Chopsticks and Tea Culture in China

How to use Chopsticks ^

First, hold the upper chopstick like a pencil, about one-third of the way from its top. Next, place the second chopstick against your ring finger, holding it with the base of the thumb. It should be pointing the same way as the first chopstick. Move the upper chopstick with your thumb, index, and middle fingers.

Tea Culture

Chinese tea is a beverage made from the leaves of tea plants and boiled water. Tea leaves are processed using traditional Chinese methods. Chinese tea is consumed throughout the day, including during meals, as a substitute for plain water, for health, or for simple pleasure.

Electrical Science project

Bronah, Connor and I decided the we would make an electromagnet using a nail and copper wire. We wound the copper wire around the nail. We then connected it up to the power pack which magnetized the nail. It then could pick up things like paper clips.

The positive was that we then learned how to make an electromagnet. The negative was that we had to change our original idea which went we had less time to complete our project. The most interesting thing was that it was still able pick up the paper clips without being connected to the power pack due to the nail still containing electrical charge.

Game Design with Blender #Post 1

Scratch and Python were the first 2 platforms we used, in Scratch we first created a pong game and then a game of our own.  The games we made included challenges such as collecting bricks. Scratch was relativity easy to use with drag and drop codes. I made a small loop on Trinket and on Python we wrote a code which can be used as a basic game template. We now are beginning to create a 3D game on Blender.

Blender is a 3D game engine which uses logic to control the game and the cube. To make the cube move you need to select the logic which are, Sensors, to link the WASD and the space bar keys so they respond to whenever those keys are pressed. Controller and actuators (which we link to the sensors) make the cube actually move. 

The next thing to do is to add a platform so the cube has something to run around on and fall onto whenever the spacebar is pressed.I have also started to make the coins in another level. 

Designing & programming a game on Scratch.

As a student in the year 9 class I am creating a game using scratch. My game will be created using the forever/if then loop so that I can understand the basics of programming, my game will be an interactive game with some challenges for the player
