Wool and Fabric Scienece

Task Description: At extension a few weeks ago Jennifer from Fisher & Paykel came back to give aus a lesson of wool and different types of fabrics and why some of them may shrink. First she asked anyone if anything has shrunk before after putting in the washing machines. She gave us a cotton ball to use as a example, she told us how if you would put the cotton ball into water it only grow thicker and soon will become heavy and sink into the water. We learnt all about stuff about weaving and how different sizes of whatever your weaving can be different. Two people measured each of the rope that there and then weaving and up and down. Since the big rope more air it was shorter then the other one when weaved. The other one was longer because it was more thin. The bigger one ended up shorter then the thin one afterward. We enjoyed so much of this experine. Learning all about how science and wool and where they come from is so cool to learn about! THANK YOU SO MUCH JENNIFER! We appreciate you so much for taking time off of your day to teach us all about these things and how they work.

Washing Machine Science Experiment!

This morning we went to the staffroom and there was a lady named “Jennifer” she is a product development engineer who came from a company called “Fisher & Pykel”!  She has a team of people who create and design washing machines. First she started to ask us questions about what can be put and washed in a washing machine. Some of the things we said were clothes, shoes, toys, and denim. We got to stand up and take a look at the back and top of the washing machine. After that she wanted four volunteers to put 3 cloths in 1 bottle each. She put detergent in 2 bottles. We got into groups of seven, the first group shaked the bottle and the second group tilited the bottle. Jennifer told us that we shouldn’t spin the bottle beacuase it will dry it. Imagine a wet towel spinning the water splash out which dries it, that’s why we should shake it up and down rather then spinning it. She took the one cloth from each one and dried it using a ironer. We had to make sure to only push down, we couldn’t move the iron around because it will make wrinkles causing it to be darker then the rest. Finally when we finsihed drying them we compared the colours to which one was darker and which was the lightest. Once we finsished comparing the colours she told us that is the results when you either tilt it or shake it, using the right ammount of detergent, and also shaking and tilting it for a right time. So that was or science experint we learnt using washing machines. Thank you to Jennifer from Fisher & Paykel for taking time off you day to come teach us about science of a washing machine!

Podcast: Create a Paper Plane!

Task Description: For this terms creative space takes we have been creating a Paper Plane using the four forces of flight. In this presentation I made a hunter paper plane. I wrote a script all about the four forces of flight and the instructions to making the hunter paper plane. I recorded me reading the script I wrote, I made sure it was at least 3 minutes long. I tried using the key information that you need to know. The hunter paper plane is a distance and time aflot. This was a very funny exprience making paper Planes but having to make it at least 3 minutes long for the video and script was very exchausting. Please leave me a positive comment on my blog, Tyy:)
