Kia ora everyone, we have started a topic on ℤ𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕤 𝕆𝕗 ℝ𝕖𝕘𝕦𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟. Zones are based on the topic of your emotions. They come with all sorts of different impacts on your feelings and emotions. The most common emotions are red (anger), green (happy), yellow (anxious), and blue (sad). How do you think you cope? I know specifically that I try to breathe it out. Deep breaths. It reflects on what’s happening in your daily life. What you take from every hour of your days. What’s your lifestyle like? It could reflect on anything. But it is most important to stay in the green zone. Because that’s a more calm, nicer, kinder, zone that could help you make yourself feel amazing. It’s like minions, they all have different zones and different personalities. They reflect on how they feel every day, and also what’s around them, something might annoy them, so it shifts their mood into another zone. I agree on the different zones because I have also felt like I’ve been in those zones before. I also agree on the different subjects that go into the zones. Example Red (anger) it’s got a list of different emotions that relate into one big emotion and a colour. I think it’s a great idea to express our emotions through colours.

Forensics Blog Post

Hello and welcome back to my blog post. Today, I will answer some questions about forensic scientists.

What is a forensics scientist?

Forensic science plays a vital role in the criminal justice system. Forensic scientists examine and analyze evidence from crime scenes and other locations to provide objective findings. These findings can help in investigating and prosecuting criminals, or they can exonerate individuals who are innocent and under suspicion.

Who was the first forensics scientist?

Archimedes is often considered the first forensic scientist. According to legend, a king had commissioned a special gold crown from a local goldsmith, but he suspected that it might not be made of pure gold. He asked Archimedes to determine whether he had been deceived, but he wanted to ensure that the crown would not be damaged during any tests.

Who was the first person to be convicted due to fingerprints?

The Chinese were the first culture known to have used friction ridge impressions as a means of identification. The earliest example comes from a Chinese document- titled “The Volume of Crime Scene Investigation—Burglary”, from the Qin Dynasty (221 to 206 B.C.).

What is DNA and how is it used to “catch” people – or prove their innocence?

Every individual has unique DNA, except identical twins, who share the same DNA since they originate from the same initial cell. Forensic scientists utilize the distinctive nature of DNA to assist in apprehending criminals.

They collect human cells found at a crime scene, which may come from sources such as blood, saliva, or hair. Forensic scientists then extract DNA from these cells, analyze it, and create a DNA profile.

This DNA profile is compared to a database of other profiles. If a match is found, it can serve as valuable evidence in the investigation.

Genetic profiling can be a controversial topic. The table below summarizes some of the advantages and disadvantages of using this technique.

How does dirt help a forensic scientist?

Soil trace evidence can connect a suspect to a burial site or help establish links between different crime scenes. By comparing soil samples from the burial site with samples collected from other locations, investigators can gain valuable insights into the movements of suspects or objects.

How do insects help a forensic scientist?

From the early stages of decomposition, insects are drawn to the body and may lay their eggs on it. By examining the insect population and the various developmental stages of the larvae, forensic scientists can estimate the postmortem interval, determine any changes in the position of the corpse, and assist in identifying the cause of death.

How do you become a forensic scientist?

Many universities offer relevant science courses, including forensic science at the Universities of Auckland and Otago. Your expertise will develop through work experience in your specialized field and on-the-job training.

Maths

Hey everyone. Today, let’s dive into something super fun that we encounter every day: data. You might not think about it often, but data is all around us. It helps us understand the world better, and it’s really fun to explore. In this post, I’ll tell you all about two important types of data, Discrete data, and continuous data.

Explaining Discrete and Continuous data.

Imagine you have a big bag of marbles. If I ask you how many marbles you have, you can count them one by one. Let’s say you have 10 marbles. Since you can count them easily and there aren’t any half-marble things hanging around, we call this discrete data. Discrete data is all about counting things. You can have 1 marble, 2 marbles, or even 50 marbles. But you can’t have 2.5 marbles. Discrete data is made up of whole numbers because it counts items that are separate and distinct.

Now let’s think about something different: the height of your friends. You might measure your friend’s height and find it’s 4 feet, 5 inches, or even 4.3 feet. You can have all kinds of measurements, like 4.1, 4.2, etc. This kind of data is called continuous data. Continuous data can take on any value within a range, meaning it can be specific. like 4.235 feet. It’s like watching the water level in a cup: it can be any amount, not just specific whole numbers.

Reflection:

I felt excited as I learned about discrete and continuous data because it opened my eyes to how we reflect on information in our lives. I realized that whether I’m counting my toys it measuring my height, I’m using these concepts without knowing it. Understanding the difference feels like unlocking a secret code. To interpret the world around you and me. It’s fascinating how numbers help us understand so many things!

I hope you enjoy learning about data as much as I did and thank you for reading my blog post thank you.
