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.

200 challenge

For today's activity we contributed a fitness game with the yr 9's. To begin we played a game of tag to warm up. It was fun and challenging as there were lots of sneaky people tagging me from the back. After that we had to get into groups of 3 and mix up with the yr 9's. Unfortunately there wasn't enough yr 9's so i partnered up with James. James started the first 20 squats and then we took turns. Believe it or not we managed to do 200 together then we both did 20 sit ups each. Then we finished of by doing 20 laps. James and I took turns each. Finally we finished and had a massive rest.

I place my self as Achieved, because I can not believe how well i managed with my squats . Also because how i managed to still do sit ups in the low condition of energy i had left and my thighs were suffering with pain.


3 factors
Fitness,Challenge,Friends/classmates

This factor affected me because I'm not really a fit person to do 200 squats and sit ups with condition of my body. Believe it or not i got tired by doing 10 squats and i was very exhausted and my thighs were distress. Fitness is something i haven't really done fora while. This activity was very challenging to me as there was a lot of fitness involved and i had a dry throat half way through the sit ups. When i herd that we were doing fitness i knew that i was going to struggle but James influenced me to play.

In the future something i can do to increase my fitness and do a lot more exercise and have fun.  

3 laws of motion

• Who is Sir Isaac Newton?

Sir Isaac Newton was a physicists and mathematician who was born in December 25th 1642. Sir Isaac Newton worked in many areas in mathematics and physics. In 1686 he presented his 3 laws in the ¨ Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis ".

• Explain the 3 Laws

The 3 laws discovered by Sir Isaac Newton are,Inertia , force and equal & opposite. The first law instates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. The second law force is when a object with mass can change its velocity ( which includes to be moving from a state at rest ). The third law equal and opposite, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For example if i was to bounce on a trampoline the action is when i jump on to the trampoline and the opposite reaction is me bouncing up .

• How did the game ‘inertia ball’ demonstrate Newton’s Laws?

 Inertia ball is a game that explains all 3 newtons laws. The aim of the game is to throw a ball with the most mass at the big ball in the middle. The first law inertia was demonstrated when the big ball didn't move until you hit it. The second law was demonstrated by throwing the ball with the biggest mass at the big ball to make it move. The third law was demonstrated by throwing the ball at the big ball which is the action and the reaction is when the ball rebounds of the big ball.

Muscles

What are the three types of muscles?

The three types of muscles are cardiac, smooth and skeletal. The skeletal muscle is a type of striated muscle, attached to the skeleton. Cardiac muscle contracts, it pumps blood into the heart and through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. The smooth muscle forms organs like the stomach, bladder, veins

Describe what agonist and antagonist muscles are?

Antagonist and agonist muscles is when one muscle contracts, the other relaxes. For example elbow extension, if i was stretching out my arm my triceps are contracted and my Biceps are relaxing.

What are some movements in the body and examples of the movement in a sport?

For example if i was playing softball  my movement is elbow abduction. When the ball is pitched the persons arm is stretching out the bat which the triceps are contracted and the biceps are relaxing until the person pulls back his arm its addiction. 

Choose one activity we have completed in class and describe what your task was.
One activity we did was to get into groups of 3 and write all the muscles and bones. One person had to stand up on the other side and we had to put the labels on that persons body. Mrs Doughty called a muscle/Bone and we had to put exactly where the bone/muscle is. The activity was very useful and fun.

Bench Ball

For p.e we played bench ball. Bench ball is a game that's similar to dodge ball and capture the flag. To play we can have a even amount of people on each side. What we had to do was one of the members in our team can run to the other side and stand on the bench, That gives us the opportunity to throw the ball to our team mate on the other side to catch then we can try to run to the bench without getting touched. To win the game you have to have 4 on a bench. Rules ,3 seconds in your circle near the bench. if you get tagged you have to run back.

I Place my self as a achieved, because i managed to participate at my full potential and get my self on the bench with out getting touched. I think i met the criteria because i played well and how the game is made to play. Another example , I think i met the criteria because i managed to get my team some points and because i had the ability to throw the ball perfect.

+ Skill level,
My skills and ability was average to the game for example, i managed to have good aiming at throwing the ball to my team mate on the other side. I really enjoyed running around and not getting lazy

+ Equipment,
The equipment for example the balls were big and easy to catch and throw in the air which helped me a lot. The equipment was set out perfect which made the game easier to participate.

+Friends and classmates.

My friends were enjoying there time trying to run to the bench and getting the others out which made me be more helpful to play and have fun . My team mates Came up with some good strategies to get to the other side and also it was challenging how there wasn't the same amount of people. My friends influenced me to be more out there and play
Friends and classmates like Ivan made me play through out the whole game which increased my participation. With out Ivan i wouldn't be playing at my full potential.

Something i can do in the future is to get more fit and cope well even though i don't understand the game i will play and have fun.
