Have you ever designed your own track?

Today we conducted a mathematical investigation that involved
properties of physics.

Purpose: To Design a prototype to investigate the distance one glass marble could roll on a hard surface.

(Create a device which is going to propel on class marble to see how
far it will go.) [measure distance]


Materials:
  • 1.5 metre of masking tape.
  • 3  metre wooden ruler.
  • 3-4 glass marbles.
  • Chalk


Predictions:
1st marble: 5.30
2nd marble: 1.50
3rd marble: 5.11        


Method
Two rulers were taped together diagonally using the masking tape.
Once secure, the prototype was taken outside to the court area to
provide a concrete surface for the marble to roll on.


Our  prototype ( track) was elevated 440mm, by placing  the track
into one of the fence gaps. We rolled the marbles down the track to
investigate the distance it would travel.
Results:
1st Marble: 3.20m
2nd Marble: 2.22m
3rd Marble 2.48m


Conclusion:

That the higher the elevation of the ruler (our track) the further
the distance of the marble will travel. The power that was created by
the elevation is the physics in our investigation.

Science is the best!

In tecnicraft we went to science!


In science we were learning to make a hot air balloon.


We used a:
  • Meths Burner
  • Tripod
  • Matches
  • Gauze mat
  • Balloons
  • Flask
  • Ice

First,
We made the tripod stand.
Then we put the Gauze mat on the top. We put the Meths
burner under the  mat and tripod and lit it up.


After that I was told to give out the ice cubes, the ice cubes
couldn’t fit in the flask so we rubbed it between our hands and
it started to melt ( it was really cold). When it was able to
fit we put a balloon, it on top of the tripod.
For a few seconds it didn’t grow, but as a few minutes
came it grew and grew. The air made the balloon grow.


The balloon was was very big. After that we put out the fire and
watched as the balloon start to deflate.
