Summer Space Invaders – SLJ 2022-2023 – Kick start – Blog number 38

Hi,

My name is Mark and today i want to talk about what i did. I did the Summer Space Invaders activity and i found it pretty cool but using GeoGebra was challenging. Took me  a long time to draw my space invader.

This is what my  Space invader looks like :

How the number of pixels changes the image? By adding more pixels the image will become bigger.

Do you have another explanation to this  question?

Tell me in the comments.

Nano Girl’s Anti – gravity machine – SLJ 2022-2023 – Blog Number 32

Kia Ora,

Today I did another one of Nano Girl’s activity. It is called anti – gravity machine. You will need

  • 1 see through glass. I used a jam jar.
  • 1 flat card

Here is the video of me doing the experiment.

Gravity is pulling the water down and air pressure is pushing the card up. The both are equal, the water and card stay where they are!

Did you think that water will splash out?

Obstacle Course Chaos – SLJ 2022-2023 – Blog Number 31

Kia Ora,

Today I did a 6.7 km obstacle course through the streets of Auckland. The streets were full of chaos with road works, traffic, cones and barriers. There were also fire engines speeding down the street with sirens and horns. The busses were so near to me at the traffic lights. This blog post is about me doing the obstacle course with chaos where I walked for  almost 6 hours. Here is the screenshot of my walk. I started walking from from daddy’s office at No. 1 New North Road, Eden Terrace, Auckland 1021 to Commercial Bay, 7 Queen Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010 and to my destination at Westfield Newmarket, 277 Broadway, Newmarket, Auckland 1023.
