For art we have been learning about logos and positive and negative space. We had to get some logos in black and white and say why we liked them we had to get 6-10 logos of different places or pictures then put them on a doc or a slide then describe them like what type of logo they are.

For science this term we have been learning about taste and smell. We had to go in groups and try different types of food. The first week we did Taste and the second we did smell. Are aim was to see if we could guess the food buy the taste of it.
For the smell one we had to block are nose to see if we could guess what fruit it was without smelling it. We had to get our fruit then have one person in the group close there eyes and block there nose and then the other person would pick a fruit and put it in there had then the person trying the fruit would guess what it was and then do it all over again with a different peace of food.
For the taste one all you had to do was close your eyes well the other person puts it in you hand once you put the food in your mouth you were allowed to open your eyes and try and guess my Group did okay with this but we did get a few wrong the easiest one two guess was the orange flavor. Once we had finished doing all the other activities with a group we had to do one by our self we had to try and guess which side of the tongue is Sweet, Sour, Salty and bitter. It was really hard to figure out what part of your tongue was which but i did it in the end.
We had to put baking powder,Salt,Sugar and citric acid. All the taste and smell experiments have been all really fun.
For wananga we have been learning about Neuralink. We had to writ a sexy paragraph about it. Before we did we got to watch some videos on YouTube about what it is one of the videos we saw was about a monkey with Neuralink playing ping pong without the control. heres what I wrote.
Neuralink is a chip that has been made to go in the human brain so we can control computers and other technology. If you got the chip you would be able to control computers,cars,ETC. There is a video on YouTube that shows them testing it on a monkey Playing pong on the computer after the monkey had played with the controller they unplugged it. When Neuralink is put into your brain you will be able to control computers without using a mouse or whatever you would just have to think of what you wanted or what you were going to do and you would do it without moving. Say you were playing a game you would be able to move your character around without moving anything. I think Neuralink could be both good and bad for my opinion. I'm more on the bad side but it can still be good. For people who have like a fake leg or arm it would probably be good for them because they could control it better. But for me I wouldn't get it mainly because I work fine and I don't need to get it and if I did I would use the internet way to much and not get anything done
For Science we were doing Pocket Rocket. To do the pocket rocket you have to have a little container,Baking soda and vinegar. When the Baking soda and the vinegar and when they mixed they made a chemical that made it pop the lid of. To start you need to get the right measurements of vinegar(8ml) and baking soda(1/2 a teaspoon) then you put either one in first and then the other one then you had to quickly close the lid and walk away and see if it worked if it doesn't then you can still do it again without cleaning the container. Gemeve and I were in a group together and our one didn't work very well every time we tried it didn't work but we still had fun.
