Social Studies Inquiry ( My island Tuvalu )
Two pictures of my Inquiry.

Osmosis: a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.

What is Osmosis?

Plants use a process called Osmosis. This involves the diffusion of water through a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration of water.

High concentration - Low Concentration.

The sugar molecules make the water inside the root cell less concentrated than the water in the soil surrounding it, so more water molecules move into the plant tan out. This pressure helps water rise a short way up the stem.

Science Properties of Matters.

To this week, My class was learning about  Properties of matters, but most of the class didn't learn much through this week.  I finished my Title Page about Properties Of Matters.

In class we were learning about 3 matters. ( Solid, Liquid, and Gas )


 


Condensation
Evaporation
Freezing.

What i was learning this was...

Atoms:  Atom are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements
Molecules: Molecules is the smallest particle in a chemical element or compound that has the chemical properties  of that element or compound
Element: An element is a substance consisting of atoms which all have the same number of protons- i.e. the same atom number
Compound: A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemicals elements are chemically bonded together
Mixture:   A mixture is a material system made up of two or more different
Chemicals reaction: Chemicals reaction, a process in which one or more substances ( The reactants ) are converted to one or more different substances.
Reactant: A substance participating in a chemical reaction
Product: A product is a substance that is formed as the result of a chemical reaction
Boiling: Boiling is the process by which a liquid turns into a vapour when it is heated to its boiling point
Melting: is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substanc from a solid to a liquid
Condensation: Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from gas phase into liquid phase
Evaporation: Evaporation is the process of a substancce oin a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature and/ or pressure.

things science

I learnt plants cells and animals cells are different but some parts of it are the same.

The interesting or important part of my study is the difference between the plant and animal cells.

Plant cells and animal cells picture:

        

 

So for science we were learning about Microscope and how it works and what its for, here are some photos of my work.

So far i have learnt what objective lens used for, and it is used to look into the object and see the bacteria and stuff and the clips are to keep the object in place and hold it from slipping or moving, and for the focus knob, it is used to adjust the object.

Music blog and my duet partner Lekah Hafoka

This is just a Screenhot. :)

In this video, my duet partner ( Moa aka Lekah) and I were singing to a Tongan traditional song, I'longa ha taha.

What I found difficult about learning this piece was the lyrics cause I had to practice the lyrics till I got it right and choosing a song we like.

Some challenges we faced as a group were our verse and choosing which one we would like.

We overcame these challenges by working together and being confident by singing in front of her.

Our performance was good because we sang our best and had fun.

What I enjoyed about this task was sing with my friends and having fun learning new songs.
What I learned from this task were team word and new lyrics.
What I will do differently for the next task is finishing it on time.
