Beats and beyond

In Beats and Beyond we are looking at, singers and bands. We had to write about one New Zealand Singer/Musician and One band I picked Bic Runga and Shihad. Here is a slide show I made of the artist and band and there are two songs enjoy. :)

Beats and beyond ;0

This week we are starting a new hurumanu, which one of them is music. In music, we have come up with a name for it called Beats and beyond. On Monday we listened to music like looping what Ed Sheeran does and other cool music. Today we had Mr Mitchell talk to us about the different types of guitars. There were the Steel string guitar, Nylon-string guitar, Dreadnaught guitar and Backpack guitar.

Have you ever wondered what the hole in the guitar is for? Well, it is for when you strum, the noise goes through the hole in the guitar then comes out to play an amazing sound.

The Dreadnaught guitar is a guitar with a big body, it is one of the most common ones. The picture down below is Mr Mitchell holding the guitar.

Here is another photo with a different guitar.

Maths D.L.O

This is all the work from this term at the end is the work I did this week, I added this slide so you can see what I have learned over the term. I hope you learn something from this and make sure to check slide 6 for what I did this week.

How to get to Mars

Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts 
2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover
3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts: 

What are the 5 parts for? 
Link: Rovers 5 parts

Fill in the table below.

Name:	Purpose:
Wheels	The wheels have individual steering motors and the steering capability allows the vehicle to turn in place, a full 360 degrees. The wheels also allow the rover to swerve and curve making arcing turns.
Solar Panel	The main source of power for rovers comes from Multi- Panel Solar. The Solar Panels purpose is to provide energy, not to fly.
Laser	From more than 20 feet away, Super Cam can fire a laser to study rock targets smaller than a pencil point. That lets the rover study spots it can't reach with its arms.
Camera	The rover has several camera's focused on engineering and science tasks. Some of the cameras help the rover land and the others are the eyes to help drive around on the surface.
Shovel, rock pick, drill	The Mars 2020 will gather samples from Martian rocks and soil using its drill. The rover will then store the sample cores in tubes on the Martian surface. This entire process is called "sample caching".

The barefoot burgler

The case of the Barefoot Burglar

In groups of 3, you are going to need to use your forensic knowledge to solve a crime. You must use the web page: Barefoot Burglar Evidence

1. Determine which of the four suspects is the "Barefooted Burglar"? 
2. What do you think was the motive for this crime? 
3. Write the results of your findings and convince a jury of your peers

The Crime

At approximately 7:15 a.m., Friday morning, Mrs King, the science teacher, thought something was fishy as she walked down the hall and noticed that her door was open. She walked into her classroom and immediately discovered that the small aquarium had been broken and her prized goldfish were gasping in the sink. Besides the broken aquarium were the shattered remains of the pink piggy bank that had been on the shelf above the aquarium. A can of blue paint was spilt on the floor. Footprints of a barefooted burglar led to an open window. Bits of a white powdery substance was found next to the broken, empty, piggy bank. The only other item found was a half-eaten large chunk of chocolate candy.

When the police arrived they immediately began to gather forensic evidence.

Dan the Man Height : 176 cm Alias: The General Dan was wearing a woollen general's uniform with small holes when apprehended in the woods. He claimed to be gnawing on wood for moisture and insects to practice his survival training. His teeth look like beavers from gnawing. His wife complains that she never has any baking soda due to Dan's compulsion about storing clothes in mothballs. He thinks the baking soda takes away the mothball smell, so he stuffs his pockets with the substance. Also, his wife reports that her giant chocolate kisses continually disappear from the candy cupboard. He blames their dog Patton, an English bull terrier, who patrols the neighbourhood. His neighbours report that Dan loves the military. He was very regimented about playing taps on his bugle every day at sunset until an irate neighbour broke his bugle. Dan has been trying to save money for a new one. Peg the Leg Height: 152 cm Alias: Lucky Lady

Peg is a librarian known for hanging horseshoes and four leaf clovers in her library. Employees say she is so superstitious she insisted on carpeting in the library instead of laying tiles so she would not step on the cracks. She wraps construction zone tape around open ladders so no one can walk under them. Cola bottles litter her office, which she drinks with chocolate chunks. Her teeth are chipped from knocking the bottles against them. She is always throwing salt over her shoulder for good luck and keeps a salt shaker in her purse. Her alibi is that she was busy closing open umbrellas the morning of the crime.

Jake the Jock

                                                                         Height 201 cm

                                                     Alias: Armchair Quarterback

                                                                                         

Jake the Jock is known for quoting statistics on every sport from boomerang throwing to sledge dogging. His neighbours report that he is the neighbourhood pitcher for baseball games. Last year a baseball hit him in the mouth and knocked out his front tooth. This has cramped his eating style of chocolate chunks, candied apples, and corn on the cob. His wife claims that on the morning of the crime Jake was rubbing his hands with cornstarch to keep them dry in preparation for an important baseball game.

Lou Lou Height: 160 cm Alias: Sweet Tooth

Lou Lou is so addicted to sugar that she never leaves home without it. She loves to bake sweet things and has an entire pantry full of sugar bins. She claims to have been baking her famous chocolate chunk cookies the morning of the crime (although not a morsel of a cookie or chocolate chunk was left when the police arrived.) Lou Lou rarely wears shoes, which often causes her to slip and break things, especially her collection of ceramic pigs. Evidence:

• Fingerprints: Sticky, 'swirl' fingerprints were lifted from the aquarium and piggy bank. 
• Footprints: The painted footprints were measured and were for 26 cm feet. 
• Teeth: The chunk of chocolate candy was collected for examination. It appeared there were teeth imprints.
• White Powder: The white powdery substance by the piggy bank was carefully placed in a plastic bag and taken to the forensic chemist for identification. It had very small grains and when mixed with Iodine it reacted making the colour brown. It did not have a smell.

Name: Dave

                        

Fingerprints: No.

Mouth prints: Has a chipped tooth.
Shoe size: 16
White powder: None found.

Name	Evidence
Dan	Fingerprints: Whorl Mouthprints: Beaver's teeth Shoe size: 26.6cm White powder: Baking soda
Peg	Fingerprints: Loop Mouthprints: Chipped tooth Shoe size: 16 White powder: Salt
Jake	Fingerprints: Whorl Mouthprints: Missing tooth Shoe size: White powder: corn starch
Lou	Fingerprints: Arch Mouthprints: maybe no teeth cause sugar Shoe size: White powder: Sugar

Findings: ( what did you find. Summarise what you have written in the table above)
I have managed to make a conclusion and makes the most sense.
Dan had had: Fingerprints: Whorl. Mouthprints: Bunny teeth. Shoe size: 26.67 cm. White powder: baking soda.
Peg: Fingerprints: loop. Mouthprints: Chipped. Shoe size: 22.86. White powder: Salt
Jake: Fingerprints: Whorl. Mouthprints:  One Missing. Shoe size: 30.17. White powder: cornstarch
Lou : Fingerprints: Arch. Mouthprints:  Perfect. Shoe size: 24.23. White powder: Sugar
I thought it was Lou at the start because she sounded the most like it until I found the evidence.

Verdict: ( who is the burglar and why)

Dan and Peg are both the criminal, because of the handwriting were from Peg ut the footprint was from Dan so I believe they both have done it.
