What is a simple machine?


    Image result for screwdriver
  • A machine is a system that changes the relationship between effort (the force applied) and load (the weight lifted or moved).
  • Machine makes our lives easier.
  • Machine helps us to lift, push, pill, turn, cut and join things.
  • Wheels, rollers, levers, gears and pulleys all make it easier to move a heavy load by reducing friction or magnifying forces.

Forces




















We have been learning about forces.

What I found out: I found out that if forces become unbalanced it could easily affect an object.

Something I'm wondering about: If humans didn't have any support force, would we sink into the ground?

Memoir

SARAH GET UP AND GET READY FOR SCHOOL!” That was the first sentence I heard early in the cold frosty morning, I was hoping that the weather would be the same thing in movies, where it’s sunny and everyone’s smiling, but it’s the complete opposite. I groaned and lazily got up, I wasn’t that excited for the first day of school.
  
  I arrived at school and felt like everyone was looking at me and judging me. I was feeling anxious, I was asking myself a variety of questions. Was my skirt too long? Was I meant to button up my cardigan? Were my shoes meant to have straps on them? How come their skirts are short? Why do they look different from me? I didn’t see any of my friends yet, so I stayed under a tree, I thought I looked like a child that had just lost their mum in the supermarket.


  I was in the middle of my daydreaming when suddenly I heard the school bell ring, I saw someone lining up behind a group of girls, so I decided to line up there too.While I was in the line, I saw my friends talking to one another, all of my closest friends were in a different class, so it’s a pity that they’re not in my class, but I still had people whom were kinda my friends in my class.
  

  After about a decade of waiting in the line, the teacher finally showed up. She stood in front of the line, waiting for us to quiet down. We all lowered our voices and waited for our teacher to give us her instructions. She smiled and let us in our new classroom.

Statistical Investigation


















What did you learn?
I learnt that a lot of students own a device or use one, and that some students sleep earlier than 8pm and a lot later than 11pm.

What would you do differently if you did it again?
I would put more graphs and explain our conclusion more.

What question would you still like to know more about?

Would sleeping earlier than 8pm help us focus more in school?

Would sleeping later than 11pm be a bad choice? As we don't get more sleep.
