Medicine and Health issues assessment

Hello readers,

Today, I am going to tell you what I have been doing in health for the last few days. this post is about asthma and what we have been learning like CAM, WSM, and TM and they mean (WSM) means Western scientific medicine (CAM), which means Complementary and alternative medicine, and (TM), which means Traditional Maori Medicine. here is my work just click on the link.

climate change

what is climate change?

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.

What is causing climate change/global warming?

As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun’s heat. This leads to global warming and climate change. The world is now warming faster than at any point in recorded history. Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature. This poses many risks to human beings and all other forms of life on Earth.

In 2019, the “School Strike 4 Climate” movement started in Aotearoa. Is it still continuing today?

Because climate change and global warming are worldwide, their impacts are/will also be seen in Aotearoa. Some of these effects include Disease: Increased temp and rain could mean more pests and diseases can survive and reproduce in NZ. This could have a big impact on NZ agriculture and native wildlife. Weather patterns: Changes in regional and seasonal weather including more storm events (e.g tropical cyclones). Is NZ built to withstand this? Sea-level rise: Could affect coastal towns. NZ is especially vulnerable because we’re a relatively small island country. Rainfall: More frequent and intense rainfall expected = more floods/flash floods.

Agriculture: Climate changes could affect crops in some areas. Other consequences will also affect agriculture.

how to play pickleball

the net is 34 inches in the middle and 36 inches for the sideline.

you have to use a pickleball bat and a ball

 

Serve the ball underhand from behind the baseline, diagonally to the other side of the court.

Bounce Rule: Let the ball bounce once on each side after the serve before you can hit it in the air (volley).

Kitchen Rule: Don’t hit the ball out of the air (volley) while standing in the 7-foot zone near the net (called the kitchen).

Scoring: Only the serving team can score points. Games are usually played to 11 points, and you must win by 2 points.

Faults: If you hit the ball out of bounds, into the net, or violate the kitchen rule, it’s a fault. When the serving team faults, the serve goes to the opponent.

In doubles, both players on the serving team take turns serving before giving the serve to the other team.

 

Making Universal Indicator´s

  1. Aim: why did we try to make a Universal Indicator?

 

  1. Equipment: beaker test tubes pipets hot plates tea bags base and acid

 

  1. Method: we put the tea bags into the beaker and then we put hot water into the beaker, put it on the hot plate then turned the hot plate on, and waited for it to boil. Then we got a pipet and put some of the tea water into a test tube and put some base and acid into it to see what it would do. 

 

  1. Results:

  1. Discussion: starting discussion questions (you can include more detail)
    • My indicator turned out to be dark orange and light orange
    • They changed color because of the hydrogen ions when we put acid into it, it went light orange and when we put base into it, it went dark orange.
    • Some were better than others since if I had a thing that I wanted to know if it was acidic or basic I would try it with cabbage 

 

  1. Conclusion: starting conclusion questions (you can include more detail)
    • All of the experiments worked? 
    • I could improve it by doing more work and helping out.
    • add all of the other results to the table.

PH scale

 

Aim: why did we experiment?

 

Equipment: spotting tiles pipettes universal indicator litmus paper

 

Method:

  1. we put some acidic and basic stuff in the spotting tiles 
  2. put some universal indicators in them

 

Results:

 

Discussion: because if the fluid changed to red it had more acid than base if the fluid changed to green then it had half and half and if the fluid changed to a purple-blue colour then it had more base. I know that these chemicals are acidic or basic because of the color of the pH scale.

 

Conclusion: I did not do the work because I was not feeling well then. I could have improved by doing the work, so then I would know what to do next time we have to learn about the pH scale. 

Model atoms

Aim: To learn about the stretcher of an atom.

Equipment: paper, scissors, tape, string, beads

Method: we grabbed paper scissors string tape and beads, we cut out Circles with the paper and scissors two of them didn’t have a center and one does put little holes in the top and bottom of the circles and put string throw it. put beads on it the amount that the atom has.

Results:

Discussion: there are 10 protons in neon 10 electrons and 10 neutrons, you can find these particles in the atom in the center and on the outside of the atom, the atomic number is 10 and the mass number is 20.1, the mass number is t=how many protons and electrons there are, it can pass thow water fog, the same element with different neutron number

Conclusion: it did work and I would not do anything different.

wind racer

Aim: Today I wanted to find out how to build a wind racer and how to calculate how far it goes from meters to meters a second.

Equipment:

  1. wind racerbase
  2. plastic bag
  3. bamboo stick
  4. leaf blower

method:

we put a plastic bag over the bamboo stick then we put the bamboo stick onto the wind racer base, and then we went outside the next time we had science and used a leaf blower to push the land yot along the ground and to see how far it goes my groups one went 0.5 meters in 5 seconds.

Results:

My wind racer went 0.5 meters in 5 seconds and I calculated it to be 0.1 meters a second so every second it went 0.1 meters.

Discussion:

some forces acting on my wind racer are drag thrust gravity, and the forces are unbalanced. the net
