Wood Tools!

 Today in our google meet for tech we were learning about the wood tools. What I mean is that Mr Grundy gave us a doc to fill in about questions about wood tools. Yes, we did have videos to watch, which I was so grateful for. Anyways, here is the activity and I have to say every time we do these task it makes me actually want to be there. I can't wait for lock down to be OVER so I can start doing my project. Which I can't seem to choose. Remember to STAY SAFE and HAPPY MAORI LANGUAGE WEEK!

Wood tools

Make a copy of this document, name it “Yourname tools” (eg, SioneTools) and share it with me. (grundy@tamaki.ac.nz)

Section One. The Tri square

2

    1   Watch the video in the link below and answer the questions that follow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnrXEi9_F3M

Q1. In woodwork, the word “square” means at an angle of how many degrees?

Answer.     90 degrees from each other 

Q2.  Name the two main parts of the tri square.

Answers. !. Stock. 2,  Blade.

Q3.  Why is it so important to hold the tri square tight against the side of the wood when marking?

Answer.   It is important because if you don't then the line will be drawn cricket and you won’t get the exact angle of 90 degrees!

Section Two.

  

The Backed saw.

(Often referred to as the Tenon Saw)

Watch the video in the link below and answer the

questions that follow.

 (This video refers to a similar sort of joint.)

Q1,  Holding the saw with your first finger pointing forward on the handle is called?

Answer. The Pistol grip

Q2.  The back corner of the saw blade is called the Heel and the front corner is called the Toe

Q3.  The wood that we remove to form the trench of a joint is called the waste wood.  Why is it so important to make the sawcut on the waste wood side of the line?

Answer.  Why is because if we don’t cut it on the waste wood side, then our joint would be a loose joint.

Section Three.

  

The Chisel

Watch the video in the link below and answer the

questions that follow.

 (This video refers to a similar sort of joint.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fowuBaqYQFY

 

Q1,  To chisel out the trench the workpiece must be held firmly in a Vice.

Q2,  The chisel is used together with a  Mallet  cutting uphill toward the centre from each side. 

Q3,  We never angle the chisel in a Downwards. direction when removing waste wood.

Q3,  When using a chisel we always keep both hands where?

Answer.  

Section Four.

The Marking gauge

Watch the video in the link below and note how the

 marking gauge is used to mark the depth of the trench.

This video shows a housing joint the same  as the 

one that you will make for your project.

Last question!

Why do you think that we mark the depth of the trench with a marking gauge that makes a groove in the wood and not with a pencil line?

Answer.  Because when using a marking gauge you can feel it when you get to the point. When you use a pencil line you don't know when it ends. 

First session with Mr Grundy!

 Today we had our first google meet for our new tech groups. This time  have Mr Grundy who does hard materials. It was good to see him and to know what we were doing this rotation. We learnt about a housing joint and how to make one. We had to watch a video to do that and answer the questions which are down below. I hope that when we get out of lock down we can do this in person. Remember to STAY SAFE!

Intermediates Hard Materials Technology.

“Working from Home”

!.  Make a copy of this document and name it “Your Name” (eg.  Charles Bronson)  Share it with “grundy@tamaki.ac.nz”.   

2.  Watch the Woodwork “How to Video” and answer the following five questions:

a) What is the joint that we will use to join two pieces of wood together called?

Answer :Housing joint 

b) Name the three tools that we use to mark out where we will make cuts in the wood.

1.Ruler

2.Pencil

3.Square

c) When we draw a line “square” to the edge, what angle does it make withe the edge?

Answer: 90 degrees

d) What is a marking gauge used for?

Answer: To see where the line is which shows you where to cut  

e) If your joint is too tight to put together, how do you fix that?

Answer: To fix it you sand it down with some sanding paper 

Last STEM session!

 Today we finally got to see our tech teachers at Tamaki. The sad part was that it was our last session with them, and of course it would have to be through google meets. Even though it was our last session we made the most of it. For the last session we got to learn about the States of Matter. Which are Solids,Liquids and Gases. Below our task were to take photos or get pictures off google. We needed to get 10 solids, 10 liquids and 10 gases. I'm very sad that we had to do our last session through meets. This term being in STEM/Science was AWESOME! I learned new things. My favourite session has to be when we did our heart rate and the pH one. Hopefully my next tech rotation can be just as good as this one. I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to MRS SHARMA for teaching me all of these new things. I wish you the best for your next rotation group. Anyways I hope you enjoy this and remember to STAY SAFE!

Topic 10-States of matter   Notes:  Matter- the substance all things are made of 3 states    -liquid  -solid  -Gas- water vapor Liquid state takes the shape of whatever you put it in and its volume always stays the same  Particles are separated and can ,move freely  Solid state is like a thick shape and volume. Particulars are held together in a organised structures Gaseous state is the steam that comes out of water vapour. It takes on the

Solid	Liquid	Gas

Pulse/Heart rate TASK!

 So this is my teach class for the day. We were learning about Pulse/Heart rates. We had to do a series of things to see which gets the highest and the lowest rate. We did this is pairs and I was with Kiarah. One funny part was when Kiarah slipped trying to catch the ball. Anyways she was ok at the end. I hope I get to do this is the future. ENJOY! 

On the bottom is a photo of the watch we used to see our heart/pulse rate.

Carefully read and understand this recording and planning guide so you are systematic in scientific thinking, experimenting, recording and interpreting. 

Follow logically through each section so you are thorough in your science investigation steps. 

Complete each section with details needed so you have carefully logged your project...and so an outsider can know and understand too.

1	My science investigation TOPIC:  Pulse Rates
2	My investigation question Investigate the effect of different types of activity on the heart rate/pulse rate. 1.Which action/activity resulted in the highest heart rate?  2.Which action/activity resulted in the lowest heart rate? 3.Why do you think this might be? Hypothesis -I think running as fast as possible on the spot will have the highest heart/pulse rate. -I think that sitting down I would have the lowest pulse/heart rate.
3	Background research and knowledge I will explore as a backdrop to my investigation High blood pressure-120mmHg Low blood pressure-80 mmHg
4	Aim of my investigation
5	STEP 1 Put on the watch on tight so that your heart/pulse rate is correct STEP 2 Wait for your heart rate to go down STEP 3 Then you do the activities for 30 seconds and see if you heart/pulse rate goes up or down STEP 4 Write down the results  STEP X BOOM your done
6	My possible recording method Data collection table:  Name of the Activity Length of Activity Beat counted in 30 seconds Heart Rate mmHg Sitting 30 seconds 100/95 95mmHg Jogging on Spot 30 seconds 150/93 150mmHg Throwing and Catching ball 30 seconds 119/109 109mmHg Stretching 30 seconds 135/121 121mmHg Star Jumps 30 seconds 120/118 118mmHg Running as fast as possible on spot 30 seconds 119/160 160mmHg
7	Result:  1.Which action/activity resulted in the highest heart rate?    The activity that had my heart/pulse rate the highest was running 2.Which action/activity resulted in the lowest heart rate?    The activity that my heart/pulse rate the lowest was just sitting down 3.Why do you think this might be? I think that it happened because when you sit down you're relaxing your heart/pulse rate. When you're running it pumps it up.
