BLAKE NZ-VR (Threats to the Oceans)

Today Room 8 went to BLAKE NZ-VR. We learned more about the threats in the ocean. We were all so excited to put on the VR headsets! We saw some fishes and the ocean, we saw different parts of Hauraki Gulf. Some of them had tons of fish and was a really clear, healthy ocean.  Sadly, many parts of the Hauraki Gulf have been overfished and extremely unhealthy!                                                                                          

After we've learned about the threats in the ocean we got to see some bonus videos with some fishes swimming around us. One sting ray hit the camera! What interesting fact(s) do you know about the ocean?

Growth Mindest

Room 8 has been learning about brains and that your brain is a muscle! Did you know the human brain weighs 3 pounds? What interesting fact(s) do you know about the brain? Here is my Google Slide I made about the human brain!

How We Hear! - Animation

Kia Ora! We have been learning all about sound in Room 8. Here is my Animation about sounds travelling in waves and how we hear. Did you know that there is a cochlea in our ear that is shaped like a snail and is full of liquid? Inside are hairs that change the vibrations into electrical signals that go to the brain. How cool is that? Watch my animation to learn more. Enjoy!

Science Week!

Room 8 did some science this week! We put baking soda and damp rid in vinegar. When we sealed the plastic bag it started filling up with gas and it popped! We also tried to make a little light bulb work! Here is some pictures that we did in science. What is your favourite science experiment? Leave me a comment below.
