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. 

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.

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.

 

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. 

Film Study: Colour & Lighting

What Am I learning?

This week we have been learning about the lighting that they used for the entire film and writing a paragraph about the different part of the film that has the different lighting on it.

How does my work show my learning?

My work is showing that I understand the meaning and message of different lighting in the film and being able to explain them.

What Am I wondering?

During this topic I started to wonder why is it important to have this lighting to every part of the film.

The first time that we saw the real world in the film we can see that they used a lot of pale colors that made it look old, haunted and dry. Coraline’s family are living in a place called “ Pink Palace” . This name is already giving us a hint that the color of their house is pink. Also when we think that this is a palace we think that it’s like a colorful place. Once we saw the place it looked like someone could stay and live there. The lighting is natural that is coming from the cloudy weather. They used pale colors like white, grey and kinda yellowish to make it their house look like it's old. The garden looks like that all the plants are dead and when we saw Coraline walking outside all of the surroundings were all black. 

After Coraline found out about the other world, she went there. The first thing that I saw was when Coraline went to the kitchen and saw the other mother cooking. In this part the lighting looks warm and relaxing, the lighting is artificial and the other mother looks kind, caring and soft. When the other mother asked Coraline to call the other dad we can see that he looks colorful and healthier compared to the other dad. The house in the other world is way more colorful, bright and looks warm. Even the other characters that we saw in the other world are way more colorful than the real them in the real world. 

When Coraline and the other mother started to argue about the button's eyes. We can see the lighting in the other world is way more brighter than before. The only difference is it is brighter not in a good way but it’s burgh that making the atmosphere feel creepy and scary. The other mother becomes more strict to Coraline and the lighting is combined with it very well. After the other mother changed her look the lighting became vivid and they used a lot of strong color to the scary mother. In this part of the movie we barely see a natural light because most of it is artificial and coming from different sources. 

The last and ending part of the film. After Coraline finally stopped the other mother from her evil plan and finally came back to the other world. We can see that the lighting is not as bright as the other world but it’s not as pale as it used to be. In their house we can’t see a lot of things that change the color but the lighting looks happy and starts to get brighter. The ending part of the movie is when Coraline’s family and their neighbors start to fix their garden. The lighting is bright and natural. It is coming from the sun making it look way warmer and more inviting. compared to the first part of the movie. The lighting is cold.

Coraline Film Paragraph

What Am I learning? 

For this week we have been doing some sexxxy paragraph from the film that we watched. We choose 3 different images from the film and make an sexxxy paragraph for each of them. 

How does this work show my learning?

This work is showing my ability to write a sexxxy paragraph. Also my ability to understand the film/movie that I watched.

What am I wondering?

I am wondering if there is any difference from this paragraph to any other paragraph and what is it. 

                                     

S: In this part we can see the doll version of Coraline. This scene is basically the intro of the movie.

During this time we didn’t know that the hands belonged to the other mother because we are just focusing

our attention on the doll. 

E: This scene demonstrates and shows how the other doll changed to Coraline’s doll version. We can see

that the first doll that shows in the window is a different doll but the hands started to change it to look like

Coraline.

X: This makes the audience feel confused at first because we didn’t know who is the doll and what is the

reason why they made the doll. 

X: The director did this scene to give us a little bit of knowledge about the movie. The purpose of this

scene is to show that Coraline looks like. 

X: This worked well with the camera angle and the lighting. The camera angles that they used for this are

showing the whole view of the doll with the dim and pale and making it a little bit scary/creepy.

Y:  This aspect can be compared when we saw Coraline in the film. We can see that the doll looks exactly

like her but their eyes are different. But at the end of the movie we realise that the doll is like a guide by the

other mother to turn Coraline look like the doll with the button eyes. 

S:  This scene from the film is showing how Coraline's parents look like. We can also see in that background

the view of their kitchen. 

E: The camera shot that they used for this is giving us the whole view of the parents and some part of their

kitchen. We can also say that the weather is not good because of the view outside. 

E: This is making the audience feel a little bit creep out because of the style and the color of the house.

It looks like it’s abandoned and haunted.

E: The director uses these types of shots to give us the whole view of Coraline's parents and the color to help

us to see what type of house they are living in. 

E: Combining the lighting, color and the camera angles together make the scene more interesting. It makes

the scene help Coraline to stand out because she is the only one that is colorful.

Y: This aspect can be compared to the look of the other parents in the other world. We can see a lot of

difference between them. That is helping us to identify who the real or fake parents of Coraline are. 

S:  Based on the image we can see that they use a tilt angle. In this scene we know that Coraline went to

look around their house with the doll that looked like her. This is a point of view of the doll. 

E: We can see this because after this scene it shows that the doll is on the corner which is like the image.

So it’s basically saying that the doll is looking at Coraline without her knowing. 

E: This is making the audience feel scared. During this scene they also used scary and creepy background

music. The dark light makes it more look scary and haunted.

E: The director used this angle to make it more creepy for the audience. Also this camera shot is saying it

all, that the scene is all about the doll hiding and looking to Coraline. 

E: Combining dark lighting and tilt shot, this makes the audience feel uncomfortable and scared for

Coraline. This is showing a little bit of tension between the doll and Coraline. 

Y: This reminds me of the first time that Coraline meets Wybie. Both of the scenes have a lot of tension in it

and make us scared and uncomfortable. The camera angle that they use for both scenes makes it more

weird and creepy. 

Arthritis Research - Hurumanu 2

What are the causes of arthritis?

This can be caused by the low immune system. If you don't have a fit and healthy body or you are not doing exercise. It is happening because of an infection called “reactive arthritis” that causes the tissue in your body to attack your own joints. 

Can everyone get arthritis?

Yes, everyone can get this disease and we can all get it with a different age. If we are young or old it doesn’t matter at all because we call this anytime and any age. 

Who is most likely to get arthritis?

Based on my research it is said that you are most likely to have arthritis when you're getting older and you don’t have time to get exercises or have some stretches.  

What are the two most common types?

The two most common types of this are Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis.

• Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation, pain, and swelling into the joints. Most people that can get this type of arthritis are those people that are 25 - 50 years old. Based on my research it says that there are more cases of women that have this compared to men. 

• Osteoarthritis is happening if the cartilage that protects the edge of the bones wears down over time. This arthritic disease is affecting millions of people worldwide. 

What are ways to prevent arthritis?

• Spend some time doing exercise or stretches.

• Stop smoking and avoid injuries.

• Stay healthy and control your body sugar.

• Eat a lot of vegetables or any healthy food. It is good to at least eat fish twice a week.

How is it treated?

Most of the doctors that help to treat your arthritis will give some medicine like painkillers or anti inflammatory. This way is also the most effective way to treat arthritis. This disease can’t be treated permanently but there are ways to manage it. 

Coraline Film - Theme and Ideas

 This week in our English we have been learning about themes and ideas of a movie. We also talked about the different themes and ideas that we've seen in the Coraline film. After that, we need to do our task for this week so we can move up our licenses. We can decided the task that we want to do, it's either a mind map or a theme guide booklet. I decided to do the mind map using Coggle because it's easier for me to do. The characters that I've use to my work is the cat, other mother and Wybie. I will leave a link if you can't read it from here. Link. I also put the images of my characters into the blog because I can't put it with the mind map. 

What am I learning?

On this task I have been learning about the theme that I've seen while watching the Film. Also the things that showing or related to my theme. Most of my ideas are the characters on the film since my theme is about how looks can be deceiving.

How does this result show my learning?

My is showing that I know what the definition of theme and ideas and being able to tell who are the characters on the movie are showing the theme that I picked. 

What am I wondering?

While doing this task I am wondering why themes are important to a movie and if there is a movie or film that don't need to use a theme or ideas. 

The Cat

  

 

Wybie

Mr. Bobinsky

The other mother

Hands Skeleton

For our science topic we have been learning about skeleton. We also talked about how does hands are working and the different parts and bones that you have on your hand. There are 6 different things that you can see and you have on your hands. 

Tendons - This is the tissues that are attached on you muscle and helps you fingers to be able to move. 

Joints - The things that are helping your each bones to be attached and the things that are connecting the bones on you hands.

Bones - In your hands you have 3 smaller bones on your finger and and 2 on your thumb. You also had 5 bones on your palm. On your wrist you have 8 small bones.

Ligaments - This things is connected on your tissue that helping you muscles to make your fingers move.

Muscles - On you hands you just have 2 muscles. You have one on your thumb sides and another one on your pinky side.

Cartilage - This is protecting the ends of your bones so they won't be damage and rubbed on each other.

We also started our task which is doing this demonstration by a paper. We are making a hands that showing that different part of our hands. We used a paper a straw to to it and used a string as a tendons. It will also gonna make our paper hands to be able to move.

How does this work show my learning?

I made this so i can show the meaning of this things and what is the purpose of it.

What am i wondering as a result of this learning? 

I'm wondering what is the most techniques that is common to us.

Language of Film Techniques

Yesterday we have been learning about different types and shots of a photo. We have two different choices to show our learning. We can create a visual dictionary or take a photo showing the different techniques and shots. To show my learning I choose to present it by taking a photo for each different shots. I did this with my two other friends so we just need to use one phone. For this task we need to divide the different techniques into 3 categories. My blog is showing the photo that we had taken and the meaning/example of each different shots.

What am I learning? We have been learning about different camera angles and techniques that are using in the film.

 How does this work show my learning? My work shows that I know the definition of it and the examples of different camera shots and angles.

What Am I wondering as a result of this learning? I am wondering what kind camera angle/shots/movements are common?
