What is science? Hi, I’m Emerald Robinson and in this’ what is?’ video we are going to try and pinpoint an answer to the question, what is science? Science can be defined as the process of observing and questioning the world around us. We also sometimes call it things we learn through experimentation, science. In fact, the term science itself comes from the Latin word that means knowledge and the names of many branches of science end with -ology which means ‘study of’ in Greek.  Scientists aim to gain new knowledge through a disciplined set of steps called The Scientific Method. The Scientific Method consists of asking a question, proposing a possible solution called a hypothesis. Testing the hypothesis through a series of experiments, examining the results of the experiments to see if the hypothesis has been supported or refuted and then proposing a new question or a new hypothesis.  Scientists can specialise in one of hundreds of different fields all which focus on different types of knowledge. For example, Physical Sciences like chemistry and physics examine the laws of nature. They are considered the fundamental sciences because everything in the universe obeys these natural laws. Astronomers, physicists and engineers study  physical sciences. Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Marie Curie were physical scientists.  Scientists in life sciences like evolution, microbiology and zoology study anything living. Medicine is also considered to be a life science. Charles Darwin and Rachel Carson are two well known biologists.  Social scientists, who take jobs in fields such as psychology, sociology and anthropology, study humans and human behaviour. Sigmund Freud and Margaret Mead were both social scientists. Science never ends. Everyday scientists make new discoveries and answer new questions but there are always new mysteries to uncover and problems to solve.

Immersion Assembly - Something in the Water.

Something in the Water.

The holidays were over and it was time for another term of school. We arrived at school and the school bell rang just then, and it was time for Immersion Assembly. Team 5 lined up outside and Room 3 was in the front row today.  For this terms korero is based on the ocean and sea life, the theme was  Something in the Water. While we were having the assembly, Mr. Burt, Mr. Sommervill, and Mrs. Tele’ a were cooking some fish and prawns from the sea. Some of the students could have some seafood after it was finished cooking, but if they were sitting up and smiling the prefects can come and give either a prawn or fish to you.

Finally it was time for the teachers to show there video’s what they are doing for the term. Team 1 was doing SOFA again like last term but this time it was about sea animals. Each animal they see they take a picture of it and name what it was.

 Next, it was Team 2 and they went for a walk down to  Tahuna Torea Reserve, they were looking at all the different things that they could see. The teachers also looked at the ducks and they got to feed them some bread.

After that was Team 3, what they had done is that they were trying to find a good animal to look after the sea. They went through all these animals and couldn't find any, but in the end, a nice fish came along. So they found them an animal that is caring and that could look after the sea.

It was time for Team 4 and they were searching for different animals that they could find on the beach. Also, they had to see what they could do and in the end, each teacher had a swim in the water.

Last but not least Team 5 and they did a performance on the stage instead of a video. So what they did was that each teacher had cardboard in their hand, it had the words DNA, GENE, CELLS, NUCLEUS, CHROMOSOME. Together that sang a song all about the different things in a cell and they all had beautiful voices.

Assembly was over and it was time to go back to class and start another term of learning.

Task Description: This is my writing about the Immersion Assembly that we had on Monday and it was all about the ocean and sea animals. All the teams had done such great things for there movie showing what they are going to be doing for the term. Each movie was fantastic and very cool, make sure to read what each team did. Hope you enjoy reading my writing about the amazing assembly we had.
