Treaties between the US and American Indians

 Today in class, I have been learning about a treaty between the US and the American Indians. The treaty I chose was the Treaty With the Delaware's/Treaty of Fort Pitt.  I have decided to do a google slide to demonstrate my learning I also added some very quick animations to my slide to make my work stand out more. Enjoy!

Volcano project

 Aim: Is to make a functional and realistic volcano


Team: Lincoln, Chris and Tobey

Method750ml Water Bottle, scrunch up balls of paper dipped in PVA glue to shape the volcano then add strips of paper on top, make it smooth and then paint it. Our goal is to make it resemble Olympus Mons on Mars.

ResearchOur volcano is on the planet Mars, the reason why we chose it is because it is the biggest volcano in our solar system, it erupted twenty-five million years ago. The volcano is a shield volcano so the magma slowly flows up and flows down the sides of the volcano.

Results: 




Discussion: The difference between lava and magma

Lava: is magma that reaches the surface of our planet through a volcano vent.

Magma: is composed of molten rock and is stored in the Earth's crust

How do volcanos form?
By two tectonic plates crashing together and then one going up. Since magma is under the earth's crust it rises through the volcano becoming lava.


Conclusion: Our volcano eruption worked successfully but it wasn't all that good for me. Next time, I would try to do something more different and try to figure out what makes it erupt better. I found out that the elephant toothpaste is about 100 degrees celsius when the reaction is happening/happened.

Population graph Social Studies

 


What was this graph about?

This graph is about the population of the European and maori in Aotearoa.


Why did you think the number of Maori changed?

Because the dieases that got introduced that we're killing them while also they're food source getting cut off.


Why did you think the number of Eurpoean changed?

The land was sold to the europeans which were leading them to Aotearoa.
