2.If a mask comes down place it over your head and breath normally.

3.If a life jacket is needed beneath your seat is string you need to pull and there will be a life jacket for you to put on.

If I was given $1 000000 and I decided to make an airline I would call it New Zealand Air Support,and the logo would look like this.

Inclined Plane Activity: Making a ramp

Lever Activity: Making a catapult

Pulley Activity: Making a flag pole

I found our inclined plane activity an in between because it wasn’t satisfying.  I learnt that a vehicle went down a ramp faster than when the ramp was more flat.

I give the lever activity,  an in between because it took me quite a while to understand properly how a catapult works . I learn’t that the further down I pushed the spoon the greater force I used and the distance the load travelled. Also the load is what you want to move or lift,the force is how much energy I used to lift the load up.The fulcrum was the part that held the spoon to the popsicle stick.

I give the pulley a 10 out of 10 because I had lots of fun making a flag pole for the pulley activity. I learn’t that you use a pulley to lift up a load.

Flag Pole/Pulley

This is the flag pole Zane, Abdurrahim and I made out of string, a bamboo stick, cardboard and 2 bottle lids.I then got to test out our flag pole to see if I could rise the New Zealand flag. Horray! I could. I feel happy that I mad a simple pulley for my topic on simple machines.

Rubber Band Car

This is my Rubber Band Car I made with my mum.It is powered by the rubber bands in the middle and the propeller at the back of  the car caught the wind and made the car move forward.To activate it you need to twist the kebab stick a lot and let go and watch it move.
