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: 5.30m
2nd marble: 1.50m
3rd marble: 5.11m        


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.

Princess Diana

Princess Diana
Diana Spencer was not born a princess,she did not even become lady Diana until she was
13 years old, when her grandfather died, and her
father became earl Spencer. Although  the Spencer were one of the oldest and
the richest families in Britain
. Their family had lived on the same estates at althorp in northamptonshire for 500 years.


Diana grew to be proud of her Spencer background, but as a small child it meant little to her.
Her childhood was spent at park house in Norfolk. She loved the comfortable , rambling older
house, surrounded by
rolling fields and woods, where she played with her two older sisters,Sarah and June , and
her younger brother, Charles


But when Diana was just 7 years old when a terrible shadow was a cast across her life.
Her parents divorced and her mother moved away to London. Diana felt abandoned and helpless.
she never forgot the sound of her mother's car driving away that night. She hoped that her own
children would never suffer a similar distress.


When her father divorced he decide to remarry with his second wife, Raine.
Diana worshipped her father but was really upset when he decide  to remarry in 1974


Diana’s  first school was in kings Lynn, a town near her home. Though The classes were small
and the teachers very caring , Diana always found school life difficult. Unlike her brother Charles,
she did not shine in her work.she became quiet and shy, though she was especially kind and
helpful to young children Here is the Althorp to witch Diana's family moved when  she
Was just 14. She found it spooky,like an old man's club, full of clocks  ticking.


But all of this happy stories Diana found a prince and were happy they had 2 children named
harry and William was the oldest was born 21 June 1982 than two years earlier came harry who
was born 15 September 1984 who lived happily ever after til, they divorced and not long after that
Diana passed away in a car crash 31 august 1997 in the pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, France
her boyfriend Dodi fayed and the diver died instantly Diana had severe chest damage and was
rushed to the hospital that night and died earlier on that Sunday.

Technicraft

Technicraft science
Things we used
Burning meths
Match's
Sauces
Damp cold cloth
Tripod
Gas mat
Balloon
Flask
Ice cube
1.Put the burning meths under the tripod
2.Put the gas mat on top of the tripod
3.Put the flask on top of the gauze mat
4. Get an ice cube if it does not fit in the flaze
then rub the ice
cube in the palm of your hand to make it smaller
drop it in the flaze
5. Get the balloon and stretch it to make it bigger
then pop it over
the flaze
6. Light the meths burner and observe
Tips
If you stretch the balloon your stretching the
polymer so that it
does pop.
If the ice cube is to big rub it between your palm
Put the saucer, matches and cold damp
cloth on your working
hand side so that it is ready to grab.


What I learned
I learned that when cold air
touches hot air the
cold air wants to get out of there
so it tries to get
up and out of the glass which creates
air to make
the balloon grow my all growed
so much it burst.
I think that doing this
experiment was fun
because it was interesting
talking about
condensation and other things
that i did not
know about.
