Science Fair Recount

Introduction: The reason we decided to make this product is because we are two cricketers and we have trouble always middling the bat (hitting the ball in the centre of the bat) and I’m sure there are many other cricketers that have the same trouble.  We wanted to create a bat that shows you when you have hit the ball in the centre.

Aim: To invent a cricket bat that shows you if you ‘middle’ it or not.

Possible Solution: #1 To create a bat with a tube in it with liquid and when the ball hits the button the liquid with go up and trigger the buzzer on the bat and one LED lights up on the top of the bat.

#2 We could paint the cricket bat black and then smother the ball in chalk and then we would see where we hit the ball, however there is not much technology involved in this so we decided not to do it.

It will need:

Logo sticker(fluro yellow C*J).

Wood(english willow) .

Grip(fluro yellow tape grip).

black paint.

wires.

Buzzer.

pressure switches x4

Stickers:

Conclusion: We had made our finished product and hope you like it.

The things I did well are Cameron and myself completed our exhibit by ourselves no help and first out of the whole class.

The thing we did bad were that we were a bit confused because we had planned to do something then the other person would do it and it got really confusing.

Complaint to Rebel Sport

30 18 Avenue

Tauranga

Tuesday 15th April, 2014

Dear Rebel Sport Tauranga,

I have been told and believed your products are impeccable. You have failed to continue that belief because about one week ago I brought a Gilbert size 4 green rugby ball and it had a one week warranty.

The seam started to break after three days and I brought the ball back in to get a replacement and the person at the counter said sorry that product only has a warranty on two days.

I again am very disappointed in your company and I will be sharing this news.

In the future I expect a better service and better quality products.

I either expect a replacement or a refund.

Yours sincerely 

Jayden Cundy

There, their and they're

You should use their when yo are saying something belongs to somebody.

You should use they're when you are saying they are because the apostrophe is taking a letter out so is is a contraction meaning they are together.

There should be used when you are saying over there or right there.


Examples:

There is the phone
Over there

Their cat is right there
Their phone is over there

They're going to the movies
They're going to have a swim
