I probably didn't learn the most,but did learn a lot. I didn't learn that much because I was taking pictures for the class website. I learned that the inns didn't have much rooms. They only had like 4-5 bedrooms. Like today we have like 100 or something. I didn't like that we had to stand up a lot. I also didn't like that they only got 15 minutes per station. I thought that they should get a little more time to explain because some people had enough time to explain. I liked it because they shared a lot of facts.
The most surprising thing about energy was how fast it travels. It travels like a million miles per hour! We had this one experiment where we had to see if water in a cup would escape. Energy is important because we use it all day to do things. Like so we can move. If we all couldn't move we would accomplish nothing. There would need to be energy in food,so we couldn't be able to do anything. Energy is found literally everywhere. It is floating all around us. You can find it in food and other things like that. I would define energy as a floating invisible thing that floats around and it makes you want to do things.
When I met Joseph he looked like a big tough man.I told him he looks tough.He said,"I was in a war for the French King." I thought that was cool. It looked like he was a trapper because he had some sort animal fur. I knew I would like this job from the begging. I saw a bunch of traps everywhere. It looked like he was catching beaver skin because he was by a river. That could also mean other animals like beavers,but I think their main catch is beavers. Joseph showed me how to set up traps (that was really cool). It matters so much how you set up the trap. Also he taught me what foods that each animal likes. He taught me that because that is how you lure the animals into the traps. Then I had my first test. It was hard and you do sweat,but I had caught my first beaver. This was my catch of the day.
Comparing Light Bulbs With Difference in Wattage
I thought that 100 watt bulb would give more light ,but I also thought that it would stay on for a long time.For the 25 watt bulb, I thought it would just flat out be the worst light bulb other than it helping the environment. The 25 watt I learned from it. It was the longest light bulb I have ever heard of. I thought 750 hours was long, but when 2,500 hours showed up I was amazed. Comparing Different Types of Light Bulbs with Smaller Wattage
I learned that the CFL 24 Watt light bulb proved me wrong.I thought that the CFL light bulb would produce more heat than the Incandescent because it had a bigger light output than the Incandescent ,so I thought the CFL would be hotter.We already knew most of the facts for the Incandescent before.That made things a little easier. Also the CFL light goes lots longer. Comparing Different Light Bulbs with Different Lumens
I thought that the Incandescent bulb with 100 watts would have more lumens.I thought that because the Incandescent has 100 watts so it would produce more. The CFL had 24 watts,so you would think less watts wouldn't be as good. That makes perfect sense doesn't it. Then the CFL light bulb was way brighter than the Incandescent and it also lasts longer. I wonder which one would cost more? The lumens matter,so much more than the watts.
Some thing that was easy was getting questions at the beginning.It was easy because it would be really general questions like,Do you live in the U.S.A.? A hard thing is when they ask you a question like,Are you close to interstate 39?It is hard because you have to search it up on the web or go to google maps,but to me this is a fun.It is fun because I look to use computers and I like to learn stuff about my state.Another fun thing is to get general questions for the questioners.I think a boring thing is my job. I am a signer (see mystery skype page). A signer holds up signs to tell the other class stuff like,One moment please,and your turn.I think it is boring because all you have to do is put up signs. Some advice I can give to the people who have this job next is you have to stay on track and pay ATTENTION!The next job I want is Data Collector.I want to do this because you have to type in the questions we ask them or questions they ask us.Also every one looks at your work so they know who's turn it is.
1. What was your maximum temperature (use your Data Chart, not the picture)?
2. What was your minimum temperature (use your Data Chart, not the picture)? 3. What is your range? If you had any penalties or gifts, include those in your total. 4. What materials did you use in your insulated bottle (type them in order from your first layer, second layer, and third layer.)? 5. Why did you choose the materials that you did? 6. What are some materials that you didn't choose? 7. Why didn't you choose them? 8. Explain any blips on your graph (if you have them). Why did it do that? 9. Is an insulator a good or a poor conductor of heat energy? 1. Our maximum degrees was 93.3. 2.Our minimum degrees was 70.6. 3.Our range degrees was 22.7. Luckily our group did not have any penalties. 4.In our first layer we had foam. In our second layer we used foam. In our third layer we tried foam again,but it wouldn't fit in the bag. We changed the material to quilt. 5.We choose all foam because it was thick and a little bit hot.We choose the quilt because it was like a blanket and blankets are made to keep you warm. 6.We didn't chose nylon,aluminum,felt any metal things,and polyester batting. 7.We didn't use them because they were either thin or we knew they wouldn't work. 8.We had some blips from my partner moving the temp pros.Also,our bottle would float. 9.An insulator is a poor conductor because heat doesn't flow through the object. WOOD COPPER BRASS ALUMINUM PLASTIC I think the best conductor will be the aluminum.I think the second best conductor will be the brass.The third best conductor will be the copper.Then I think the second to worst conductor will be the plastic.I think the worst conductor will be the wood.
1.The heat transferred from the hot water into the rod.Then the butter would slip down the pole.Then we would take the rod and the butter out. 2.My predictions were almost perfect.I knew that metal attracts heat so those two were in my top three,but then I thought aluminum would conduct the best. I don't know why it was a random guess. 3.The copper and the aluminum.They were the best because they both attract heat.Which makes the heat go up the rod and makes the butter slip down the rod. 4.The wood and the plastic rod were the worst because they don't attract to heat.Which makes no heat go through the rod,and the butter would slip off if they attracted heat better. 5.I think that water is a good conductor because the water attracted to the temperature pro. 6.I think it matters because we need to know if things could burn us or not.We use conductors for experiments,for things made out of metal,and stuff like that.Also we use a lot of plastic to make things and wood.
I think it is easier to write these questions as a Patriot.I think that because we all are patriots (sort of)which makes us act like them,so we have those kind of questions. I think that I learn more when you do it with pencil and paper. I think that because you have to read the questions,and it sort of stresses you which makes you work harder. I am more used to it so it is not as hard as I said,but the computer way is more fun.It is more fun because it is cool how people make these awesome things.
