Rockets at TC - Day 2

Today was our second time at Tamaki college learning and experimenting with rockets. Today we started off by completing our paper rockets from last week. Mr. Dunn taught us how to attach on our string to the rocket. In the middle of the string, there was a paper sellotaped so that this acts like a parachute when the top of the rocket blows off and flies through the air. Once everybody completed their rocket construction, we went out to the field to launch them. Each group had their chance to make their rocket fly. During the rocket experiment, some landed a centimeter away from the launcher, while some went all the way to the carpark of Tamaki College. During all the launchers, we were focusing on the variables and why they some flew the way they did. I think that my group's (Sajiha, Nazella and me) rocket went the furtherest, that we couldn't even see it anymore. I think this is because we followed the instructions really clearly and made sure everything was the way it was meant to be. Overall everyone in LS2 had a great day and a huge thank you to Mr. Dunn, Miss. Ferguson! Because they spent their time with us and without them this wouldn't be possible without them. They put in so much effort to make this happen. And again, thank you so much. 

At Tamaki College With Mr. Dunn

This is my DLO created about our Straw Rocket experiment down at Tamaki college. In this presentation, I have included my time scores and converted them into averages. I reflected on my scores and what could do to change the way it flew. If you want to read more about what we did I have made a blog post about procedural writing about how to make a straw rocket and a few collages that I have made.

Rockets at Tamaki College

This is a procedural writing about how to make straw rocket. On Friday LS2 spent the whole day at Tamaki College with Mr. Dunn. All of us really enjoyed this session and recapped many things we would have forgotten. It was really awesome at how we actually made hard papered rocket and shot them up in the air. Next time at tech our whole class will get the chance to launch their rockets in the air. Miss. Ferguson made a 3D printed rocket wich was really cool! Her rocket even disappeared. In this popplet, I have included three collages wich I put a lot of effort into.

Tamaki College - Digitech

At Tech in Tamaki College half of the year eights are participating in Digitech. Digitech is where you learn all the the gaming programmes, this is how you create your own game. To create our game uses a very helpful website scratch. Our group is making a plat-former game. A plat-former game is where you go through multiple levels, and go from one end to the other with plenty of obstacles making it a challenge. In our games we have to include sprites these are characters you add in your game. Using Photoshop I created this tennis player which will soon be participating to my game.

My Platformer game

 This is my Plat-former game. I created this at Digital Tech at Tamaki College. For 1 and a half term we have been learning about game making and how what each unique code does. We also had working in photoshop witch I also created a blogpost to. My plat-former game is about a bat who needs to get to home try play this game without dying!

Science at Tamaki College

Today at Tamaki college we had we had woodwork but it wasn't just wood work we also had our first ever science lesson! We were all very excited to attend a science lesson . Before we were able to go in the class we were handed booklets. Our goal was too create a robot that is powered my rubber bands too scramble three meteres across the floor. Both room 5 and 6 were slit up by two teachers called Mrs.Bunce and Mr. Malhotre. I was with Mrs. Bunce, she was a great teacher .First we talked about the 4 strands of science . We made notes on sticky notes and did a quiz at the end the prize was chocolate. in science we learned a lot of things such as what how many different ways you can show science instead of mixing chemicals together.
