Explanation Writing


Have you ever wondered what screwdrivers are made out of? Or why we have them?

A screwdriver is one of many machines, and possibly one of the simplest. There are three types of screwdrivers the philips head screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver and an electric screwdriver. A screwdriver has three main parts, the handle, the shaft and the tip. The shaft is a long tough steel pole on the end of the handle, the handle makes it easier to hold and to use and the tip is basically what makes a screwdriver work. The tip inserts into the screw head to turn it. Handles are usually made out of wood, metals or plastic and are hexagonal, square, or ovals to stop them from rolling when they are set down.

In 1908 Robertson Screw invented the screwdriver and in the early 1930s Henry Frank Phillips invented the phillips head screw / screwdriver. The earliest documented screwdrivers were used in Europe in the late Middle Ages. They were probably invented in the late 15th century, either in Germany or France.

A screwdriver is pretty easy to use. Start with the screw, place the screw on the tip and hold it there with two fingers. Apply light pressure while turning it in a clockwise direction until the screw is through the wood.  

Screwdrivers make our lives easier because they take hardly anytime to use and can repair basically anything. They can repair broken sunglasses, hinges on a door and lots more. They’re also quite small and don’t take up much space.

High Impact Car Race Results




First we modified our cars to make sure they didn't roll over, we all had the same material so it was fair. There were three races, Fastest, Stopping and then Distance. We had 5 minutes at the start to adjust our cars and then we did our races. the order went car one car two car three and so on. 


For the first race we just let the car go down the ramp because it was the fastest one, but for the second race which was the stopping one we taped a piece of tape to the middle and slowly took it down the ramp so it would stop at the green line, and for the last race we put car down normally. 


I think our car done pretty good, The stopping race we made it to the top two. We could've added something else to make it better but we done pretty well with what we did.

Vortex


Aim: to see how far the vortex cannon can shoot.
Equipment: Bucket, tape, rubbish bag, cups.
Method: the teacher put a hole in the the bottom of the bucket
then we put bags on top and taped it.
next we stacked the cups and hit the rubbish bag to try knock the cups over.

result: when we tried knocking the cups over from 3 meters away it didn't fall over.
discussion: if i done this again i would've made the bag tighter.

The Physics of Car Racing

What has been done to make this a 'fair test'.
  • All the cars are racing on the same track.
  • They're racing at the same time.
  • Everyone has the same materials.
  • We all have the same time to create/work on our cars.
What forces are needed to make the car go faster and how have you modified your car accordingly?
  • Acceleration
  • Gravity 
  • We taped some string to the back of the car.
  • we used tape to stick down the balloon and the string.
  • We taped the balloon on the top of the car to make it look pretty!
What forces are needed to make the car stop and what adjustments have you made to try and stop it by the line?
  • The drag/friction in the car slows it down by pulling it.
  • We added the sting to the car to lower it so it doesn't go past the line.
What forces are needed to make the car travel further and what adjustments have you made to achieve this?
  • Acceleration makes the car go faster so it won't slow down.
  • We will pull the string down the ramp to make the car go faster and further.

Friction

What will have more/less friction
Carpet
I think there will be less friction than the lino and grass but more than the concrete  
Concrete
I think this will have less because it’s more rough and bumpy
Grass
I think the grass will have less friction
Lino
I think the lino will have the most friction because it’s smooth

Conclusion:
i think the best place to play tug of war is on the grass or concrete

i think the grass because its more rough than the lino and the carpet

i think the concrete because its probably the most rough and has the least friction
