Term 3 Week 1

                            Term 3 Week 1

This week we all did a story on earthquakes, we did this because we recently had an earthquake that we felt. I found out that we have around 5 earthquakes every 24 hours but we just don't feel them all. Here is my writing I did on earthquakes.

Earthquakes can be very destructive and you can tell how big they are online by going to geonet.com on your browser. It’s truly amazing how many earthquakes happen in a city within 24 hours. We had about 5 earthquakes in the last 24 hours in our country. The biggest ones magnitude was 4.3 . The 1931 napier earthquake magnitude was 7.8, it was on tuesday 3rd of february 1931 at 10:47am. One day ago in the south island there was a strong 5.0 earthquake. In the napier earthquake 256 people died. There was two major aftershocks in the napier earthquake, there was a 6.4 magnitude aftershock on the 5 days after and a 7.3 magnitude aftershock 10 days after.

I was away on Thursday because i had a really sore stomach.

I missed tech yesterday sadly but i was not feeling well at all.

Today we have Electives and I am doing Peak Fitness.

This video was very interesting because the jelly expanded in to long thin pieces and it all split up. It happened because the tennis raquet has wholes in it meaning that the jelly will split into pieces the size of the raquets wholes and the pieces even expanded into long strips. Jelly is very soft and easy to split and break so the force of the tennis raquet hitting the jelly split it up into lots of pieces because of the force of the raquet.

This video was very interesting because i play football and I have been hit in the face before and now I know what it does to my body and what it looks like in slow motion. because your cheeks are loose and easy to move so the ball pushed the cheeks in a different direction. The soccer ball was hitting his face with a reasonable fast speed forcing his face to go the same direction as the ball.

This was interesting because I have done it before and its cool to see other people doing it because that put it in slower slow motion because they have a proper expensive camera. The rubber bands were forcing the watermelon to split in half because the were making the watermelon tight in the middle so it's sort of splitting it in half and explode.
