Does Classical Music have an Effect on the Speed of a Plant's Growth?

 Kia ora, 

For my Science Fair topic, I am going to be exploring whether classical music has an effect on the speed of a plants growth. 

I think this is important, because if my experiment is successful (in the way that it does have an effect on the speed of growth), then it could change the way man-kind grows plants in large quantities. An example of an improvement in this matter (if successful) could be: the fruit and vegetable fields. If the companies are able to grow their products faster, with the presence of music, then they are able to ship and sell their products away faster. This could also be a positive thing because the value of fruits and vegetables will naturally go down due to the fast growing levels- making them more eligible for people of all incomes to buy. If fruit and vegetables are cheaper, the consumption rates will be higher, consequently creating a healthier planet. 

Thank you for reading.

Brooke.

Leadership within my School

 We have just completed an assessment which discusses the different roles of the student hierarchical leadership system within our kural, (which is Bay of Islands College), and who those people are that fulfill those roles. I created a Google Doc to display my mahi.


This assignment was about learning and identifying the different leadership roles within our kura so that we are able to gage a clear understanding of what these roles consist of to hopefully, one day, take these roles for ourselves. 


I have learnt how to identify the people in our kura based on their leadership role, and also the things I can receive support in. For example, I can talk to Rome Davis about my concerns regarding the school so he can transfer my concerns to the Board of Trustees Meetings to hopefully, present a change in the school- as he is the Board of Trustees Student Representative. 


This relates to my Leadership Speech assignment because it discusses the different attributes which are necessary in being a good leader. One of which is determination. To be a good leader in our kura, you need to be determined in making good changes which will benefit everyone. 


I now have a clear understanding of these roles so I am able to aspire to be a senior leader with the certainty that I know all that consists of being a representative and leader for Bay of Islands College.
