Disappointing Parachute`

Kia Ora Bloggers

For or inquiry this term we have been working on engineering and our task was to answer some questions and this is it. We used String 2 bolts Green fabric cut on corners. We had a fairly big parachute it was 40 cm long and 32 cm wide we made it fairly big because that increases drag, and it will fall slower. We thought that we should add more fabric on the top but we realised that would make it heavier. Our design fell in 1.05 seconds, which isn't very good.  Here are some pictures.

We added more fabric on the bottom of the parachute so it keeps its shape.  When falling. We saw it fall slower, before we changed it it fell in 1 sec .5 when we changed it it fell in 2.00 seconds. We changed it one more time and added more fabric 1.44 it did bad so we took the new fabric off.

Spatial Number Patterns

Kia ora bloggers for this week he have been working on spatial and number patterns. We worked on doing input and output. Our task was to think of an input and output and everyone else tries to guess what the rule is. We made a an animation on google slides that showed a robot talking about our question. We had to make the input come out of one side of the robot and the output out the other side. Here is our wonderful presentation






I think we did pretty well with such a short amount of time. I did it with George and Harvey

Aurora Australis

Namaste bloggers.

For our Friday the last week of term we are working on the northern and southern lights. It would definitely be on my bucket list as it is one of the most beautiful things in the world. There are lots of different myths around the world of what it is and how it is caused but the real one is that it is little parts of the sun coming off only a few go through the magnetosphere. Here is my art

I hope you enjoyed it.

Pleasant Pattern

For our maths this week we worked on patterns and how to figure out the rule. Today we had to make our own pattern digitally or using multi-link cubes. Me and my partner George decided to make it out of diamonds. We made a pattern were it adds 4 every time. I think I did okay with the pattern. Here it is

I hope you like it.

Marvelous Matariki

Kia Ora bloggers.

For the past few Fridays we have been working on the one and only Matariki. We had multiple choices of how we want to show our learning and me and my partner chose to do a sock puppet. We had to make a script of who says what, We had to research about Matariki and its story and much more. I think overall I could have done a few things better but It is good. Here is my masterpiece.
