Swimming

L.I to learn water safety

This was out last week for swimming. For this lesson we wore life jackets because we were in deeper water than usual. In this lesson we learnt about how to stay afloat when you are stranded and also how to preserve heat. The first thing we did in groups of roughly five or six, we held on to the other person's life jacket and floated on our back.

 The second thing we learnt was the HELP procedure, HELP stands for heat escape lessening position. In this procedure we had to bring our knees up to chest level and leave it there to preserve heat. Lastly we learnt the pencil dive. First we have to put one hand across and hold that side of the life jacket. After that we had to put the other hand behind our head and then we took a big step and jump. I like going to swimming because we get to learn different techniques and it also teaches us how to be safe.

Rube Goldberg machine



LI: to make a Rube Goldberg Machine.



We made a Rube Goldberg Machine that includes all of the six simple machines. We had to choose one of three things that the Rube Goldberg machine has to accomplish. The things that we had to choose from were rolling dice out of a cup, putting a ball into a cup and to turn a chrome book on. The thing that we chose was to roll the dice out a cup. 


Our first plan was having an incline plain and a marble hit dominoes, but that plan didn't work because the dominoes kept falling back so we made another plan. Our final plan was first hitting the books with a bat hitting a backwards wedge down an incline plane to hit a person and that person cut's the string that is attached to a felt tip pen. The felt tip pen dropped and hit another person. He will then push another person and that other person will lift a chair from the back to make a car roll down an incline plane to hit the cup and roll the dice inside.


Making the machine was a challenge because we had to figure out what we would make our simple machine out of. I would have changed the string part because it did not cut and I would have also changed the toy car to something else because it got stuck in the tunnel.
