Technological practices

LI: To use technological practices process to design a toy.

For Mrs Fisi’iahi’s Inquiry lesson, we were focusing on the three last technological processes. They were: build, test and evaluate. We used the required materials in order to build the AUV rover. After this, we tested and compared each group’s rover to see which group was able to scramble across the floor the furthest. Evaluating our results was the last step.

I found this activity interesting for me to learn about.

Inquiry Shelters

 Emergency Shelters

The inquiry task was to write down the materials that are needed for the storm shelter that is going to be built.                                                       

In total there are 9 materials that could protect against storm shelter. There are three main materials that are important to use for protecting the shelter and which are concrete, chicken wires, and rubber bracelets. We chose concrete because it is not easy to break apart. We chose chicken wires because it can keep the shelter stable. We chose rubber bracelets because it can stop electricity.

The other six materials are: cotton balls, aluminum, popsicle sticks, duck tape, hard plastic, and steel.  All 9 materials are important for defending the shelter and could be useful for something in danger.

We figured out the amount was because we drew the shelter and drew our materials. We kept on filling the whole until it was finished. For example: For concrete, the height is 18cm and the width is 20cm. There are four walls and the floor. So there are five and five places to use the concrete. That’s how we figured out the concrete can be used.

Emergency shelters are really important when it comes to floods and different kinds of storms.

LI.how to learn about rube goldberg.



for inquiry my group and i was learning about how Rube Goldberg used to decided to make
machine and other staff that says in the slide's.
In the slides me and my group was doing each slides like,who,what,when,where,why & how.
One each person dose one slide and each all of us has to do a slide so i did [how],and after you finished writing your slide you had to put picture's in the slide's and then we were done.
