Digestive System - Science Hurumanu

Teeth

How do these organs help our body digest food? 

It helps us by tearing the hard parts of our food. It chews our food and combines our food with saliva which turns it into Bolus. A term used to describe food that has been chewed.

Why are they important for our survival?

Your teeth are important for your survival because if you don’t have teeth, you have nothing to chew your food. 

Esophagus 

How do these organs help our body digest food? 

After the food turns into bolus in your mouth the next process will be the contracting and squeezing the food together in your esophagus. This will make the good moves down from the esophagus to the stomach.  

Why are they important for our survival?

This organ is important because they are helping us in the digestion process. If we don’t have this organ it can be hard for us to digest the food. 

Stomach 

How do these organs help our body digest food?

The stomach is one of the most important organs that is needed to be able to digest food. The stomach breaks down the food that you chewed and swallowed. The stomach’s strong muscles start to work and act like a blender which turns the bolus into a usable form.

Why are they important for our survival?

Like I said before, the stomach is an important organ in our body because it breaks down the food that you have chewed and swallowed. It then sends the ‘usable form’ into the small intestine and carries on from there.

Small Intestine  

How do these organs help our body digest food? 

Small intestine is helping our body to absorb the nutrients in the food. This organ is also carrying the most work for our digestive process. 

Why are they important for our survival?

As I said, the small intestine is the organ that does most of the work is the digestion process. 

Large Intestine  

How do these organs help our body digest food?

The job of this organ is to absorb the remaining nutrients, minerals and water in your body. This organ is also helping to change the leftover waste into bowel movements. 

Why are they important for our survival?

This organ is important because if we don’t have a large intestine we won’t be able to have water in our body. We all know that almost every part of our body needs water so we need an organ that can help us to absorb water. 

Liver 

How do these organs help our body digest food?

Liver is the organ that absorbs some of our body needs. One of the things that we need in our body that our liver is absorbing is fats. 

Why are they important for our survival?

Our body needs fat but not too much. So this is the reason why our liver is important for our survival. 

Rectum 

How do these organs help our body digest food?

The Rectum is filled with nerves that sense when it is full and when the body waist (poop) is ready to be evacuated. The waist stays in the rectum until the time comes for the evacuation.

Why are they important for our survival?

The rectum is important because it is the only organ that stores the waist until it’s time for the evacuation to take place. 

Anus 

How do these organs help our body digest food?

After the digestion process and the rectum is filled with waste it will come out into anus. Basically, that is what you call poo. 

Why are they important for our survival?

It is important to our body to let out the waste and we can get sick if the waste stays in our body. 

Slinkachu - Arts

For the half of our term we have been learning about slinkachu. We do some research some information about the founder and different examples of it. Our teach share a slides to each one of us to complete before the school year ends. In the slide you can see some information explaining what is slinkachu and more detail about the different slinkachu project. After we have done this part, we choose our own example and identify the different composition of art. On our chosen image we started to identify what is the focal point, leading line,asymmetry and symmetry. 

After identify this things on our own chose image, we started to sketch it. Basically, in this part we're just copying the image, we did the same thing with both of this activity. After this two tasks the next thing is all about doing and making our own slinkachu. It took me a long time to be able to have any idea and inspiration for my work. After spending a few weeks for my slinkachu idea, I finally came up with my own idea. You can find all the information about it on the last slides. 

EOTC Week - 8 Water Ways Safety

Hi everyone, since next week we are gonna do our EOTC week for this year. Our teacher decided to give different tasks about it. I decided to do  a task about '8 water ways safety' today. I choose this because it is easy to finish. We used canva for our posters and upload it in our blog.

Coraline Challenges Chart - Film Studies

 What Am I learning? 

For this week task we are learning about the challenges that the characters faced on the film, how they solved this and what are they reactions to it. Also we are trying to identify what each of them shows to us.

How does my work show my learning?

I used canva to present my learning. This is showing that I can understand the different questions that we need to answer. 

What am I wondering? 

During this time I started to wonder if we all the characters on the film are facing a problem.

Discovery Task - Health Hurumanu

Hi everyone, for our health class after we've done our previous topic we started our new topic. This is not like the topic that we have been learning before. For this one we can choose the topic that interests us and the topic that we want to do a different task. Firstly, we need to decided if we want to do it in pair or by yourself. Since, my friend wants to do filming we decided to do it in pair. The topic that we choose is ASPD or Antisocial Personality Disorder. 

Firstly, we had to do our planning sheet, in this part we are doing some different tasks that is all about our topic. First thing we are choosing 5 big questions that we wants to answer, for our answers for this questions we need to use a different key concept as many as we can.Also the questions that we choose for this part have a different color that are representing the different stages. The questions that we choose has one red, 2 yellow and 2 red.

Red - Legend

Yellow - Pro

Green - Rookie

Once we have done our big questions we started to do our strategies. In this part we are giving some of  the strategies that we can use for our topic and telling if this affects us in long/short term, also we are identifying what part of the hauora/well being each one of our strategies. After we've done all of it me and my partner start to think what we might do. We decided to do the filming, one of my friend decided to work with us since er topic can be combined with our one. 

While doing this task I experience some struggles but I can say that I did good with most of it. For me I think my big struggle on this task is when we started to do our filming. I really hate filming myself so I don't feel comfortable while doing this and I need to have a lot of courage to do it properly. But I think the other work/tasks is alright for me, I can say that I did good to it.

Mythical Creatures - ESOL Halloween Project

 Last week because it's Halloween, we have been learning about different cultural mythical creatures. Because of this we are doing a Halloween project. We can work in this individually or as a group. Me and my friends decided to work as a group because we want to do a filming to show the topic that we chose. I have Janel and Alliah in my group and for our  topic. we choose to do one of the most scary mythical creatures in the Philippines called " White Lady". 

What is white lady? 

This mythical creature is not just popular in the Philippines. Most of the horror movie that we have watched before is showing what this actually looks like. In my country we said that the white lady is a girl with long dress that are covering her whole body and with the very long hair that covering her whole face.

Why did we choose this topic?  

We choose this topic because as I said this is one of the most common scary creatures that we have in our country. Also there is a lot of people that are sharing their experience about seeing white lady before. We also know most of the characteristics that they have such as their actions and what would they look like. So this gave us an easy work because we just need to film and edit it. 

This is the video that we made, I hope you will like it. 

Heart Dissection - Science Hurumanu

This week for our science hurumanu we are dissecting a pig's heart. We did this because so we can identify the different part of a heart. For this week we have been learning about the different part of the heart and the function of it. While dissecting the heart we seen 4 different parts of the heart.

What have we been learning about?

We have been leaning about the different parts of the heart and how it is working and helping our body. Heart is important because it helping us to keep alive. Also hear is helping to pumps our blood all over our body. It also helps to pump oxygen. Being able to identify the different parts of the heart is really important. Because we have been leaning about this we did a hear dissection.

Why are we dissecting heart?
We are dissecting a heart to we can see what it actually looks like and to see the different part of it. Being able to identify the different part of the heart using the real example of it.

What are the parts of the heart? Did you see them? This is the part of the heart that we have been learning about. The other heart that we used for this experiment doesn't have the tube in it and the atrium but the heart that our group has has the atrium.

Parts Of The Heart

• Atrium - This is the top part of the heart and the one of is receiving the blood.

• Ventricle - This is the one who is pumping the blood away from the body.

• Valves - The function of this part is to move the blood all over our body.

• Pulmonary Artery - This the part of our heart that pumping the oxygen to our lungs.

Did you enjoy the dissection? Why/why not?
I enjoyed dissecting a heart because it helps me to see where is the places of the different parts and helping to understand how it actually working and what how does the different part of the heart helping each other. I am looking forward to this ind of dissecting again.

 

The Ocean Pollution - Essay

   The Ocean Pollution

Can you imagine what it feels like having a polluted ocean? Our planet is covered with 71 percent of water. Even though it is renewable it is still a concern for us to have it polluted. Ocean pollution can have a big impact on different things, such as wildlife, sea creatures and their habitats. There are alot of reasons why the ocean is getting polluted. It can be because of natural things or human activities. But we are talking about pollution so it’s mostly about human activities. So in this essay I will be talking about the causes and effects of ocean pollution.

Oil Spill is one of the reasons why we are having ocean pollution. This can be really worse than we expected it to be if we didn’t solve it as soon as possible. Oil spills can be caused by the ships having an issue or problem that can make the oil flow into the ocean. Oil spills are the result of an accident, such as a tanker colliding with another ship or running aground in shallow water. Rubbish can also be the reason for ocean pollution, Why? Because the more rubbish they will stay in the water the more chances of it to be polluted. Even though it will just stay for a little time it will still leave some germs or dirty substances in the water. 

This can have a big impact in different things in our planet, for example if different types of rubbish mixed in the water it will create a big pollution and make it smell gross, we know that water is important for us so just imagine if the water that we are using smells gross and you can see the dirty things in it. We don’t want this to happen so be resporsible not just for your own good but also for the other people. Oil spill, can be the cause of ocean fish waste and making the sea creatures die, also this can destroy their habitat. The longer that the oil stays in the water the wider that it will go so it is for the best if we solved this problem we can avoid the negative impacts in our ocean. 

We may have a lot of things that can affect our ocean. We still have some solutions that we can do to avoid this and things that can help us to be more responsible for this. Pollution is because of our different activities so it’s also us that we need to solve this. Rubbish can be easier to resolve compared to oil spill. But still both of this is harmful for human and other living things on our planet. Since water is the most important thing that we need to have, we need to take care of our environment not just for the present but also for those other generations that are coming. 

This essay is saying that ocean pollution can be worse that we are expecting it to be. This is also saying that this is not a joke and we need to have a solution for this as soon as possible. This piece of writing showing the different causes and effects of ocean pollution is our environment and our lives. It may sound simple but it is a major issue that we are dealing for our whole life. Taking care of our planet is the most helpful thing that we can do for ourselves and other people.

Film Studies - Freytags Pyramid

What Am I learning? 

We have been learning what is the plot of the movie and how can we show this using a timeline or a freytags pyramid. 

How does my work show my learning?

This is showing that I am be able to summarize the film and divided it into different part of it. Also showing the I learned something new while doing this activity.

What am I wondering? 

After this I finally know what the purpose of the plot and how can I summaries it using a timeline. I also learned the different part of freytags pyramid and how to divide the film into different part of it.
