Health - Skin Cancer

In health we were set a task that required us to pick a topic and research about it and answer our 5 big questions. Firstly we had to pick a topic and make up 5 big questions we would have to answer later on. Once we had our 5 big questions we did a lot of research to get the information we needed to answer them. We then had to choose what we were going to show our 5 big questions on. My teammate and myself chose to make a imovie. We wrote down 10 questions that relates to our 5 big questions, then we went and got people from our class and asked them some questions. It was challenging when we had to find people to question because on one really wanted to do it. I worked well with my partner because we work together a lot. I'm also really proud of how we answered our 5 big questions. 

This is our 5 big questions:

Why is Skin cancer Harmful?

Skin cancer can really affect your life, you have to drop a lot of things so you can overcome it. This influences cancer because it can affect your mental and emotional wellbeing as well because you can't do what you want. Well you can but if you get really sick you will be slowly dying so you won’t have energy to do things. You will also be in pain because it can be a sore that doesn’t heal over a few weeks or it can be itchy or tender. It can also cause you to not be able to play sports or even move, you might become reliable for others to do things for you.

What short term and long term effects does skin cancer have on people?

Some consequences of long term effects are, it could ruin your social life and your mental/emotional well being because you are sick all the time and you could start chemo. But if you have a short time to live like 6 months,  you should live your life till you pass away, do everything you always wanted to do, you could write a bucket list then do all of that before you pass, just live your life to the fullest. 

How do you overcome skin cancer?

Some strategies you could do is, choose from a variety of treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, which is a different method for different types of cancer but for skin cancer you have a cream you put on your skin. You should also think positively because cancer can already have such an impact on your emotional wellbeing that if you are negative then it will make it worse.  

Who is disadvantaged and advantaged in relation to gender and sexuality?

A lot of the time doctors will treat younger people first then they will treat older people, because they think that the older people will die sooner. Sometimes doctors won’t treat people that are foreigners or they won’t treat people that don’t have enough money. Sometimes when transgender people or people that are gay, lesbain or bisexaul don’t get given the treatment because the doctors are homiphobic and don’t accept them. A lot of people take this personally because the doctors are treating them differently. 

How does it pass down from one family member to another?

Skin cancer is a genetic type of cancer that basically means that it runs through your family and you can get tested to make sure you don’t have the gene. Someone can get skin cancer and it won’t pass down in the family, it is a 50/50 chance of it running down your family. Interpersonally, a parent may pass down a copy of their normal gene or they could pass down a copy of the cancerous gene.

P.E - Gymnastics

This term we have been doing gymnastics. This term is a lot more fun than last year because there is more activities and we are learning at our own pace.

1- Forward roll

2- Cartwheel

Savings

In business we had to make a mindmup to show our understandings of savings. 

Hope you enjoy...

Budgeting

In business we have been learning about budgeting. We had to make a DLO to show how to budget and what budgeting is.

 

What is budgeting?	How to budget.
Budgeting is learning how to save money. Keeping track of how much money you spend and how much you get. Saving up your money to buy something out of your price range. Knowing the difference between what you need and what you want.	Saving money to save up for something out of your budget. Not buying unnecessary items. Buying things you need, not want.

Eye Dissection

 Aim- To dissect a cow's eye and look at the different parts of the eye. 

Equipment:

1: Cow's eye

2: Scissors

3: Newspaper

4: Tweezers

5: Rubber glove. 

Method:

1: Set up a tray with newspaper on the desk, the tray on top and the scissors and tweezers in the tray.  

2:  Put on a rubber glove. 

3: Start to remove the excess fat and meat from around the eyeball before dissecting it. 

4: Puncture a hole in the cornea, where the cornea and the sclera meet.

5: Cut around the cornea so that the vitreous fluid leaks out of the eye onto the tray. 

6: Once the cornea has been totally removed you will be able to move the lens from the iris. 

7: Cut the eye in half so that the inside is totally exposed. Once this has been done you will be able to access the retina at the back of the eye. 

8: You should now have placed the retina, lens, cornea and iris on a piece of paper.  

9: The dissection is now complete and all the parts of the eye need to be wrapped up and trashed. The trays and utensils that were needed must be rinsed and the rubber gloves thrown out. 

Summary:

The cow's eye has exactly the same parts as the human eye except for its ability to see better ing the dark.  

Leadership

In leadership we have been learning about different styles of leadership. We had to make a DLO and put two examples of people that show the style.

Incident Ray-Incoming ray

Reflected Ray-The light ray that bounces of a surface. 

Refracted Ray-The ray that has bent as it enters a new medium.

Normal Line-imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the surface of a mirror or any surface.

Budgeting Crossword.

This crossword is about the keywords that we have been learning about in business. I used 12 words and put the definition as clues. 

I used google to find some of the definitions, i didn't use any websites i used the dictionary.

The Marketing Mix - Promotion

For market day I am promoting my business by hanging posters around the school and having a slideshow on the TV's. Our product is for both genders and it can be for any age but I think younger people would be more interested in them. Our product is not that expensive so you don't have to have a lot of money. We are just trying to get customers to come and get our product then sharing our name around so more people will come. Our product will hopefully be appealing to the customers so they will want to buy it. My group is focusing more on our product because it is the most important because if no one wants our product our business will die. 

The Marketing Mix - Place

We will be producing my product in our class because i am not making something like food so we don't need a lot of room. A good location is around other people that are doing the same category as us. I personally think it would be best to be inside because everyone that does food or outside activity's will most likely be outside. Our product might draw people in, it depends on what the person likes. Some people are doing similar products to us. They are doing gift boxes, which is quite similar to the thing we are doing. 

Power To The People

In Power To The People we have been learning about politics. In my group there is Shane, Minseo, Ella, Talia and myself. Ella is our leader. Our group is called NPP, it stands for New Zealand Political Party. Our slogan is "Endless Possibilities With NPP." Our logo is...

Energy Transformation Experiment.

1.  Chemical + electrical= Battery, Phone
2. Light + Chemical= Torch
3. Kinetic + Light=  Car

Aim: To make a marshmallow shooter that transforms energy.

Equipment:

1- Plastic Cup

2- Balloon

3- Marshmallow

4- Scissors

Method:

1- Cut a hole in the bottom of the cup

2- Cut the end to the balloon

3- Put the balloon on the bottom of the cup

4- Tie the balloon on the cup

5- Put the marshmallow in the cup.

Conclusion:

When we were pulling the balloon to make the marshmallows fly, they went up high but it depended on how strong the balloon was.  Elastic energy to kinetic energy. 

Power To The People

 In Power To The People we had to make a Piktochart to show our learning. We have been learning about how to be elected to become the prime minister.
