Why do we dream?

Have you ever wondered Why we dream?


Have you ever wondered why we dream, or don’t move when we are dreaming?
Or what’s going in our brain while we sleep. Well this is why we dream. The scientific study of dreaming is called oneriology in words *dream*. And for most of history,It didn’t really exists,because you can’t hold a dream.


 It’s difficult to measure a dream,you can’t taste it. You can’t see other people’s dream and if you ask them to tell you what they dreamt of, The results are almost unreliable.  In fact,it’s estimated that we forget 95 percent of the dreams we have.
DId you know that when someone is asleep and if you watch them,there eyes are moving like crazy.  What happens if I open my sister/brother eyes,while they are sleeping? You guess and i’ll tell you after! Ok so ……..


When we dream we dream of oh I can fly to wherever I  want or, I wanna, I can have a tea party with the queen.
Now the real question is why do we dream Our brain is creating a picture in our mind from our memories that we have, it’s like throwing out old memories and grabbing new memories and putting it into a new dream But you can’t control it.
Sometimes people can control their dream this is called illusive dreaming.
Illusive dreaming is illusive so they can control their own dream.

When some people have nightmares and if you look at their eyes You can see their eyes moving crazy. This is called REM sleep Rapid eye movement.  Why does this happens? A nightmare is not a dream Your brain gets mixed up sometimes with your memories and this is where your fears come from. People get afraid of it . So nightmares are way different to dreams. Nightmares people still think that nightmares are dreams, when they are not.

My day of Leoporsy

.

My name is Will Vailane I am diagnosed with leporsy I got told in 1906

There was no cure to it, I got moved too Quail Island too live. It was so I couldn't in counter anyone and spread the diseases. I had my own small house because I hated living in the hospital. When I wake up I have too wait for my caretaker Mr W.Thomas he would bring me breakfast because I was incapable too make myself breakfast so he would bring it to the gate. So he couldn't get leprosy by touching me. I couldn't read books but I could look at pictures. I got too call my loved ones and friends. But when I had the disease i started to hear birds singing the waves, brushing against the rocks and I could hear the trees swishing against each other. Also I can hear nature while I was there. It was peaceful. At 12:00 I'll get fed lunch. I got cut wood so I wasn't cold at night. At 9:00 I thought about the world of what I could of done, and what it's like too live without the leoporsy. I hoped into bed and then i fell asleep waiting for another day of leprosy.

Quail Island

What does the name Otamahua  mean? Quail island 

Where does the name Quall island come from? Settlers came there were a bunch of quails on it fleeing from them.

How big is the island? Kinda 80 hectares

How was the island created? The island was just a bump in the water and when the sea levels lowered it came out of the water and created a island 

What wildlife is present on the island Tarapunga, Korora, Terns, Shags, Oystercatchers, Piwakawaka and Iriroro.

What food did they gather from Otamahua? Shellfish, birds’ eggs, the eggs were considered a great delicacy. The waters around Ötamahua 

How have introduced species (animals/birds/insects) damaged the environment. The ferrets eat the native birds eggs so the can't be born and then there aren't enough birds to carry the seeds.

What rules has The Department Of Conservation created to help protect Otamahua? Fire is a real danger – do not take matches or cigarette lighters. Be careful with the bags you take on the island.. Check them for unwanted stowaways like rodents. Take all your rubbish home. Take care when walking. Watch out for holes and tree roots and be cautious when walking

Kaitaiakitangi

Nature doesn't need us We need it They take what I take back but humans take more source than anything if nature not keeped healthy than humans won't survive Ice keeps the earth cool I send pieces of me but humans don't do anything the rainforest humans always come back to take. But humans take more than I
 can give .  Trees forests make air for us . Life start with me I feed things I talk without a voice .Soil is pretty much everywhere without me humans won't existed but humans treat soil like dirt.   For a Start  Humans are killing us  We should not sit down we should do something to help. It easy for people just too pick up rubbish It can be anything You or maybe when you are walking around you should pick up rubbish EVEN If ITS NOT YOURS , It could save a animal or mammal

How to Start A good Information debate writing (Educations Purpose only)

How to Start A good Information Story  Hey heres a cool video that i just made Watch it :)
My Debate Is Underneath here {
                                                  v


Kia ora I’m Here too debate about why we should be allowed too hunt whales and not have people against it. Now

whales are the most useful animal really, Am i right? We make    beauty products out of whales blubber too make these beauty items.

We also can make shampoo,Conditioner any beauty products you can name of.

Why do you care when we kill whales? We kill other animals for their meat you guys don’t mind.

We kill farm animals for their meat

You know those dinners you have like Steak Chicken Pork Any meat you can name of. And people don’t mind that it is ManSlaughter

Which side do you Support whales not caring about other animals we use for meat, or us killing them the same way as we do too farm animals.

Look at this picture for a Second  nobody really cares about the slaughter of animals so once again Why do you care about whales getting Slaughter?  

Whales are used for many different things they are used for lots of stuff even one of the useful thing in there body is their blubber.

My terms is that together we can let this happen and just forget about the whales getting slaughter  and leave it because it’s just the same about animals getting slaughter they have meat so animals are useful for their fur and meat.

We should be allowed too kill whales without people being against

it Thank you for your time and Mine.  

 

The Importance of empathy

Its the ability to understand someone else's feelings as if they are your own.   


Empathy can change the world


Empathy could help those in need


Empathy can make people think twice


Empathy can heal people 

Can you tell what people are feeling 

That someone i know did something bad not that happy
Feeling Nervous 


I think Empathy is importance because they are showing you how we feel about everything 

The Brain

The Brain 

The Cerebrum makes you dance talk, The cerebrum is 80% of the brain its split into two half's left and right. The right side controls the left side and the left side controls the right. 

You need the cerebrum too control other parts of the brain 

The brain stem connects to the spinal cord  

to the brain the spinal cord is a bugle of nerves that is protected by the spine The Spinal cord is the main pathway for information to travel cells to the rest of the body. 

The Corpus callosum is a thick band of nerve fiburs that connect the two halfs of the brain 

The cerebellum controls the balance,movement and coronation The cerebellum is located at the back of the brain

Racing cars

What I tried today? I tried to put a spoiler to make the car go faster and to make the car more aerodynamic.

What happened when I tried to race it? when I tried to race it it went really fast but it make the car sway.

What I will try next time? i will try to put balloons to make the car go faster.

What research did do? I do the one on how to make the car become aerodynamic.

1.What has been done to make this a fair test? 

it is a fair test because we have the same track and we can have what angle we want.

2.What forces are needed to make the car go faster and now have you modified your car accordingly?

Gravity,acceleration,drag,air resistance and lift

3.What forces are needed to make the car stop and what adjustment have you made to try & stop it by the line? add more air resistance and reduce acceleration,i try to put balloon at the car and it was too fast that makes the car can't control the speed and makes the car lift a little bit.,to make the car stop i will put fluffy thing by the line.

4.What forces are needed to make the car travel further and what adjustments have you made to achieve this? Make the car more aerodynamic and make some of the forces a little bit unbalance.

5.

High Impact Car Race Results

Today we were racing our cars. 

First we had five minutes too fix our car up for the race. 

The races were The Fastest Car The Furthest
We first dud the Fastest car and then we took two turns at doing it.
Then we did the furthest And mine and Jeremiah Got 4.98
So that was almost five meters.

The Effects of my modifications 

Jeremiah and I Was trying to make the car faster and stop when its about to crash

I myself do not have any photos of our modification but we had made a spoiler.  And we also had made a hood.
This is the finished product.


Here is our car.        We were hoping that it would do great which it did.
Our car went the furthest I think the reason why it did was because everything was even and The spoiler helped the car go faster.
My car did actully good i was really happy that my car went the furthest.

Vortex Cup down.

Aim: Too knock over cups with a bucket filled with air.


Equipment: Bucket Rubbish bag tape and cup


Method: Cut a whole in the bucket then grab a plastic bag put over bucket tape it around hit it and air should come out.

Result: Only got the cups knock over

Discussion:
All in all this activity was ok because i didn't really like it.

Beef jerky

Aim
How To make biltong/Beef jerky


Method
You will need
Soy sauce
Onion  powder
Garlic powder
Liquid smoke 
Sait


Get some steak Ok put it into the freezer now leave it in the freezer about for two hours so while its in the freezer this is  what you wanna do. Grab a bowl and put you soy sauce in the bowl fill the bowl half way up if you have a big bowl. Fill it up too a quarter. Ok now put your liquid smoke in of yeah a teaspoon of it in your bowl. Then add your dry ingredients then mix if you want sait this is optional it will make the steak yummy.   Once it has been two hours get your steak out and
cut the raw meat into thin strips- make sure you don't have any fat on the raw steak,if you do cut that piece off. Once that done you want to dip your meat into the dish you made. And then put all of your meat into it and use your hands to  mix it. Ok put it in the fridge not the freezer and leave that in for 24 hours. Grab that out and put that into a tray but make sure that tray has paper on it so grab that  out of the bag put it on your tray. Once you are done leave it to dry.
Here are the result after it being a week

I didn't really put much sait on it but it stilled dried out. So the taste of a beef jerky. Well others tried mine but i didn't because I don't like beef jerky. But my one was the best that my teacher tried out of 29 Kids in my class He said to me It was delightful and the best he ever tried.  The real Question is HOW does the sait kill the BACTERIA? 

While today salting meat as a method of preservation is generally only commonly used in such things as salted meat and the like, salt has been used as the primary method of preserving meats and various other foods as far back as history records.
Salt has a preservative effect thanks to the osmotic pressure it creates via absorption.  For example,if you take a red blood cell and place it in water, thanks to osmotic pressure and the fact that the cell membrane is thin and semipermeable, the cell with its relatively salty interior next to the pure water will gradually absorb more and more water until it explodes. But I'm really glad that my one came out the best. That Mr Stock has tried in our class, I was so delighted it just open a different world to me.

Mouldy bread Experiment

Mouldy bread experiment

For science we have be learning how to preserve something for over more than  a week without getting mouldy.  So we got an good and fresh piece of bread,and we decided to put on it bacteria. It called be anything else but not a toilet bowl XD  I myself put table,saliva and borger  on the bread. We got a wet paper tow and we put it on the bread to moist it.  It will help the bread still be ok to eat. and this what it came out like
This is a normal bread

Compared to a disgusting piece of bread

This was all just made in 1 week WOW
Now whats is mold?
Mold is a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. In contrast, fungi that can adopt a single-celled growth habit are called yeasts. It smells bad and it can be eaten on accident. There is a high chance of you getting very sick.  So if you touch it on accident wash your hands with soupy water or if it is anywhere else you might what to have a shower/bath 
Have you heard from black mold
If your house is cold or damped a bit, there can be a chance of black mold growing in your house You might be laying down in bed playing on your device then you look up and you see this.

This can be any where in your house 

Thanks for listening   

How the earth was made

The sun was rounded  by a cloud of gas and dust

It cooled down to create rocks

Are moving around the sun it started to bump each other

The little dust partials started to stick to each other

They fell to earth and create metros 

So it picks them up it creates it bigger and bigger one of them had to get bigger and that biggest rock was a little baby earth a young earth The young earth was created with one biggest rock

Dents

The earth got so hot it melted into a ball of fire sank down to form the crore   very hot radio 

how many layers of earth was created

Earth was covered in a tine layer of crust

they took a metro 4.5 billion years old so that means the earth  4.5 billions years ago

So scientist knew how old earth was and made

• 4.5 billion years ago, the Sun was surrounded by a cloud of dust

• the dust cloud cooled and formed minerals

http://aiwait.deviantart.com/art/Microscopic-minerals-143154786

• the minerals began to clump together, held together by static electricity 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0YuivnCXhM

• minerals stick together to make rocks and then the rocks stick together to make larger and larger rocks
• 
• after 30 million years of rocks sticking together, the Earth was made
• 
• then the Earth melted into a big ball of lava
• 
• 
  
• all the metals sank into the core, and all the rocks floated to the surface
• 
• the outside cooled and formed the crust
• 
• then another planet crashed into Earth.
• 
• all the rocks blown into space collected together to make the Moon
• 
• every time a meteorite hit the forming Earth, it brought a little drop of water
• 
• over 200 million years, billions of trillions of meteorites brought enough drops of water to form our oceans.
• 

• amino acids joined together to make DNA strands
• 
• DNA evolved into bacteria
• 
• bacteria used the poisonous gases to make and release oxygen gas into the early atmosphere.
• 

Wind and lift

How i think wind is formed.

Wind can be formed by anything really. 

I don't know what it can be formed by.

But i think it could be form by rain and the clouds. 

Now it doesn't rain everyday ae? But it could do with the trees as well

Wind is formed by heat pretty weird ae?

We did a experiment today  

This is what my project looks like right now without any chemicals. 

Physics of car racing

Today i tried to make mine and Jeremiah car faster

So what i did was blowed up a balloon and put  it on the car. 

                                       If it is the final what i would do is pull the stick the stick will release the

  the balloon and it will make it go faster.

And I would hope for the balloon too stop that will make the car stop. 

I will try too figure out how too stop it. 

I research how too make a car go faster and slower. 

Songs

The song i am researching is  Million Men .



Who the song written by?  Melanie Martinez


Singer is by Melanie Martinez


I like the tune too it

The Physics of Tug-o-war

Today we did Tug-o-war  too see what is easier and harder, if we are pulling on differnt survice and the most hardest one was Lino because it was slippery.

My Perdition
Carpet will be a bit harder with socks on because it doesn't have good grip.
Concrete will be harder for tug-o-war
Grass Has bumps on it so i think yes it does have good grip on
Lino won't have enough grip

Carpet: Was actually kind of harder
Concrete:  Was harder for me too grip but i didn't fall down at all.
Grass: was really hard too girp because i fell down and had a accident with my friend

A Force

We have been learning about what a push and a pull is

I found out that we all have different strength and weight

                                   I am wondering why we have different strength and weight.

Will a medicine ball hit the ground faster than a basketball?

Prediction:  

I think a medicine ball will fall faster because i normal basketball has air in, And a Medicine ball has sand in it.  

Explanation: 

I was actalluy wrong 

Discover our world Kupu

What are we learning We are learning about the identity and how each tasks show a certain thing towards the relationship between you/others and New Zealand!




How I think this work shows my learning
These task showed my learning by the thoughts I have with my task. I think it was a bit tricky to find the maori names for like: Christchurch,Dunedin,Wellington and Auckland.



If I did this task again what would I do differently?
I would of done more work and made my words stand out and hopefully get different team mates that will collaborate with me.  And talk to someone that when I don't understand what one of my task is saying I should ask for help instead of sitting with I mind that doesn't know what to do.

Something I am wondering or a question I have from completing this work 
I am wondering what will happen if we did have a new National day What will people say,or do? 



This is my task I did.
