My entrepreneurial qualities

My entrepreneurial qualities

Three entrepreneurial qualities i have is, reliability, being a good team member and Leadership. I am reliable because i am able to be given a job or task to complete and i will achieve to aim high and will accomplish it to the highest of my ability. An example of this is when i was recently assigned many tasks on education perfect, during the holiday, and i completed them all, with 100%. Another one of my many entrepreneurial qualities is being a good team member. One of the many examples of when this quality was shown, was when i participated in the Mathematics Mathex competition last term, where me and my group now hold the school’s record, with 75 points. I contributed to the group by answering as many questions as i could and also was the runner for half the competition. I am able to show great leadership skills through my hardworking attitude and persistence i constantly show. I take all the opportunities i can get when presented with them and make sure the whole group is included in knowing what to do and how to do it. Being a leader takes dedication and confidence, which is something i take pride in having.

Indigenous people of the Amazon: The Guarani people

Indigenous people of the Amazon: The Guarani people

Guarani people presentation

While creating this presentation i learnt about the Guarani people and their cultural significance towards the Amazon rainforest. I learnt that the guarani people were one of the first tribes to be contacted after the early Europeans arrived in the Amazon rain-forest, and it is believed that they were around as early as the 19th century, while others believe they have been around for over 500 years. One of the most significant threats these people have faced, is when their land in Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil, was taken from them due to masses of deforestation. Huge cattle ranches and sugar cane plantations were built in the Guarani’s land for Brazil’s biofuels market, but it has pushed the Guarani tribe out of their habitat and forced them to reside somewhere else. I believe this is one of the main reasons why the Amazon is culturally significant to them.

Why is tobacco sometimes chewed, and sometimes smoked?

Why is tobacco sometimes chewed, and sometimes smoked?

Tobacco is a product prepared from the leaves of the Tobacco plant, by curing them. Tobacco can be consumed by chewing it and smoking it in cigarettes and cigars.Tobacco is like any other drug, it can be used for many different reasons and can be highly addictive depending on how much you consume. Tobacco is one of the highest harming drugs in New Zealand. A study shows a lot of tobacco users smoke for reasons like stress relief, weight loss and relaxation. Another study shows people who start smoking in their teens, are addicted once they reach adulthood. Reasons for teens to smoke is for reasons like looking more mature especially around friends and experimenting. Tobacco is consumed in different ways because of how easily accessible it is, and therefore this reason gives people more ways to experiment with it, without it being illegal.

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.

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:

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.
