Passion Project
Push GO Kart
For my passion project, we had to make a push go-kart from scratch. First, we draw the go-kart on paper and we started planning how it looks like. Second, we search the internet to buy some material for the go-kart. Thrid we picked bunning to buy our material and on the last day, we build the go-kart and had a race. And our team won the race.
The Vitruvian Man is a drawing made by Leonardo da Vinci in about 1490. Around the drawing are notes based on the work of the architect Vitruvius.
The drawing, which is in pen and ink on paper, depicts a male figure in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and simultaneously inscribed in a circle and square.

PLAN
Problem
Q-Do we have the perfect body proportions in this class?
P-Our participants will be the population of year 11 boys Mr rees math class.
V-Explanatory variables are the height in meters and the Response variable is the length of wingspan in meters.
R-Our relationship is that we measure the height and the length of the wingspan correctly so it's the same measurement. To get the same length of wingspan to your height.
S-Ask the class students to take their shoes off
-Tell the student to straight against the wall
-Make sure that they stand straight and not on their tippy-toes
-Using a tape measure to measure their height starting from the feet to the top of their head.
-Using a ruler put it on the top of their head to make it balanced and measure it
-Record the measurements in Meters of the table
-To measure the wingspan we will need to stand in front of the whiteboard and arm straight, not at an angle, and measure with a measuring tape.
A-Leaving shoes on when measuring
-No tippy-toes
-Standing up straight
C-Using Measuring Tape
R-Repeat the measurement
Data
T- Trend
D- Direction
S- Strength
U-Unusual/Outliers
Trend- it is a Nonlinear scatter graph
Direction- It is a decreasing nonlinear graph
Strength- It is a moderate nonlinear graph
Usuals/outliers- There is 2 student that is out of line with everyone else which is unusual.
Conclusion
The answer to our question (Do we have the perfect body proportions in this class?) is yes, because the 2 students are out of line. The data that I had capture is a nonlinear decreasing moderate scatter graph.
What are the different graph and their uses?
Pie graph
Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not show changes over time. There are two primary use cases for a pie chart: If you want your audience to have a general sense of the part-to-whole relationship in your data and comparing the precise sizes of the slices is less important.
Bar Graph
Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time. Bar graphs are ideal for comparing two or more values, or values over time. Data is displayed either horizontally or vertically. Single bar graphs are used to convey discrete values of an item within a category.
Line Graph
Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group. Straight-line graphs are used in the research process and the preparation of the government budget.
Scatter Graph
Scatter graphs uses are to observe and show relationships between two numeric variables. The dots in a scatter plot report the values of individual data points and patterns when the data are taken as a whole. A scatter chart works best when comparing large numbers of data points without regard to time. This is a very powerful type of chart and good when you are trying to show the relationship between two variables
Bubble graph
A bubble chart is primarily used to depict and show relationships between numeric variables. The addition of marker size as a dimension allows for the comparison between three variables rather than just two. Bubble charts are often used to present financial data. Different bubble sizes are useful to visually emphasize specific values.
Area Chart
Area charts are used to represent cumulated totals using numbers or percentages. Use the area chart for showing trends over time among related attributes. Area charts are commonly used to showcase data that depicts a time-series relationship. Information in an area chart is plotted on the x- and y-axis; data values are plotted using data points that are connected using line segments.
Triangle
Triangle Facts
The sum of all the internal angles of a triangle is always 180o no matter how the triangle is constructed.
The length of any side of a triangle is shorter than the sum of the other two sides.
A triangle can always be split into two right triangles no matter how the triangle is constructed.
All triangles add up to 180°.
Right angle triangle
The right Triangle angle has one angle that is 90 degrees. The other two angles always add up to 90 degrees but can be different sizes. The longest side of a right-angle triangle is the hypotenuse.
Acute Angle
An acute angle is a triangle that has 3 acute ( less than 90 degrees) angles.
Obtuse Angle
An obtuse angle is a triangle that has one obtuse (greater than 90 degrees) angle. An obtuse angle is a type of angle that is always larger than 90° but less than 180°. In other words, it lies between 90° and 180°.
Equilateral Triangle
Equilateral triangles have all angles, some measure 60 degrees. All angles are acute angles. An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length.
Isosceles Triangle
A triangle with two sides of equal length is an isosceles triangle. The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle are known as 'legs' whereas the third or unequal side is known as the 'base'.
Scalene Triangle
A scalene triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are in different lengths, and all three angles are of different measures. However, the sum of all the interior angles is always equal to 180 degrees.
Pythagoras's Theorem
what is Pythagoras theorem? a theorem in geometry: the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Who is Pythagoras theorem? There is concrete evidence that the Pythagorean Theorem was discovered and proven by Babylonian mathematicians 1000 years before Pythagoras was born. The purpose of this article is to plot a fascinating story in the history of mathematics. Nevertheless, the theorem came to be credited to Pythagoras. It is also proposition number 47 from Book I of Euclid's Elements. According to the Syrian historian Iamblichus (c. 250–330 ce), Pythagoras was introduced to mathematics by Thales of Miletus and his pupil Anaximander.
When was Pythagoras theorem invented? The Pythagorean theorem was first known in ancient Babylon and Egypt (beginning about 1900 B.C.). The relationship was shown on a 4000-year-old Babylonian tablet now known as Plimpton 322. However, the relationship was not widely publicized until Pythagoras stated it explicitly.
Where was Pythagoras theorem invented? First was known in ancient Babylon and Egypt.
How does Pythagoras theorem work? Pythagoras theorem states that for all right-angled triangles, 'The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. The hypotenuse is the longest side and it's always opposite the right angle.
Square
What is square? Square, in geometry, a plane figure with four equal sides and four right (90 degrees) angles. A square is a special kind of rectangle ( an equilateral one) and a special kind of parallelogram ( an equilateral and equiangular one).
What is a square root? a number that produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself. Square root, in mathematics, a factor of a number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. For example, both 3 and –3 are square roots of 9.
What is a prime number in the square? All square numbers have an odd number of factors. A prime number by definition has exactly 2 factors - 1 and itself. Therefore no prime number is a square and no square number is prime.
Lord of the Rings
The Black Rider
Brainstorm
-4 Hobbits are hiding under a tree from the Black Rider. They are afraid - see on their faces.
Techique
- Colour- Plaette- green,black,grey,dark,nature/natural, dull.
- Feels cold and uninviting.
Camera: Shots/Focus/Movement/Angles
- Tilt shot- from the rider to the hiding hobbits.
-Close-ups- Hobbit faces- scared, nervous, bugs -crawling across the hobbits, shows how difficult it was to keep still and quiet.
-Three close-ups on parts of the rider- the horse hooves pawing the ground, the horse muzzle/bridal with red-eye, and the rider's feet hitting the ground. Builds suspense before we see the rider.
-Low angle - looking up at the rider, shows hobbits cowering below, make the rider look bigger, intimidating, and frightening.
-Sound - Diegetic sounds- horse hooves approaching, bugs crawling, birds, movement of the rider armour, the sound of his breathing.
-Little sounds are magnified when we are afraid.
-Lighting- natural, dim, cold - makes it feels cold and uninviting.
Sexxy Paragraph
Statment- In the 'Black Rider' Scene close up are used to show the fear of the characters as they hide.
Example- The four hobbits are running from the Black Rider. They seek refuge under the roots of an old tree as the rider approaches. Close-ups show us the expressions of fear on the hobbits faces.
X-Audience- This makes the audience feel intimidated and anxious with the hobbits as the unseen enemy arrives.
X- Director- The purpose of this is to build suspense before we see the rider. Like the characters, we are afraid even though we don't know what is coming.
X-Link technique- Combined with close-ups is the use of diegetic sounds including the horse hooves on the ground, the breathing of the rider and the clinking of his armour as he dismounted. These sounds add to the feeling of fear we have seen through the close-up shots.
Y-Your real-world connection- Interestingly, mast viewer has felt the fear of being chased and found before. This allows them to connect with the emotions of the characters at this moment.
Brainstorm
-A fox wants to buy a jumbo pop from the elephant store but they won't sell it to him.
-The bunny officer steps in to help.
Technique
-colour- bright- heartening scene, aimed at children so is colourful and engaging
-Lighting- warm, natural, bright- daytimes, hot sunny day, fox/bunny spotlighting.
-Camera- ( shots/angle/focus/ movement)- High/low angle- the elephant is taller, feels bigger, superior, we aren't meant to like the elephant because he wants to scene them- rough angry tone, a low angle from Fox POV and high angle onto fox make him look small.
Statements- In the 'Popsical' scene, high angle shots are used to show the imbalance of power between characters.
Evidence-We sees this when the elephant is talking to the fox. The low angle shot is used to show how much bigger and more imposing the elephant is than the fox.
X-Audience- This makes the audience feel sad for the fox because he is being refused service because of his size.
X-Director- The purpose of this is to introduce the ideas of stereotyping to the viewer. Appearing large and rough, the elephant shopkeeper refuses service because he is a fox. Strengthening this idea is the elephant quote ' go back to your side of town.
X-Other techniques- Combined with the use of high shots, we see the differences in the characters rather than the similarities. The high angle point of view makes the fox seem even smaller than the elephants towering over him.
L-Realworld link- Issues like this where people are judged on their size, race or religion are not isolated to this film. In the real world, we tackle ongoing issues of discrimination in every country, even in 2021.
Avatar Film
Brainstorm: -The two were talking. She told him to go away because he didn't belong.
-The seeds of the sacred tree choose him.
Techniques:-
- lighting- artificial, bright, and dim- plants/ things they touched were bright, the background was dim, cold
-Colour- palette- neons- blue/green.purple
-extremes, shows us we are someplace different/ exciting.
-Camera- Shots, angle, movement and focus
-Tilt shot used to show the seeds- POV shot of Jake, exciting/ magical.
- Conversation- mid-shot, show bodies- shows the distance between the characters.
- Close up on seeds, shows ethereal movement, otherworldly.
Statement: In the scene 'seeds of the sacred tree' lighting is effectively used to create the otherworldly experience of Pandora.
Evidence: An artificial bright light is seen as the figures run and touch things in the environment. The rest of their surrounding remain dark against these flashes of cold neon light.
X-audience- This makes the audience feel amazed and envious of the unnatural and unearthly qualities of the planet.
X-director- The director did this to make the viewer feel like they have been transported to another world where new and exciting things are possible.
X-other techniques- coinciding with this is the use of a neon colour palette. The blues, greens and purples become vibrant and otherworldly when combined with the artificially bright lights caused by movement.
Y-Your link- real-world- The lighting and colour are juxtaposed to that which we experience in the real world. Like earth, it has trees, plants and native people but they have seen vastly different from us because of the bright artificial/ neon lighting and colours
Foggy Blog Day
Dear Readers,
Today’s Blog is about Maths, something I’ve been working on in class this week.
Information I studied included learning about the Pythagoras theorem and facts about triangles. Pythagoras theorem is a theorem in geometry: the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. Triangle facts, If you know two of the angles in a triangle, you can always figure out the third because they must add up to 180 degrees. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always longer than the third side. The triangle and two is a type of defense used in basketball.
Tolerance means the ability to put up with others' beliefs, altitude, and culture, even when you don't agree/it's different from your own.
Overcoming Adversity- pushing through something difficult or dangerous.
I am a Home Scene
Brainstorm- a student read his diary to the teacher and the class
-his family has been evicted
-he feels at home at school in Ms. Grawells class
-Overcoming adversity- he has come to school despite being evicted
Music-slow, soft, and shot
(Color )
Lighting- bright, natural- create an atmosphere of a warm, happy, welcome space.
(Shot/ Movement/ Angle/ Focus)
Camera- Close up when says he's home- shows the audience his emotion
-Dolly shot- from close up to mid-back to close up- shows the viewer that the student is surrounded, supported by his classroom family.
-Shallow Focus- the speaker is sharp, theses around are blurred to make him the focus, most important.
Dialogue, tone of speech, body language
Writing
In the 'I am home' scene shallow focus is used to show how these characters overcome adversity. A student read his diary to the teacher and the class. As he stands and reads from the book, the shallow focus is used to blur out his classmates, it helps indicate he is important in this scene.
Ms. Giep Scene
Brainstorm- Miep. Gies has come to talk to the class about hiding Anne Frank and her family.
-Marcus stands and tells her that she's his hero.
-Miep says that they are her heroes.
(Shot/ Movement/ Angle/ Focus)
Camera - Pan Shot- used to shows all the students are there and they are all focused and listening- not distracted like the previous scene.
-Tracking mid-shot- Marcus when he speaks
(Colors)
-Lighting - bright, light natural- Backlit- create a halo effect making her has seen angelic or god-like. This works because the students see Miep like a god because she saved the franks.
Music- subtle quiet, builds in volume and intensity, used to heighten the viewer's emotions.
Close up- students, the director wants us to empathize with them, see it from their perspective.
MId shot- on teacher- shows the divide between them.
Shallow focus props
Dialogue- Eva- close up- Shallow focus
In the Holocaust scene, close up are used to show the emotion of the characters. We see this scene with Eva yelling at her teacher. For example, Eva her about how her friend was shot because he put in his pocket.
Deep Focus
-Everything in the image is sharp and clear.
Close up shot
Costume- hat - a symbol of hiding
-off shows feels safe
-on-wants hide, not be seen
Shallow Focus
- Focus us on part of an image and blurs the great
-Tells the viewer where their attention is needed.
In the Holocaust scene, the shallow focus is used to show the theme of tolerance. For instance, we see a picture being passed around the room until it reaches JAMEL. The picture is a stereotype of an African American with big lips and has Jamel's name on it. As he receives it, Jamel puts his hat back on and shrinks into his chair. Shadow focus is used to bring our attention to the picture and its effect on Jamel. This makes us understand that the picture was used to bully and embarrass Jamel. The direction did this to help us empathize with the characters and gain an insight into what their lives are like. Coinciding with this is the use of costume- in this case, Jamel hat. When Jamel puts the hat on, it symbolizes that he wants to hide away and not be seen. This scene introduces the viewer to their tolerance because we can see that currently, the students do not respect each other's cultures, beliefs, or identities. Understandably makes students like Jamel feel unsafe in class.
Brainstorming
Angle-high/low-shows power/dominance
Lighting- dim/bright - shows emotion e.g Jamel overwhelmed
Close up/ Mid shots- teacher in mid-shot
-students close up
-we feel the distance between the students and the teacher, gap in understanding.
A river flood occurs when water levels rise over the top of river banks. This flooding can happen in all river and stream channels. This includes everything from small streams to the world’s largest rivers.
Causes of River Flooding
River flooding typically happens for four reasons. They are:
Excessive rain from tropical storm systems making landfall
Persistent thunderstorms over the same area for extended periods
Combined rainfall and snowmelt
Dear Readers,
Today's Blog is about myself.
Information I will share about myself includes the fact that I'm from Fiji and I am 17 years old this week. I plan to keep studying and go to Uni. I am the oldest in my family and that comes with a lot of responsibilities.
In term 1 2021 I learned how to use hand tools to manufacture a Saw Horse to a specific size from a set of drawings. This took about 6 weeks (24 hrs) I will explain how to make a sawhorse in this blog post
Here is my finished project.
This project was made by using hand tools only. No powered tools were used apart from a battery-powered drill to drill the holes for the screws.
I enjoyed the angle out the leg the most.
I found cutting timber the most difficult part. I overcame this by measuring it right and following the sawhorse booklet.
To make a sawhorse I carried out the following processes.
Freedom Writer
Challenge
Erin Gruwell had a challenge with is husband leaving her. Erin and her husband did divorce. All the pain from her personal life just pushed her more to help her students graduate. And the more her dad saw this, the more he began to support her. Although Erin gave up a lot for The Freedom Writers( class), she also gained a lot.
Like
In the end, her dad supports her, he thinks she is an amazing teacher and he was proud to have a daughter like her.
