Performance Immersion

This week I have been doing the performance immersion. We started off by describing creativity and drama. We then moved on to some drama games. One of the games we did we had act out something and the rest of the class joined in if they could work out what we were doing. We have also been working on dance. In dance we looked at why people dance and how everybody dances for different reason. We then got into groups and made shapes with our body using different dance techniques. It was a new experience for me and it definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone.

Bridge project experiment

In the last two weeks Callan and I have been working on the second half of our project which was the experiment data analysis and the conclusion. We built the bridge out of popsicle sticks and glued them together with hot glue. To put weight on the bridge we used books and weights to put on top of the bridges. One problem we ran into was since our bridges were quite small balancing everything on top of the bridges. Our hypothesis was proved wrong in that the beam bridge and the deck truss bridge both could hold 4 kgs and that surprisingly the warren truss bridge could only hold 3 kgs. But we did find that the warren truss bridge was the hardest to balance things on which could have affected how much weight it could hold. In the end our experiment went quite well and we learnt a lot.
