Connected learning =D

In Connected learning in this rotation we created many projects, however I will be talking about only one, which is an poster that we did earlier in this session. when we were creating the project there wasn’t many challenges as it was a fairly easy task, however as someone who hasn’t used canva that often there was a few challenges such as finding the correct images without making it to complicated and figuring out how to save it as that somehow became a challenge. some of the pros while creating this project was probably what i got out of it because it created a opportunity to be more organised and to try something new. this project and connected learning rotation was probably my favourite as mindfulness didn’t really do projects, which made this a quite fun rotation.

~Wind power~

The terms “wind energy” and “wind power” both describe the process on how wind turns into energy. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity.in other words wind power is an alternative energy source. This means that the power of the wind can be used in place of other energy sources such as coal, oil, and nuclear reactions. Wind can be used to produce electricity that heats homes and lights streets and buildings. Wind power is harnessed by a machine called a wind turbine.

~Solar Power~

Solar energy is a renewable, inexhaustible and affordable form of energy. It can be used to cook food, heat water, and generate electricity. Furthermore, electrical energy generated from solar energy can be stored in solar cells. Solar energy is in other words, the energy given off by the sun’s rays. Plants use sunlight to produce their own food by a process called photosynthesis. Using the sun’s rays plants transform water and carbon dioxide into fuel to grow, and breathe out oxygen in the process.

~ Grey Water Recycling/Water cycle πŸ’¦~

 Grey water is the relatively clean water from taps, sinks and other water appliances. Grey water recycling is when you use this clean-ish water and use it in other appliances instead of using clean water. how u can recycle it is by, first using a filter to get out the solids that may have got in the water, then u can use it in gardens, toilets and washing machines however, never use toilet water in washing machines..

Plumbing Water Explained: Blackwater vs. Greywater vs. Whitewater

Here are some effects humans do to the water cycle!

1. pollution, pollution effects water by choking and killing the wild life and also can create a layer on the top stopping evaporation to accrue. How to avoid this is to take part in activity’s which incudes picking up waste in your area and !!!don’t litter!!!.

  1. Dam, Dams effects the cycle by timing of flows. They can release water for energy which can delay and mess up the water cycle. These irregular releases destroy natural seasonal flow variations that trigger natural growth and reproduction cycles in many species.

~Visual Art Map~

For Visual art we created maps as you can see in the images below, this classes cooperation was quite ok however the class itself is quite loud. apart from being loud the class has its ups and down but i really enjoys this project as its a nice way to create art without drawing or painting and its different and unique.

there was also many people talking a bit to much wich wasn’t really preventable. as we created this artwork we also created some kind of friendship between each other.

we had many different pins however only got to use 2 and we had many strings but could only use one.

~term 1 reflectionπŸ“”~

this term has been wonderful although the so called camp was shortened to 1 day the new school experience has been a wonder. I met many people including Emily, Chloe, Riyani and Hannah and many more. I really enjoy coming and sitting in different classes instead of sitting and talking to the same teacher. we did many thigs in our house groups and i reaky injoyed that and hope it stays like that.

thank you for your time !
