Passion Project Reflection

Augmented Reality Sandbox

[ Digital World ]

First Week, of passion projects. We discussed about the topic 'Augmented Reality Sandbox'. We researched about how the sandbox works and what materials we needed to create the sandbox. We wrote down a draft of the materials that we needed and how it will work.

Second Week, we sketched a rough copy of the reality sandbox. We wrote the official measurements onto the drawing and also the materials. 

Third Week, the admins contacted different stores for the equipment we needed. Before they sent anything, they showed a adult for permission. 

Fourth Week, the construction team and also admins got taught on how to draw the sandbox properly, and also how to put the materials on the drawing. The technology team got taught on how to work the system for the sandbox.

Fifth Week, the construction team went into the workshop and worked out the measurements with the teacher. Then they looked at the different types of wood, that the school had already had in store. The teacher took the measurements and cut the wood for us. Then the construction team started building the sandbox. 

Sixth Week, one sandbox got finished. So the sand team, went out to the beach and collected the sand. While they went out to do that, the other teams worked on the sandbox and others worked on the presentations. When the sand team came back they cleaned out the sand and made sure there were no little particles that could harm our hands.

Seventh Week, some of the presentations got finished. The construction team continued to stride and finish another sandbox. 

Eight Week, we started our blog posts on the reflection of the process of this passion project. This week was more of a chill week. The construction team still working hard to finish.

Ninth Week, (Today) the teams are starting to finish their presentations and send it to Mr. Stokes to put them together.

I enjoyed that we could use our creativity to create these sandboxes.

100 Word Challenge

Wednesday 17 October 2018

100 Word Challenge

I was admiring the outside, it was very beautiful. I walked around the street on the flat concrete side.

As I was swiftly walking I heard a humongous bang.

I ran to go see if anyone was hurt, I peeked over the corner and I couldn’t believe what I saw… I saw a giant fighter dancing clumsily around a poor orange bath.

He danced and danced, he made me smile with his weird moves. He was dancing until he couldn’t move anymore. He fell down to the ground, I said my goodbyes even though he didn’t know I was there.

Reflection:

Writing this, was very hard. I only had the option of using 100 Words. This time I managed to make a story without worrying about the 100 Words, because I already had a story in mind and just had to cut some words out.

Growth Mindset & Fixed Mindset

I believe I have both Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset. Whenever there is something challenging I try it before giving up. Through the challenge, I slowly start to give up.

Black Holes - Astronomy

Can We See What Inside Of A Black Hole?

In Science we had gotten a choice of what topic related with science we wanted to do. I chose Astronomy I thought it would be fun to research more about outside earth. For this blog post i'll be 

focusing on Black Holes.

 What are Black Holes?

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not escape. Black Holes gravity is so strong anything floating around it can be sucked in.The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny area. This can happen when a star is fading. Also known as a Red Giant Star.

Because no light can't escape, people can't see black holes. They are completley invisible. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. 

How Big Are Black Holes?
Black Holes can come in different sizes (Small, Big, Medium etc) Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These Black Holes are very little but have mass of a large mountain.

Another kind of black hole is called "stellar." Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun. (Suns Mass: 1.989 × 10^30 kg ) There may be many, many stellar mass black holes in Earth's galaxy. (The Earths Galaxy Is A Milky Way)

The largest black holes are called "supermassive." These black holes have masses that are more than 1 million suns together. Scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is called Sagittarius A. It has a mass equal to about 4 million suns and would fit inside a very large ball that could hold a few million Earths.

How Do Black Holes Form?
Scientists think the smallest black holes formed when the universe began.

Stellar black holes are made when the center of a very big star falls in upon itself, or collapses. When this happens, it causes a supernova. A supernova is an exploding star that blasts part of the star into space.

Scientists think supermassive black holes were made at the same time as the galaxy they are in

Reflection:

Seven was the most popular in the class, I think that is because seven is a holy number also known as a lucky number to most. Four, nine, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, nineteen, were the least favourite number in the class. I think that is because most are not really lucky numbers.

The 100 Word Challenge.

A Giants Cup

By Kahciar.

Thump! “Where is my tea cup?”

Once lived a giant woman who lived up in the clouds. She had once had a tea cup the was tremendously big. It was very special to her she used that cup everyday. She will look after it like she was taking care of a baby. One night she went on a long walk to find the fluffiest cloud she could see. She walked over to the cloud with her tea cup. She put her tea cup down.. Thump, the tea cup had fallen, she had never seen that tea cup again.

Reflection:

I really like this challenge this was fun to do, it was hard to keep it to 100 words because you can't have more or less than 100. I think next time we do this challenge I will add more adjectives, synonyms and more.

I thought of making the slide the school colours so that's what I did. Eventually we both had so many ideas the slide kept changing. In the end it looked great! Working with Heaven was really fun.
