Infer Meaning

Welcome to my blog today I’m blogging about inferring


Inferring is being able to ‘read within the sentences’
when the author implies something but doesn’t exactly
state it. You need to use the clues in the text and your
own prior knowledge to help you understand.
Etc: “Sarah’s mouth
was dry and she had

stomach. She wished
today was already
over.”

Hurumanu- wind power



Measuring weather.

Definitions:


  1.  Anemometer:
  2. Beaufort wind scale:

Anemometer

MATERIALS 

  1. 4 dishes
  2.   2 stick
  3. tape 
  4. 1 pencil 
  5. 1 pin

Groups size: 5 

Roles:
  • Timekeeper (Taylor)
  • Counter(Andrei)
  • Recorder (Me)
  • Anemometer Manager (JC)
  • Wind Manager (Me)
  1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
  2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
  3. Repeat the above step four (4) times and record the number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

  • Record how many times it spins and record it in the table below.
  • You will need to time them and count the number of spins.


Place name on school grounds                                    Number of Spins in 15 seconds
1.Field1
2.Old J Block site1
3.Grass hill in the quad1
4.Tennis Court gate2

CONCLUSION:

in conclusion, I was expecting the hill in the field has the most spins.
