Taekwon-do Part 2

Being in a actual tournament can be quite nerve racking. Sometimes people get scared at the beginning, but once you get in the ring you gain courage. Sparring can be nervous because they might hit you hard, but when they hit you you start to get use to it

My first tournament was nervous but once I got in the ring I said in my head “breathe” and I just started to gain courage. Tournament’s a nerve racking because you have no idea who a the other people.

I have medals from my first tournament Gold was in Sparring Silver in Patterns and Bronze for flying high kick. I've got all of the medals

This will take you to Part 1-http://pessebastianr.blogspot.co.nz/2013/04/taekwon-do.html

Taekwon-do

Taekwon-do is all about showing disapline. There are different stations like sparring, patterns,flying high kick and many other speciality. Patterns teach you how to control yourself. Sparring just helps you to control your power.

Flying high kick is all about jumping and kicking at the same time. The more experience you have you can do other things like helicopter kick, Flying turning ,Flying rising  kick and flying back kick

Omaru Creek

Testing Omaru Creek for -

I am going to find out: the differences in colour, smell and turbidity of Omaru Creek.

I am going to test this by: comparing different water samples from different locations along the creek.

Resources and equipment:

4 jars 5 buckets 5 string

Smell:

	Prediction	Observation
Sea water	I think it was Salty	It was actually Clear
Tap water	I think it was  Fresh	It was actually Fresh
Omaru Creek water by culvert	I think it was  Rotten Oysters	It was actually Rotten Oysters
Omaru Creek water by bridge	I think it was LIttled pinch of Salt	It was actually like pinch of salt

My conclusion (what I found out): Salt water is not actually salty it’s just a little pinch of salt.

Colour:

	Prediction	Observation
Sea water	I think it was White and Clear	It was actually Clear
Tap water	I think it would be Clear	It was actually Clear
Omaru Creek water by culvert	I think it would be Pinch of Green	It was actually Gray Green
Omaru Creek water by bridge	I think it would be Lightest Green	It was actually Lemonade

My conclusion (what I found out): the colour of the water was clear like the sea water

Turbidity:

	Prediction	Observation
Sea water	I think it will be cloudy	It was actually clear
Tap water	I think it will be clear	It was actually clear
Omaru Creek water by culvert	I think it will be muddy	It was actually quite clear
Omaru Creek water by bridge	I think it will be muddy	It was actually quite clear

My conclusion I thought the culvert had more turbidity then the bridge

Testing Omaru Creek

Testing Omaru Creek for -

I am going to find out: What the water smells like

I am going to test this by: Smelling the water

Resources and equipment: 4 jars,String and a bucket

I predict that: The culvert is going to smell the worst

I think this because: It’s a good way to get the water

Results of my tests

Sea Water	A little bit fishy
Tap water	The jar was the only thing I could smell
Omaru Creek water by culvert	Musty and old
Omaru Creek water by bridge	old plants

My conclusion (what I found out): The culvert water was cleaner today than yesterday

Why I think this is: The water went out to the sea because of the wind
