Speech about Adrian Shelford

Adrian Shelford

I have been working on this speech about Adrian shelford. He is an ex-Hornby High student. Here is my speech be sure to leave some feedback.

Ngāi Tahu unveil Te Ātanga, the Broadhurst-Shelford Trophy

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are going to be versing the Vodafone Warriors at the AMI Stadium on the 9th of June. You are probably wondering why I am telling you this? Well, you know ex-Hornby High School Student Adrian Shelford, that was the team he played for.

Adrian Shelford died in 2003. Hami Shelford said his family was honoured by the recognition his brother Adrian received through the trophy. He said that he remembered Adrian who passed away in 2003, as a man with the determination and the commitment to succeed in everything he did.

He was a man of strength in many different ways physically, morally and spiritually. He was 100% committed to everything he inspired to be, on the field or off.

The trophy was there to represent Ngai Tahu Culture. The trophy has a particular significance for Adrian who whakapapa to Ngai Tahu. The trophy recognizes two former Christchurch greats, Mark

Broadhurst and Adrian Shelford, who represented Manly in the 1980s and 1990s. They started their career at the Christchurch Rugby League Club. Manly has committed to have a home game in Christchurch for 2018 and 2019 with an opposition for a third match 2020, and the trophy is always on the line everytime Manly takes the field in Christchurch.

Exploding coke

Aim: To see if coke explodes when a Mentos lolly is dropped into it using different temperatures and different kinds of coke.

Hypothesis: 

Steve Spangler Mentos & Coke Experiment

We can do better: We need to try several experiements to see which one works best

Equipment:

Ruler

Beaker

Thermometer

Coke Mentos

Measuring flask

Method:

Stage 1: ( All groups)

1. Add 150ml of coke to a measuring flask
2. Place the flask in the sink.
3. Drop in 1 mentos a watch the effect.

Group 1  ( Levi)

Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke ( Using a thermometer heat it to 75 degrees)
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the hieght it reachs

Group 2  ( Tehya)

Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke ( Using a thermometer heat it to 45 degrees)
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the hieght it reach

Group 3  (Lars)

Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke ( Using a thermometer heat it to 30 degrees)
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the height it reach

Group 4  (Jaz)

Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke ( Using a thermometer heat it to 15 degrees)
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the height it reach

Group 5 (Rinieya)

Test 1

1. Heat up 50ml in a beaker of coke 
2. Place the beaker ion the sink and add a mentos.

Test 2

1. Add 50 ml of cold diet coke to a beaker
2. Add 5 mentos.
3. Record the height it reach

Findings:

Add your measurements to the table

Liquid	Height
Coke
Crushed mentos
Coke zero	Didn't explode
75 Degrees
45 Degrees
30 Degrees	Best time to do it
15 Degrees	Didn't explode

More investigations:

1. Does it work better with hot Coke( group 1) , warm Coke ( group 2 ) or cold Coke?( group 3)
2. Use Normal and Coke zero.
3. Does crushed Mentos work better than whole Mentos?( group 4) 

Science

e type	How does it behave?	Time ( secs)
Paper sheet, drop	It just went straight to the ground.	3.55
Paper with fold down middle, drop	It didn't stay in the air for very long it just dropped.	2.95
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop	It just drifted and then dropped	3.01
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop	It stayed in the air for longer.	3.89
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw	It stayed in the air for way longer than the last time and just glided while in the air 4.83

Findings:

When I first dropped the paper it just dropped but it took longer to come down. The second time I did it it just glided and and cam straight back down. On the last time it just glided and it took longer to come down then the rest.
