What are the benefits of a regular routine of getting up on time in the morning?

"What are the benefits of a regular routine of getting up on time in the morning?"

A regular routine will help you get prepared for school better and help your get ready for school. If you are able to get it more regular when waking up on time it can make you feel much more energised when you wake up. And in the future waking up on time for work will be beneficial, you can contribute more into your job/career, and you wont run the risk of being late on time and getting fired. Overall a good sleep schedule and morning routine will help you highly for now and the future. 

"What is one positive thing that you can do for others in your day?"

You could greet them with a smile and a handshake.

10R ELE

For electronics so far we have been using an app called microbit. It is a coding app that you use to make LEDs and you can have different variables and ways of controlling it. We have made alot of projects on it, one we had to make was a space invaders game, i had attempted making it, however it did work properly and you can have a look at my attempt and hopefully I will learn off my mistakes and improve on it

Transmission/Gearbox


Image result for gearbox

For the past week in metal tech we have been learning about engines and gearboxes, we learned alot of the functions of engines and gears, such as the differences between petrol and diesel and gearboxes and transmissions. We also learned about 4WD, rpm, torque horsepower and more. Today we learned that a transmission uses a torque converter and primary/secondary drums for an automatic car. A gearbox uses a flywheel that has the gears in a input (which the power from the engine comes) and the output shaft (which is what gear you selected.

Here are some questions i was asked to answer                   (Gearbox)
Which engine do I prefer?
Petrol
Why?
Because of the less fuel mileage and higher rpm
What is the difference between diesel and petrol?
Petrol would have more rpm and it is more eco friendly but costs more and diesel has more torque to pull themselves up places like steep hills and to get unstuck and costs lest but more fuel mileage and releases alot of CO2 into the environment.
Transmission or gearbox?
I would choose transmission
Why?
Because it would be easier to control and you can just cruise along the road without having to switch gears and not stalling the car

Popsicle Stick Bridge

Ever since we started metal tech we had to design and make a bridge out of popsicle sticks. My group (Me, Vaden and Cohan) had won the challenge with a whopping 49kg. We also learned that making sticks into triangles on the side gives more support. Here are some photos of our bridge

Science Fair Reflection

Today in science we learned about the procedures of a fair test. We made made a flow chart (google slide) to show all the steps in making a fair test. The steps are as followed: 1. To make a title about your fair test, 2. Make a hypothesis or what you may think will happen in the experiment, 3. Is to create your experiment and write the procedure and items needed, 4. Is to perform your experiment. 5. You must analyse your data and record your info, if the data is inaccurate you must perform the experiment again, 6. Now all you have to is communicate your results. It is recommended that you do the experiment multiple times to make sure your data is accurate. Everyone must follow this procedure in doing a fair test and I will do it for next year for the school science fair.

Here is my flow chart

Animation For Perimeter And Area

On Friday 9R had to make an animation (on google slides or another animation website) about area and perimeter. My animation explains the basics of perimeters and area and how to find them in a shape. Explaining perimeter and area was fairly easy to do, it was just making the transitions and the actual animation was time consuming, however next time I could make it faster and have less slides. Something I was hoping to work on was to explain how to to find the area on a triangles, parallelograms and other 2D shapes. Here is my animation. Enjoy.
