Kinetic vs Potential energy Experiment

 

WALT: Make and document a science experiment that defined and showcased Kinetic and Potential Energy.

My friend Liam and I made an educational video about Kinetic Vs Potential energy, in this experiment we made a Paper Plane launcher using a rubber band, the rubber band was pulled back, causing the potential energy to be harnessed, once it was let go and the plane was flown that Potential energy was transformed into motion.

I enjoyed it because it was hands-on work and it was fun to make and use, I found it difficult to find a plane design we liked and wanted to use.

How does Wind & Sun affect your daily life?

 

WALT: Create an informative Brainstorm with collective ideas which gather how sun and Wind affect your daily life.

I made a Brainstorm that defined the underlying and most common types of things that are affected by the Sun and Wind energy. This Brainstorm gave you a few examples of how the Sun and Wind affect some people's daily lives and gives some activities that it is used in and how they are enhanced; and how some are hindered.

Give this a try yourself and blog it, leave some feedback in the comments below.

What activites require the Power of the Wind and Sun?

WALT: Create a Brainstorm that defines what Activities you do that engage the Energy of the Wind and the Sun.

I had to create a brainstorm that brought together all of the ideas that I could think of when it came to what activities harness the Wind and or Sun, have a read; then leave me some feedback in the Comments.

I found it easy to do it since I just thought off the top of my head and wrote them, it wasn't challenging, have a go and see if you can do the same as I did, gather all of your ideas and blog them.

Tidy Drive

 WALT: Learn how to keep your documents filed in a folder and to keep your Drive tidy.

For this Cybersmart challenge, I had to make a slideshow that determined the contents of the Folders in a man called "John's" Drive, I had to file some of John's work into the correct folders after that had happened we had to circle the Untitled documents and the ones not named correctly (Without his name before it.)

I hope you learned something from this work and hope you can leave a comment below with feedback.

Energy Word Map

 

WALT: Create a Word Map describing 2 or more different types of energy.

For one of our T-Shaped Literacy activities we had to make a digital word map that showcased 2 or more different types of energy, what they do and an image of them; the energies I chose were Solar, Thermal, and Nuclear Energy (Put Chemical by accident.) This drawing explained what the energy uses were and how to use them. We had to describe the definition and also give a description of what it was.

I found it easy to do most of it as all of the information was ready to look at and easy to convey to the audience. It wasn't very hard to find the facts and I also had prior knowledge relating to it.

Please enjoy the drawing and leave me some feedback in the comments.

Chemical spill in Manakau

 WALT: Research and create an informative Google Drawing showcasing a current event in time.

This post is about a recent chemical spill that happened a few weeks ago in Manakau Harbour, you can get all of the information from this post, if you want to cite my sources then leave a comment and I will get back to you.

I found it easy to receive and find this information as it was quite a mainstream event with severe effects, damaging the surrounding area and infecting the water with harmful chemicals. I found it difficult to get a few images and some of the sources didn't clarify what exactly happened.

I hope you enjoy the post, learn something and hope you can leave me a comment down below on what I can do to improve.

Energy Mobile

 

For our T-Shaped Literacy, we also made a Mobile that showcases the different symbols of energy and gives a diagram of them. It shows the different types of common energy and a drawing to go with it. I found it easy because I just traced all the images, what I found challenging was making it, since I had a lack of materials and the cardboard kept sagging, so I let it droop.

WALT: Make a Mobile to showcase the different forms of Energy.

Energy Rap Song

For our T-Shaped Literacy, my friend Harlem and I made an educational based rap song and music video that related back to energy. It explained the different types of energy and gave a few brief descriptions of how the energy worked, what the different types were; shows images of the different types of energy and also gave you examples of energy and how t save it.

WALT: Create a Rap song about Energy
