I intend to create a really cool film. The film will be on a tour of Geelong and I will make it really cinematic. I will go on the stand up paddle board and film lots of cool things out in the bay. I will be going to lots of landmarks in Geelong/Interesting places and do lots of different things at those places.

Some of the technologies I plan to use are my brothers Go-Pro Max, and maybe a drone to get up high and film some things from a birds eye view. The Go-Pro has lots of different views like 360 and other cool features that I can’t think of.

My project is targeted at people who want to be entertained, as I want all the viewers to be engaged with my film and be excited to watch it.

I am looking forward to going to all of these places and put all of the film into one big one and watch it all come together. I am also looking forward to filming it because I can look over what I’ve filmed and be excited to share it.

I haven’t achieved everything I set out to achieve, but I am presenting my project next term, so hopefully by then I would have done everything I set out to achieve. I am going to be very happy if my room turns out the way I would like it to be.

Because of COVID-19, everything I need to order will come too late, so, I won’t get my project finished in time. Due to moving house, I haven’t had the time to be helped with Mum because she has so much to do, and, it has been a very stressful process for Mum while moving house, which means that I can’t sit down with her and discuss. But, other than that, I have been fine doing it by myself, but that extra work with Mum would have been good.

A lot of time before moving house, Mum and I sat down and bought the needed furniture in my room. I was very happy about that and it has turned out awesome. It is just the extra things to make my room better than normal. I also was thinking about the things I didn’t need to pay for. I found some things that I could put up which I didn’t need to pay for which has helped a lot because it is those extra things that I won’t need to pay for.

I would look at professionally designed room and get even more ideas to make my room just that little bit better. I feel that this will help me in the future when needing to design other things.

In the making of my Passion Project, so far, the progress I have made is ordering the materials in my new room. I have ordered things online and went to Bunnings to buy some materials. I have ordered a doona, a shelf, a bedside table, LED lights, a desk, and some of the things I already have I can put in my room, like a painting and a desk chair.

Some of the learning I have done to up skill myself is buying the right materials with the right colour so they suit the colours that will be in my room. This comes to having the right taste and making sure that it won’t look odd. Also it has help me understand how to design things and what will make it look right.

Some challenges I have faced are… I have been meaning to start making my film but I haven’t thought about when I should start it. I need to start soon because I will have more time on my hands to put everything together and make my new room as good as possible. I started to film the intro but the lighting was bad so I said to myself I should do it later but still haven’t done it. My Mum was going to buy everything for me but it came to be too expensive so we had to cut short on a few things that I would’ve liked in my room. I have been wondering how I can put my film together but still haven’t thought a lot about it.

The next step for me is to start my film, move in to the new house and put all the materials we have bought into my room and put it together. I will film everything as I go.

(My planning for my new room)

All of my ideas.

For my second passion project, I intend to create a really cool/comfortable room that will make me feel comfortable in, also a film on me designing my new room. We are moving into our renovated house and I would like my room to be as comfortable/cool as possible. I will make a film including the measurements of everything I will have in my room and if they will fit, the materials I will use, and a drawing of what it should look like. I might make up things as I go.

The technologies I am going to use are my Mum’s phone for good quality filming, any device to look up the things I want in my room, and any technological objects I intend to use in my new room.

My project is targeted at anyone wanting ideas to upgrade/create a really nice room.

I am looking forward to design my new room because I will have an idea of what it will look like and then I can piece it together nicely. I am also looking forward to seeing the finished film, to see the progress I made and the before and after picture of what it looked like before I started, and when I have finished my new room.

Lesson 1

What is Matter?

The 5 states of Matter.

In our first lesson of science, we learned about Matter and what it is. Matter is something that forms everything together. For example, every object around you, and anything that takes up space is Matter. Matter is made up of substances called elements, they are made up of atoms. In fact, everything is made up of atoms! Atoms are a measurement of elements All matter has volume and weight. Matter can’t be seen if it is a gas. Air is matter.

Mass and weight are 2 different things because Mass is something that takes up space and weight is how heavy or light an object is. Your weight can change depending on where you are. In space you are so much lighter!

There are 5 states of Matter. Solids, Liquids, Gas’, Plasma which is %99 in the universe, and Rubidium (Bose Einstein condensates) which was made in 1995 and is 300 degrees Celsius. Liquid can evaporate to a gas. Solids has Mass, a definite volume, a definite shape and they are tightly packed which helps them to hold their shapes. Liquid has Mass, a definite volume, no definite shape so they will take the shape of the container, and they are further apart so they can move around. Gas has Mass, no definite volume, no definite shape but will take the shape of its container, and the atoms in Gas are far apart. States of Matter change from temperature. Anything you can touch is Matter.

Matter.                                  Atoms.               The difference between Mass and weight.                   Volume.

Lesson 2

Chemical and Physical Change.

Safety Precautions.

In our second lesson of science, we learnt about physical and chemical change. Physical change is where nothing new is formed, but it might look or feel different. A substance changes it’s physical form but still retains it’s original properties.

Chemical change is where something new is formed- e.g. a solid from 2 liquids. It might be a gas made- Seen by fizzing or bubbling. Might be a colour change. Might produce heat, light or odour. A chemical change is when 2 substances are mixed together to form something new.

In lesson 3 we are going to do 12 experiments that take up 7 minutes, so, also in lesson 2 we learnt about the safety precautions. The test tubes are very thin glass, keep them in the test tube when not being looked at. When inserting the thermometer do not touch the bottom of the test tube. Measure the temperature of the liquid above the bottom.

Working with liquid… At any workstation that provides safety glasses, all students must wear them to protect your eyes from any chance of splashing.

Flick mix… Use your fingernail to tap against the tube. Always have the mouth of a test tube pointing away from your face.

Miss Williamson gave us a challenge where we had to cut make as many possible unique shapes, using 6 colourful squares. After we had done that, Miss Williamson then gave us some more challenges to do with theses 35 shapes. Here they are.

Challenge #2

Which shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 2×4?

7 can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 2×4.

Which shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 3×3?

8 shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 3×3.

Which shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 3×4?

29 shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 3×4.

Which shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 1×6?

Only 1 shape can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 1×6. This is a rectangle with the dimensions 1×6.

Which shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 2×3?

This is the only shape that can be placed in a rectangle with the dimension 2×3. This is a rectangle with the dimensions 2×3.

Which shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 2×5?

12 shapes can be placed in a rectangle with the dimensions 2×5.

Challenge #3

I found 17 shapes that can fit into a 3×6 rectangle.

Challenge #6, Tessellation.

I used shape 9 and 14.

I have only done 2 videos, I have some good ideas, I know exactly what I am going to be filming we just need to get filming.

I have made myself less scared/nervous to do things I don’t usually want to do. I also feel like I feel a lot more confident speaking on camera.

I have eaten some things that have completely grossed me out and I never want to do it again.

The next step for me is to do a lot more filming because right now I feel quite behind and must get filming right away.

Miss Williamson is the best teacher!

Miss Williamson gave us a task where we had to make  3D objects out of paper. Then we had to put string through them so it forms into a 3D shape. Here they are.

Triangular prism. 6 vertices, 5 faces and 8 edges.

Hexagonal prism, not perfect but it has 16 vertices, 24 edges and 10 faces.

Cube, 9 vertices, 6 faces and 12 edges.

Square based pyramid, 5 vertices, 6 faces and 8 edges.

Miss Williamson is the best teacher ever!

Test of strength.

I will be testing my levels of strength. I plan to put myself in uncomfortable situations. These situations will be both physical and mental. I will put my senses to the limits. I wont be doing anything that will cause serious injury or death. My intention is to make the viewer laugh at my misfortunes. Some examples will be to have an ice bath, eat an onion like an apple, charcoal toast, ect.

I will film with my Mum’s phone as it is an iPhone 10  so it will have greater quality than my computer. My project is targeted at anyone that wants to watch an engaging funny video. I am looking forward to creating my project as it will be fun along the way and putting myself in lots of different uncomfortable situations. I am also looking forward to seeing my peers’ projects as they will be different to each other. I am also looking forward to showing my peers my finished film.
