Science Electric Motor Work

Group Members

Sam, Sophie and Isaac

The world is full of electrical technologies that help our lives.
Magnetic locks, spark plugs, fuseboards, motors,
speakers, touchpads, the list goes on!

Your group is going to be designing, making and testing an invention. This is something that uses electricity to do a job or solve a problem.

Some ideas for inventions are here

You can try one of those, or your own idea but
make sure you run it by your teacher first.

Lesson 1: Our Goal
What are you going to try to make?	Electrical Motor
Has it been checked by the teacher?	Yes

Lesson 1: Our Plan
Draw a diagram of how you think your invention is going to be assembled. The diagram should be good enough someone else could make it the same way as you.
What parts are you going to need?	Copper, magnet, battery, blue tack, safety pins, Insulation tape
What safety concerns are there when making/using this invention?	Electrical shocks, burns,
Has it been checked by the teacher?	Yes

Now you can go assemble and test your invention!

Lesson 2: Our Invention
What changes did you have to make from your original plan? Why did you make these changes?	We used some wire instead of safety pins and that did not work, so we just used safety pins Cause we did not have safety pins at the time.

Lesson 2: Testing our invention
Video
How well does your invention work?	Really well
What could you do to make it work better in the future?	Bigger battery

Lesson 3: How it works
Draw a circuit diagram showing how your invention is connected. You might need to look up some symbols for unusual components you have used.	Put a photo of your circuit diagram here
Explain how your invention works. Use what you have learned about electricity in class to do this.	The battery sends energy up the safety pins and into the copper circle making it turn.
What is a real world use for the device you have made?	Powering things like fans which would give airflow.

Today I am working on...

Playing in the right volume so we can hear everyone instead of just the drums. I will also work on what I failed last week witch was transitioning from chord to chord.

Guitar Techniques

The two techniques I am working on is transitioning from chord to chord without bumping other chords and trying to play together.

After the practice session I realised that we played together really well. I do need to touch up my chord playing a bit just to make it that little bit better. Are group sounded well when we played and I am proud of the group.

Music Chords

Today we learnt how to play 4 chords on the piano (CFG, AmFG, GCD, EmCD). Chords are made up of 2 or more chords. Miner chords sound dull and mager chords sound bright. We tried to guess chords that are partner was playing. It was really fun to explore with all the different sounds.

Music Structural Charts

In music on the 8/5/2017 we looked at music from different periods of time. The main thing we were learning was how to make and read structural charts. We learned this because it can help us right music.

Harpsichord and Piano difference

The harpsichord plucks the strings and a piano hammers the strings making a totally different sound.

Instrument Challenge

I got 70% have a go and see if you can beat me.

Baroque and Classical music

In music we are discovering Baroque and Classical music, here's what Bailey and I got:

• Baroque music is more upbeat than classical music.
• Classical music is slow which makes it sound depressing.
• Baroque music was originated from 1600 to 1750.
• Classical music was originated from 1730 to 1820.
• They are both a western type of music.

I prefer Baroque because it is an up beat tempo and is really cool.
