Music through the decades
I have been researching up different bands and music so I hope you like it
The 1960s
Roots rock emerged in the mid to late 1960s as a combination of several genres and subgenres of rock music that were popular at the time. Roots rock combined elements of folk music, blues, country, and rock 'n' roll. And, the genre was exemplified by its "back to basics" sound’
The Marvelettes - Please Mr. Postman (1961)
Then He Kissed Me - The Crystals
Jackie Wilson - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher (Best Quality)
The 1970s
Music listeners had dozens of genres to choose from and many of them rose to popularity at different points during the decade. Funk, Soul, R&B, Pop, Hard Rock, Soft Rock and Disco all carved out their place in the music world in the 1970s. The late 70s also witness the birth of another young music style: hip-hop.
The 1980s
The 1980s saw the emergence of dance music and new wave. As disco fell out of fashion in the decade's early years, genres such as post-disco, Italo disco, Euro disco, and dance-pop became more popular. Rock music continued to enjoy a wide audience.
The 1990s
The musical era of the 1990s was one filled with a variety of pop, rap, and alternative music artists as well as a plethora of one-hit wonders. ... The early years of the 1990s began with a surge in popularity for music genres like techno (often called a dance or house music) and hip-hop that continued throughout the decade.
The 2000s
Hip hop music achieved mainstream status after the 1990s and the deaths of many prominent artists such as 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. ... Electronic music was also popular throughout the decade; at the beginning of the 2000s, genres such as trance, chillout, house, indietronica, and Eurodance (in Europe) were popular
The 2010s
Trap music is a style of Southern hip hop and gangsta rap that was developed in the late 1990s to early 2000s in the Southern United States. ... The term "trap" referred to places where drug deals take place. In the 2010s artists crossbred trap with dubstep to create trap EDM. It also influenced Latin trap music’s

Definition for instruments
Woodwind
The woodwind instrument is an instrument that you do with your mouth and sometimes you do it with your fingers this instrument is the best instrument you can do with your mouth.
Brass
This instrument is like a woodwind but except this is bigger and harder this instrument is more useful and it can do more things all what you do is blow into it brass is using your air and your fingers just like woodwind
String
This instrument is like vibrating the strings on it the strings are in it to produce the sound this instrument is more useful this instrument can be used I always kinds of songs.
Percussion
This instrument can be used by using your hand foot all kinds of things this instrument is more like a drum but this is more like an eco sound and drum.

Solar Energy
Catching the sun movie
Materials:
- Cups x4
- Water
- Tin foil
- 2 sheets of water paper
- 1 sheet of black paper
- Thermometer
- 1 large cup
- 2 heat lamp
Steps
- Get all the materials needed.
- Fill the small cups up with water.
- Put the cups on the respected place.
- Put the large cup on one of the small cups that is on white paper.
- Get the heat lamps and shine it on the cups.
- Wait till a time then measure the heat of the water.
Which surface conducts / attracts the most heat?
Findings:
That findings that I have is that some cups temperature went up after the heat lamps were taken away. I think that it did that is because the room was closed in and we were talking and it heated the temperature.
Conclusion:
My conclusion is that some water heat was different than others. Because of the material that some were on. Also the room that our cups were in was closed off. Also we were in the room so the heat of our breath had an affect on the temperatures. So I do not know if this is a precise recording.

Drama
Drama - Week 6
In drama this week we did a lot of this. Firstly we learnt a little bit about puberty, and the changes we have to go through. We learnt about the scientific names of each part of the body and the menstruation cycle.
We practice our voice and doing different tough twisters. We also looked at slam poetry and chorus work. Then we got our poems and practice performing them. Later we performed them in front of the class.

Weather and Climate Change
Measuring weather.
Wind
| Beaufort Force | Wind Speed (KPH) | Spins | Indicators | Terms Used in NWS Forecasts |
| 0 | 0-2 | 0 | Calm; smoke rises vertically. | Calm |
| 1 | 2-5 | 10 | Shown by the direction of wind smoke drift, but not by wind vanes. | Light |
| 2 | 6-12 | 40 | The wind felt on face, leaves rustle; ordinary vanes moved by wind. | Light |
| 3 | 13-20 | 80 | Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag. | Gentle |
| 4 | 21-29 | 130 | Raises dust and lose paper; small branches are moved. | Moderate |
| 5 | 30-39 | 190 | Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters. | Fresh |
| 6 | 40-50 | 250 | Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telephone wires; umbrellas used with difficulty. | Strong |
| 7 | 51-61 | 320 | Whole trees in motion; inconvenience felt walking against the wind. | Strong |
| 8 | 62-74 | 390 | Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress. | Gale |
| 9 | 75-87 | 470 | Slight structural damage. | Gale |
| 10 | 88-101 | 550 | Seldom experienced inland; trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs. | Whole gale |
| 11 | 102-116 | 640 | Very rarely experienced inland; accompanied by widespread damage. | Whole gale |
| 12 | 117 or more | 730+ | Very rarely experienced; accompanied by widespread damage. | Hurricane |
Wind speed - Making an anemometer.
MATERIALS
1. 4 straws
2. 4 Styrofoam cups
3. A pin
4. A pencil
5. Tape
STEPS
1. Tape 2 straws together then do that again.
2. The pin the straws into the pin.
3. Next put the pin into the rubber of the pencil.
4. After put to hole on each side of the Styrofoam cups.
5. Then put the straws into the holes of the cups.
6. The blow the cups and see it spin.
Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.
Group size: 3
You will need:
Anemometer (above)
Roles:
- Timekeeper Chloe
- Counter Chloe
- Recorder Makaea
- Anemometer Manager Shontae
- Wind generator Shontae
- Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
- When the time keeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
- If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.
FINDINGS
- Record how many times it spins using the table below.
You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.
You will need to time them and count the number of spins.
| Time Interval | Number of Spins | |
| 1. | 10 | 8 |
| 2. | 10 | 7 |
| 3. | 10 | 4 |
| 4. | 10 | 5 |
- Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind?
CONCLUSION:
My conclusion is that our anemometer was not as good as real anemometers. Also that the wind today was very calm and not ruff. Our anemometer did not work very well.

biomass
From Trash to Gas: Biomass - Investigation
Biomass Fuel types.
Name Agricultural crops and wood fuels.
Definition:
Agricultural crops: A crop is usually expanded to include macroscopic fungus.
Wood Fuels: Wood fuel is the largest use of energy derived from solid fuel biomass.
Research:
Agricultural crops: Agricultural crops are just like straws with bark.
Wood Fuel: Using wood as a renewable source of energy has the potential to deliver considerable social and economic benefits as well as mitigate climate change.
Uses:
Agricultural crops: provides most of the world's food and fabrics.
Image:
Name Animal waste.
Definition:
Animal waste is mostly known as animal manure. But also animal waste can be considered as hay, straw and wood shavings.
Research:
The removal of metabolic waste products from the body of an organism is known as excretion. The major excretory products are carbon dioxide, excess water, and nitrogenous compounds like ammonia, urea, uric acid, etc. Carbon dioxide and water are produced in the process of tissue respiration.
Uses:
Cow manure is the resource to generate renewable energy. The manure is collected and heated, creating the natural byproduct of methane gas. Image:
Name: Biogas
Definition:
Gaseous fuel, especially methane, produced by the fermentation of organic matter.
Gaseous fuel, especially methane, produced by the fermentation of organic matter.
Research:
Biogas is a mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste.
Uses:
Bio gases a renewable energy source.
Bio gases a renewable energy source.
Image:
Name: Bio fuels
Definition:
A fuel derived immediately from living matter.
Research:
Biofuels can also include solid fuels like wood pellets and biogas or syngas. There are two main types of biofuels. Ethanol and bio diesel. The simplest way to distinguish between the two is to remember ethanol is an alcohol and biodiesel is an oil.
Uses:
It can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form but it is usually used as a diesel.
