Physical Education-Floor Hockey.

Hockey-
On a scale of 1-10, rate yourself on how well you participated in the floor hockey lesson on Tuesday-
I think I would rate myself a 6/10
Why did you rate yourself that way? Give 3 reasons for your reasons-
I have rated this because for one,
- I feel as I did participate, but it wasn't to the fullest.
- I wasn't really going for the ball.
- I would pass the ball to someone instead of shooting for goal.
What skills do you think you did well? (eg: passing, dribbling, shooting, encouraging teammates, trying your best)
I think my dribbling skills were pretty good and sticking with the ball. I also feel I was being considerate of others and shared the ball around evenly.
What skills did you use to pass and dribble the ball (eg: Pointing your body+stick toward your target, how well you held the stick, how you controlled the ball, etc)-
I used dribbling skills, two hands on the stick. I was concentrating but also having fun.
What do you think you need to improve on in today's lesson? Once you have chosen a skill or strategy to improve, give 2 ways you will do that in Physical Education today-
I think I need to improve on being confident and just shooting the ball into the goal if I am close enough, and I also think I need to improve on trying to get the ball if another player has it.

Migration

Here is a "My Simple Show" on what Migration is and what are Push n Pull Factors (The meanings).

I have created this with Mijieli.

How to create a model atom.

Heres how to make a model atom using school items.

The equipment you'll need for this are-
- Tape
- Paper (Any size)
- Beads ( 3 different colours)
- Blue Tac
- String (30cm preferably, but doesn't matter)
- Any item you can draw with (to draw the electrons)

Method-
- Choose any type of element you want to do from 1-7 on the periodic table
- Get the right amount of beads with different colours representing the Neutrons & Protons)
- Attach the neutrons and proton beads to the blue tac (the right amount to what element you chose)
- Attach ^ that to the string (you can do this anyway, just make sure they stay attached)
- Get your piece of paper, cut two doughnut-shaped  (KNOWN AS THE OUTER SHELL) pieces out, one big and one small enough to fit inside the big one.
- Draw how many electrons you need to in each circle for example, in the small circle of Be-Beryllium would need 2 and 2 in the bigger one.
- Tape your string that is attached to your beads, to the outer shells at the right height so your beads hang in the middle of the smaller shell.
- Cut a square piece of paper out and write your elements chemical symbol, the atomic number and mass number, just like you would see on the periodic table.

What are the 3 main particles in an atom? 
As written above the 3 main particles in an atom are
- Protons
- Neutrons
- Electrons

Electrons are found in the Outer shells also known as orbitals that surround the nucleus of an atom, protons and neutrons are found in the centre of the orbitals (middle of the atom). These 3 particles are so small that the human eye cannot possibly see them, a microscope can also not see the particles.



The element I chose to do was C-Carbon
Here is a picture of my model atom I created and some models my class have created

What is a Drill Gauge?

What is a Drill Gauge?
A drill gauge is normally made of steel but can be made out of other types of metal for example; Aluminium.
The reason for its existence is to accurately measure or check the size of any drill bit. It is mostly used by engineers and can come with and in many different sizes.

What does a Drill Gauge look like?
A drill gauge has around 27 different sized holes with the sizes under or next to the hole.
The length is roughly around 150mm+ (if you want to add a slight curve on the edges) long and the width would roughly be around 66mm. It depends on what type of Drill Gauge you're looking at or wanting to create and how many holes you want.








Here is a photo of a drill gauge one of my classmates had created.
The one I personally created has been given away as a gift for another so it could not be shown.

The one my class and I have created has only 8 holes of different sizes, this being because they are the most commonly used drill bit sizes that we use or would probably need future wise. Some of us have also spray painted our Drill Gauge just to add colour, and some have kept theirs plain as you can see. On my drill gauge, I did not add any colour just because I liked the silver shine.


What are some of the measuring tools we used for this project?
While creating a drill gauge we obviously needed to have a tool appropriate for measuring.
For this topic, we used 6 measuring tools to achieve the exact sizes, they are-
-Ruler (Used for measuring on where to mark out our lines, and to measure the sizes)
-Engineer square (Getting accurate lines after marking it out)
-Vernier (This is just to assure that my first measurements and my draw filing were accurate)
-Odd leg caliper (Was used to help mark out a curve at the end of my Drill gauge)
-Micrometer ( I used to mark and check the thickness of the aluminium piece.
-Spring divider x3 (I used for engraving lines and the distance between each marking point)

How to use a vernier and micrometer-
Here are two videos on how to use and read a vernier and micrometer.

Here is my Tinkercad/digital Drill Gauge.
We created these after finishing our real drill gauge.

While creating this digital drill gauge, for this we had to create the same shapes as the real drill gauge, we also had to use the exact same sizes, so we could distance the holes in the correct places, we also had to check the thickness is the same and that the holes are the proper size. I feel like this was a fun project to do and that the learning behind this topic was also a lot but helpful.
