Science: Car speed experiment

Yesterday in science we have been learning how to calculate the speed from d/t. we used this to find out the speed of the cars on carmen road using seconds them from that converting them into kilometers. 

How did we do the experiment?

We worked either pair or groups of four to help record the speed using a stopwatch between the distance of two lamposts, (51m) of up to 10 cars, and compare their speeds to finds out if they were speeding or not.

What did we find out?

we found out from the investigation that all of the cars were either doing the speed limit and below. the fastest car had gone 49. 18 km hr-1.  The average time of the cars going past the first post to the second one was 4.24s.

A way to improve the results is to either put lines across the road where the lampposts are or, to stand further away from in-between the two posts so you can get a better view on where the car passes past the first post to the other one.

Some things that could've impacted the speed of the cars are us standing at the fence holding stopwatches timing them. Another impact is the traffic lights ahead at the intersection, this had of most likely impacted their speed causing them to slow down.

Art: Street Art Tonal drawing

 In Art, we chose from a heap of different street art to draw and I chose this skull. I did the drawing using a B pencil. and the shading consists of many lines and smudging of the pencil lines. I tried to get it as accurate as I could. (This is only in penicil so it won't look alike colorwise.)

SOST: Careers Inquiry.

In social studies, we have been learning about different careers. we were then to research a career that is of interest to me. I chose to research Crop workers. I found this interesting because plants are cool. here is some of the information I've found out.

Introduction to DTE

In DTE's introductory part we were given the task to search up the design process online and to chose from a couple of designs to get some inspirations from it this is what I've come up with. here the three designs that inspired me. and the design that I had come up with.

One of the Inspirations:

In DTE this week, we created an infographic about ergonomics using one of the following programs: Piktochart, Canva, Venngage. For this infographic, I used piktochart and using some of the already of the existing infographics online as a reference to give me some of the information and Ideas. Here is my simple plain infographic I came up with that no longer than 5-10 minutes.

Here is the infographic I used as I reference of design and some of the information I got.

          Critical reflection: Overall I think the introductory section was pretty easy to understand and pretty straight forward and easy.

What is a circuit?

What is a circuit? A circuit is path electricity flows along. it starts at a battery and flows through a copper wire to a light bulb or other object as it would flow through the other side of the battery/power source. the difference between series and parallel is the flow of electricity. as in a parallel circuit the electricity only goes on the way but in a series circuit, the electricity splits ups and passes the multiple points instead of one.

Show parallel + series circuit with 2 batteries 2 bulbs and a switch.

What is voltage? how does it differ in series vs parallel? a voltage is the pressure of an electrical circuit's power source that pushes the charged electrons through a current. 

What is current? how does it vary in series and parallel? Current is the rate of the flow of an electric charge passing a point or region.
