C.I.P Week 6

Today in C.I.P we were working on the garden, the outdoor classroom, a greenhouse that is by the garden and a group with Mark that was doing pruning with Mark and cutting thew ivy off the trees to stop it growing more on the trees. After it is cut off it will grow back eventually but the group cut it until we couldn't see that much ivy on the trees some were bigger trees but Megan and I worked together to get it done faster.

Period 3 and 4 Megan and I were helping Mr. Ticsh got strong people to help him lift broken concrete from the new greenhouse. here is an image of what we had to try and deal with but its not the exact trees we did.

It was a lot of fun to help today I wish we could do it every day and I love helping in gardens.

C.I.P

Today in C.I.P we were doing two things. One thing was an outside classroom and a garden I was in the garden grope. It is cool just trust me but I was working in the garden. What we did with the garden is we turned over the old soil and made it darker than it was before started. We got some compost and mixed it in with the dirt. What we did last week was removed things that were on top of the garden that we are working on. We did more digging after morning tea and before as well. Some of us wore gloves and we all used either a spaid or a garden fork. Some teachers took pictures. Also, some students helped Mark prune trees. What we also did in the garden was made a pitch type of thing around all of the soil. I was in the outside classroom at the start then i moved into the garden group and just to say I think everyone did a wonderful job. It was also a lot of fun to help with both of the groups.

Solar Energy
Catching the sun movie

Materials:


  • Cups small. (x4)
  • Water.
  • Tinfoil.
  • 1 sheet of black paper.
  • 2 sheet oh white paper.
  • Thermometer.
  • 1 large cup.
  • 1 heat lamp.

Steps


  • Get all the materials.
  • Lay things out.
  • Put water in the little cups.
  • Put the big cup on a smaller cup that has water in the cup.
  • Then put the cups on two 2 different white pieces of paper (1has a big plastic cup on the small cup.) Put 1 on a piece of a black piece of paper. And the last one on a piece of tinfoil.
  • Use the sun or a heat lamp on the cups with the water in them.
  • When you have done that use the thermometer and get the temperature of the
  • Water.

Conclusion

When you leave them for 40 min the water of the white paper was at 15 and it went up to 17 then 15 min later it went to 18. The white paper and cup on top was at 13 and went up to 16 then 15 min later it was 17. The black paper was at 12 and went up to 24 then it is at 23. The tinfoil was 13 and went up to 22 then it was at 22.

Wind speed - Making an anemometer.

Anemometer

MATERIALS 


  1. PENCIL.
  2. TAPE.
  3. PIN.
  4. 4 STRAWS (2 CARDBOARD AND 2 PLASTIC)
  5. 4 WHITE CUPS. 

STEPS

  1.   Get 4 white cups.
  2. Put 2 holes in each cup.
  3.  Put the straw that you made in the holes that are in the cup.
  4.   Put a cardboard straw and a plastic straw together (by putting the cardboard straw in a side of a plastic straw)
Once you have made an anemometer we are going to record the wind speed.

Group size: 5

You will need:

Anemometer (above) 

Roles:


  • Timekeeper
  • Counter
  • Recorder
  • Anemometer Manager
  • Wind generator
  1. Mount the anemometer in a place that has full access to the wind from all directions.
  2. When the timekeeper says "Go", the counter in each group will count how many times the marked cup passes them in one minute and write it down.
  3. If possible, repeat the above step four (4) times and record the average number of spins on the chart.

FINDINGS

  • Record how many times it spins using the table below.
You will need to create the wind yourself by blowing. Get 4 different wind speeds by blowing.

You will need to time them and count the number of spins.

  • Can you make a statement connecting the number of spins of your anemometer and the speed of the wind?
