It Could Happen

It could happen

Overnight the world turnt violet even hershey's chocolate bars, skittles and m&m’s all except for a bird that stayed it’s colour blue. People were shocked and they all wanted to capture the blue bird and put it in a cage. Scientist did test on the blue birds feathers to figure out why the blue bird did not change its colours, but no one knew and it was hard to explain. The next day, the world changed yellow then from yellow it changed orange and pink until the fifth year, the world changed blue and the blue bird stayed that colour. On occasions, people wondered where the bluebird was and where it had gone but what the people really wondered was if he was still the colour blue and what this had all meant.

facts About the Dendrogramm

This specie is one of the most weird and wondrous fascinating sea specie on earth and what really wow’s me is that according to the scientist, this is one of the 10 most weird life forms recently found here on earth!

This sea creature is called a Dendrogramma Enigmatica and it kind of looks like a mushroom but in jelly form. This creature is in Jelly form because it has a dense layer of jelly like material betweens it’s outer skin and inner stomach cell layers.Their stalk is about 7.8 mm in length and cap about 11 mm. The top of the specie ( the part that looks like a mushroom top ) is called a disc and that disc has little stalks inside of it.

The Dendrogramm

Where do they eat and What do they eat? from the bottom or the top? Well, at the end of its stalk is called a mouth field and in that mouth field is lobes and that is where they gobble up their food I guess.They eat Plankton, Crustaceans, Fish eggs, Small Fish and Jelly fish. They live in the South East of Australia and they were collected at water depths of 400 meter. They are also a taxonomic genus. These little species are also known as members of the Dendrogram Mantidae family.

Making my paper chain

WALT: 1. Write a recount.

2. Integrate maths and writing

Making my paper chain

On Tuesday morning in class, I was told to make a chain and to try and make it long. We did this to help us to have an understanding of estimation. We had to buddy up with someone so I was with yazmin. We were making chains to estimate how long we could make it.

First, we got given two sheets of A5 paper. They were christmas colours. Red and Green. Then yazmin and I estimated how long we thought our chain would be and we thought that it would be one meter. Then we decided on what pattern we would do and how we would cut it. We choose to go red, green,red,green and we choose to cut the paper lengthwise then cut it in half to have heaps of strips.

Next, we cut the paper into small strips and we made sure that each strip was six mm. After that, we glued the end of the strips together to create a chain.

Thereafter, I  measured how long our chain was and surprisingly, our chain was three meters and 4 cm. So it was longer than we expected it to be.

Finally, In my book I recorded how long our chain was and I made comparisons with my chain and Samuel and Munokoa’s chain and their’s was longer as it was three hundred and twenty cm.

In conclusion, I compared mine to other students chains and to do that, I put my chain next to some other students one to see if mine was longer but my chain was only longer than eight students chains and only two students and their buddies chain was longer than mine. If I had to do this exercise without cutting the paper with scissors, I could of ripped the paper or use the ruler to cut the paper. From this exercise I learnt about sizes and estimation.

Length of our chains

Length of our Chains

WALT:  1. Arrange length in order.

            2. Find mean, median, mode and range.

            3. explain the difference in length.

Pairs	Length of Chain in centimetres
Viliami and Howard	383
Munokoa and Samuel	320
Petuana and yazmin	304
Stephanie and Cherish	286
ketura and Serena	220
Andrea and Lana	200
Alyssa and Shanelle	192
Ifa and tane	192
Lorenzo and Liam	170
Wesely and Koliata	169
Ben and Dion	86

The mean is 229.3

The median is 200

The mode is 192

The range is 297

I think that Viliami and Howard's chain is 383cm because of how thin that they cut their strips  and because they probably use length side than the width side. They did that to have more strips of paper too. I also  think that Ben and Dion's chain is big and short because they cut their strips to thick and their strips ended up being too big.
