Science Road Show

On Monday 20th of July The Fonterra Science Roadshow came to Pukekohe Intermediate to show their skill in science. Their first presentation was about Carbon Dioxide and how it affected the Earth.

The Science Roadshow team filled up a balloon with Carbon Dioxide, we all had to block our ears as Andrew lit the balloon and it exploded straight away. It was very loud. The second presentation was about sound. We learnt about pitch, frequency and amplitude. They showed us how we can see sound using a fire and a speaker. As the speaker got higher the fire got lower. There were over 20 exhibits to look at after the show.

The Science Roadshow was very cool.

Orienteering

Quite a while ago a few Pukekohe Intermediate School students went to Zone Orienteering and then went to Inter-zone this included me. For Zone we went to Totara Park in Manurewa and Inter-zone we went to Reeves farm in Patamahoe. It was very muddy at Orienteering. The Year 8 boys came 2nd at Zone and 4th at Inter-zone. It was very fun.

Environmental Sustainability

On day 4 Room 23 has Environmental Sustainability lessons with Mrs Nicholson.
We do lots of different activities including cutting apples into pieces to show which parts of the Earth are sustainability and drawing life cycles of natural objects
We learn about our world and how to sustain it.
The lessons are interesting and fun. Mrs Nicholson is a great teacher to work with. She helpful and kind.
