People affect by Chch earhquakes

Hello, welcome to my blog.


In 2010 there was a huge earthquake that happened in Christchurch it was because of the tectonic plates that are under the city. Tectonic plates are the things that cause earthquakes if it moves side to side it will create earthquakes that aren't that bad but if they move up and down the earthquakes can get really bad. But what got Christchurch through was all the wonderful people who helped out we had so many helpers. The people that helped tidy up were Taiwanese rescuers, students, navy, NZ military, and the Japanese search and rescue we had so many people helping out the community. 

 

Who were the people affected by the Chch earthquakes?

  • Family who died

  • People with homes destroyed - liquefaction

  • Crumbled

  • Foundations ruined

  • The tectonic plate shifting and spreading a whole in the farmlands

  • People who had to move away from their homes

  • And many more

Pasta rover challenge

 Hi,

In Hurumanu 3 science we tried making a Mars Rover using pasta and Round mints. So what we had to do first was to plan what the mars rover would look like before we actually make it we draw it on a piece of paper and draw some ideas for the rover. After a few minutes, we started making the rover then we put the parts together with my group. We used glues to put the parts together and stick it the challenge to us was to make the wheels move it took us a lot of time to think of how the wheels are going to move. The last part that we had done was do the challenge was trying the car and putting it on the 1m down the ramp it didn't work quite right because the wheels broke here are some of the photos that were taken during the making of the rover.
