My experiment today was to get a pencil, water and A clear glass or jar.
I had to fill the glass half way with water then I placed the pencil in the glass. When I looked at the pencil at the top of the glass the pencil appeared bent as seen on photo 1.

Then when I looked at the pencil from the side of the glass it had a different effect. I could see two pencil's as you also can see on photo 2.
What happens when you look at a pencil through the side of the glass? Light play's tricks on your eyes. The pencil looks bent. This is because light travels slower through water than through air. As the light enters the glass of water it slows down (changes direction) and as it leaves the glass it speeds up again- therefore making the pencil look as though it is bent! Pretty cool eh!!

My science expriment about
How to make rain.

Today I made rain and these are the steps on how to do it.


step.1 Get a flat plate

step.2 Get some gloves

step.3 Boil the jug

step.While the jug is boiling put the plate above the jug and when the jug stops boiling you will see that little drops of water is there.



The way that rain works is when its a really hot day the heat goes up to the clouds in the sky. When this happens it creates moisture in the clouds.Which becomes rain.

Who is God?

23/1/2011


My mum asked me to do an assignment of my own choice. So I decided to write about God, Let us start with this question.Who is God?

We all know that God is the creator of all things. In Revelation 15:3 it says just near the ending of verse three that God is the “king of eternity”. And we know that he is our sourse of life as well.

What is God like?

God is a spirit that is why no one in this world has never seen him. We can all see his personality just by the things he has revealed, like all the beautiful things. For example look at the magnificent flowers and trees that are beautiful in their own way. And look at the variety of beautiful animals unique in their own way. In Romans 1:20 it reads there that “that God has eternal power.” We can also learn a lot about God from the Bible. For example in the Bible it talks about what God likes and what he does not like, how he treats people and how he reacts in situations as well.

Does God Have A Name?

In Matthew 6:9 it says “Let Gods name be sanctified.” Even though God has many names , he has only one name. In every type of language his name is pronounced differently. In English we say “Jehovah” , or at times “Yahweh.” In Psalm 83:18 it says, “That people may know that you whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the most high over all the earth.” In many Bibles Gods name has been taken out of heaps of Bibles and replaced with lord or God. When the Bible was written it had Gods name in it 7000 times! The great teacher made Gods name known every where. When he was preaching he would use the Bible and show Gods name in it.

Does Jehovah care about us?

Jehovah shows interest in us by listening to our prayers. Some people think that God makes us suffer just to test us, but that is not true at all. The Bible says in Job 34:10 “Far be it from the true God to act wickedly.” God has given people the honour of making our own choices in life. Are we not grateful for the freedom to choose to serve God? Suffering happens a lot of the time because many people choose to do hurtful things to others. In the eyes of Jehovah it hurts him to see such badness happening around the world. Shortly Jehovah will give Jesus the task to get rid of suffering and those who make it happen. For now, we know that Jehovah has a good reason to allow suffering for a short time. We can be happy because there will be a day without suffering. Isn’t that wonderful!


What does God want us to do?

God made people with the ability to help us to understand and love him. He wants all of us to learn about him. If we come to know about the bible we can come to be Jehovah’s friend. Since God gave us all life, we should love him more than anyone in this world. In Mark 12:30 it says “ you must love Jehovah with your whole heart with your whole mind with your whole soul and with your whole strength.” So it says there that we should all love Jehovah. We all can show that we love him by talking to him in our prayer and by doing what he wants us to do. Jehovah wants all of us to treat each other with love and respect.

Aboriginal Art - School Assignment











Our Trip To The Aboriginal Cave




A few months ago my friends and I went to this amazing Aboriginal
cave. After 12.oo o'clock we started driving out of our town.It took an hour but we got there an hour later. When we got there we started walking everyone got prickles ouch!We all kept walking for 1 more hour until we stoped at a really big and wide
tank. So we took a break and then walked up the hill. It was amazing one picture
of a rainbow serpent (snake) a few pictures of little and big people sprits
after that we all climbed up and above the cave and it was so so cool!
you could see lots of trees and on the other side there was a burnt tree
that was in two halfs. Then we climbed down to the cave took another
look and climbed down on the way down I sliped twice but we
made it down and to the cars had something to eat and drove
home before it got really dark.








ABOUT ABORIGINAL ART
I learnt that Aboriginal paintings are the same as those found on cave paintings and rock engravings that were executed many of years ago.
The art designs vary greatly in style from one area to another, from the art of Far North Queensland with it's bark paintings, to the 'dot' or 'sand'paintings of the deserts of Central Australia.
The 'Dot paintings' are stories that were drawn in the sand to teach the culture and impart the traditional ways of the aboriginal people to their young - it is their 'language', and tells of the time of the Dreaming when the Ancestors roamed the countryside shaping the country into what we see today.
Central Western Desert Painting

This time is also called the Dreamtime, when the Rainbow Serpent moved across the land and the Wandjina were active in the clouds and skies. The Dreaming, as well as answering questions about origins, provides a united framework for human experience in the universe - and the place of all living things within it.




Aboriginals see themselves as part of nature. We see all things natural as part of us. All the things on Earth we see as part human. This is told through the ideas of dreaming. By dreaming we mean the belief that long ago, these creatures started human society. These creatures, these great creatures are just as much alive today as they were in the beginning. They are everlasting and will never die. They are always part of the land and nature as we are. Our connection to all things natural is spiritual.



Aboriginal peoples living in different parts of Australia trace their origins directly from these great ancestral beings. When present-day Aboriginal people walk through their country, they are continually reminded of the presence of the creator beings. This happens not only through the features of the landscape but also through songs, paintings and ceremonies.

Traditional symbols are an important part of Aboriginal art. Aboriginal peoples have long artistic traditions within which they use conventional designs and symbols. These designs when applied to any surface, whether on the body of a person taking part in a ceremony or on a shield, have the power to transform the object to one with religious significance and power. Through the use of designs inherited from ancestors, artists continue their connections to country and the Dreaming.



For example, body decoration using ancestral designs is an important part of many ceremonies. In central Australia inherited designs are painted onto the face and body using ochres ground to a paste with water and applied in stripes or circles. The modern paintings of the Central and Western Desert incorporate many of these designs.
Aboriginal art can tell more complex stories. For example, a Water Dreaming painting might show a U shaped symbol for a man, sitting next to a circle or concentric circles representing a waterhole, and spiral lines showing running water. The painter is telling the story of the power of the water man to invoke rain. Further symbols will add to the depth of meaning.
The Use Of Dots
Dots are one of the conventional symbols widely used and for many non-Aboriginal people these are what give Central and Western Desert art its distinctive character. Dots may represent many things - including stars, sparks or burnt ground. The base or floor of any Aboriginal design or painting is the preparation of the earth, or the ancestor being's involvement with the earth.


Aboriginal artist Johnny Warangkula was the first to use dotting as the background for his paintings. Because of the brilliance of his work, other painters at Papunya (and later Yuendumu and other central desert communities) adopted his style and conventions.


Amongst the artists of the Central and Western Desert art movement of the last 30 years,JohnnyWarangkula was the first to use dotting as the background for his paintings. Because of the brilliance of his work, other painters at Papunya (and later Yuendumu and other central desert communities) adopted his style and conventions.

The distinct aboriginal art styles of each region reflect the traditional life, creation stories and surrounding environments.
Many Aboriginal communities have an open community art gallery or centre, where the Aboriginal artists, old and young, gather to create their art, tell a story and maintain the connection with traditional customs.
At some aboriginal art galleries and centres you can sit with the aboriginal artists, learn how they create the art and share their stories of tradition and creation of the landscapes.
Aboriginal art has become an important source of income for remote communities and you can buy directly from these galleries and centres.
The Aboriginal people of the Northern Territory invite you into their communities to learn their culture and discover their ancestral heritage through aboriginal art.


Aboriginal symbols are an essential part of a long artistic tradition in Australian Aboriginal Art and remain the visual form to retain and record significant information.

Aboriginal People used symbols to indicate a sacred site, the location of a waterhole and the means to get there, a place where animals inhabit and as a way to illustrate Dreamtime Stories.



Since Aboriginal People travelled vast distances across their country, significant information was recorded using symbols in regular ceremony. Sand painting andAwelye (body painting) ceremonies kept the symbols alive and remembered. Later, these symbols were transformed into a more permanent form using acrylic on canvas but the meanings behind the symbols remains the same.


Generally the symbols used by Aboriginal Artists are a variation of lines, circles or dots. Similar symbols can have multiple meanings and the elaborate combination of these can tell complex Aboriginal Dreamtime Stories Combining the stories the Aboriginal Artist tells about the painting with an understanding of the meaning behind the symbols, will lead to a greater appreciation of the work.

I hope you have enjoyed my assignment on Aboriginal Art as much as I did.

Tangrams Are Fun













14/9/2010

Tangrams

Tangrams are an ancient Chinese Puzzle. They are made up of diffent shapes ie: parralelagrams, triangles, squares, rectangles.


With Tangrams you can use your imagination and create objects using maths at the same time.
I learnt that 2 triangles the same size are called congruent.

You can make a trapezoid by folding a triangle shape. Fold the corner of the top of the triangle down to the bottom, cut and you are left with 1 small traingle and a trapazoid.A

Learning about Tangrams was fun. Here is some examples of what I made below out of the shapes.
