In this practical we found out how colliding plates work. When they collide they form earthquakes, mountains and volcanoes. I found out that they collide by being pushed by the hot molten rock around and when the molten rock spins faster the plates collide and form earthquakes.

In this practical we found out what happens when ridges are formed. We found out that the mid ocean ridge because the paper acted like the ocean plate and when it spread it formed a ridge like the mid-ocean ridge.

This Journal is a Conclusion to the convection currents experiment.

i found in the heat convection test the purple stain rose in a circular form like a tornado

i found in the cold convection test that the purple stain decended to the bottom in a spread out formation a bit like a cyclone

1. Likes and dislikes of this project…..any suggestions on how to improve???

I liked that we got to choose the groups, i found i worked a lot better and got along with my fellow team member’s a lot better and smoother with procedures. I didn’t really dislike anything much because it was like a normal assignment which i had to do with my fellow group member’s.

2. What areas do you think you have improved in from project 1 to project 4?

I think i have improved in alot of areas, such as; doing journal’s, getting work done on the due date and finishing off the final product to a high standard.

Look at the individual rubric. Then answer the following questions.

What CST and IST grade what you allocate yourself for this project? Justify your response.

i think i would get a B because i have done most of the things on the rubric and followed the need to know list.

 

What could you do tonight that would improve your grade?

i could do all my journal’s, and possibly do more bookmark’s on diigo.

 

What grade do you think your team will give you for teamwork? Why?

 

Thinking about your presentation on Monday, what do you need to do to score an “A” grade? (hint: Look at the presentation skills). What could you do before Monday, to ensure you receive an “A”?

  1. Analyse why red sunsets can sometimes be more impressive when there is more dust or pollution in the air than usual.
Those beautiful sunsets are caused by the interaction of sunlight with the molecules in the air. Due to the interaction light is the scattered in all directions. So the more dust or air pollution there is the longer the wavelengths of scattered light are making the whole scene more impressive.

2. Describe what happens inside water droplets to cause a rainbow and explain how you can tell whether a rainbow is a primary or secondary.

The same thing that happens in a rainbow: white sunlight enters a raindrop and is broken into different colors heading in slightly different directions. The light is then reflected (and magnified) off the back of the raindrop and passes back into the air again, in the process being further refracted.

Fibre optic technology offers many advantages when used in medical applications.

1. Describe how optical fibre may be used in medical applications

Optical fibres can be used in medical application perhaps when taking medical images etc. inspecting the inside of the human body. This is generally the case due to their flexibility.

2. identify the traditional medical techniques that optical fibres might replace

Optical fibres could replace techniques like operations

3. Evaluate the benefits of fibre optic technology to medicine

Fibre optic technology has many benefits to it. It has become a very essential tool in the medical workplace. Its advantages are that it is easy and safe while at the same time there is no risk compared to having an operation.

Elizabethan Era

The Elizabethan Era is the period associated with Queen Elizabeth I’s reign (1558–1603) and is often considered to be the golden age in English history. It was the height of the English Renaissance and saw the flowering of English poetry and literature. This was also the time during which Elizabethan theatre flourished and William Shakespeare and many others, composed plays that broke free of England’s past style of plays and theatre. It was an age of exploration and expansion abroad, while back at home, the Protestant Reformation became the national mindset of all the people.

The globe theatre

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare’s playing company, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, and was destroyed by fire on June 29, 1613.

A second Globe Theatre was rebuilt on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642.

A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named “Shakespeare’s Globe”, opened in 1997. It is approximately 230 metres (750 ft) from the site of the original theatre.

The kings’s chamberlain men

The King’s Men was the company of actors to which William Shakespeare (1564–1616) belonged through most of his career. Formerly known as The Lord Chamberlain’s Men during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, it became The King’s Men in 1603 when King James ascended the throne and became the company’s patron.

Your group’s play – an overview

Tragedies commedies & histories

revelance of plays to 21st century

what are the typical features that all shakespeare plays musy include?

 

William Shakespeare’s plays have the reputation of being among the greatest in the English language and in Western literature. Traditionally divided into the genres of tragedy, history, and comedy, they have been translated into every major living language, in addition to being continually performed all around the world.

Among the most famous and critically acclaimed of Shakespeare’s plays are Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Othello, The Tempest, Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice and Richard III.

Many of his plays appeared in print as a series of quartos, but approximately half of them remained unpublished until 1623, when the posthumous First Folio was published. The traditional division of his plays into tragedies, comedies, and histories follows the categories used in the First Folio. However, modern criticism has labelled some of these plays “problem plays” which elude easy categorization, or perhaps purposefully break generic conventions, and has introduced the term romances for what scholars believe to be his later comedies.

1. How do you feel the media portrays Social Justice issues?

In my opinion I feel that the media portrays Social Justice Issues today in a biased matter in some stages due to the fact that they only offer one side of the story of an issue. This allows the media to get the society involved and watch what is going on so that they can only have one view on the issue.

2. Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?

For my group it has not been difficult due to the fact that our Social Justice issue is basically the main one which is being portrayed at the moment.

3. Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.

Not always because in our issue on the Zimbabwe currency crisis leading to poverty and inflation, there has been no huge use of moral framework in the media due to the fact that the message being focused on is on a political side.
