"Smaller quantities of food such as fish and birds were grilled on sticks over glowing embers. Birds might also be wrapped in clay, or fish in leaves, and placed on the embers."

"Since Māori did not make pottery, their only means of boiling food was to place a red-hot stone in a wooden bowl of liquid."

"Māori preserved large quantities of food, to save for leaner times or to trade with other tribes."

Sustainability

Lo-Understand what we are learning about this unit.Identify issues associated with the sustainability of whales.

7th of September 2017

Sustainability means-The ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level.


1.There are 19 different types of whale 


Blue whale-Aggressive hunting in the 1900s by whalers seeking whaleoil drove them to the brink of extinction. Between 1900 and the mid-1960s, some 360,000 blue whales were slaughtered. They finally came under protection with the 1966 International Whaling Commission, but they've managed only a minor recovery since then.


Fin whale-Recent surveys indicate that there are now fewer than 15,000 fin whales in the Southern Hemisphere and around 40,000 in the Northern Hemisphere. Classified as Endangered (EN A1d) on the 2010 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Rorquals have long been hunted for their meat, blubber, oil and baleen.


Sei whale-Like all whales, Sei Whales also suffer from commercial hunting and whaling. ... Sei Whales are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and the Endangered Species Act of 1973.


Humpback whale-By 18th century, the commercial value of Humpback whales increased and that made them a preferred target for hunters.


Bowhead whale-The bowhead whale's conservation status is listed as “least concern” overall, but some populations (such as near Greenland) are endangered. They have traditionally been hunted by commercial whalers until the last century for oil, meat, and baleen.

North atlantic right whale -The North-Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered of all large whales, with a long history of human exploitation and no signs of recovery despite protection from whaling since the 1930s. Northern right whale mother & calf (Eubalaena glacialis) off the Atlantic coast of Florida.

Being a specialist

Lo - Describe relevant information about choosen 8/31/17

A specialist in Eye Cancer




-Eye cancer

-This disease was discovered on December 12,2008

-Cancer Cancers affecting the retina usually occur in the choroid, a dense layer of blood vessels that supplies the retina. The choroid is sandwiched between the retina and the sclera (the outer white layer of the eye). Because the retina depends on the choroid for its support and half of its blood supply, damage to the choroid by a cancer is likely to affect vision.

-A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer that forms in the eyeball is called an intraocular (inside the eye) malignancy. Medical doctors who specialize in the diseases and function of the eye are called ophthalmologists or “eye MDs”.

-Other, rare cancers of the eye include: Conjunctival melanoma is a tumor of the conjunctiva, which is a membrane that lines the eyelid and eyeball. If it is not treated, it can spread to the lymph nodes, which are tiny, bean-shaped organs located throughout the body that fight disease.

-At high energy, protons can destroy cancer cells. Using radiation therapy to treat the tumor may result in some vision loss or other complications, so doctors may recommend other treatments first. However, treatment for eye cancer using radiation therapy is continually improving.

LO-Understand what the 5 senses and prepare for/carry out an experiment         8/24/17  & 8/25/17

Aim-To carry out what this experiment safely and fun with it plus by showing them what our senses could.


Equipments-Five Pennies,cups ,tables


Method-

1. Put a cup in front of your partner. It should be about 2 feet away from him or her.
2. Ask your partner to close one eye.
3. Hold one of the pennies in the air about 18 inches above the table. Move it around slowly.
4. Tell your partner that you'll drop the penny whenever he or she says, "Drop it!" The idea is for your partner — with one eye closed — to judge when the penny is over the cup so the penny will drop into the cup.
5. Give your partner five tries with one eye closed, then five tries with both eyes open. Which way worked best?

To be safe not to swallow the pennies
