ANZAC Soldiers

Anzac Soldiers     

By Amy

The events of Gallipoli are still important today because when the war happened, Australia had just became a federal commonwealth. It is also important because the event encouraged many people to remember the men and women who sacrificed their lives for their own nation.

The soldiers wore hats on their heads. Many soldiers wore felt hats that includes a peak at the crown and a badge. Soldiers wore belts and puttees. Puttees are long, woollen wraps that helps to keep warm and to avoid the saddles. They also wore tunics, pugarees and boots. The boots help to keep their foot warm and comfortable.

The soldiers mostly ate food in cans and tins. They ate bully beef(tin canned beef), rice, jam, cocoa, some bread, hard crackers, bacon and dried peas. They drank tea, coffee, milk and water. Soldiers also fed on Anzac wafers. The Anzac wafers were so hard that some soldiers broke their teeth while eating them. Some soldiers added some liquid like coffee, milk, tea and water in the wafers to soften it, to avoid their teeth from being broken off.

The soldiers communicated with each other by using sign language and codes. Sometimes, soldiers use pigeons to send letters. This is rarely used because the opponents might shoot the bird, so the messages won’t be sent.

Chromebook

Switching from the computer sweet to the Chromebook really helped me. In the computer sweet, the connection is slow and you will have to wait till it is your turn to go on the computers. It is harder to do group projects because one computer can be crowded with all the people in the group. Using a Chromebook, doing group projects are much easier and quicker to finish because you can discuss and email others in your group and be more collaborative.You can use the Chromebook anywhere at any time. The Chromebook helps you to finish my work at your own pace either at school or at home. You can be more creative using the Chromebook and you can get information faster. You can also connect to the world, see what the world is doing and share your work to the world. I experienced to use new applications to be more creative. The recent apps we worked on were sketchpad, booktrack, dogonews and studyladder.

heat transfer

Heat transfer

 HEAT TRANSFER

Heat is energy. It is made of molecules too. We need heat to live or we will freeze to death. Heat can transfer through three types, convection, conduction and radiation.

Convection is the transfer of heat in gas or liquid form. e.g. heater, oven  

Conduction is the transfer of heat which can be transferred from molecule from molecule. It does not possibly change positions, instead they vibrate more or less against each other. e.g. stove

Radiation is the transfer of heat which comes from a source and travels through some objects or space. e.g X-rays, microwave

Heat is very useful to us because instead of being cold you can feel warm. It is important or else we won’t be able to use electricity for anything.
