Balance callange

We made our own challenge based on balancing.

First, we planned out what challenge we were doing. Our plan was to stand on one leg and swing our arms back and forth while holding the bottle.

Next, we tested out our challenge by avoiding our tipping point while making the bottles touch each other.

Lastly, we took a photo and recorded our results and we made our poster. 

I need to get better at my print design rules becuase I was struggling with my print resign rules.

 

Simple machthins

Did you know that there are 3 similar simple machines. They are: wheel and axle, pulley, and screw. Simple machines were used to make work eaiser.

The three simailor simple machins

The wedge pulls stuff apart, the lever helps lift heavy obgexts, and the inclided plane helps you move somthing from high to low.These are simaliar simple machins.

simple machines

A simple machine is a machine that helps move an object.

There are six simple machines a lever ,screw, axel and wheel, inclined plane, wedge, and a pulley.

A lever is a simple machine that help you lift big objects.

A screw is a simple machine that holds things together. 

A axel and wheel is a simple machine that can move heavy things. 

The inclinded plane is a simple machine that helps move objects from a low level to a high level easier.

A wedge is a simple machine that helps push things apart.

A pully is a simple machine that lifts things up and down they use a pully on a crane. 

These 6 machines are still used today to move objects.

LS1s Treaty

LS1 we learnt about the 3ps in the Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning.

First Mr Ogilvie introduced the 3ps in the Treaty of Waitangi.

They are protection, partnership,participation.

Then in groups we wrote statments about the 3ps in LS1.

LS1 figured out the 3ps are all connected.

After thet we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these 3 statments because they will help me be successful with my learning in LS1.

I will practice to get better at these statments.

presentation

Our Inquiry task was to create a presentation of our shelte design to persuade the client (Panmure Bridge School represented by (Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie) into building our structure.

We had 3 minutes to present it but on the lack of time my group did not finish presenting it. We got feedback at the end. 

When the time was up for our presentation we got a little bit of feedback about our shelter that protects against earthquakes and our presentation. The feedback they gave was: To get prepared for the creitera.

I enjoyed this because i got to see what having a job is like.

Inquiry

This week, our company (Life Savers) brainstormed ideas for an emergency shelter design. We needed to think of the structural shape and design of the emergency shelter. We also needed to think about what our shelter will be designed to resist.First, we sketched on a piece of paper of what shape we're doing for our emergency shelter, and my group picked a triangle. This is because a triangle have sharp points and it can make things slide down from it

Next we used a software called sketchup to make a 3d design of our shelter. Sketchup is a program that allows people to design and create anything they want in three dimensions.

We decided to make the shelter out of tungsten because it is strong and brick because it is thick. We think these are suitable materials for water and wind natural disasters.

Some changes that we want to make are making the shelter big because it looks small and want to make the inside spacious so that we can put that things we need to survive 

The size of the entrance is 2.15 meters and the size of the shelter is 3.45 meters just in case of an emergency. The walls of our shelter are pretty thick because the shelter is made out of tungsten brick. There should be windows so that the people inside the emergency shelter are aware of what is happening and can identify if it is safe to exit the emergency shelter. The windows should be fairly big, about 2 meters so that people can see out of them clearly. 

Inquiry

LI to determine the insulate properties of materials.

Insulators are used to stop heatfrom moving place to place.

Five materials were tested for there ability to insulate : glass, plastic metal, paper, and by polystrene.

The best insulater for keeping things warm was glass and polystrene.

The best insulater for keeping things cold was metal, paper, and plastic.

Plastic to keep things cold is the best one. polystrene is the best one to keep things hot.

measuring

For inquiry this week we did an experimint for measuring

First we got a big measuring cup and a small measuring cup.

We put 100ml of water in the big measuring cup and poured it in the small measuring cup.

Next we had to put 50gr of sand in the jar by having a cup full of sand and pouring 50gr of sand in the jar using a spoon.

Next we had to put them on the scale to find if it was correct.

After that we had to put the water in the jar with the sand to see if the sand absorbed some of the water. We had to remove the water that didnt get absorbed.

And the water that did get absorbed was 16ml and the water that didnt get absorbed was 84ml.

Making smores

 LI: to demonstrate prior knowledge 

For inquiry we did a group activity about safety plans. There was two safety plans.

One of the safety plans was the fire plan. The second safety plan was the food plan.

The hazards was the fire sticks and the students.

The risks are passing out from the smoke from the fire and getting burnt.

After we finished the safety plan we made the fire from wood paper and a lighter.

The ingredients for the smores are marshmallows and biscuits and chocolate sauce. We went to the fire and melted our marshmallows on a kebab stick.

We put the melted marshmallows on the biscuits and put chocolate sauce on the biscuits.

And it tasted Amazing.

Hasard and risks

We learnt how to identify the risks that hazards can cause. We used our prior knowledge to understand this activity more.

First, we talked about identifying what hazards and risks are. Hazards are something that can be used to cause harm or pain, and risks are the possibility that something will happen and cause harm or pain.

Then, we focused on finding four hazards at home, four hazards at school, four hazards in sport and four hazards in our community.

After that, we worked on identifying the risks that the hazards cause. We put our understanding of each risk and hazard into a slideshow.

The slideshow shows what the hazard is and the risks that the hazard can cause. The hazards are: sticks, keys, students, cleaning spray, siblings, toaster, pets, open windows, mud, mouthguard, arrow, oxygen tank, dust, gas, wet grass and floods.

This purpose of this activity is to use prior knowledge to understand the risks that hazards can cause.

LI: to demonstrate prior knowledge.

 

Sound

Sound can be made when someone drops a ball or a tree falls down and a car crash happens also someone talking. Sound has properties.

Sound can travel in all directions.

If your further away from someone that made sound its going to be harder to hear them but if the person goes closer its more clearer. 

Sound can travel around corners.
