3


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?
- 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

Homework, Statistics

Here is my pictograph ...

& here is my frequency table ...
