Halloween Reflection

Halloween Reflection

Self Study

I have currently researched conspiricies and theories such as: "The Moon Landing", "The Illuminati", "The Quantum Theory" and "The M-Theory". I have also discovered my IQ level and studied "The Myers-Briggs Test", an intellectual examination.

School

I have had a relatively  "Laid Back" day, with cooking Halloween treats such as: Chocolate Noodle Spiders, Eyeballs in Jell-o, Crispie Candy Pumpkins, Ghost Marshmallows and Pretzel Chocolate Bones. On a more informative note, Totara has been learning mainly mathematics, poetry and English. I have learned how to comprehend an average (mean), Median, and Mode.

Its 16 days to my birthday.

week reflection 31/10/14

This week has been normal we have done:

Maths- working with perimeters of composite shapes and perimeter problems. which went quite well and i understood it after it had been explained a few times.

Science- we attempted to do more work on the class science movie but it didn't get very far so it will need some assistance.

English- we went further into the Jabberwocky and started making my own nonsense words for it.

Options- I am making a portrait of myself and i think it looks pretty good then the next day i played more electric guitar and on Thursday we played throwing games for sport.

Today we did some Haloween treats which were great we made little bones with pretsel sticks and marsh mellows  shoved on the ends dipped in white chocolate, spiders with crispy noodles covered in dark chocolate with red jellybeans as eyes, pumpkins made with melted marsh mellows with orange and green food colouring with ricebubbles all the orange mashed together in a ball with green stems, also we made mouths with chocolate chip biscuits cut in half and dipped with red food colouring and mini marsh mellows.

so lots of sugar and we all got hyper but it was fun.

Perimeter problem 4

Your house is 24m long and 16m wide. You decide to plant shrubs around the house to protect the exterior walls from direct sunlight. Starting with a shrub on one corner of the house, shrubs will be planted 1m apart around house and 1/2m out from the house. How many shrubs will you need to surround the house?

Angles - cube problem

1. What angle is made by the two red lines drawn on the two sides of the cube, as shown in the illustration?

Answer...

If the ends of the two red lines at the bottom left and top left are connected by a third red line along the invisible left face of the cube, then since each of the red lines joins two opposite corners of same-sizes squares, those three lines form an equilateral triangle. Hence at each corner of that triangle, two red lines meet at 60 degrees.

Continue

Perimeter problem 3

Matt has a set of 20 cards. Each card is 10cm long and 5cm wide. Matt has decided to protect the edges of the cards with tape. He carefully makes sure the tape covers all the edges by taking the tape to each corner. How much tape is he going to need to bind all the cards?

SELF-EDUCATION

I have recently been studying the Bhopal Tragedy and the Chernobyl Disaster, as I industrial accidents, theories and conspiracies interest me. I have learned the configuration of vectors and scalars and how to measure one dimensional velocity. This is helpful towards my Communication and Leadership Exam, as my presentation is about industrial disasters.

SCHOOL EDUCATION

I have learned the history of Pi, the irrational number, originally derived from the 16th letter of the Greek Alphabet. Pi and other forms of mathematics involving algebra is also useful to my extension of knowledge involving Physics, as it assists my goal of becoming a Quantum Physicist.

What is reflection and how does it help learning?

What is reflection on learning?
It is when you write about your day and memorise it. It's thinking back on what you've done. Some people would say it's like a diary or a journal. It's not always writing and can be done by talking with others.

How can it help learning?
If you make a mistake and your write about it, you don't go back and make the same mistake again.
Some people like doing reflections because it is an easy way of thinking about what you've learned.
It creates a record of learning which can be reused.
It reinforces your points.
It can be used to retrace what you've done and teach someone else.

What are some questions that might help with reflection?

1. What did I learn today?
2. Is it true, is it good and is it useful? Why/why not?
3. How did I feel about it and why... (why should you consider emotions/feelings in learning?)
4. What is the point (or purpose) in learning this?
5. What are my next steps in learning?

Learning about Pi

Today you are going to learn about an important mathematical concept - pi

Tyler's fridays reflection

fridays learning achievements today 

Me and Owen made a new slideshow for the term 4 week 1 celebration.  We made a number of slides and cropped Duncan's photos from swimming.

i also transferred a video clip by using the URL to locate the video for celebration.  I now know the short cuts for apple like how to open up the search button by pressing command and space this allows me to quickly opening the search button while browsing the internet.

i am really proud of what i have learnt and realy injoyed the process of learning today. 

Next step

My next step is to try and change the google slide show to something new and still has the seven oaks logo at the bottom. So it will look like a school slide show

Thursday Reflections

What I have Learned Myself

Today I studied Quantum Mechanics, The Quantum Theory and The String Theory

Quantum Physics includes physical phenomenons at a nanoscopic scale.

 Quantum Theory is a theoretic basis of modern physics that explains the nature of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level.

String Theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one dimensional objects called strings.

  

What I Have learned At School

I have learned in Science that Potassium Permanganate is an extremely strong substance that can liquify almost immediately in H20 no matter the temperature, although will spread more quickly when exposed to heated water

Thursday reflection

today we learnt how to locate the centre for enlargement witch is what we use to intersect lines to.
we also went to since we lighted up the Bunsen burners and boiled up the water. plus we chucked tea bags into the hot water the water diss coloured like normal and with the cold water it stayed in the bag and the water was clean.

OLIVIA UPDATE THURSDAY

Today I learnt for maths what centre of enlargement meant and how you work out where it is and what the scale is.

In sport I learnt how when we start off for a race how to pace myself so I don't get tired.

In science i learnt that the different temperatures of water can make alot of difference and can make different things seperate faster

Reflection on Thursday

Thursday reflection.

Thursday review- Anna

Today I learnt how to make tea with warm water and make  M'n'Ms loose there colour in science with diffusion = when something spreads into something else. Also how to enlarge shape using there "center of enlargement" in Maths.

Maths - finding the centre of enlargement

Today in Maths we learnt about shape enlargement. In the photo is Meg and Nathan trying to locate  the centre of enlargement with a set of cards in a certain pattern.

We used rulers to make sure that the line was accurate and they intersected at the centre of enlargement.
