Reading /Learn Task 2

If the UV level is 1-2 (Low) it means you are safe to play outside and you don’t need sunscreen.

 If the UV level is 3-5 (Moderate) it means that you need protection for your skin especially  if you have fair skin. And play outside a little bit 

If the UV level is 6-7 (High) it means you definitely need protection and so you need to slip,slop,slap,wrap. And go to the beach for a little while 

If the UV level is 8-10 (Very high) it mean that you have to look for shade and reapply sunscreen regularly

 If the UV level is 11+ (extreme) it means you will need to reschedule all outdoor activities to the morning or evening and you will need full protection

Reading/Learn Task 1

Why does the UV rays of the sun change during the day?Due to the sun’s elongated rays and lower atmospheric opacity during the summer, UV radiation is at its highest level. As a result of the sun’s lower angular position and the longer path its rays take through the atmosphere during the winter, more UV radiation is absorbed, resulting in lower UV levels.

What are the times when the UV rays of the sun are most dangerous in NZ?the most dangerous time of the uv rays is during daylight saving months which is (september to april) at around 10am to 4pm

What affects UV radiation?Numerous variables, such as the time of day, season, cloud cover, altitude, location, and nearby surfaces, have an impact on the UV level.

What is the UVNZ app? Forecasts of the UV index (UVI) are provided by the app for various places in Aotearoa. Skin damage is possible if the UVI is 3 or above, thus protection is necessary. The app uses information from NIWA Taihoro Nukurangi to tell you when, based on your location, you should use sunscreen.

What different types of radiation does the sun send out? Radiation is one way to transfer heat to visible light

What is UVB and UVA and UVC? UVB is radiation that gets to the top layer of your skin and can cause sunburn ,UVA is radiation that goes deep into the skin. It can cause long-term damage like wrinkles, blotchiness, sagging and skin cancer and UVC is the most radiation.

Which is the most dangerous and why? All UVC is absorbed by ozone and oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere, preventing it from reaching the surface. Workers must safeguard themselves from additional UVC sources, such as arc welding, which can occur.

Is UV exposure good for our health?Premature ageing and skin cancer are side consequences of continuous UV exposure, but sunburn is a sign of short-term overexposure. If eye protection is not worn, exposure to UV raises the risk of potentially blinding eye illnesses. Overexposure to UV light can cause major health problems, including cancer.

 

What happens when you have too little UV Exposure?Exposure to UV rays can cause premature ageing of the skin and signs of sun damage such as wrinkles, leathery skin, liver spots, actinic keratosis, and solar elastosis.

 

Maths create task

A quadrilateral known as a kite is made up of two pairs of contiguous, equal-length sides. The two angles meet at a point where their properties are equal. It can be thought of as a pair of congruent triangles sharing a base. and if you get an object that is a square and  turn it till the corner  is face the bottom  and then you got a kite

poi making

Today we went to Te Oro to learn how to make poi,the first thing you have to do is cut  a square foam into a circle then we had to make our string with wool and then make our pompom with the wool next we had to rap around the wool 30 times  on the big square and then put it all together and plait it  after we put it all together and put some plastic bag around it and then tie it with a string of wool and then we were done. our teacher was wheaea Binny.
