LO: Communicate what you have learnt and how you will apply what you know to the year 9 Business Kete...


What did you learn about?
 I learnt about problem-solving strategies, one of them is Joint problem-solving (JPS)- "Taking small steps together" and we also learned positive thoughts, thought challengers and negative thoughts when you have negative thoughts you need to think of thought challengers and that will give you positive thoughts.

When discussing "Thought Challenges" what did you notice about yourself?
When I think I often react Positively or Negatively
However, I can use thought challengers, for example when I have a problem like when someone is ignoring me or is talking bad about me I can always think about positive thoughts where maybe they have a problem and they just can't talk about it to others

What solutions can you try when you face a challenge during the Business & Enterprise kete? Give an example

During the business and enterprise kete, I will be able to overcome challenges by using resilience for example when no one is buying in our stall we can always try new ideas and not give up until we get buyers.

Can you redesign the coping

Wood tech blog

28/08/18, Tuesday

           First, we were given a piece of paper with drawings of three measurements of wood with one filled out, we needed to complete the measurements of the two remaining rectangles and we have to figure out the planning of the puzzle. We were helped by our teacher on how to measure the parts and how we can figure out how to do it. After doing the paperwork we need to do it on wood by following the same steps given by the teacher on the paper.
 
          After finishing the paperwork and transferring the measurements we need to cut two of the wood using the radio saw and follow the guidance of our measurements.

         We also need to drill holes on the other one with the negative sign on it and after drilling it we need to fix the drilling using a chisel and then we need to check if one of the parts will fit through the hole created, we need to straighten the curved parts so we use a file to fix the curve parts where we can't use the chisel. Then we need to check if all the parts will fit.

       

   

Transport in plants

Aim: To observe xylem tissue and prove that they transport water up the plant.

Equipment: One stick of celery with the leaves still attached, a retort stand, boss head and clamp, a Petri dish, water, food colouring, a knife a scalpel.

Method:
1. Make a cut across the base of the celery stalk to expose a new section of the stem.
2. Fill the petri dish with water and add a few drops of food colouring.
3. Place the celery stalk in the petri dish and gently it in place using the retort stand, boss head and clamp.
4. Leave the stalk undisturbed for 24 hours.
5. Remove the stalk from the clamp and petri dish. Cut the stem about 1/3 of the way up the stem.

Technology 3D printing

10/08/18, Friday

  We created some stuff for 3d printing in technology and we use tinkercad to create things to 3d print. We also used Thingiverse to find things we like to print and we use an online file converter so we can turn the images we want to use into an SVG file and then we import it into tinkercad after I import it I modify it.

Refraction through lenses

Aim: To investigate how different types of lenses refract light.
Method:
1. Set up a ray box, triple slit-ray slide and power supply.
2. Place the convex lens in the space. Place the ray box at the top of the page and shine three rays of light at the lens. Make sure the central light ray hits the lens at 90 degrees.
4. Repeat using the concave lenses.

Conclusion:
     When light passes throughthis type of lens, the rays all move away (diverge) from each other. One use of these lenses is in security peepholes in a door so that a  person inside a room cna see who is at the door without having to open it.
     The lenses described in the paragraph above is a concave.

      When light passes through this type of lens, the rays all move towards (converge) each other. One use of these lenses is in a camera, to focus the light onto the film or digital sensor. Magnifying glasses also use this type of lens.
        The lens described in the paragraph above is a convex.

Refraction

06/08/18, Monday

Aim: To investigate how light is affected by changing the substance it is travelling through.
Method: Collect the equipment from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.

Findings:

When light  travelling through air and passes into a glass block it slows down and bends inwards, towards normal. When light travelling through a glass block exits that block and enters the air, it speeds up and bends outwards, away from normal.

Science Curved Mirrors

02/08/18, Thursday

Aim: To investigate the reflection of light rays in concave and convex mirrors.
Equipment: Ray box, triple-slit ray slide, concave and convex mirrors, power supply.
Method:
1. Set up your ray box, triple-slit ray slide and power supply.
2. Place the mirrors in front of the light. Place the ray box at the top of the page and shine the 3 rays of light at the mirror.
3. Ensure that the middle ray of light is hitting the mirror at a 90-degree angle.
4. Carefully trace the direction of the three incident rays and the three reflected rays.

How to make a catchy jingle

1. Understand your product - You have to know what you sell, it's history, brand evolution, its uniqueness and how it stands out. Understand what the company has to offer, build around something unique or special about the product or service.

2. Keep it simple - You need to keep the song simple. The tune and lyrics should be simple so the people can remember it easily and choose words that are easy to understand.

3. Incorporate the brand's name - Make clever use of the product's name, where possible, If the product's name is too long, use words that will remind people of the brand.

4. Make it easy to sing - Use repetition of words. Use rhyme. This makes it easier for people to hum the jingle. The words should be such that it's easy to recollect and recite the jingle. Also, the tune should be easy to recall. Great if it's so impactive that people find it difficult to get it out of their heads.

5. Use figures of speech - Experiment with hyperbole (to exaggerate your idea to a small extent) and puns (to add a fun element). Use repetition to create an impact. Use similes for comparison. Try to make it different.

6. Consider the competitors - Find the product's competitors, study their advertising strategies, look at the jingles or slogans they use. Ensure that your jingle does not sound similar to theirs. 

7. You should be able to write well to come up with good words that can go together, be given a tune to, and best describe the product/service that the jingle is about.

8. Use words that will make an impact on the consumers and tell them about the product or service and what makes it different from the others in competition. End the jingle on a positive note.

9. Strike a balance between being too creative and too simplistic.

10. See that your jingle doesn't confuse the buyer, or it might result in an increase in the sales of your competitors' products. You don't want that.
