Energy Writing

During the last few weeks the whole class had to make an explanation writing on Energy. We had to have it finished and re-crafted on Wednesday and if we really need it on Thursday. I picked for my 3 topics Movement, Food and Transportation. We had to plan before we did our real writing. Our plan Layout was PEEL stands for Point, Evidence, Explanation and Link.

Why Energy Important In Everyday life

Without Energy we won’t be able to do anything. Energy powers the universe. Energy is a power source to life. Movement energy is in our everyday life. Transportation energy is what we use in our everyday life and Food and Drink is something we need.

Movement is important in our everyday life. The average adult has as much energy stored in fat as a one-ton battery. If you don’t have the energy you won’t be able to move. The human body was designed to be active and on the move all day long.  If you stop moving for an extended amount  of time is like telling your body it's time to shut down and prepare for death. Movement and Food is an important key in  our everyday life.

Energy comes from food and drink. How much energy you need is dependent on your gender, age, weight, and how active you are.  Men have to have roughly about 13 cups of total beverages a day. For women is about 9 cups of total beverages a day. The Protein, which is found in meat, milk products, beans and fish, builds muscles and repairs damage. Fats in milk products, meat and fish help your body build healthy nerves and fight off disease. We need food in our lives, but we also need transportation.

We use transportation in many modes the website: All We Need To Know says we use 58% of our lives using cars, light trucks and motorcycles in 2013, followed other trucks 23% aircraft 8%, boats and ships 4%, trains and buses 3%. Pipelines account for 4%. Transportation is important  if we don't have transportation we will be walking  all our lives.  People board public transportation 35 million times each weekday.

In Conclusion, Energy is our life. If we didn't move we are telling ourselves shut down and prepare for death if we didn't have food and water we would starve and if we didn’t have transport we would be walking all our lives.

Creating an Online Roller Coaster

 Today Amy was talking to my immersion group about kinetic and potential energy.  We had to create our own Roller Coaster online. We had to pick how we want to create it like the height of the first hill, the loop and the shape. At the end it shows us how we did by saying how safe it is and how fun it is which I got both THUMBS DOWN! every time I tried. I learned facts about wooden and steel, and how it  can be looping or nonlooping. There is a big difference in the ride depending on the type of material used. In general, wooden coasters are nonlooping. They're also not as tall and not as fast, and they don't feature very steep hills or as long  tracks as steel ones do. Wooden coasters do offer one advantage over steel coasters, assuming you're looking for palm-sweating thrills: they sway a lot more. Tubular steel coasters allow more looping, higher and steeper hills, greater drops and rolls, and faster speeds.

Immersion With Amy

Today With Amy we had to make a solar house, solar helicopter ( I think that is what it is called) or a solar roller coaster. I picked Solar house the hardest one and so did Maya, Kiera,Radha, Zarlia,Mikayla, Natasha and Emily. We had to build the house  by  reading the instructions and working as a team. At the end, we as a group had to decide if we wanted the windmill to move, the horn to horn or one more option but we picked the windmill to move. It was really fun. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO!

Science In The Van

The other week Science in a Van came to our school. When Elan and Emily (the scientist) arrived the first thing did was a trick where a jug was on top of a table cloth and they pulled it without the jug falling down. Then they came again, but only in front of LC7. Elan and Emily did a trick where they put a can into hot water and when they took the can out it was all scrunched up. Elan and Emily also did a colour changing experiment where they poured purple water, which was a red cabbage juice (they said it was magical✨) into another cup of water and it turned pink and they did it to another one but that one turned blue.  Behind the experiment in all the cups, it has different ingredients like in one cup it had lemon juice in another one they added vinegar in the last one add bleach cleaning.
