Kiwi Can

This morning LS1 had the first session of kiwi can for term 4 . We had 2 new teachers and there names were mr c manu & mr latu we learned about respect and how to respect yourself .at first we played a energiser called tooty fruity and if mr C manu said apple we would have to jump forwards if he said orange we would have to jump backwards and if he said banana we would have to jump the opposite way . For me this energiser was hard because we had to keep up with what he was saying .

Why Did We Play These Games :
I Think We Played These Games To Learn More About Respect .

Rube Goldberg Simple Machine

LI: To make a working Rube Goldberg machine with the 6 simple machines.

There are 6 simple machines. They are: Pulley, Screw, Inclined Plane, Wedge, Wheel and Axle and a Lever. We needed to use these 6 simple machines to create our own Rube Goldberg machines to complete one of three scenarios. The three scenarios we had to choose from I were: Tipping dice out of a cup, putting a ball into a cup and turning on a netbook. We needed to try to make a successful working Rube Goldberg machine using as many of the simple machines as we could. Rube Goldberg created machines to complete tasks in simple ways. The task we had to complete was trying to turn on a chromebook and the materials we used were four wooden shapes, one meter ruler,toy car,  yoyo, container, string, and a cup..the simple machines we used were the pulley, lever, inclined plane, and a wheel and axle.   

Reflection 

Some of the challenges we faced were trying corporate as a group and share ideas because everyone had different ideas and it was hard to keep up with all the different ideas.  Why do you think this failed ? I think our simple machine failed because we didn't have put everything in the right place. Something we could change or did differently to make it work was to use the right materials.

Point of View

I think the reason our simple machine failed was because... Something I think we could change or do differently is...
