Projectile Motion

Projectile motion is an object which is thrown upwards at a angle to the horizontal. A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. The 3 parts of parts of projectile Angle,height and speed. For todays activity we were playing around with  paper and rubber bands. Everyone got a band and piece of paper each were testing out how far they can flick a little bit of paper by using the band. It was fun and messy

Levers


 For today we did an activity about Levers. Like what are the parts of a lever and the classes of a lever. What are the 3 parts of a lever? Pivot,Resistance and force.

You know it's a 1st class lever when when the fulcrum is in the middle of the effort and the load and the force is applied on either side

You know it's a 2nd class lever when the load is in the middle of the effort and the fulcrum at the end.

You know it's a 3rd class lever when the fulcrum and the load is on either side on the effort.

Sepak Takraw

For today´s activity we played an unusual game called Sepak Takraw which is like volley ball but in this game we cannot use our hands we can only use our knee, chest and head to hit the ball. This game is mostly played in Malaysia. We had to get into pairs of 3 to play this game. This was the first time i have experienced this game and after all it takes a while to get use to it.

I place myself as Achieved, because i think i did really well with my skills and movement. I think i did really well with hitting the ball accurate with my head

3 factors that influenced me were fun/enjoyment, competition,  skill level
My friends in my team were having fun with keeping the ball in the air. I was surprised to see how James can serve the ball like a pro to the other team with some interesting moves. Watching my friends have fun affected me to play more, for example James and Paris would kick the ball to each other and start vibing .

This game was like a competition to me as this was the first time i have ever played Sepak Takraw but i managed to step up to the game and play well with how the game is played. The techniques in this was pretty hard like kicking the ball accurate and trying to kick the ball to my team mate. I really think this game could be played well if we could practice our kicking. My energy level affected me to play more, for example when the ball would come to me i'll be ready to hit it.

My skill level was on fleek. My kicking wasn't accurate enough until we started versing the other teams. My serving was lit, I really enjoyed serving to the other side. I had a lot of energy at the time. My skill level encouraged me to play at my full potential.

Something i can do in the future is just play the game that is given and enjoy.
