Design Brief

Conceptual Statement

In the context of Sustainability I will design and produce a Multi level game for the ages 8+ to be used to stop fights and solve issues/problems in the community (street fights in the Tamaki community) .



The reasons why a multi level game is an appropriate outcome for the ages 8+ is because it shapes the younger generation’s ideas towards fixing issues in families and groups, in other ways than physically fighting someone.  The following are a range of examples that demonstrates when the Multi level game has been effectively used to address similar issues relating to the context:

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use, to convert the energy from the sun to make food for energy.

Image result for photosynthesis

What are the substances required?

In order too carry this out, plants need not only sunlight, but also water and carbon dioxide. The food they make is called glucose, or better known as sugar. For Photosynthesis to occur, Plants need sunlight, Water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll.

The word equation for photosynthesis is:

Carbon dioxide + Water ---> Glucose + Oxygen + Water.


Here's the chemical equation for photosynthesis:Image result for formula of photosynthesis


Structure and importance of leaves:

Cell- Functions of cell parts

Functions of Cells parts

Organelles are cell structures that work together to carry out life processes.

Cell part (organelle)
Structure
Function
Cell membrane
very thin transparent sheet
holds everything inside & controls what comes in & out.
Cell wall
made of cellulose and only found in plants,very thick and strong
Provides strength for the plant.



Nucleus
small dark circular spot



The control centre for the cell and contains your genes



Cytoplasm
Watery jelly like substance which fills most of the cell.



holds cell organelles and contains nutrients and chemicals.


Vacuole
water filled bubble



helps to keep the cell firm



Chloroplasts
small green structures found only on the green part of plants.



Makes sugar for the plant.



Mitochondria



Squiggly looking thing or bean shaped organelle.



carries out respiration to give the cell energy.

Cell- Cell Structure

Cell Structure

Cellular structure is the basic structural, functional and biological unit of all known living organisms. There are two types of plant cell structures. Animal cells and Pants cells. It is easier to tell apart a Plant cell because they have a protective structure called a cell wall that is made of cellulose. Plants have the wall and animals do not. Plants also have organelles such as, green chloroplast or large, water filled vacuoles. Image result for human and plant cells

Cell- Living and Non-living

Cells

Living and Non-living

Living

The difference between living and nonliving things are that, Living things consist of cells, maintain homeostasis and can, move, grow, reproduce, feed, respire and die due to natural forces of life. Living things can also respond to environmental stimuli and excrete waste. Some examples of Living things are, humans, animals, birds, insects and plants. 

Non-Living

Non-living can not obtain or contain any of these characteristics, and do not have all of these cellular structures. The only way Non-living things can move is either by a living force or by living control. The only way Non-living things can die are if they either, break down, rust or is destroyed by living forces. Examples of Non-living things are a car, pencil, rock and a book.
