Spaghetti experiment. Whiria te tangata. Weave the people together.

Whiria te tangata. Weave the people together.


Aim:  We did a experiment about spaghetti and how many you use to hold more weight. 


Method:

  • Two desks twenty centimetre's apart.
  •  Between we put a piece of spaghetti
  • Then we made a small bucket out of a cup.
  • We put two holes in the cup and put a piece of string through the holes.
  • After we got a paper clip and made a hook to put onto the spaghetti and the string.
  • Then we hooked the string and spaghetti.
  • After that we put weights in until it snapped.  

Results: 

1103
1100
1287
1111
2145
2162
2132
2180
3194

What the data shows?  The data shows that the more spaghetti you have together is stronger. Since it is stronger it holds more weight. 

How does this relate to the whakatauki?  I believe that whakatauki means that we are stronger together and so were the spaghetti and that they need each other to hold more weight.

  Steps to making a hangi

  1. Step one is preparation, getting all the stuff you need.

  2. Step two is digging the hole to put the food in.

  4. Step four is preparing the food to put in the hangi.

  5. Step five is putting the food in the hole and covering it with dirt.

  6. Step six is uncovering the hangi and sharing kai and eating it.

Lightning the fire

When we lit the fire we used newspaper and toilet rolls. We put them in the hole that we dug before it. Then we stacked wood pellets over the hole. In between the pellets we put irons. We lit the fire from the bottom and then we looked after it. The pellets will start to turn to ash so we stack more pellets on until there's none left. The irons will have fallen through. When it is done we scoop all the ash out and use the irons to cook the food for the hangi.
