I know it happened on 18th November, 1947. I have been to ballantynes before so I defentinly know it happened in Chrischuch.

What do I think I will find out about this disaster?

Olympic Task board

 Kia ora viewers,

This week our hurumanu have been doing a new week of our taskboards! The topic for this week is sport! I'm in group kowhai and our group is doing a article called born to run. The article is about a man named Arthur Lydiard and he is a professinal runner. What we had to do was do a form first about the topic and the ideas for next week. 

There is also a video on there as well as a website about it. We also had to make a drawing of some key ideas/words about in the article!

Here is mine!

The last thing we had to do was make another google drawing and create a olympic sport. And say what gear to use and the rules. Here is mine :) (This is volleyball by the way!)

Hope you all like my post! Do you know anything else about this sport? Have a amazing day! Bye :D 

Olympic Sports!

Kia ora viewers,

This week our Wananga have been doing a google drawing about Olympic sports! My Wananga teacher sent us website about every sport that we could put on a google drawing and write facts about that sport! The sport I choose was badminton! I actually play badminton and it's really fun! If you ever wanna use the website my teacher sent us i'll put a link on right here: Olympic sports! 

Here is my google drawing about badminton! :D

Thank you all for checking my post! Do you know anything else about badminton? Hope you have a good day! Bye :)

Eating Hot Chilli's!

Aim:

I want to find out if milk will help reduce the burn of the hot sauce.

Research of video's: 

People eating Carolina repper 

this is a video of what the pepper does to you if you tired it!

The experiment 

Method:

Equipment 

1. hot sauce 
2. toothpick
3. Stopwatch 
4. Water, Coke, milk

Instructions 

1. Get all of your equipment 
2. Dip the toothpick in the hot sauce
3. Suck the hot sauce off the toothpick
4. Start timing 
5. Stop timing when it stops burning.

Results: 

	Straight chilli	water	coke	milk
time taken to stop the buring	45secs	17secs	11secs	4secs

Conclustion: 

I can conclude that milk was the best at stopping the hot feeling. The waterwas the least effective ( in my opinoin)

Disscussion: 

Why does does chilli burn your mouth and why does milk stop it? 

- Because of the capsaicin tricking your brain that your on fire

- Because of the oli and the fat.=
