ANZAC poster (World War I)

I have made a ANZAC recruitment Poster for ANZAC day as well as ANZAC flowers to commemorate the ANZACs  bravery at Gallipoli in 1915.


Science Experiment

I did the 'floating egg' Experiment (https://www.sciencekids.co.nz/experiments/floatingeggs.html) The experiment didn't work the way it was supposed too. Instead of the floating in the middle It floats on the top and then it went to the bottom.

How World War 1 began

Hello if you are reading this post then you are  keen in world war one history but today I am talking about some of the things that started the First World War. Enjoy!

1906: The first event started 8 years before the the actual start of the First World War! It was the launch of the HMS Dreadnought a new naval ship which made every other ship in the world obsolete. Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II wanted to equal the new ship and make more starting a naval race. They were eager to face off and see whos navy was stronger.

1908: Austria- Hungary took some land from the Ottoman Empire and made a new country Bosnia and Herzegovina which angered the empire of Serbia forming a hate between the two countries , this spiraled into 2 mini-wars the first Balkans war and the second Balkans war which shrunk the Ottoman Empire. 


28 June 1914,: Archduke Franz Ferdinand the heir to the Austria- Hungary throne and his wife Sophie visited the Bosnian and Herzegovinian capital of Sarajevo they drove to the capital.

10:28 am:  A group of six assassins with weapons from the Serbian gang Black hand planned to kill him the first assassin threw a grenade at the car and hit the car behind Franz.

10:40 am - 10:45 am: The Couple wanted to see the people that the grenade actually hit in hospital but the driver took a wrong turn and stopped to reverse Gavrilo Princip (the last assassin) ran in front of  the car and shot the Archduke and his wife with a pistol he was treated as a criminal in Bosnia and Herzegovina but in Serbia he was a hero.

28 July 1914: Austria- Hungary and Germany declared war on Serbia, See that Germany declared war Britain declared war as well as France and Russia.

There you have it a quick History of the lead-up to World War One!.

Droughts and Floods: Earth day

Today I will be talking about two of the twelve natural disasters, Droughts and floods.

Droughts:

A Drought is when there is unusually long dry weather. There is lots of dust storms and not enough water to survive, people don't have enough water to nourish their crops and give water to their cattle so sadly people die of lack of food and dehydration. Droughts are getting a lot worse because of climate change and the world is getting warmer which is meaning more Droughts. When Droughts happen the ground becomes hard and when there's finally rainfall the ground is so hard that the water can't seep through to get to the soil and the water stays on top and floods.

Floods:

Floods happen when there is too much water and it overflows onto land. Floods have been a threat since humanity started. The water drowns the crops and drowns cattle ending in starvation. The worst Floods happened in China in 1931 and killed 2,500,000 people to 4,000,000 people. Floods have become more common because of the Arctic ice caps melting which is making the ocean levels rise onto islands.
