Interruptions in the classroom

What kind of interruptions occur? 

• Phone calls
• People from the student office
• People from the sports office
• Messengers
• Dental nurse
• Internet down
• Intercom

How does this affect us?

• We stop working
• We start talking
• Yelling for Miss Campbell
• Arguing over who is going to get the phone
• When the internet is down we get off task and cant't do anything

Come up with several possible solutions for this problem.

• We could put a sign on the door saying "Gone fishing."
• We should have one person that receives all the notes instead of everyone yelling, and that person could pass the note to who ever needs to go to.
• Have one person who answers the phone
• We could have a mail box and one person could collect all letters and pass them to were they are needed
• When the internet is down have someone who creates a educational game

Social Experiment

Clarify and predict the title of the video we will watch today: Social Experiment

The word "social" means to be around others and interact with them and the word "experiment" means to do tests so therefore I think that this movie is about someone going around and testing a social group and to make a chart of all their results. I think all of this because from the title "Social Experiment" all of it just relates and makes me think that it could be about people getting tested.

Write up this video using the Science Process.

Aim: To find out how people react to a anonymous person giving them a compliment or a insult. √

Hypothesis: I think that people would get upset with the words they are hearing and maybe 50% of the people will just walk away but the other half will stay and listen. √

Equipment: 

You will need a speaker 

pre voice recordings or micro phone hooked up to the speaker √

Method: 
Step one: Place a speaker in the middle of the street.
Step two: Have a pre recording linked into the speaker or have a micro phone hooked up to speak into it.
Step three: Wait till people walk past and give them and insult or a compliment
Step four: Wait and see what their reaction is.
Step five: Do this for about half an our √

Results (make these up)

The people that were given an insult were unhappy and 50% of them walked away but the other 50 stayed and listen to what he had to say.

But when the group of people got given a complement they were happy and new that there were people in the world that could brighten up their day √

Conclusion

Overall it doesn't matter what people say if there are people in the world that put you down just walk away and don't listen but always remember that there will be people in the world that are there to cheer you up when you're feeling down. √

I have had a scam were people call up and clam that they work for Microsoft saying that there is a virus with our computer when there is nothing wrong with it. Even if you don't have a computer they call up and say you have a problem but how is there a problem with your computer if you don't even have one.

Also if you are on a website they could be add pop ups saying that you have won $$$ money and if you click on it you have to put your details down they then steal your details and send you scam letters.

And when something says that you are the 1millionth winner if you click on it, it can place a virus on your computer.

Here is what a scam may look like if this ever happens to you do NOT put your details down:

Describe this scene

I feel the icy cold snow beneath my skin and see the frost off the mountains below, I never thought that I could make it this far. Shivers run up my spin with adrenaline and the excitement because of the accomplishment I had made.  Memorise rushed through my head as I imagined that I was whisked back to my child hood days playing in the snow. Then I get interrupted as I hear the fresh winds rustle against my tent. I then hear foot prints coming closer and closer, out the corner of my eye I see the others that had joined me on this journey. I am so happy that I could share this mesmerising moment with my friends!

Reflection

A strength was…

Our editing skills. Instead of using green screen we used instant alpha to make our backgrounds stand out and look like we where in social.

A problem we overcame was…
Not having to right photos to match with the audio but in the end we fixed it up so it all matched up.

Our best shot was this shot

because it had an awesome background and we edited it with instant alpha.






A piece of advice I would give to next year’s class making How to Videos is…
To finish your script as quick as possible because you need as much time on your video as you can.

Memorisation methods

One method is to listen to a song this is a great way to remember the mode, median, mean and range because listening to a song will get stuck into your head and you will always remember it.

Flash cards are also a good way to memorise the mode, median, mean and range if you keep practising every night you will then remember what each one stands for.

A rhyme is a great way to its like a song it will get stuck into your head and you are sure to memorise what the mode, median, mean and range is.

Write out the answers and put it onto the walls in your house so every where you go you will see it and it will get stuck into you head.

Listening to it over and over again when you go to sleep.

Science behind a glow stick

What I think now (before we start)

I think that when you break it, it releases chemicals and makes it glow when you snap it.

What I think now (after hearing others’ ideas)

Fragile canisters inside glow stick which when you break it to the extent it breaks and explodes with the glow. And the sound gives away quite a big clue because when you snap it you can hear glass breaking into shards. 

What I think now (after seeing Miss C cut open the tube)

My prediction was right after getting the full information from watching Miss C and listing to the others in class.

What I think now (after researching)

After researching I now know that a glow stick does the same basic thing, but it uses a chemical reaction to excite the atoms in a material. 

Synthesis is the stages between the start and end progress of learning something. Getting a good knowledge at the end by experimenting and researching. 

Statistics sampling

Yesterday in Maths we learned about sampling. Write about sampling. You should include

- what is a sample?

- why take a sample?

- what are some examples of sampling done irl?

- what does the word ‘population’ mean?

- how can you tell if are you sampling the right population?

- what sized sample is representative?

- yesterday you took a sample using one method of sampling, explain what you did and your findings

NO question headings. Write in a paragraphing style. Remember use examples.

A sample is something where you get a small amount of investigation

We take a sample from the population to collect data and to get information in small amounts & it's a quicker, safer & cheaper way of testing. 

Examples: 

Hospitals, Bloods tests

School

Scientist

Cooks, MKR & Master chef 

Population means the group of people 

You can tell if you are sampling the right population by having a mixture of people also called random sampling, there are two type of sampling fair & biased 

You can find the representative sample on this site
