What did I do?

We build a balloon car using ballon, straw, small wheels, metal stuff and a foam plate. We used is to learn Newton’s 3 laws of motion. We blown up the ballon and make it race against other balloon cars.

What did we learn?

We learned about Newton’s 3 laws. Newton’s 1st law stated that “an object at rest will stay at rest, an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”. We see this law in motion when we but the car down it will not move unless we pushes it or blow up the balloon and let it go. Newton’s 2nd law said that “the more mass of an object the more force it will take to accelerate it”. We can see this law in motion when we added more washers to the car and used the same amount of air and the distance it went decreased. Newton’s 3rd law says that “every action has an equal, opposite reaction”. This occurs when we put air in the balloon and let it go the balloon will let air out and move to the opposite direction of the air blow.

What worked?

The car worked out pretty good, is traveled pretty long. To make it happen we put the balloon and wheel at a perfect angle to make it travel a straight line. This went very well and traveled ten meters long.

What did not work?

The car didn’t go very fast and lost the race on the second round. This happened because we accidentally used the hot glue gun and burnt a hole on the car and slowed it down. We also could have made the car more airodynamic and would helped it go faster.

Personal Relevance

This balloon car was like a car in real life that needs more force to go faster. I see Newton’s 2nd law in real life when I push a shopping cart and add more stuff on it it will be harder to push. The laws helped me understand how the things around me moves and works.

What did I do?

I used my critical thinking skill to build the Indi robot and build the Gravitrax marble rollercoaster run.

What did I learn?

What worked?

What worked is that when the problem occurs I think about what changes I could make to make it work and make the marble roll to the end.

What did not work?

I did not use the trampoline that i wanted to because that plan wouldn’t work so i change the plan and it worked

What did I do?

I started with a paragraph and learned more about it then wrote another one.

What did I learn?

I learned how to analysis it and wrote two paragraph.for finding the traits, I first read the book and identify the traits and then i skim and scan for the evidence and wrote it down so i can remember ir and even if i don’t i can see it on my note book. I also finished the whole book and that helped me to remembered it and write it on the assestment. I remebered most of it and wrote them on the assestment.

What worked?

I learn how to make it better and made a better paragraph at the end of the unit.

What did not work?

I did not put in a lot of details and it is boring

Personal Relevance

This could help me make better paragraphs and writing.

What we learned

We learn how to be safe in different conditions and safe other people

Why is it important to us?

we can learn how to be safe and help others

What went well in our group?

we worked together and performed it

What can be improved on next time?

we can be a bit more serious and not laugh that much

What is something I am are wondering about personal health and safety?

I want to know how to safe people that are drowned

What is my key takeaway (knowledge) you gained from the WHOLE unit?

how to safe people

Why have a digital portfolio at SAS?

Creating a portfolio, or blog is a great way to collect all the work you’ve done throughout your academic career. You can include academic, athletic, and personal artifacts or experiences that you want to share with a wider audience. This is a great way to organize all your learning in one place and you can take it with you when you leave SAS.  When you make your portfolio, you create posts that are categorized according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you, but if you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:

• An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category. Think of this as the first opportunity to engage and hook your reader!
• Body – this is where you share your learning. This should include a combination of text and media in the form of images, graphics, and embedded videos. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging and organized? Do they want to keep reading?
• Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
• Tags – create tags that can be used as keywords to describe your post. Tags help organize your post a little more! Aim to have 3-5 tags for each post. For example, if you are posting about a novel you wrote, you might want the following tags: #Fiction, #MurderMystery, #Theme, #PlotDiagram
