Technology - Maori Instrument/Tool

At Technology this week we made a type of Maori tool that made like a car engine sound. It was a simple to make but I ended up being slow at marking and ended up having to hand-sand the tool because someone used the sanding belt the wrong way and it ended up kind of making it not able to function.

Technology - Structures

This lesson at Technology we learnt about how structures work, types of structures and what is a structure

What is a a Structure

Structure is basically a type of object or building made out of multiple parts to support it.

So if we take a simple table for example, a table wouldn't be able to stand on it's own without the help of the pegs (the long thick sticks under the table).  

Ikea - Ingo Table

Types of Structures

Shell Structure

Shell structure is the type where all the strength is on the outside and sometimes they are usually light. Lets take a plastic shopping bag for example, so a shopping bag works by holding your shopping's inside the bag with it being lightweight and strong.

 

Indiamart - Blue plastic bag

Frame Structure

My meaning of a frame structure is that types of materials in different shapes like beams or slabs are to support the load of something, like a house but there are some houses where it's not made out of a frame structure. If you watch some TV shows about house building or you just bust a hole in your wall you will mostly see wooden beams and that is the frame structure that is holding the load of our houses.

Natural Structures



My meaning for natural structures is stuff made by something other than humans, like Bees, Mountains, Nature, Leafs and a lot more. For example stuff like spider webs or honeycombs, they're not made by us humans but another type of species.

Science - Refraction

Investigating Refraction - Bending Light

Aim: To investigate how light is affected by changing the substance it is travelling through.

Equipment: Ray Box, power source, glass or perspex block, single-slit ray slide.

Method: Collect the equipment from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.

Part A: We had to place a glass block on the book protractor on the bottom side and see what was the angle of refraction. Here are our results

10 Degrees - 8

20 Degrees - 15

30 Degrees - 20

40 Degrees - 25

Part B: is just the opposite, glass block on top of the protractor

10 Degrees - 5

20 Degrees - 15

30 Degrees - 20

40 Degrees - 75

Music - NZ Musical Artist

This term at music we had to researched about a New Zealand music artist. Me and my partner decided to research about Lorde, a female singer.

We have done our work in a Google Slide

Science - Reflection and Refraction

This week our task was to try and explain reflection and refraction. And we had to find two photos of explaining both of the words and we have to label one of the pictures.

So I think Refraction is where something goes through and while reflection just bounces off.

So here are the definitions on both of the words

Reflection: Something bouncing off a body or surface of light, heat and sound without absorbing it.

Refraction: Refraction is the change of wave propgation due to a change in its transmission medium.
