Taking Flight- Flying Lizards

 

Taking Flight- If I had a superpower

 If I had a superpower, I would want to see the future. If I see the future, then I could avoid some bad things that might happen to me, like having accidents or avoiding something that I would regret. I had been thinking about flying, but I realized that if I flew, then planes or birds might crash into me. Another reason I wanted to see the future if that I could help and warn others about their future.

Taking Flight- Bird of the year

 The little blue penguins have a very delicate appearrence. Most of their body is covered in a metallic blue- grey colour, while their stomach is white. They are usually found in Australia and New Zealand. Little Blue Penguins eat fish, squids, and krill. Their feathers protect them against cold weather, and when there is predators, they hide in their burrows. The layer of air that is in their feathers helps them shoot to the surface to catch their prey. Most populations of little blue penguins are not endangered.

The Air Up There: Flying Fungi, Maths question

  We tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould.  The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be removed. If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould?

 Answer: 35 days

How I worked it out: Because it said that it took 5 days for each mold, and there were 7 types of mould, I timed the 5 by 7, and the result was 35.

The Air Up There - Carbon Sinks Don't Stink

 If I could put the food I don't like down the carbon sinks, then I would definitely throw away Capsicums. I don't like the sweet taste that they produce, which is somehow bitter at the same time. 

The second thing I would throw away is peanut butter. I don't hate the taste, but what I don't like about it is that the peanut butter sticks to the roof of my mouth, which is very uncomfortable.

Thirdly, I would get rid of juicy strawberries. Juicy strawberries has a weird taste to it, like it is rotten. turns a nasty shade of red, and also attracts little bugs. 

The Air Up There - Bumble Bees

 

This activity was to fill out the five sentances about Bumble Bees

The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to hum or buzz.

Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 1020 kilometres per hour (km/h).

Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.

Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to 50 times as much work as a normal honeybee.

The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the loss of wild flowers.
