Science and technology Scientific Fair Test A car has stopped at a 3 way intersection and is not sure which way to go? Its driver is running late. Choose the path that will get him where he is going the fastest. Complete the fair test sheet in the assignment link below or in your pack. Materials

- toy car - carpet area - tiled/concrete area - grass/dirt area

Procedure

respect for someone else’s feelings or rights.

Why do you think this has happened? What is the reason for this?

going through (empathy) or respect for someone else’s feelings or rights.

Keeping your push force (push strength) the same, push your car and let it go along the 3 different surfaces. Record your observations on the sheet/Google Doc. Which car went the furthest? Why did it go the furthest? What does this tell you about when two surfaces move across each other? eg. the car and the grass Which path should the driver choose and why? Watch the clip to add more information to your conclusion. What is Friction in Physics? PDHPE Design a 15 minute exercise routine and draw/explain it. Record an action you have taken that has shown your understanding of someone else’s feelings because you understand what they are going through (empathy) or respect for someone else’s feelings or rights.

Instructions: Use this sheet as a reference when completing your daily maths activities. If an activity is too hard or too easy, try to think of ways you could adjust the activity so that it is a meaningful learning experience for you.

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Learning Intention I am learning to… solve addition and subtraction questions using the jump strategy.

Learning Intention I am learning to… represent data as a dot plot.

I need to know… jump strategy allows us to jump up or down a number line to break up tricky addition and subtraction questions.

673 +? = 8000

673+7+20+300+7000=8000

I need to know… data is information collected in a survey. A graph is a visual display of data. Frequency is the number of times an item appears in a data display. A dot plot is a graph that uses dots to display data. A dot plot for favourite movie type would look like:

Extension: Think of two whole numbers under 10. Take one of them and add 1. Multiply by 5. Add 1 again. Double your answer. Subtract 1. Add your second number. Add 2. Double again. Subtract 8. Halve this number and tell me your answer. From your answer I can work out both your numbers very quickly. How? Choose some different pairs of numbers and repeat the process. Can you work out the trick?

Vocabulary: addition, plus, sum of, total, increase, decrease, minus, take away, subtraction

Vocabulary: data, frequency, dot plot, survey

Sink or Swim

Science Experiment | Physical Sciences

Method1. Place the bucket of water on the ground, ensuring it cannot be knocked over or spilled. Wait until the surface of the water is calm before continuing with the experiment.

2. Place the golf ball on the surface of the water, and then let it go. Record your obervations in the data collection table.

3. Repeat this process with the lime and the table tennis ball. Record your obervations in the data collection table.

Equipment1 x bucket of water

1 x golf ball

1 x lime

1 x table tennis ball

LOOKING AT THE WORLDWhen things float, it is because of buoyant force. The buoyant force of a liquid pushing against the force of gravity causes an object to either float or sink, depending on which force is greater.

AIMTo investigate the buoyancy of di�erent objects when placed in water.

SCIENTIST’S NOTEWhen an object �oats, the buoyant force balances the force of gravity. When it sinks, gravity wins.

Man designs ‘car shoes’ to avoid squashing crabsHuman Interest News   —   Posted on January 27, 2020

(By Paula Froelich, NY Post) – An enterprising lodge owner on Christmas Island has invented “shoes” for carsto protect red crabs in their annual migration on the island in the Indian Ocean.

Every year, millions of red crabs cross from the island’s forests to the beach to breed over several roads —putting them in harm’s way.

Chris Bray, the owner of the luxury eco-retreat Swell Lodge on the Australian territory located in the IndianOcean, south of Java and Sumatra, now �ts his cars with a “crab-safe” attachment that is placed in front ofthe wheels and gently whisk the crabs out of harm’s way.

“When the crabs are in full migration, [the national park] closes the roads to allow the crabs safe passage,”Bray told Newsweek. “While some guests love to walk in through all the crabs, staff — as well as supplies,guests bags and elderly guests, etcetera — are not able to walk in. So I had to develop this crab-safeattachment system — the ‘crab-mobile’ — to enable us to keep running the lodge during migration, so we canget guests, supplies and staff to/from the lodge without impacting the crabs.”

“A few people have tried a few things over the years, but I gather none have really worked,” Bray told themagazine. “[The national park] says this is the �rst invention that actually does the trick.”
