furnware

on Thursday we went to furnware we walked through the factory where they make the products. we learnt about innovation.

whats the difference

for inquiry, we are learning to identify what's the difference between these there words   

electronics

under construction, starting electronics emergency survival kits

tech challange

My group is Harry, Jacob, Max and Seamus

Purpose: We have been investigating innovators and innovation. We have discovered that innovators have special traits that help them to be leaders in their fields. We also discovered that we share many of the same traits. We had 20 minutes to build the tallest tower made of pasta and marshmallows. We identified creative and challenging because we made a triangle shape no other groups did it. And we challenged each other to make it better. I think I share determined, creative, hard working and problem-solving. (Our group would have come 2nd if ours didn't fall over at the end just before Mrs. Ellmore measured it.)

I think next time we should try different ones.

Another one

Quad Death

Writing Purpose: To inform other HNI students the rules of the game and to develop our creative thinking ability.

Game Adaptations

Use your creative thinking to explore possible adaptations to this game to enhance both the fun factor and the ability to win the game. I have given you one example for each category but challenge yourself with other ideas and thinking.

Attack	Defence	Game Plan/Strategy
Use balls other than netballs that aren’t as heavy so the speed of the traveling ball also speeds up the game.	4 players from each quad are allowed to sit on the bleachers to stretch with their arms and intercept flying balls.	People on the perimeter of the quad pass the ball to someone closer to the bleachers to allow them to throw it further into the opponent's area.

Attack	Defence	Game Plan/Strategy
Each 4 quarters have a ball the aim of the game is to throw the ball and get it out as fast as you can	If a ball comes in your square get out as fast as you can and watch the balls at all times	catch the ball and throw away as fast as posable and try not to hurt anyone

poster electronics

The Get Ready Get THRU Website says that in our Emergency Kit we need a TORCH and spare batteries.

At Electronics I am going to design and make an Emergency Light for myself.
