Rights and Responsibilities

This week in maths we were learning about business studies. We had to design a business plan and execute it. After we all made robust plans, we had to pitch them to the class and the best one won. I hope you like looking at our plan. If you had a business what would you do?

UV Light and How It Works

Walt: Make a presentation about UV sensors.

Task Description: The above is my a presentation about UV Lights and How It Works. It solves some of the most burning questions about UV and solves some myths about it too. The reason we have to make this presentation is because it is related to making a UV sensor, which is our other project for Term 4 Extension.

Coningsby : A weird adventure

A long time ago there was a place called Coningsby, a place with no rules and a place which looked like a radioactive wasteland. Coningsby was a place made by the government of the country Ambrosia to see how people will behave in a post-apocalyptic situation.

Jordyn was a young man who was talented in parkour and knew the ins and outs of parkour while his friend Marcus knew the basics of survival. Marcus used his survival skills to tell Jordyn what to do and Jordyn used his parkour skills to do it. Together, Jordyn and Marcus worked to get food, water and tools. Months passed and they found other groups who were also like them, finding resources but they just waved and went along their journey.

Jordyn and Marcus were always afraid of the NoJacks, a gang which killed anyone they saw and didn’t care about their own lives. They were reckless and cause chaos wherever they went.

On an unlucky day, Jordyn and Marcus found the NoJacks marching where they were going and tried to hide. They knew that if the NoJacks found them, they wouldn’t escape alive. They hid in a garbage bin, as unhygienic as it was, they knew that the NoJacks wouldn’t suspect anyone hiding in a garbage bin. Unfortunately for them, they made too much noise while hiding and got caught.

They tried to run away but they were no match against the NoJackers, They were killed mercilessly and they woke up. Turns out Coningsby was a test ground to see how people would behave but if someone died they could go back home with their family. Unfortunately for the NoJacks who will never die because of the amount of resources and power they have, they will never be able to return back home.

Genomics with Dr. Thierry

Today, Dr. Thierry told us about different chromosomes and how different genes affect us. We had to pair different chromosomes with their colour. We also learned that there are 46 Chromosomes ( 23 Pairs ) and that it is 100 Million base pairs long. There are 20,000 Genes.

Term 3 Cell Animation DLO

During Term 3, the students in Team 5 made a Cell Animation which explains different parts of a cell and their functions. This animation took me about 6 weeks to complete and was very hard at the start, but once I started using some techniques I was able to complete the last 80% of it in 1 week.

 I completed the animation and I took screenshots of it and shared it to myself in Google Drive from where I was able to complete the script, record the voiceover and edit the video and audio in 2 hours at home.Now, that I know how to do the work, I think I can do all of it in a few days.

I also had to research a lot for the facts and the components of organelles since I had to find some interesting facts. I would say the easiest part would be the voiceover, which took me about 8 minutes per paragraph because of mistakes but during the end I was able to say everything in one go. For the editing, I just had to extend or reduce the video and cut the mistakes from the voiceover and then export to my drive.

Reflecting on my Maths this year

This year,

Year Reflection Maths Room 4

Learning the D'hammerschmiedsgselln

This week Lennox,me, Hopa and Damien learnt the D'hammerschmiedsgselln. It is a dance that involves some complex combination of hand moves and the dance could be easily ruined if one person messes up. There are 2 pairs in a group and each pair starts on different moves. While learning the dance I found out that while one group has their hands up the other group's will be down and vice versa.

What makes a good sibling?

Do you think you are a good sibling? Well if not, then here are the main qualities of a good sibling that you can look up to. A good sibling is Obedient, Cheerful and shows initiative.

A good sibling is obedient which means that they listen to people around them. They don’t get upset when they have to do more work. For example, an employee working on extra tasks that his boss gave to him.

An admirable sibling is cheerful. They enjoy their time and don’t get upset about little things. They smile all the time and make people around them happy. For example, a boy not sad about raining on a rugby game.

A great sibling shows initiative which means they do work even when not told to. They complete their tasks on time. For example, A person doing chores without being told by their parents.

So in conclusion, to be a good sibling you have to listen to your parents, you have to be joyful and you should complete work without being told to.

What makes a good leader?

Do you think you have got what it takes to be an effective leader? Well if not, then here is how to be an effective leader. An effective leader is cooperative,is honest and is also courageous.

Firstly, an effective leader is cooperative which means they work well with their group and don’t exclude anyone. For example, a boss would tell ALL of his employees about an upcoming project and work with his employees to distribute their work.

Secondly, a leader is honest with his team members. They give their honest opinion about someone’s work and gives them constructive criticism. For example, a boss could tell his employee if his work is not as good as he envisioned and suggest him where to improve.

Lastly, a leader is courageous. They are willing to take risks knowing that they can fail. For example, A phone company could launch another type of product like a laptop that the customers may not be used to, knowing that the product has a very high chance of failure.

So in conclusion, to be an effective leader you have to be a good team worker, truthful and you have to be brave.

Attitude Talk

2 days ago, Team 5 had an attitude talk in which tony from Attitude talked about how to Tackle Technology. He told us about how kids are willing to talk to people online more than willing to talk to people in real life. He told us that people can act like a 12 year old even though they could be 20 years old and there could be no way of knowing. People could also be mean to you and there could be no way of knowing.
