Volleyball (PE)

What were my skills like before we started the unit?

I had never played volleyball before so I had no knowledge on anything to do

What are your skills like now?

I have improved a lot, considering I hadn't played before

What specific skills can you now use in a game?

Serving and receiving, I like them the best and have improved on them the most 

What is the hardest thing about playing volleyball?

Receiving the ball can actually sometimes be difficult, as a netball player my instinct is to catch it but with volleyball you can't catch/hold the ball

What did you like most about volleyball?

Improving my skills and being able to see a difference from where I started to where I am now

Types of Energy

 Intro: What are we learning about?

Types of Energy , Energy Transformations

8 types of energy:

Heat: produced by movement of particles quickly (the sun)

Kinetic: allows anything to move (a car)

Sound: vibrating particles cause sound (bell sounds from microwave)

Light: from x-rays to visible light (when and x-ray uses light for your bones)

Electric: found in everything that uses electricity (light bulb)

Elastic potential: found in stretched things (a rubber band being flung)

Chemical potential: found in fuels or foods (any food)

Gravitational: found in objects high off the ground (dropping your phone)

Energy can not be created or destroyed, it just moves from one type to another: Transformation

 

 Example of energy transformation

Pontoon Bridge

Pontoon Bridge

Intro: Pontoon bridges are ones that are easily taken down and put back together to cross rivers in the wars, the soldiers needed them because swimming through lots of rivers would tire them

Why are these bridges created?

They were used very frequently to cross rivers in the civil war

How are they built?

They're connected with planks and ropes

How are they reusable?

Because they would take the bridges down and use it in another river

Schooner

 What does the schooner look like?

A schooner is a sailing boat with big white sails on it, It has fore-and-aft sails on it,, it has an overall length of 131 feet and a waterline length of at least 30,, a typical prairie schooner weighed about 1,300 pounds when empty

If I was standing on the deck of a Schooner, I would see the water, and it was be close because the deck is very low down, I also think that the noise that it would make while it cut through the water would be calming, as it looks like a calming sailing boat,,

VIA splashpage

 Start a new slide deck and save it in your WGA folder. Add the screenshot of your strengths to a page so that you can refer back to them.
