Matariki 2021

 Welcome Viewers to my blog,

Today we are going to be talking about Matariki. Matariki is a Maori new year. Every New Zealanders honour Matariki on June 24. Way before the seven stars called Matariki helped the Maori recognise when is winter going to happen. So they could harvest the food plus not undernourish when it's winter.

Here are three facts about Matariki

Since the Matariki stars keep reappearing it signals the beginning of the Māori New Year and winter for the Maori's.

Matariki is a star cluster, not a constellation.

You can see Matariki for yourself outside on June midnight.

Matariki is one of the star clusters near-earth so it's easier to see with your eyes

Taste Test

 Welcome Viewers to my blog,

Today I'm going to be sharing with you my science experiment. The experiment was easier than I expected. We have to do a taste test. We have to identify what food it is. But we have to do it blindfolded and with our nose block. 

The method we used was,

Let someone cut up the food for you without you knowing what it is.

Get a partner to feed you the food.

Blindfold yourself and block your nose. 

Guess what it is.

It's your partner's turn.

After when they finish your done.

As you can see it was really easy. But guessing what is the food is harder than you think. But when I tried the apple was the easiest thing to guess. Maybe because the flavour is unique or I ate too many apples and remembered the flavour. 

Next, we did a tongue taste. We got three substances and put them on a taste buds area. Then after when we put on a tasting area we have to guess which taste buds is which. Funny story, I put the sugar in the front of my tongue and it was really sweet but really sour so I stood up and walked around for a bit.

Here is the Graph on how many people got a taste correct.

A Computer In Your Mind

 Welcome Viewers to my blog, 

Today I'm going to share with you my opinion about the new technology Elon made. If you don't know about it, it's called Neuralink. It's a little coin looking chip thing that the doctors will implant inside your brain. 

Here is my opinion

Neuralink is a brand new tech created by Elon to help paralysed humans connect with technology. Elon Musk also created it to help defeat AI if they get to advance

Elon worries about when AI takes over the world. He wanted to implant humans with neural link to help defeat AI in the future. He also invented it to help people. 

 For example, the video ‘Monkey Pong’ shows a monkey using a computer to play some simple games. If the money wins in the game he gets banana smoothy. The money for a treat gets a banana after. 

I think this new technology advancement is awesome. But there are lots of flaws in the technology. A lot of people will deny the technology because they think it’s bad. If hackers get more advance they could even hack the Neuralink. Lots of things could go bad if they don’t increase the security measure. But I think there could be good, I think they could be also bad. But that is what they said when the new iPhone was created. People were like, “Things could go wrong. What if the phone was evil.” Now we basically use the glass touch screen phone as standard. It won’t hurt if you don’t give it a try. 

Thank you for reading my blog post. Please leave a comment and don't forget to add some feedback. Would you try Neuralink? You could imagine music or look at your phone without using your phone. Because I would, well if they are tested as safe.

Pocket Rocket

 Welcome Viewers to my blog,

Today we are going to talk about my last experiment. The science wasn't that complex and it was pretty easy. We got a little small cylinder to put the vinegar inside. Then we got the baking soda in another glass jar.  We put the baking soda in another glass gar because it was going to have a chemical reaction with the baking soda.

The cylinder must have a lid so it could launch up. So first we quickly got 1 teaspoon of baking soda. We put it inside then we turned it upside down. He ran back because we didn't know what was going to happen. Then. Pop! You could see the surprised face of most of them. 

Here is a video of us launching the first pocket rocket. Everyone was surprised. Sound Warning. Camera Shaky.

Drama Reflection

 Welcome Viewers back to my blog,

Today I'm going to be telling you about my reflection. Drama has not been one of my favourite subjects. I would try to find a way to quickly finish and watch the rest perform. The drama wasn't that bad after the second time. I thought I couldn't remember the script. But I quickly adapted to it.

Science Indicators

Welcome Viewers to my blog,

Today we are going to be talking about an experiment that me and my friend Khiel did. We were doing an experiment when we add acid, alkali and water/neutral to something like cranberry juice, tea and turmeric powder. We also got a chance to try out the universal indicator. 

So we tested cranberry juice with acid, water and alkali. First, we put acid in cranberry juice. It didn’t change the colour much because it’s already red. It just got a little bit darker. It’s not that noticeable. Next, we did the water. We added water to the cranberry juice and we overfell it a little bit. The cranberry juice was a little bit lighter than before, like when you add water to basically everything. Next, we added alkali to the cranberries. This one was a noticeable change. It got really dark. It kinda got 2x darker

Next, we tried tea. The tea smelt and looked really good. Again when we added the acid it still looked the same. Then we added some water and it did the same thing. It just made it a little lighter like how you add water to most substance. Then we added alkali and surprise surprise it became a darker colour.

Next, we did it with some turmeric powder. First, we were hyped up so we added water first. Because we saw some group that added water first then it looked like orange juice. We quickly went to go and get some water and added it. We moved the test tube around and mixed it. It turned orange then we put it down. Next, we went and added Akali. We mixed it around as it turned dark orange. Then we added some acid. It kinda turned it into a lighter colour for some reason.

Then we wanted to try out the Universal Indicator. First, we added a couple of drops of acid, then water then akali. We got out the universal indicator and added a couple of drops in each one. The acid started turning red as the water turned green. The alkali turned into a dark blue colour. 

Red - Acid

Green - Neutral

Blue - Akali

Sports Heroes

 Welcome Viewers to my blog,

Today I'm going to be showing you my work about sports heroes. They are basically sports stars. But we are doing heroes for Hur2. Oh, I forgot I added two E-Sports Heroes because I like E-Sports. But they are regarded as Heroes for some people because they help them go through tough times, Or let some people have fun. I don't have anything else to say so,

Here is my presentation.
