The Christchurch Earthquake - Work In Progress

 Predictions

What I already know

- It was a really big earthquake

What I want to find out

- The death toll



1. Because it happened during the early hours of the morning, and most people were home, asleep.

2. 6659 people got injured in the earthquake

3. Liquefaction is Sand, water, and Mud all mixed together, and breaks up through the ground and brakes many things in it's road, including Roads, and underground pipes

4. 115 people were inside the CTV building collapsed

5. Massive, Huge, Giant

Videos

Biggest earthquake in NZ

30km west of the city at 4:30 in the morning

The breaking of rocks is what causes earthquake

The fault line broke both way ( North & West )

There were a lot of after shocks

The 6.3 was the earthquake that killed people

Force of the ground pushed the rocks up 40cm

The Pike River Mine Disaster

 What do I know?

- It happened in a mine

- People died

- The mine was called Pike River

What do I want to know?

- The death toll

- What caused this disaster

- Was it an accident 


1. The Pike River Mine was located in the West Coast of New Zealand
2. Built the mine in 2005 at started mining on November 2008
3.There were 31 miners inside the mine when it exploded 
4. 2 people escaped
5. It was to dangerous for humans
6. She promised to unseal the mine and reopen it but didn't do it

Video Facts
Survivors - Russell Smith & Daniel Rockhouse
Russell ducked behind the door of the loader to avoid the falling rocks
Another survivor recused and helped him escape 
Daniel's 21 yrs old brother didn't make it out
They don't know why the mine exploded
Russell couldn't breath and collapsed
He felt peaceful before he collapsed
Daniel is working in Australia 
Daniel's brother is named Ben
Shock waves and smoke made Daniel weak
Daniel lost connection with the outside world
Daniel took all his anger out on his dad when he was drunk saying it was his dad's fault for Ben's death
People blamed the corporation for death of the 29 men
Now Daniel has a wife named Tammy

Here are the 29 people who died




Reflection

We are learning about the Pike River Mine,

I showed my learning by putting facts onto a DLO

I am wondering if the bodies are skeletons now or anything else 

Looking back on my predictions I was correct about the mine and that people died

The Erebus Crash

 Predictions - 

What I think I know already?

- Plane Crash

- Everyone died

- Nov 29 1979

- Crashed into snow

What I think I'll find out

Why no one survived 

Why did it crash


1. The plane was heading Scott base, McMurdo Sound and Antarctica
2. Jim Collins and Greg Cassin
3. So that the passengers could have a better view
4. The pilot and co pilot weren't told about the course change, you couldn't tell the difference between land and sky
5. Nov 28th 1979 - 12:49 Pm

Videos
Flight 901
The flight was 10 - 12 hours
Captain Thomas James Collins
First Officer - Gregory Mark Cassin
15 Flight Attendants
Navigation didn't work as well in the 1970's   
 It was cloudy and snowy
45 mins stop for fuel in Christchurch
$359 per person
They go down 1,500 feet as they approach McMurdo
Mt Erebus 2nd highest volcano
The plane crashed and burned



We are learning about the Eberus Plane Crash,

I showed my learning by putting facts onto a DLO

I am wondering why the pilots didn't know the change in direction 

Looking back on my predictions I was correct about what it was and the date and time.

Mentos & Coke

 Aim - I want to find out what will happen when you drop mentos into a bottle of coke

Method

Equipment

- Mentos

- A bottle of coke

- Flat surface

Instructions 

1. Get your equipment

2. Remove the lid of coke

3. Put your bottle of coke on a flat surface

4. Pour the mentos into the coke and sees what happenes

Result

Here is what I would expect it to look like


Conclusion
I can conclude that adding mentos to a bottle of coke will make the coke fizz up and explode and liquid will shoot out of the bottle

Discussion
Coke is full of Carbon dioxide / CO2, when the mentos drops to the bottom it creates lots of bubbles on it's pitted surface on it's way up meaning the surface of the coke is cover in tiny and shallow holes. When gas is released it forces the liquid up and out of the bottle, resulting in the eruption.
