High Impact Car Race Results ............

What did we do ?
The first race was how far could the cars go. Everyone had 5 minutes to touch up their cars for the races.
The second race was the car that could go closest or stop at the end of the green line. Then again everyone could have 5 minutes touch up their cars.
The third race was which could go furthest and then again everybody had a fair race because we all go to make our car into whatever shape we wanted and we all started at the race line and tried to get the car to go furthest.

The Effects Of My Modification:

In the picture it shows that I have put clay at the back of the car to make it go faster. The clay put's weight on the back to make it go faster as well.



This car was made like this because it had to stop at the green line. We put more weight on it this time so it could go slower putting more friction on it. 





This car was made for the car which could go the longest distance. We didn't put anything on because we thought it might go faster.


THE RESULTS:
How did your car do in each race compared to others:
I think we done good just above average on our car.

What cars won the race:
Car no. 2 and 3 did a good job.

Why did they win:
Because they had enough friction and acceleration in their cars.

REFLECTION :
What were we learning about?
We were learning about High Impact and what forces interact with moving objects.



How does this show my understanding of learning:
It shows my learning because I have learnt a lot of words and I have used them in my previous blogs about High Impact.

What do I still need more work on:
I need to work on understanding more about acceleration, friction, thrust and gravity and more words about this kete.

What am I wondering:
I am wondering that what do I have to do to make my car be the fastest, stop at the green line and make it go further.

VORTEX CANNON!!!!!!!

Aim:
To make a vortex cannon.
Equipment:

1. Bucket 
2. Tape 
3. Rubbish Bag 
4. Cups (Optional)

Methods:

We are not making an ordinary vortex cannon. Instead of making one out of a cardboard box we made one out of a bucket. We had a bucket and we cut a hole at the bottom(To any size you want).Then you put a rubbish bag on the hole covering it. Then next you will tape it together.

Results:

My group tried to shoot the cups with the cannon from 3 meters. The cups just wiggled a little bit. But the cup tower didn't fall over.

Discussion: 

Next time I would make the hole smaller.

THE PHYSICS OF CAR RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE PHYSICS OF CAR RACING:

1. What has been done to make this a fair test?
Everyone has the same type of car.We are all racing on the same track.We all have the same choice of material.

2.What forces are needed to make the car go faster and how you modified your car accordingly?
I added clay to the back and front of the car because so the car will slow down easier.I also added clay to the bottom of the car because so the car can stop faster.

3. What forces are needed to make the car stop and what adjustments have you made to try and stop it by the line?
To have enough gravity to pull it to the ground.To have enough drag/friction to stop the car in time.

4.What forces are needed to make the car travel further and what adjustments have you made to achieve this?
You need more acceleration and I have put weight at the front and back to make it go faster.

WHY DOES WIND EXIST?

Why does the wind exist?
Wind exists because of the uneven heat of the earths surface.

What drives wind?

Wind is driven by the atmosphere's heat.Some parts of earth get direct rays from the sun. But in other parts of earth you get no sign of sun at all. Warm air weighs less than cold air and then the cold air replaces the warm air. Next the movements of wind starts.
List some of the good and bad effects of wind?
GOOD: 

• Wind helps us with growing plants and trees.
• Wind also gives us electricity to light up our homes.
• BAD 
• Sand tunes are very bad source of wind since they carry the sand and get into your eyes.
• Tornado's are also a very bad source of wind because they can get very big and ruin homes,plants and trees.

CARS

• What problems does our car already have?
• It’s too heavy on the back of the car.
• It doesn't slow down quickly.
• What is causing the problem?
• Too much weight on the back.
• The wheels are to loose.
• How do you plan to correct it?
• Put more weight on the front to make it equal.
• Tighten the wheels.
• How do you think you will make your car go faster?
• By making the wheels tight enough to make it go faster.
• How do you think you will slow your car down?
• Putting more weight or something to help it stop at the right time.
• What equipment will we need?
• Rubber Band,Play dough,Popsicle Stick.

-We put play dough in the front but it put more weight,instead it turned around when it was going down the ramp.

-We put a rubber and clay in the front to stop it from rolling off the track and to stop it from going to fast.

-It didn't really go faster it went slower.

MUSIC RESEARCH TASK

The song I am going to learn is :CASTLE ON THE HILL.

Ed Sheeran and Benny Blanco composed the song.
Ed Sheeran preformed the song.

The song is about: Childhood memories.
