = Lighter

3 Kinetic + Light = Flashlight

Aim : To make a marshmallow shooter that transform energy

Equipment : 

1-  Balloon

2- Cup

3- Tape

4-  Scissors 

Method:

1-   First cut the bottom of the cup to make a hole

2- Cut the top of balloon , not the part where you blow the balloon

3- Stretch the part of the balloon that you have cut and stretch it out so it can fit over the hole in the cup

4- Cello tape around the balloon to secure it 

5- Tie a knot on the part where you blow through the balloon

6 - Place a marshmallow in the bottom of the cup, so basically on the end of the balloon

7 - Then to shoot, pull the part where you tied the knot and let go

Conclusion : It was elastic potential energy, When we were pulling the balloon to make the marshmallows fly, they went up high but it depended on how strong the balloon was. 

End of life choice referendum

 In politics hurumanu we are learning about the government. Today we have been learning about referendum, which is a general vote by an individual and they have to vote yes or no. People who are allowed to vote have to be 18 years old or over, be a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand, they have to suffer from a terminal illness that likely to end their life within 6 months, have a significant and ongoing decline in physical capability, experience unbearable suffering that cannot be eased and they have to be able to make an informed decision about assisted dying. There are some negatives and positives about voting, some negatives can be that doctors who are assigned to give patients the medicine might not feel comfortable doing this because doctors are the ones who help treat or save people. A positive is that the end of life choice is helping people with terminal illness and letting them decide not anyone else. I think that any age can vote or maybe those 10 years old and under, maybe their parents can help them decide?.
