Math and Science Project

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.

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.
