Inquiry

L.I to balance the supply and demand foe profit

We played the coffee shop game. In this game we had just opened our own coffee shop and we had 14 days to make as much money as possible. We were given $30 to spend to stock up for the first day, we had to buy the cups, coffee, sugar and the milk before every day to serve coffee. We could also adjust the about of coffee, the creaminess, sugar, milk and the price we sell it at. Each day we had a different weather forecast, so we had to adjust the price depending on that. There would me more or less costumers depending on our reputation. If we had a good reputation there would be more costumers and if we had a bad reputation there would be less customers.

We had to pick a setting of our choice. Then we had to write a tell sentence and a show sentence for our setting. We had to write what we felt, smelt, felt, head and tasted, we added figurative to our show sentence to be more descriptive.


Maths

L.I to use statistical and scientific methods to study the effect on wingspan and area on lift

We learnt how to make graphs to study how far each plane travels. We had 10 variations of planes to test, which ranged from a 2 cm wingspan to a 20 cm wingspan. The plane that traveled the shortest distance was the 2 cm plane, the plane that traveled the furthest distance was the 18 cm plane.

 Our interpretation is that the bigger the wingspan the further the plane goes but when it reaches a certain limit the plane will not go as far as the others. I think one of our mistakes was that some of the planes were thrown harder than others for example the 18 cm plane and the 14 cm plane.
