Tokyo 2020 Olympics Task board

 In wananga, we had to learn and create something about the Olympics and the Paralympics.

I made two logos for the Olympics and the Paralympics.

Effect of Heat

Contraction

What was happening to the water on the bunsen burner?

The water in the can was boiling because of the heat from the bunsen burner. The can didn’t implode because we didn't do the experiment correctly.

What happened to the water particles when we put them in the ice cream container?

The particles of the warm water and cold water combined the concentration of the two different temperatures mixed.

Expansion

When the teacher lit the bunsen burner we put the ball on the heat of the bunsen burner then the ball started to expand,(before the ball could fit inside of the hoop) then we put it back in the hoop but it didn't go in because it expanded then we put it back in the sink so it will go back to its normal size.

Conduction: When our teacher lit the bunsen burner our first pin dropped at 1 second, the heat of the flame was making the metal rod go up instead of down. The vibrations in the vaseline from the heat of the flame was making the pin drop off at different times. 

Convection in liquid: The crystal particles diffused in the water. At first, the crystals were concentrated, then they combined into the water. The hot water was faster because the hot water combing quicker into the crystal because cold water takes longer for things to dissolve. But all the crystals didn't dissolve in the hot water either. The heat of the water combing with the crystal so it would colour the water.

Convection: We opened up a tea bag and put the tea leaves and tipped it on the table then lit the tea bag paper on fire and then the tea bag started to rise and float away. It rose because heat rise and the tea bag was on fire

Persuasive Writing

Several researchers have attempted to investigate the psychological impacts of Internet use. Some studies look into the brain functions of Internet users. Some studies claim that these alterations are dangerous, while others claim that they are advantageous. Nicholas Carr, an American writer, claims that using the Internet reduces the deep thought that leads to actual creativity. He also claims that because of hyperlinks and overstimulation, the brain is forced to focus on short-term decisions. Carr also claims that the tremendous amount of information available on the Internet overwhelms the brain and impairs long-term memory. He claims that the accessibility.

Internet users, according to computer scientist Ramesh Sitaraman, are impatient and are expected to become more so over time. Consumers quit online movies if they do not begin playing within two seconds, according to Krishnan and Sitaraman, who conducted a large-scale research study. In 2012 involving millions of users watching videos on the Internet. Furthermore, people with faster Internet connections (such as FTTH) exhibited less patience and abandoned films at a higher rate than those with slower Internet connections. Many observers have since suggested that these findings hint in the future: as Internet services become quicker and deliver more instant gratification, people will become less patient and less able to wait. Psychologist Steven Pinker, on the other hand, believes that humans have control over their actions and that study and thinking are not inherent to them. He claims that "experience does not upgrade the brain's basic information-processing capacities," and that the Internet is making people smarter.

The impact of social networking on productivity is one of the most hotly discussed aspects of the phenomenon. Social media sites are restricted in many schools and workplaces because businesses worry their employees will become distracted and unfocused while using them. Employers, at least according to one study, have good reason to be concerned. According to a Hearse Communications survey, productivity is on the rise. According to a study, accessing the Internet can help middle-aged and older persons improve their mental power (Research on younger people has not been done.). The researchers compared brain activity between people who were reading and those who were surfing the web. It was discovered that surfing the internet utilizes substantially more brain activity than reading.

Excessive computer use that interferes with daily living causes people to become hooked or dependent on the Internet. Internet addiction illness is linked to existing mental health concerns, most commonly depression, according to Kimberly S. Young. According to Young, the condition has major social, psychological, and occupational consequences. According to a 2009 study, people who were classed as Internet addicts had brains anatomical alterations identical to those who were labelled as drug addicts.
