Project

AIM: The aim of this project was to find the area of a floor plan we chose. We had to find out the current and voltage of our light bulbs in our house. 

Method: I have two bedrooms and one bathroom. The template chosen is plan C.

The amount of bulbs I have is 10, the bulbs are all throughout my house. 

Results: I have 5 pathways for my circuit with an area of 150.3175msquared. The areas of each room

Bed1: 28m^2

Bed2: 12m^2

Bathroom: 12m^2

Entrance: 25m^2

Triangle: 7.5m^2

Semicircle: 9.8175m^2

Kitchen/Living: 36m^2

___________________________________________________

The voltage of pathway one is 200V with one lightbulb. Pathway two, each of my lightbulbs is 66.67V,

pathway three is 50V on each bulb,

pathway 4 200V and the same with the last pathway. 

The total current of my house: 28.67

Discussion:

Voltage is the amount of energy given by the “source” or battery. 

Current is the rate of flow by electrons. 

Resistance is about pushing back, if you change the resistance on your light bulb the more resistance the slower the electrons. 

______________________________________________________

- What are fuses? Fuses are electrical devices that interrupt the flow of the current. It blows up when too much current flows through it. 

- How are fuses used in a house? Fuses are used to blow up when too much current flows in it, this is because it will prevent a fire. 

_______________________________________________________

The way I found the voltage of the light bulbs was by dividing the voltage from the battery by the number of light bulbs I have on each pathway/lane of the circuit. The calculations make sense because 200/4 is 50 so the amount of V in each bulb on line three is 50. 

I enjoyed doing this project because I like mathematics and physics. Learning about VIR is very interesting because I have not really heard much about this. I would not do anything differently because I am happy with the outcome of this project. Choosing a floor plan and calculating the area was the easiest part of it all as I have done that before. I didn’t know anything about VIR before learning about it so it was slightly difficult until you learn the formulae of each perspective. 

Vocab words in sentences

Grammar worksheet

WORKSHEET 1 ~ Grammar

All these sentences were written by people from social media, we now have to correct these sentences to have proper grammar and vocabulary. The way we write on social media is very different to the way we write in "English classes." 

1. TIRED!!! physical therapy in the morning... im done for the day. as soon as Madison is

home from girl scouts hoping i can sleep...!

-  I have physical therapy in the morning. I'm so tired and done for the day, as soon as Madison is home from girl scouts I hope I can sleep. 

2. me an my boo at the movie 2 cute

- My partner and I are at the movies, it is too cute. 

3. you look so happy! great pic

- That is a great picture, you look so happy!

4. u should of call me if you need something

- You should call me if you need something. 

5. im single and im gonna love it, fred and i are getting a divorced he put a restraining order on

me, he needs help.

- I am single and going to love it. Fred and I are getting a divorce, he put a restraining order on me. He needs help. 

6.  thank you everyone ill be ok

- Thank you everyone I will be okay. 

Quotation marks ~ Punctuation

Quotation marks are used to mark the start and ending of a title or quoted passage. Quotation marks signal that the words between the marks are the actual words said by the speaker. 

Examples of quotation mark writing:

1.  "Hello, how are you?" they said. 

2. My favourite quote from a song is, "Happy Birthday to you."

3. "Have you finished your homework?" said the teacher. 

4. "Do not take her laptop!" she screamed. 

5.  "Time is money," said Benjamin Franklin. 

How resistance affects current?

Resistance slows down the current, current is how quickly the electrons move. 

Voltage means: how much energy electrons are carrying. 

Electrons carry the energy around. If your electrons are not moving there is no energy. 

PARTS OF CIRCUIT:

• Wire : it transfers the electrons. The wire connects the components on a circuit so they can pass on electricity.

•  Battery: it produces the electricity/energy source. 

• Switch: a switch turns on and off.

• Fuse: if there is too much energy going through a circuit the fuse breaks. A fuse stops the flow of electrons if it is going too fast.

• Resister: slows down the flow of electrons. 

A series circuit is one path (all of the components are in a single loop) and a parallel circuit has many paths. 

- In a parallel circuit the current is split and the opposite with series circuit.  

Resistance is about pushing back. A higher resistance the current is slower . A lower resistance the current is faster.

Current (I) is measured in AMPS

Voltage (V) is measured in volts 

Resistence (R) is measured in ohms. 

 

So when we add resistance into a circuit the current slows down eg. if we have a light bulb and we make the resistance lower the light bulb will be brighter because the current is faster so less resistance makes current go faster.

Social media.

In Health we were set a task that required us to choose a topic and evaluate the situation. The topic we chose was The effects of Social Media. Firstly we had to chose 6 Big Questions and follow the instructions to answer them. From there the 6 big questions we chose were...

Why would someone be strongly against social media,

What are the long term effects of social media,

Who is responsible for the effects of social media,

How do the effects begin,

When and how did this become an issue,

What are the mental effects of social media.

From these questions, we have made an essay that includes the work we have been doing these past months.

Next time I will work more constantly and be more creative with our activities. The thing we are most proud of is our essay.

Our planning sheet

*essay:

Effects of social media 

1.When and how did this become an issue?

Social media media became an issue when people started to over use social media platforms and started to misuse it. 

Examples of misuse of social media: sending/posting inappropriate content, slandering, criticizing, cyber bullying, being mean, fake news, etc. 

(there are also good things on social media)

2.Who is responsible for the effects of social media?

We believe that the people/person responsible for the effects of social media are the users themself, because most people know the effects of social media and yet still use it quite a lot. It is the user's choice to use how-ever much time they spend on social media and what activities they do. Regardless of the outcome the people who still use social media to a certain extent face consequences/effects of social media.

3.Why would someone strongly be against social media?

There are a few reasons why someone could be strongly against social media. 

The main reason is because social media affects our wa hauora(wellbeing). 

Because of social media people start to feel insecure about themselves, how they look, act, speak and about what content is posted.

4. How do the effects begin?

The effects of social media can usually begin through social media influencers, friends, other peoples opinion on social media and from the feed that we see.  

5.What are the mental effects of social media?

Social media affects our feelings. Social media can cause trauma because there are lots of things that happen on social media, there are things that are inappropriate, heartbreaking, cruel, disgusting, and more. 

Some of the effects can be: 

• Depression

• Self esteem issues

• Addiction(only relying on social media) 

• Self harm 

3 ways to improve and manage the effects of social media. 

Strategy 1:

Setting a time limit on your social media usage.

Taha hinengaro, taha whanau, taha tinana, taha wairua. The strategy will improve all areas of your well being because…

Mental: you will have more time to grow your brain out of social media usage . 

Physical:Because you get out more and not just living through your phone.

Family:Because you socialize face to face. Verbal communication. 

Spiritual: because we will concentrate on our thoughts and emotions and try to get a better understanding of then (emotions//self) 

If you have control over your thoughts and emotions, setting a time limit on your social media usage could last short term because you can control yourself and not be addicted as much to social media. It would be the opposite for the long term.

You are responsible for your own actions and responsible if the strategy might not work . 

Strategy 2:

Get involved in extracurricular activities.

Physical and mental. 

Physical: being physically involved in sports, etc.. helps your brain grow, reduce anxiety and help you become more “fit”. It is a way to have your mind away from all the ruckus happening on social media. 

Mental: Studies show that getting involved in extracurricular activities helps your brain progress and function better.

This strategy is a long term effect because you could enjoy the activity and become more involved, which would help you physically and mental. 

You are responsible because you decide what activity you choose and how much you contribute to it.

Strategy 3:

Having time for yourself and catch up with others

Mental: By doing this you will build more knowledge  

Family: visiting family and friends. This will help strengthen your relationships and improve your social abilities.

Spiritual: getting to know yourself and focusing on your beliefs.

Physical: getting involved in activities that involve family/group work

This is a long term strategy in which you need to remember that you need to take care of yourself(believe in yourself and your beliefs) and not let go of people that care for you and that you care for.

Everyone is responsible for their own actions and if you don't make time for yourself  or to hang out with friends/socialize it is your problem to fix it.
