A Journey To Outer Space

 Kia Ora Bloggers. Today I have made a slideshow animation. Mr. Margetts, joined our Google Meets to teach us how to make this animation.  I used planets and shapes to construct a journey. My rocket launched from earth, then went to Jupiter, then landed on Mars. It was a bit hard to copy and group the objects but easy to visualize how I wanted the rocket to plan its journey. 

Lockdown Task 9: Deep Space Network Supercone

 Hello Bloggers today Kea had another lockdown task. This task requires a lot of research and crafting. Have you ever heard of a supercone before? A supercone is a object most astronauts use to hear if there is any outer life. Today´s task was to make a D.I.Y Supercone. My supercone was quite easy to make. I have uploaded the slides and article if you want to have a go. The purpose of this is to put it in your ear and hear the different sounds the world around you makes. 

Here is a photo of my supercone:

It was fun to take it outside and hear different noises from what our ears hear. But other than that do you know how our ears hear? Its quite a fascinating explaination. Your ears hear all the sounds that are around you. Those sounds turn into vibrations which do inside you ear. Once inside your ear the go to the eardrum which passes them to the 3 bones near your eardrum. Those bones push the vibrations into your choclea which pushes them into the brain. The brains job is to translate the sounds to you. This process happens very quickly. Here is the article link and the slides:

Thank you for reading my blog post. I hope you enjoyed the cycle of your ears as well. My challenge for you is to leave a comment if you have another fun fact about sound waves. 

Lockdown task 7 : Digital mars Rover

 Kia Ora Fellow Bloggers. Today is another day for Kea´s Distance Learning. But today was quite unique unlike the normal days we have. Kea was just discussing the challenge for today when the teachers showed us a slide with 3 different breakout rooms. Each was with a teacher. The first breakout room was with Mrs Tonga and Whaea Sam. They were doing creative writing. The second breakout room was with Mr Toala and Mrs Mel. They were doing recount writing. And the last breakout room was with Whaea Ocea and Mulki doing comment on dojo/blog.

 We each had a chance to choose the breakout room we wanted to go to. I chose to go in the second breakout room. I clicked the link and set off to go to the google meet. When I was there a lot of other student were as well. Mr Toala told us and gave us examples of what we were supposed to do. Then we asked some questions and went back to the main google meet session. There we talked about what we did and how we are going to do it. So now i´m doing 1 of my tasks which is to make another mars rover.

I will try and post the recount later in the day. but for now you can take a look at my mars rover. Here is my Mars Rover. The last time I drew it but today I made it digitally. I found it easy to try and use different shapes, but found it hard to find the right background to match my image.

Here is a description of how I made my rover: 

1. I used a variety of shapes to try and find something to match the base
2. I found a background that I like and displayed it
3. Then I coloured in my shapes and added 2 buttons.

So to conclude, that was the end of how I made my rover. I hope you can follow these instructions and make your own rover. 

Lockdown Task 3 : D.I.Y Space Station.

 Hello fellow bloggers! Once again I have come with another task to share. This time I was working with a friend of mine. We put together a slideshow presentation of what we made. As you all know Im a very big fan of K-pop. Me and Belinda even added our favorite k-pop groups so it was like how we would design it. Mine is BTS and Stray kids and Belinda´s is Enhypen. I made my 2 satellites BTS and Stray kids themed. Each slide shows you the rockets me and Belinda designed.

 Belinda made an Enhypen satellite explaining the outside of a satellite, while I did a Bts satellite which talks about the wings and a Stray kids satellite which talks about the body.On the second slide you can press on the logo of the satellite you want to see the most and It will take you there. I found it hard to make the line intact with the wings, but found it easy to design it and colour it. 

Lockdown Task 2 : D.I.Y Space Helmet.

 As you all know its the second day of lock down , so that means its the time to post what kea´s second task was. Whaea Sarah was in charge of telling us what our second task was. She explained that we had to make our own space helmet out of objects we find around our household. We could construct it out of plates, or draw it, or make it digital. I didn´t quite find the equipment i needed to build a space helmet, so I decided to make it on google drawings.

I labeled my helmet with all the things it can help me with in outer space. I found it challenging to use the formatting options because i wanted to change the colour of my helmet or drop the shadow reflection. I found it easy to design it and add my personal touch to it.

I added SKZOO to the side to make it look more fun. I added arrows pointing to the labels so you can read it. 

( SKZOO is  a project by Stray Kids, where each member has a cartoon avatar representing them)

Lockdown Task 1: Rocket Project

 Today the kea team planned out an activity to keep us occupied during lockdown. That activity was to draw or make a rocket. I drew a rocket because I found it quite challenging to find the materials to make one. I found it easy to draw all of the feature to my drawing and I found it challenging to color it becuase it took time.

I added my own twist to my rocket so it looked different. I drew the rocket with a BTS logo because I am obsessed BTS. And I also drew half the earth to show the rocket escaping the earths gravitational pull. The fins on my rocket help the aerodynamics accelerate . Accelerate means to make it move quickly and/or faster. And aerodynamics is the force of which an object can interact with the air with a solid body. This with make my rocket move more faster escaping earths gravitational pull.
