Science Inventions

In science we are working on our inventions and my group is making an electric motor out of copper wire paper clips and magnets we them had to do an PMI on our invention and how the whole thing went.

How did we make it? We made it by using copper wire, battery, blu tack magnet insulation tape and safety pins we used the battery as a base and then put the safety pins on the sides and stuck them on with insulation tape we then put a magnet on the battery and then put the coiled wire on top.

How does it work?  Our invention works because current and power from the battery travels up the safety pins to the wire which heats it up and when you  flick the wire it spins and the magnet allows it to continuously spin around and power stuff


Positive - Minus - Interesting

Something positive about our invention was that we got our motor working well it was spinning and the wire was heating up and continuously spinning.

A minus/something negative we found out while mailing this project was that we had to use different magnets because the first magnets wasn't strong enough to keep it spinning

Something interesting was when we found that we needed to use safety pins instead of paperclips because paper clips couldn't hold up the wire and make it spin because it was to heavy.

Music goals

In music we are learning to set proper goals so we can achieve our final goal faster. My group especially can do this by playing together and learning everyone rhythm. Making sure that we don't rush ahead and so that we can create strategies so that we can learn to play the chords well and fast without having to stop between chords.

Music

Today in music we are working on the techniques to learn our instruments and our songs I personally need to work on the chord changes because I need to get then fast enough that I don't have to keep stopping and also my strumming patterns because sometimes I will miss a strum and it puts off the whole song. My group and I also have to learn to play in time with each other. We also have to work on playing at  the right volume because we don't wan to over power each other.




I think that I met my goal I learned some new skill so that I can change chords much easier I also think that i have learnt a new strum so that I can get the strum right. As for My group We managed to learn how to play together easier so that we are all playing in the same key. We had a major break through with the help of Miss Lee 

Chords

In Music we have been learning how to play chords we learnt ho to play chord progressions such as 

C   F  G
Am F G
G   C  D
Em  C  D

Once we had practised these chords we played them to a partner and they had to guess which chord progression we were playing


We also learned about chords themselves such as major chords have a fluffy and light sound and miner chords have a dull sound. We also learned that chords are made up of 2 or more notes normally 3. We learnt these chords on piano but they can also be played on guitar.  

Classical and Baroque Music Characteristics

In music we have been learning about the differences between the Characteristics of Classical and baroque music.Here are some examples of differences and the different characteristics between the different types/genres of music.

Classical Music Characteristics

• Classical music has a lighter and clearer texture than Baroque music and is less complex.
• The dates of the Classical period in Western music are generally accepted as being between the years 1730 and 1820. 
• It is mainly homophonic (which is a clear melody above a subordinate chordal accompaniment).
• The strings on a piano were banged with a small hammer every time you pushed a key

Baroque Music Characteristics

• The era of Baroque music was based around 1600-1750.
• During the Baroque period, the orchestra started to take shape. The string section became a self-contained unit.
• Composers would add other instruments in ones and twos: Flutes, Recorders, Oboes, Bassoons, Horns, and occasionally trumpets and kettle drums. There was a lot of contrast, especially in the dynamics. Sometimes there were also echo effects.
• Pianos in the musical era of baroque were called harpsichords they strings were plucked each time a key was pushed down like a harp giving it a completely different sound altogether 

Heath - Changes

In heath we had to take one of the experiences that we have gone though and relate it to a quote from the Dr Suess book oh the places you'll go here is what I created.

Health - Map of changes

In heath we had to make a map of the changes that have happened throughout our lives the good and the bad he is mine.
