Summer Learning Journey

 This lesson we are learning how to use the summer learning journey website. These are some of the ones I have done in the time our teacher ha asked us to do it.

 

Business and Enterprise

Business and Enterprise Kete was a big project for the year 7-9 to sell and create products of our choice.

Our group name was Glass Designs, and we made glass frames with different paintings on them such a cartoon characters like stitch, Patrick star, bugs bunny, and some others.

Firstly our group planned out where we were going to get our glass from with a budget of 20$. For $20 we got 16 frames and each person in our group got 4 each. I made bus bunny, stitch, Patrick star, and the three bare bears. When we were done we made a poster for our table and then we were done.

Some of the jobs I specifically had was to sort the final decisions, make sure to update Miss Taylor, and make sure everything is going well.

What were you learnings?

Some of my learning was how to paint onto glass, how different pen worked on glass (what worked best), how to partly run a business, how pre order works, and some other things.

How Important were your decisions?

My decisions were pretty important because I was the CEO of our group and I had to make the final decision to tell the teacher what was happening and how we are going to do things.

Do you think you were successful?

I think we were successful because we sold out and everything was gone pretty quick. On top of that we made a profit of at least $40.

Do you believe you upheld the CARR values our our school?

I think I upheld the CARR values because our group rotated who got to stay at the table and who got to look around fairly, and when I was done I helped my friends group sell as well. I also upheld the Carr Values well because I was being sensible and I was usually either looking at the other businesses, helping the group (Christmas in a Candle) or just sitting down with my friends on the artificial grass.

 

Pasifika Art

 Instead of hurumanu we are doing passions projects. One of the lines i chose was Pasifika Art. For that line we are creating our own designs and creating our own stories with our drawings. 

What is technology?

Technology has changed the way we use it from the past to now. It is now so much easier to use and it is a lot more accessible to everyone.

Technology matters because it makes our lives easier, it benefits others, its safer and more secure, and it is a lot faster than life before technology was developed.

My evidence that Technology is now a lot easier to use is... 

-Transportation is a lot safer and faster to use:walking-cars-planes

-Communication is a lot easier and faster:Talking-Letters-calling-emailing

-Learning: listening and remembering-writing in a book-typing on a Chromebook

-Sustainability: jars and boxes-plastic and glass-biodegradable materials

-Delivery: carried on head-sent through the mail as a package-sent from oversies

Technology 

(perswasive writting)

Technology is the sum of any techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation It's very important to people now a days because it helps us with our day to day life and makes it easier. Some of the different ways technology has developed its in transportation, tracking, communication, safety, machines, and learning.

Technology has developed so much in transportation. People used to have to walk everywhere, then up to 5500 years ago people started to travel on horses and donkeys. After that in the early 20th century cars became available for people to get. From then for a while cars where just being developed into better and safer to use. In 1914 after 28 years planes then became available to use for people as well as the better developed cars. Now a days there are big variety of different cars, bikes, and things to use for transport.

Another type of way technology has changed is in tracking and transport directions. Tracking has changed in multiple ways tracking you used to not be able to track people but now you can track people on apps you can download on your phone, you can put GPS in animals to keep them safe, and  you can put trackers on your things you don't want stolen.

Custom Led lights

Project overview:

Design and shape:

For the design and shape I have chosen the clear , the design. I am printing in the laser cutter is a spotify song code. For the leds I have chosen is two green. I won't have many words but I will have the song name, artist, play button, spotify code, skip buttons, like button, and the photo of the song cover. The outside shape of the Acrylic cut out will just be a rounded rectangle. 

The voltage and resistors my led will need is:

Resistor:

1st digit-Purple

2nd digit-Green

Multiplier-Black

Tolerance-Gold

Voltage: 3.5v

purple, then gree, then black, then gold on the end

I am going to be using a clear acrylic with a green led light. The design I am be going to be putting on the acrylic surface is:

Math and Science Project

 Report write up

Aim:What is the aim of this project?

The aim of this project was to showcase our math and science skills we have learned over the past weeks to our teachers.

Method:What template did you pick and how many light bulbs? What rooms did you give your house?

I chose the excellence template and I put 12 light bulbs in my house. The rooms I had in my house was a lounge, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, garage, dining room, and some other randoms (storage, hall, extra lounging room) 

Results: Area Ohm's Law calculations

Discussion:What do the terms voltage, current, resistance mean? How did you do the calculations? Do the calculations make sense?

Current means the flow of electricity, Voltage means the force of electrons, and resistance means the force against the current. I did the calculations by taking the knowledge i already know and working out the numbers that were missing.

Page of answers

Conclusion:Did you enjoy the project? Would you do anything differently if you were to do it again? Different level? Number of bulbs?

I enjoyed the project and I wouldn’t do anything differently. I liked the template I chose, and I didn't mind the amount of light bulbs I chose.

Some other working :

Area of house: 219m

Perimeter of house: 60.17m

Garden area: 30m

Garden Perimeter: 32m

The voltage and current of each light bulb in the house:

Light Bulbs voltage

1)	V=200 v R=25 o I=8 a	2)	V=66.7 R=25 I=2.7
3)	V=66.7 R=25 I=2.7	4)	V=66.7 R=25 I=2.7
5)	V=33.3 R=25 I=1.3	6)	V=33.3 R=25 I=1.3
7)	V=33.3 R=25 I=1.3	8)	V=33.3 R=25 I=1.3
9)	V=33.3 R=25 I=1.3	10)	V=33.3 R=25 I=1.3
11)	V=200 R=25 I=8

 

Bonus Inclusions

What is a fuse? How does it work?

A fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide over current protection of an electrical circuit. The way it works is the fuse breaks the circuit if a fault in appliance causes too much current flow. This protects the wiring and appliance if something goes wrong. The fuse contains a piece of wire that melts easily. If the current is going through the fuse is too great, the wire heats up until it melts and breaks the circuit. 

Design a back garden using different shaped area to equal 30m2. What vegetables would you plant in it for this time of the year? Why?

*Photo of garden is up in the photo of the house (blue outline)*

I would plant some celery, lettuce, and baby spinach because they can come in handy a lot. You can put them in burgers, wraps sandwiches, you can have it on its own, and you could eat it in many other ways.

Discuss what scientist invented the idea of electricity. How did he come up with the idea? When?

One of the people that should get the most credit for discovering electricity is Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin was one of the smartest scientists in his time. He was interested in many different areas of science including making discovery, inventing new things, including bifocal glasses. In the mid-1700s, he became interested in electricity. 

Ancient Roman Inventions.

 Lots of the ancient inventions have helped this generation in multiple different ways.

The Roman Inventions still matter a lot in these days because they are very well built and have been evolved into to different versions from the first made.

Some evidence that the Roman Inventions are really important and used still to this day are the aqueducts, arches used in structure building, roman numerals, and surgical tools (there are way more examples)

Overall Roman Inventions were so smart and helpful that they are still used to this day.
