Week 9 Reflection

Last week we did a lot of maths and the main thing that we focused on was geometry. The easiest thing that thought was locus this is where you draw paths so if it asked you to draw a man swing on the rope and letting go int to the water it would look like thisへ. We also did bearings and true bearings. Bearing are where you have to find it weather it is going North,West,South or East. if and arrow was in between  North and East and it was pointing East and the degree was 32 you would do North32East. This means that your turning North 32 degrees East. In tech arts we started to create our balloon cars this is where we have to create a car that can be pushed by the power of a balloon. In my group there is Johanna,Alice and I. Our car design is a triangle because we all agreed that that was the most aerodynamic thing to do. On Friday we started to construct it Mrs Tyson helped us a lot to stick our triangle together because it is 3D.

Week 7 Reflection

Last week we did a lot of maths. For maths we did to find unknown angles, what we did was we had a shape and it had angles but one was missing and we had to find that missing degrees. Example this is our shape ∆ and the degrees that we have are 80 and 90. The trick to finding the angle is that all triangles add up to the sum of 180 degrees so 90+80=170 so the missing angle is 10 degrees. In tech arts we are starting to make a marble roll this is were we make a track and the marble has to roll down it for exactly 15 seconds and the closest group wins. In my group there is Alice, Justin and I so far we have only cut out the pieces to the track and made the piece that holds it together. There are 2 things that we have to follow you only have limited amount out stuff that you can use to build it and it has to run for exactly 15 seconds. This is a tech arts that is really fun.  Last week we finished our film review our movie that we were doing it on was Wall-e I enjoyed writing...
