Science - research

 Krakatoa

Where is it? 

• Rakata Island, Indonesia

When did it last erupt?

• 2020, started in 1883

Damage it has done?

• Krakatoa has done a lot of damage to the places and people around it. 

• In 1833 Krakatoa first erupted. Ash fell on Singapore, Cocos Island, and ships as far as 6067 km west-northwest. Darkness covered the Sunda Straits from 11 a.m on the 27th until the next day. At least 36,417 people were killed, most people died from giant sea waves, and coastal villages were destroyed. When the eruption ended, only ⅓ of Krakatau remained above sea level and new islands formed from the magma spewing out of the volcano

• It had destroyed and formed lands while also causing havoc for residents and other countries.

How and when was it formed?

• Since Krakatoa lies along the Indian-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates its how it was formed. Because the two tectonic plates are dangerous at risk of high volcanic and seismic activity it's pretty common that one was made. It supposedly started/formed in 400 BC. 

Interesting random facts?

• the first eruption lasted one minute and 12 seconds 

• The 1883 eruption was the loudest sounds ever reported in the history

•  Records held that 165 villages and towns surrounding Kratatoa were destroyed and 132 more were seriously damaged 

• Karatoa had killed 30.000+ people

• in August 1883 was one of the most deadly  colacine eruptions in modern history, it is estimated that more than 36.00 people died. the eruption aslp affected the climate and caused temperature to drop over the world.

• Karatoa belongs to the ring of fire

today we erupted our volcano that we have been created and been working on for 3 classes.

here is a video of our volcano erupting 

How we made it to erupt: 

15ml of warm water

25ml of hydrogen peroxide

2 spatulas of potassium iodine into the warm water and stir.

Hydrogen peroxide food coloring and soap into the bottle that sits inside the volcano.

Warm water and potassium iodine is then added with the Hydrogen peroxide and soap which is how elephant toothpaste is made.

Novel study - character paragraph - Ellie

 One of the important moments for Ellie is When she returns home to a different world. After a camping trip in ‘Hell’ Ellie and her friends arrive back to empty homes. She is scared and confused by the fact that everyone is gone. She becomes distraught when she realizes that her dogs have been attacked.  This is a key moment because Ellie realizes that there might be a war on. The impact of this moment is the realization that something very serious has taken place. This moment shows the reader that Ellie is understanding that something larger has begun. Ellie’s reaction makes the reader think about war and invasion and how we would react in similar circumstances.

in instance a quote stated by Ellie had gave me a clue that she finally went into realistion

Ellie and her friends came back to where they used to call it they're "home" was a whole different world, as sated by Ellie in pg 78-9“At that stage I still hadn’t come to terms with what had happened. That's not surprising. We knew so little. All we had were clues, guesses, surmises” she finally went in to reality and realidng putting every clue together. realized that

Social Studies 2020 - Technology

For the past century, Technology has been evolving into greater inventions. For many centuries technology has had some amazing improvements. This is important because without technology we wouldn't be where we are today. One thing that has changed over time is Cellphones. Before in the past, people use to send letters to each other which took a lot of time. Nowadays people just send a text message or call each other instead or talk in person. This shows that communication has changed over time. Another thing that has changed over time is transportation. Before people use to ride horses and carriages whereas nowadays people just use vehicles like a car or plane to get to places. This shows that transportation has changed over time, as now we have evolved from one thing to another. One last thing that has changed through time is Entertainment. Before entertainment used to be dull and you would have fewer options, you would also have to watch it at a certain time. Now people use online streaming services to watch their favourite shows that they are interested in, you can watch them at whatever time you want. This is how entertainment has changed over time because of technology. These are some things that have changed over time because of technology. Without technology, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Social Studies 2020 - Cellphone use

Are students addicted to their cellphones? If so, is that a problem?
Yes

Key Idea -
The negative impact on students

What you must achieve
( In the paragraph I am trying to show/prove/explain that)


Students are addicted to cell phones
Information
(Key Evidence/information you want to include)

Why they use it
Time Spent
Social Media


Delufiy
(Best paragraph structure to convey this is)
Lawyer Paragraph


Teenagers are addicted to cell phones. This matters because nowadays teenagers can't imagine a day without cell phones. This also matters because this is their only entertainment system at this point, they don't use TVs or read, etc. Students are addicted to cell phones because of social media, they use social media to communicate with the people around them. It’s an easier solution than talking in person with someone and you can meet more people easier than meeting them in person. This affects them negatively because they can be judged heavily for the things they post and they can also be cyberbullied by the people around them. They also use cell phones for normal uses, such as reading, as a calculator, and a searching device. This can impact teenagers negatively as they can use them for too long and it can affect them personally. Teenagers spend quite a lot of time on cell phones as they can’t think of something better to do. They also spend a lot of time on cell phones because of the people around them. This can affect them negatively because they can lose focus easier and can also affect their eyesight. These are only some reasons why teenagers are addicted to cell phones. Cell phones are useful, but nowadays teenagers are using them for useless purposes.

English 2020 - novel studies

 Chapter 3

1. What kind of person is Kevin in chapter 3?
2. Ellie says Fi in like an exoticbutterfly-P.33 Do you agree with Ellie, why/why not? yes because like what Ellie said I've never meet or know anyone that haven't tired 2 minutes noodles. but finding that FI said she comes from a family that is into healthy foods, is understandable.

Chapter 4

3. Ellie claims that ‘Hell’ is only a label and that people label things all the time, often ignoring or overlooking certain labeled places or things-pg 43. She then comes to the conclusion that ‘Hell was people’ pg43. Is she right? What’s your opinion, on labeling and Hell?
4. What was especially peculiar about the planes that flew over Hell? ‘Their noise, their speed, their darkness frightened me.’ Pg 38 Why do you think these frightened Ellie?because of the different noises changing within a short term of time leaving him a shock and confused to what's happening

  chapter 9-12

1.Why, in Ellie’s opinion, is Cobbler’s Bay and Wirrawee so important to the invaders?

• to keep quiet and have more view on the rest of the world

2.Corrie and Ellie reminisce about how innocent they were in high school and even a few days ago. Why were they still innocent then? Why are they no longer innocent

• I feel like they both think theyŕe not as innocent as they were younger or before high school. because of the bad or naughty things they've done that they never or couldn't do when they were younger.

3.By blowing up Corrie’s house, what does the invading force demonstrate to the teenagers?

• to take action and do everything they needed to do as fast as they can, so at last, they can leave with everything they ended and without getting harmed

4,Describe the strategy Home and Ellie use to ensure their safety when riding their bikes into town. What does this show about how they are starting to think?

• to ride on the outstrike and always have alert on their surrounding, because they are starting to think that this is a new reality and everything that is happening is real and serious

5.How does Ellie feel as she is waiting in the truck at the Council Depot? Where do her emotions come from?

• fear. because she love and cared about her friends, she doesn't wanna hurt them or nor kill them

6.Why is it so terrible that Chris falls asleep while on sentry duty? How does Ellie react? Why do you think she reacts this way? How does she feel about her reaction later?

• because Chris is putting all their lives at risk just because he's decreasing himself. Ellie begins to kick chris as some ways of punishing him. i think she reacted this way because she was also enchantment. Ellie was also sacred and annoyed because she and put all her effort and done so much for them just to get where they are now. she feels like shes in the wrong and terrified at her self and with all the violent actions she had to go through she feels like she changing into a monster which she does not like

All teenagers have a specific role to play in their group. Describe the roles each teenager plays?

• Kevin and corrie are watching over the showground while Robyn and Chris going around town looking for hiders and for useful information 
•  

According to what the teenagers hear on Corrie's radio, why would America be best not to get involved in Australia’s struggle?

• 
  

Why is Australia being invaded?

What do Kevin and Robyn argue about? Do you think Robyn’s points are fair?

“Paradise of Hell” is an oxymoron. What does it mean.
Kevin’s hatred of the invaders is quite extreme. Why do you think he is so angry?

Despite the fact that the teenagers are in the midst of a war zone, evading enemy soldiers and planning guerrilla operations, they still find time to harbour romances. Do you think this is realistic?

Briefly summarise the story of the Hermit from Hell. Do you believe he killed his family?

Business 2020
