Geometry: Alien Angles

Geometry: Alien Angles

This math activity is called Alien Angles. In this game a number and a degree will pop up at the bottom, and you have to try and guess the angle. I got it right a few times but it was very hard trying to figure out where the angles where, especially because we couldn’t see the protractor. I got 4 right and a few wrong, but next time I will try harder and hopefully get a better score.

A Letter To Mr. Hendricks

Glen Innes School

Auckland Glen Innes

26 July 2016

Dear Mr. Hendricks,

I strongly believe that the year 7 & 8 students should be able to organize and run the mini olympics for the senior part of the school.

First of all, I think it would be a good idea for us to set it up because we will be able to get a chance to feel what it's like to take leadership and to be in control of something, and then use it in the future.

Secondly, most of the teachers don’t really know the sports that the students like, and when we play the games, we won't put that much effort into it, so it would be a fun idea if we were to be able to pick the sports we really like instead of playing sports that we don’t like.

Last but not least, if we do get the chance to organize the mini olympics, I think it would be good thing to have chance to actually communicate and work together, and maybe even combine our ideas together and learn how to negotiate until we get to an agreement.

Hopefully you will be able to let us organize it, and surely you will be impressed by what we can do.

Yours Sincerely

Richelle from room 7

It Circulates: The Circulatory System

It Circulates: The Circulatory System

1. What is the function of the white blood cells?

The function of the white blood cells is to help fight infections. They help by attacking bacteria, viruses and germs that invade the body.

2. How are the arteries and veins alike?

The arteries and veins are alike because they both carry things around the body. The only difference is that they carry different things.

3. Bason on other information in the passage, what gases are being exchanged in the alveoli

The gases that are being exchanged in the alveoli are Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.

4. What is the main idea of this passage?

The main idea of the passage is to tell us what different things happen in our body that contain or have something to do with blood.

5. What does hemoglobin do?

The Hemoglobin allows blood to hold on to oxygen and carry it around the body.

Water and Blood: The Excretory System

Water and Blood: The Excretory System

1. In your own words, explain why the excretory system is important to your body.

The excretory system is very important for the body because it is in charge of getting rid of the waste, and without the excretory system it can lead to death.

2. Why is it dangerous to be unable to sweat?

It is dangerous to be unable to sweat because you could get an heat stroke, and that is very dangerous because it can lead to death.

3. What substance does the liver change into urea?

The substance that the liver changes into urea is Nitrogen. When you recycle the waste a lot of Nitrogen comes into the blood so to prevent it the liver it there to filter it.

4. Which organs turns liquid into urine?

The organ that turns into urine is the kidneys. When you drink lots of water the kidneys separate some water into the blood and then the rest turns into urine.

5. What happens if waste builds up in our body?

If waste builds up in the body it becomes toxic, which can be very deadly.

Tissues, Organs, & Systems: Life Science

Tissues, Organs & Systems: Life Science

1. Which statement supports the fact that bone cells are small than bone tissues.

The statement that supports the fact that bone cells are smaller than the bones tissues for me is that bone cells combined with other bone cells make bone tissues.

2. What is a organ? Give an example of an organ.

A organ is an group of tissues that work together to do a certain job for the body. An example for an organ is an internal organ.

3. List two organ systems.

The Respiratory System and The Circulatory System.

4. Which organ systems do you think is the most interesting? Explain why?

I think the Respiratory System is the most interesting because it is in charge of the way we breath and it is very cool to know how it works.

5. Why is it necessary for the respiratory and circulatory systems to work together?

It is very important for the circulatory system and the respiratory system to work together so they can make sure the organ tissues receive enough oxygen.

Gas Exchange: The Respiratory System

Gas Exchange: Respiratory System

1. What is the purpose of the Circulatory system?

The purpose of the Circulatory system is for it to transport all the gases to where they need to go.

2. Identify the parts of the Respiratory system?

The parts of the Respiratory system are the trachea, the lungs, the bronchi, nose, and mouth.

     3)  What is the function of the alveoli

The function of the alveoli is to diffuse the oxygen into the blood.

     4)  How does the body get rid of carbon dioxide?

The body gets rid of carbon dioxide by exhaling. When you exhale the carbon dioxide goes out of your body.

     5)  How does your body make room for a deep breath?

Your body makes room for a deep breath by changing the size of the chest. Your chest changes size whenever you inhale.
