Aurora Borealis - Aurora Lights in the Arctic / North

Aurora Australis - Aurora Lights in the Antarctic / South

Particles - a small portion

Atoms - source of nuclear energy

Magnetic poles - Earth’s magnetic field made by swirling motions of molten iron in Earth’s outer core, the north and south magnetic poles are near the geographic poles. This is where the Aurora Lights are centered around.

Geographic poles - the South and North poles (top and bottom of the earth)

Hydrogen - a colour and odorless highly flammable gas.

Helium - A gas like element in the sun’s atmosphere and in natural gas, that’s lighter than air.

Forces - Hurricanes

They form over warm oceans of at least 30° C. The water evaporates easily and rises quickly as water vapour as a result of the warm waters. As the water vapour hits the cooler air it forms into water droplets of rain in storm clouds.  When the heat moves quick it creates a spinning pattern around the center of the storm clouds which becomes the eye. Stronger winds move it across the sea where it expands its width and become a bigger threat by gathering more warm moist air.  This also increases the speed and sucking power. Once the wind speed reaches 120 km per hour  it is called a hurricane and given a name so it is easy to identify.

Inertia Forces

What is Inertia?

Inertia is the first law of motion. It is when an object wants to continue what it is already doing. But if an obstacle is put in its way it will resist stopping. An example is a car, if the car suddenly stops moving(brake) the people in the car still want to move but a seat belt will act as an obstacle by stopping you from moving. Also when a stone is kicked it take force to kick it because it doesn't want to stop want its doing, but if it faces an obstacle such as air friction, rough ground or a physical obstacle then it will resist stopping, but eventually stop.

Balance and Unbalanced Forces

What is a Balanced Force?

Balanced Force is when two forces acting on opposite sides of an object are equal in newtons. It causes the object to remain still.

What is a Unbalanced Force?

A unbalanced force is the opposite of a balanced force. An object with unbalanced force moves in the opposite direction to the side that has more force applied.

Logo Creation

Recently we have been learning about money. Miss J gave everyone in Ruma J a banqer account. Banqer is an online bank system for kids to learn about managing a bank account. For us to learn about managing a bank account we needed some money to put in the bank, so we started our own businesses. My business partner is named Tess. So far we are running 3 companies together. These are the logos for the companies that Tess and I own. I hope you like them.

      This is the logo is of the company that Tess and I first came up with. The name of the company is K&K LTD. K&K LTD provides a service that reminds our classmates to do their jobs. The reason we chose these colours for our logo is because blue is associated with trust, loyalty, wisdom and security.

        This is the logo is of  the company Tess and I came up with second. The name of this company is K&K Kares. This company provides a helping hand to the school by checking the role of how many people there are each day

      This is the logo is of the latest company Tess and I have came up with. The name of the company is K&K Blossoms. Every two days we clean the fallen blossoms from under the tree that's outside our school. We chose these colours for our logo because we liked how they went together.
