Class interruptions/solutions

Problems:

  • Internet
  • Phone
  • Intercom
  • Messengers

Solutions:


  • We could put a sign up on both doors.
  • Insert a system on the intercom that you have to press a certain button to involve certain speakers around the school, if it doesn't involve our class they don't press the room 42 button.

Social Experiment


Social Experiment sounds like a person that does a documentary or a experiment involving peoples social life or it could be involving a social dance. I think this because in the title it says Social Experiment, to me social means talking, interacting with others and enjoying having friends or family with you and experiment to me means a science experiment, a chemical reaction or something similar.



Aim
To find out how people react to negative or positive comments about them when they don't know who it's being said to or why it is being said. √

Hypothesis
I think people will get annoyed and storm off if it's a negative comment/insult but if it is a positive comment they might hang round for a little longer. √

Equipment & Method
  • A loud speaker/boom box √
  • A phone √



Results
I found out that people are surprised when they get a comment and that when they don't they just carry on and follow through with their usual day. Most people wouldn't notice that it was there if it didn't say anything. √


Conclusion
I found out that in the first comment you can see the girl that put the speaker down is in the refection in the yellow window and she is sending texts to the speaker things to say.

Subordinating Conjunctions

My cat died, because of a disease.    
Since I have to go to rugby, I can't go to the disco.   
My mum made me a sandwich, after she visited the local shop for the bread.  
Before my granddad passed away, he said to me be good to your mum for me.   
Whether or not I ate the chocolate, it doesn't matter now because its gone.  
While I was at the shops, dad was at work.   
As I was walking to the park, I saw a dog.
Although I am going to a funeral today, I am also going to a wedding.  
I can have some water, as soon as I pay the water bill.  

Even though I am working today I can still have fun.

Invisible Soldier

I think the video Invisible Soldier would be a soldier that has some sort of suit that makes him camouflage/invisible. They go to war and he/she goes invisible, flanks them and kills them.

I think the video Invisible Soldier would be a soldier from WWII that has a set of skills that makes them very stealthy and the enemies worst nightmare. I think this because in the title it says Invisible Soldier. I think invisible means unseen or unnoticed and I think soldier means representative of a country.

A. 8 years
Q. How long ago did the army get a new uniform?

A. Camouflage
What could make a soldier die/live come home or not?

A. A material pattern which can be used to camouflage soldiers in any 
terrain or environment.
What is the possible material that could save millions of lives?

A. The invisible cloak.
In Harry Potter what does Harry wear thats invisible?

A. Quantum stealth technology.
What is the technology behind this genius idea that will save millions of soldiers lives?

A. By bending the light around the person.
How does this amazing material make a person invisible?

A. Snipers. 
Who will benefit the most from this new technology?


A. No, you don’t need a power source.
Do you need a power source to use this cloak?

How to video checklist


3

- Do I have a title slide? 3
- Do I have subtitles for the steps? 3
- How well does the voiceover timing match the photos? 3
- How well do the photos match the script? 3
- Are the photos well focused? 3
- Is the audio clear? 3


Reflection
A strength was… Being able to alpha the background to make the photo suit the scenario.
A problem we overcame was… Not having enough photos per step.
Our best shot was when we were listening to Miss Campbell when she was dancing with Trey because we did an alpha on it and it looked really good.
A piece of advice I would give to next year’s class making How to Videos is
Don't muck around otherwise you won't get to do it.

Mode, Median, Mean and Range



Lyrics:

Mode, median, mean and range
Mode, median, mean and range
Don't you think these words sound strange
Don't you think these words sound strange
I will get your mind to change


Mo, mo, mo, mo, mode
It's the number that occurs occurs the most most
I got a 1 2 2 3 3 3 4, 1 2 2 3 3 3 4
Which of those numbers did I say more
Which of those numbers did I say more
3 is the most because it occurs the most
Mo, mo, mo, mo, mode is the number that occurs occurs the most most
I got a 1 2 2 3 3 3 4, 1 2 2 3 3 3 4
3 is the most because it occurs the most

Now stop lets take it to the middle
Got to find the median no time to daddle diddle
Line up all the numbers from the smallest to the biggest
The one thats in the middle does a median jig
Go median, middle number!
Go median, middle number!

Now the third one mean not nice but mean
Its the average number if you know what I mean
You just add up all the numbers
Then divide it by the number of adders
Whats that whats mean
You just add up all the numbers
Then divide it by the number of added
Now you know what I mean
Divide it by the number of adders
Mean it's the average number
One more round and the song is done

Lets talk about range and have some fun
It's the biggest number minus the smallest number, in the group, in the group
It's the biggest number minus the smallest number , in the group, in the group

You got Mode, Median, Mean and Range
Mode, Median, Mean and Range

Don't you think these words sound strange?
Don't you think these words sound strange?

I just got your mind to change

How does a glow stick work?

I think there is some sort of chemical that is set off when the stick is bend to a certain extent which ignites some sort of glow/light.

I think there is some sort of chemical that is set off when the stick is bend to a certain extent which breaks a very thin glass cylinder which holds a chemical and that mixes with the other chemical to make it glow.

I think my second answer was bang on and that there was a glass cylinder that broke and set off a glow.

Glow sticks are used by campers, divers and many other people to create light. To activate a glow stick you just bend the plastic tube filled with a chemical and that will break the glass cylinder holding another chemical causing light which makes the stick glow.


Who created these?
Why were they created?
How did they come up with this?


Synthesis is basically progress from prior knowledge to new knowledge.

Sampling

- What is a sample? 
A sample is a piece of information that you got from the population.


- Why take a sample? 
Because for example if you were taking blood off somebody you would kill them if you took all of their blood but if you take a sample they wouldn't but they might get a bit dizzy.




- What does the word ‘population’ mean?
The word population means the whole amount e.g. if you were taking a sample of how many student use their bikes to get to school in NZ, the population would be all of the kids in NZ.


- How can you tell if are you sampling the right population?
By having a mixture of people also called random sampling
