Science - Land Yachts

For the last few weeks in Science we have been learning about land yachts. We have also been learning about aerodynamics, speed, distance and time. I have learnt about how to measure the speed of a vehicle by dividing the distance and time together to get the speed. In the last few weeks we did a experiment where we have been making our own land yacht that we had to race with the groups to see who had the faster speed. For my group what we got for the distance was 1.7m and our time was 7.3s. Then we had to calculate 1.7m divide by 7.3s and the speed we got was 4.2km/h. 

Aim: To be able to get the fastest speed calculating the distance and the time using the land yacht you have created.

Method:

- Make your own land yacht using the materials that has been given to you from your teacher.

- Put down the measuring tape on the concrete to measure the distance.

- Get the leaf blower and plug it in ready to be used.

- Put your land yacht down behind a straight line ready to race.

- Get your phone out ready with a timer.

- Race: When you start the timer use the leaf blower to blow your land yacht straight away. When the land yacht stops then stop the timer and write down the time.

- Finale: Figure out where the land yacht had stopped on the measuring tape and write it down with the time. Now calculate the distance and the time that you got.

Result: Our distance was 1.7 meters and our time was 7.3 seconds. We have to divide them together to get our speed. Our speed was 4.2km/h.

How to calculate:

v = d/t

v = (speed) d (distance) t (time)

Conclusion: The air passed through the bow in the front of the yacht. The air goes through the sail / plastic bag and then the air moved the land yacht.

Social Studies - Personal Rubbish Diary

Today in Social Studies we had to create our own graph about the rubbish that we kept track of over the last three days at home. I forgot to keep track of the rubbish so the people that forgot had to copy the data from A, B or C on the google slide on my teachers site. The graph that I have created has the FAULTSPK that you need to have the graph finished. FAULTSPK stands for frame, axis, units, labels, title, scale, plot and key. 

What can be done to reduce what goes in your rubbish bins?

- Your family can be aware about what they buy and the package that it comes in. The products you buy should be more recyclable than general waste. All food scraps in your house hold should be in compost bins.  

Where was the majority of your waste going? Organics, Recycling or rubbish?

- Since I didn't end up keeping track of my rubbish and I was using the given results on the google slide I had to roughly decide where the majority of the rubbish is going. The majority of the rubbish was going inside the recycling bins because maybe mostly of the food packaging that they got was recyclable. 

Did you find one day had more waste than another day? Why was this?

- On the graph it was shown that on day three there was the most total pieces of rubbish going into the bins. On day two there was more general rubbish than there was more of organics.
