The balance system
Today I have to do a blog about the balance system we have to answer 3 questions about it.
1. There is liquid in a part of your ear when you are off-balance the liquid touches the hairs in your ear it signals to your brain to tell you your off-balance
2. Some techniques you can do to help you with your balance you can stand on 1 leg with your eyes closed, stand on one leg, stand on 1 leg while turning your head side to side.
3. You fell dizzy after spinning because the liquid in your ear is still moving so your brain still thinks you are moving

ww1
Today I have to do a blog about the work I have done on this subject we had to write out a paragraph about it I learned that in world war 1 there was something called shrapnel it was a bomb that when exploded it pushed out a bunch of fragments that went into people eyes, head and their legs. Also that it was easier to get alcohol than water and most of the soldiers had alcohol instead of water because the alcohol didn’t have to be clean to drink it. We also looked at the trenches back then.
I think I have been focusing and getting my work done, I learned about the dreadnoughts, learning about ww1 good to get the work done

Electrical house project
Today I have to do a blog about this house project that we did in science and maths we had to choose a house draw it out and put some light bulbs in the drawing and calculate the voltage of each bulb. We also had to find the area and perimeter the area was 113.14 and 41 for perimeter my house had 10 light bulbs
Aim to make a house
Method: I choose the second house it has 10 bulbs and 4 rooms
Discussion: Voltage is the pressure from an electrical circuit's power source that pushes charged electrons. Current is the rate at which electrons flow past a point in a complete electrical circuit. Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
