Passion Project 2018

My Logbook

19/11
Aim:  our aim is to come up with a project to work on

what have we been doing: We have come up with a plan to do an edible meteorite scenery. It shows Jelly as the water, crushed biscuits as sand and rocky road as the meteor.


22/11
Aim:  To get a box and plan out how we are going to make it.

what have we been doing: We have got the box and cut it in a way to make it shown.


26/11
Aim:  To paint the box and do a trial run on the edible aspect.

what have we been doing: We painted half of the box and made jelly and crushed up the biscuits and put it into a small box.

Rock cycle

The Rock Cycle is a group of changes. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock Or, igneous rock can form above ground, where the magma cools quickly.

To make a building earthquake proof, put shear walls a shear core, and cross-bracing as it gives extra additional strength.

These are a list of things that make a home earthquake proof:

• External walls are 6 inches thick. 
• Steel bars on the inside of walls.
• Reinforced concrete as the foundation.
• Hard soil under the home.
• Steel bars in the roof.

during this period we researched on how the port jills wildfire started

we drew a diagram of the prosses of how a wildfire started

Yellowstone Caldera

Yellowstone The oldest identified caldera near McDermitt, Nevada–Oregon,  Yellowstone super-volcano is one of the most dynamic sites on earth, this volcano would be devastating for the United States as an estimated 87,000 people would be killed instantly and two-thirds of the U.S land would be destroyed 

Millions of years ago, a source of immense heat known as a hotspot formed in the Earth's mantle below what today is Yellowstone. Roughly 600,000 years ago, the hotspot pushed a large plume of magma toward the Earth's surface. This caused the crust to just upward.

Introduction to the lathe

Lathes

in metal tech, we have been introduced to the Lathe, the lathe is a machinery that  does, cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, and facing.

Different types of tools used on the Lathe

• Carbide tip tools
• Grooving tool
• Cut-Off blade
• Parting blades
• Boring bar
• Side tool

Safety

• Wear appropriate safety glasses. ...
• Ensure entanglement hazards are removed (e.g. loose clothing, jewellery, etc.)
• Keep the floor free from obstructions, or slip hazards.
• Ensure that lathe has a start/stop button within easy reach of the operator.

Our aim in science is to throw a paper plane over the arch and to fly the furthest 

1. Fold the paper in half vertically.
2. Unfold the paper and fold each of the top corners into the center line.
3. Fold the top edges into the center line.
4. Fold the plane in half toward you.
5. Fold the wings down, matching the top edges up with the bottom edge of the body. 
6. Add double stick tape to the inside of the body The finished plane should look like this

Great Wall Of China

The Last Complete Ming Great Wall took Over 2,000 years, many imperial dynasties and kingdoms built, rebuilt, and extended walls many times that subsequently eroded. The latest imperial construction was performed by the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), and the length was then over 6,000 kilometres (3,700 miles).

The wall in Inner Mongolia required more than 1,000,000 men to build. Besides the first 300,000 soldiers, Qin's wall required another 500,000 common people to complete the work. Criminals were forced into labour as punishment.

how has writing changed over time

Over time writing changed and the signs turned into a script which is called cuneiform. Over thousands of years Mesopotamian scribes recorded daily events, trade, astronomy, and literature on clay tablets. Cuneiform was used by people by the ancient Near East to write several different languages.

Elder Futhark is thought to be the oldest version of the Runic alphabet, and was used in the parts of Europe which were home to Germanic peoples, including Scandinavia. Other versions probably developed from it. The names of the letters are shown in Common Germanic, the reconstructed ancestor of all Germanic languages.

I WONDER IF THERE IS A MULTIVERSE

The multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple separate universes including the universe in which humans live in some believe that there are infinite universes in space   

                                                                  

AIM: TO INVESTIGATE THE FACTORS THAT CAUSE RUSTING IN IRONEQUIPMENT: FOUR TEST TUBE, TEST TUBE RACKS, A BUNG, FOUR IRON NAILS,BOILED WATER,TAP WATER,SALTY WATER, COOKING OIL,CALCIUM CHLORIDE.METHOD: 1.LABEL FOUR TEST TUBES A-D AND PLACE IN A TEST TUBE RACK.2. TEST TUBE CONTENTS A= IRON NAIL AND TAP WATERB= IRON NAIL AND SALTY WATER C= IRON NAIL, BOILED WATER, OILD= IRON NAIL AND CALCIUM CHLORIDE. SEALED WITH A BUNG.3. LEAVE THE TEST TUBES UNDISTURBED FOR AT LEAST THREE DAYS.

why is god of war 4 called god of war

The decision not to put a 4 at the end was deliberate. The seven games they did in the Greek era marking the eras of God of War and the mythologies they exploring, Kratos moving to the Norse era is a kind of B.C. to A.D. changeover. It almost resets the clock. Both Kratos and the team are kind of refreshing and re-imagining cleaning the slate. Kratos is our through line our constant through all of it, but otherwise we’re starting from scratch. A number would take away from that. It would seem like just another sequel.

Carbon dioxide experiment

Aim: To show that carbon dioxide gas is produced when a metal carbonate reacts with acid.

Method:

1. Light your Bunsen burner
2. Ass a 'pea-sized' amount of metal carbonate into one of the boiling tubes.
3. place the boiling tube into a test tube rack. Ensure you have the bung and delivery tube ready
4. Add 5 mL of acid to the boiling tube and quickly insert the bung and delivery tube into the mouth of the boiling tube.
5. Holding the other boiling tube with your tongs, capture the gas produced as shown in the diagram below.
6. When you think the tube is full, your lab partner should light a wooden splint
7. Carefully remove the boiling tube from under the delivery tube, taking care to keep it facing upright
8. Insert the burning splint into the mouth of the test tube.
