Science Water

For the last two weeks, we have been looking at the body and all the food groups that we need to generate our body so that it is the healthiest it can be for us. Those groups include fiber, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins/minerals, and water 

Some examples of fiber are: 

• "Wholegrain breakfast cereals, wholewheat pasta, wholegrain bread and oats, barley and rye.
• Fruit such as berries, pears, melon, and oranges.
• Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and sweetcorn.
• Peas, beans, and pulses.
• Nuts and seeds.
• Potatoes with skin."

Some examples of carbohydrate are:

• Glucose.
• Galactose.
• Maltose.
• Fructose.
• Sucrose.
• Lactose.
• Starch.
• Cellulose.

Some examples of  proteins are:

• Meat, 
• cheese, 
• eggs, 
• bread 
• Humes 
• nuts and seeds

Some examples of lipids are:

"Fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E, and K), hormones, and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein. Lipids are not soluble in water as they are non-polar, but are thus soluble in non-polar solvents such as chloroform."

Some examples of vitamins/minerals are:

"Calcium, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, and zinc. Minerals and trace elements are mainly found in meat, cereals, fish, milk and dairy foods, vegetables, dried fruit, and nuts."

But today I did the water side of it with me and my buddy Lhysette. We made a poster on canva of some reasons why it is important to have water all the time in our lives.

P.E and Athletes

This term for Hurumanu 6 which is P.E we were training for athletes we did shot put, discus, 100m sprints, long jump, high jump, and relay in P.E.                                                                                                    When we were training for shot put I learned that when you keep your elbow up you get more of a boost in your throw and when you're doing discus that you have to walk out the back of the circle because if you walk out the front you're disqualified. And for the 100m sprints when your running just look forward because the moment you look back you lose concentration in your running. 

In athletics I was in the long jump, high jump, discus, shot put, 100m sprint, and relay. In the long jump I jumped 3.11m in high jump I jumped 1.25m in discus I through 12.60m and in the shot put I through 7.6m for P.E I brought P.E gear most of the time and I was particpating in sport all the time.
