Quick task - Locate and take a photo of an object in our school -
The Dacrydium cupressinum tree!
A Dacrydium cupressinum tree, commonly known as a Rimu Tree is a unique tree endemic to the lush forests of New Zealand. This tall tree can grow up to 50m or 165ft which is incredible compared to other New Zealand's native trees. Young rimu trees have bright olive-green weeping branches but as it matures this changes into drooping branches. Rimu trees can also live up to an astounding amount of around 500 to 600 years which makes it really old and ancient.
The photo of the Rimu tree shows its maturity through its drooping branches.

Candle Observation
In our science class, my partner Faith and I did an experience that included heat energy. Each table were given a candle, matches and a wet table cloth. First we wiped the table with the wet table cloth so that there won’t be any stains on the table if the candle tips over. Then we lit the candle away from our body so that we won’t burn ourselves. We had to observe the colours and the heat that came out from the flame that was lit.

Technicraft - Science
Today In science my Partner Rhonda & I Experienced a lot of things but I discovered a greater task I understand and that was the candles. In this task the keywords that we used were Transparent, Opaque, Translucent. These following words meant: for example transparent is a window you can see straight through. Opaque is something that you can not see through it is completely unseeable. Translucent is not quite transparent so looking through something it would be blurry. First the safety instructions were given and then we could begin the task. In this observation we compared the burner to the original candle and raised our hands above both candles to see which may be hotter from experiencing that the burner was a lot more hotter than the normal candle.
