Instrument evaluation

 In music I learnt to play many instruments the piano, keyboard, ukulele and guitar. Although I love the piano and keyboard because I find it easy to play I only just got the hang of the guitar and want to learn more. The most challenging instrument to play was the guitar it was the only instrument I took forever to learn, both the piano and keyboard were pretty easy but the guitar was hard to play. I really want to play all instruments but for now I am going to stick to learning more about the guitar. I would like to at least learn 1 song on the guitar as I know many songs on the piano and keyboard, the ukulele is no for me its just too small.

 

Power to the people

 

The law of conservation of energy

Energy

Energy cant be created nor destroyed but only changed from one form into another form.

e.g of energy transformation- battery put into a flashlight to make light, which is chemical energy. 

aim: to look at the energy transformation

equipment:

Paper spiral, Bunsen Burner, gas 

summary:

As I held the paper spiral above the Bunsen Burner the heat cause it to spin round and round, so heat energy was being transformed into kinetic energy. 

1. what kind of energy was transformed?

heat energy transformed into kinetic energy

2. what was it transformed to?

heat energy - kinetic energy

End of life choice referendum

 End of life choice

Referendum - A vote for someone from a politician asking for a direct decision. 

There are rules for anyone wanting to vote and they are..

- Be aged over 18 years or over

- Be citizen or permanent resident of NZ

- Suffer from terminal illness thats likely to end their life within 6 months

- Have significant and ongoing decline in physical capability

- Experience unbearable suffering that cannot be eased 

- Be able to make an informed decision about assisted dying

Something good about this criteria is that you get told when your life is over so that makes you and your family to be ready for when the times comes. But on the other hand you still have to be over the age of 18, be NZ citizen and experience suffering that cant be eased. All those make your illness worse if your either 16, 15, 14 etc because that means you have to wait longer to just end the pain. You cant make a decision till you are 18 and over so waiting and suffering just to die isn't something anyone wants. So therefore I disagree with some of these rules, obviously if you are under 10 years old you are still learning new things, but that doesn't mean you cant have an opinion it would just mean your parents should be there to help you decide whether or not this illness is worth dying.  

The guitar

 The guitar is a 6 stringed instrument, because i'm a new learner I find it difficult to move my fingers along the threats. Although playing it is annoying and hard I still have fun and love it. A ukulele is another instrument which looks similar to the guitar except it is smaller and has only 4 strings. The song I love hearing played with the guitar is Tears in heaven by Eric Clapton. Not only does this song have a good meaning to it but it is also calming.
