Anaerobic Respiration

Aim: To demonstrate the effects of anaerobic respiration (muscle fatigue)

Hypothesis:  I predict my fingers will get tired after about 10 seconds

Equipment: A spring-loaded clothes peg

Method: 1. Hold the clothes peg as shown in the diagram
              2. Relax your fingers so that the peg closes all the way
              3. Squeeze your thumb and forefinger so the peg is fully open
              4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as quickly as you can until you experience muscle fatigue

Results/Observations: I got 41 secs until my arm began to get sore

Conclusion/Discussion: I had the peg in between my fingers squeezing it to open and shut. My hypothesis was wrong as I made it over 30 seconds longer than what I had originally predicted.

Evaluation: I could maybe changed my technique some how

Tarzan



"Two Worlds, One Family"- What this means to you.
i believe people who come from different cultural backgrounds can get along with each other.

“A message from the movie Tarzan is Family is not determined by blood”
“This is because no matter where you come from, your DNA doesn’t determine who or where you belong.
“We saw this in the scene where Kala first found Tarzan as a baby and Kerchak didn’t want anything to do with him.
“This is why I think it is important to give people a chance no matter the difference between them.
It makes me think about why people judge others about their backgrounds compared to their families if they are adopted.

In an ideal world I would want people to stop judging others by their cultures or something like that.

Social Studies

In Social Studies, my group and I are working on human rights. We have learnt so many new things, for example there are that many human rights no one can remember all of them.


The most interesting thing I learned, was that one persons word can change how people treat others as an influence. Our work is about human rights and how it impacts us. It links to our story we are reading in class, the story of Iqbal.
