Tinkercad design

A design I made on Tinkercad:

This design was made using a 3D designing platform called Tinkercad. 

For the main shape of the dill gauge, I used an octangular pyramid with an eight-sided diamond on top. On each face of the octangular pyramid, I put a hole with the measurement of the diameter underneath it. Similar to the drill gauge I made in class, this drill gauge has holes measuring at 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.8mm, 8mm, and 10mm. 

Method:

1. Create an ordinary pyramid using the basic shapes menu on the right-hand side of your screen.

2. Click on the shape and then change the number of sides the shape has from 4 to 8.

    by doing this you have created an 8 sided pyramid called an octangular pyramid.

3. Create 8 cylinders using the same menu on the right-hand side of your screen.

4. Change the height of all of the cylinders to whatever the height of your octangular pyramid is.

5. On the first cylinder, change the width of the cylinder to 3 by 3.

6. On the second one, change it to 4 by 4.

7. The third one to 5 by 5, the fourth one to 5.5 by 5.5, the fifth one to 6 by 6, the sixth one to 6.8 by

     6.8, the seventh one to 8 by 8, the eighth one to 10 by 10.

8. Then highlight and select all of the cylinders and change them all into holes.

9. Once you have changed the cylinders to holes, put them on each face of the octangular

    pyramid.

10. Highlight and select everything you have done so far, then click Ctrl + G to group everything 

      together.

11. After following these steps, your design should look like this

(Insert image here)

12. Make a box and turn it into a hole.

13. Put it on top of your octangular pyramid. Make sure that you don't cover your holes with your 

      box.

14. highlight and select the box and your pyramid, then group them together.

15. This should create a flat area on top of your pyramid. It should look like this

       (Insert image here)

16. Grab a diamond shape and then flip it upside down.

17. Put it on top of the flat area and aline each face of the diamond to each face of your pyramid.

19. Grab a text shape. Then change its shape from text to 3

20. Grab seven more and change the shapes each of them to match the measurements of the holes.

21. Change the size of the texts so that it can fit on the faces of your pyramid. Then put on on your pyramid.

22. Select all of your shapes and then group them together.

23.  FINISH.

Voyage out

Sebastian was born into a village of assassins. Because of this, he was trained in the art and became
an assassin trainee ever since he was born. Once a year, all trainees that are 13 years old are
gathered and must undergo a trial to become a full-fledged assassin. In this trial, one must kill 2
other trainee assassins in combat and present the village chief with their heads. Completing this trial
means that you are a full-fledged assassin. And by failing it, you will die. Even though Sebastian was
raised to be heartless, he did not want to kill without a cause. To avoid unnecessary bloodshed.
he grabbed some jewelry from his parent's room and left the village. Although he could easily
survive by himself with ease, he decided to change his lifestyle and start a new life in Britain.
Once he arrived, he was speechless. kids were starving, families begging for food, drinking
unclean water, and illnesses were running rampant.  It wasn't anything like his village.
He realized that this was happening because of overpopulation and not enough money to go around.
He knew that in order to not end up like them, he had to have a way to get money and as long as he
had money, he would be fine. Back in his old village. In order to survive, he had to be as intelligent
as he was strong and was taught the skills of communication and deception. With these skills
Sebastian found himself a rich man, that happened to be looking for a gift for his wife. He went over
to the man and began to sell him the jewelry. After talking for about 2 minutes Sebastian convinced
the man to buy the jewelry for more than double its worth. A merchant called Arnold observed
Sebastian’s conversation with the rich man and saw potential in him. Arnold walked over to
Sebastian and asked him he would like to work as his apprentice. In return, he would feed him,
pay him, and give him a place to say. With nowhere else to go. Sebastian agrees. 2 years went by
and Sebastian had learned everything Arnold could teach. Sadly, Arnold died of a really bad case
of pink eye. After his death. Sebastian continued to be a merchant and earned lots of money.
For Sebastian, Everyday became comfortable and luxurious. But be remembered that while he
was sipping on his wine. kids were still starving, families were still homeless, and illnesses
\were still taking lives every day.

This made him remember how terrible a place Britain was. With this realization, decided to leave
Britain the next morning. Morning came. Sebastian had all of his stuff packed when he grabbed a
flyer off the floor. The flyer said that in 17 days, boats were going to sail out to New Zealand.
A paradise country with land up for grabs and plenty of jobs available. He didn't care about the land
or the jobs. but he was interested in going to a new country. Since he was going to leave the country
anyways. He decided, why not go to New Zealand. Everything was settled and Sebastian bought a
first class ticket.

17 days went by quickly and the day had finally come. He was going to be able to finally leave Britain
and all of its misery. He stepped onto the ship and headed to his cabin and the long journey began.
He heard the journey to New Zealand could take up to 120 days. Luckily he had lots of money,
getting him a comfy voyage in a cabin and was given fresh meat and milk all throughout the voyage.
Sadly, other passengers traveling in the steerages were not so lucky. They had to share cramped
rooms with lots of other people. They were given salted preserved meat, ship’s biscuits,
oatmeal, and dried potatoes. The diet was coarse, caused constipation and offered poor
nutrition. Passengers were allowed 3.4 liters of fresh water a day. But the water deteriorated
and a become undrinkable within a couple of months. Because of this both cabin and steerage
passengers attempted to catch rainwater. Due to the lack of fresh water, the only way to wash
your clothes and yourself were to use salt water from the ocean. Also, the steerage
passengers often caught diseases due to poor nutrition and poor hygiene. 120 days went
by and New Zealand was in sight. But out of nowhere, an iceberg flew into the ship killing everyone.

boomberwang

The wooden booomberwang:


This boomerwang is not my design because I could not find mine.


During this project, we created a boomerwang. at first, we were given some designs that we could choose from. after seeing them, we made our own. the design that I chose looked similar to a hatchet.
This particular boomberwang design was used to hit kangaroos. During this project, I used the bandsaw, sandpaper, chisel, and that's all.

Drill gauge

What I was aiming for:  

I was aiming to make a drill gauge that was similar to this but with only made for 8 different sized drill bits. The measurements were 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.8mm, 8mm, and 10mm.

What I used to mark out and measure my work:

 
      Engineers Square                  Spring Divider                             Scribe
      By using this I could             This helped me find                I used this to mark out
       make sure that the                 and mark out the                   the lines on my metal
       edges on the metal                center of my work           after applying engineers blue
           were straight              

 
                  Ruler                             Micrometer                              Vernier 
      I used this to make sure      I used this to make sure       I used this to more accurately
      that my metal was the          that the drill bit I was        measure the length of my metal
              correct size                 using, was the right size.         and measure the drill bit.

Hammer and Center Punch:

I used the hammer and center punch to

center punch holes on the areas where I was going to drill. I did this to give the point of the drill a place to lock onto. This prevented my metal from sliding out and end up drilling the wrong place.

Engineers blue:
After cleaning up my piece of metal, I put this over it to make it easier to mark out my lines.

Machines that I used:

   Buffing Machine:                   Drill Press:         I used this to polish               I used this to Drill     my work and make it           the different sized                  Shiny.                        holes on my work.

What tools I learned to use during this project:

About a Vernier:
Verniers are tools used to accurately measure the diameter and sometimes the depth of material. They have main jaws used to measure the external diameter, smaller jaws that are used to measure the internal diameter, and sometimes has a depth rod to measure the depth/length of your material. The method of using the jaws for measuring diameter is simple. All you have to do is put an object in between the jaws and then tighten until both jaws are on the object. Then, you just read the measurement on the scale and you're done. You now have the measurement of the diameter.

About a Micrometer:
The micrometer is used to measure the internal diameter of an object. A measurement is obtained

by measuring the space between the anvil and the spindle. Twisting the thimble moves the spindle
towards the anvil or away from it. The rachet does the same thing, except it is used for more precise
movement. To take a measurement an object is placed in between the anvil and the spindle. Once
the object is placed, turn the thimble until both the anvil and the spindle makes contact with the
object. Then turn the rachet for fine-tuning. After that, all you have to do is read the measurement of
the sleeve.

Sheep's heart dissection

Aim: I want to investigate the structure of a sheep's heart.

Equipment: The sheep's heart, dissecting tray, scalpel, dissecting scissors, latex gloves.

Safety: Wear safety glasses and gloves.
Try not to cut yourself with the scalpel/scissors.


Method:

Looking at the external structure of the heart:

1. Rinse off the remaining preservative with tap water then place the heart on the dissecting tray.

2. locate the thin membrane called the pericardium that covers the heart, then remove the tissue and put it to the side.

3. Underneath the pericardium is the myocardium. The myocardium is the type of muscle that the heart is made out of.












4. Locate the bottom of the heart/apex and observe how the left ventricle is the only chamber that extends all the way to the apex.

5. Rotate the heart so the ventral side of the heart is facing the roof. The ventral side is recognized by a groove that extends from the right side of the broad end of the heart diagonally to a point above and
to your left of the apex.

6. Now the heart is in a position where the heart is in a body facing you.

7. Locate the left and right ventricle. And locate the left and right atrium.

8. leaving the heart in the same position, locate the Aorta, Coronary artery, Pulmonary artery, Pulmonary veins, Aortic arch, and the Inferior and Superior Vena Cava.

Looking at the internal structure of the heart:



1. Use scissors to cut through the side of the pulmonary artery and continue cutting down into the wall of the right ventricle. Be careful to just cut deep enough to go through the wall of the heart chamber.

2. Use your fingers to open up the cut and examine the internal structure of the heart. If there is any dried blood in the heart, rinse it out with tap water.

3. Locate where the superior and inferior Vena Cava enter the right Atrium.

4. Locate the different valves between the Atriums and the Ventricles.

5. Feel the difference in the thickness of each chamber.

6. Once you're done with the examining, cut out whatever sections of the heart you want.

7. Examine that stuff as well. Once you're done with the experiment, put everything on the tray.

9. Take photo.

Result: 













Discussion

Blood traveling through the heart:
Deoxygenated blood from around the body enters the heart via Superior and Inferior Vena Cava. these blood vessels connect to the Right Atrium. From the Right Atrium, blood flows into the Right Ventricle then gets pumped through the Pulmonary arteries and into the lungs. Once the blood is in the lungs, the blood gets oxygenated and travels back to the heart through the Pulmonary veins. When the oxygenated blood arrives back at the heart, it enters the Left Atrium and then the blood empties out into the Left Ventricle and then gets pumped around the body through the Aorta.

Breathing:
Breathing consists of two steps. inhalation and exhalation. When we inhale, the muscle between the ribs called the intercostal muscles, lift the ribcage up and out, expanding the chest. at the same time, a sheet of muscle under the lungs called the diaphragm flattens. This makes the space inside the ribcage bigger and reduces air pressure in the lungs. Air moves into the lungs because the air pressure outside is higher. The inhaled air first enters the lungs through the windpipe called the trachea. Then the trachea divides into two bronchi, with one bronchus going to each lung. Each bronchus divides further in the lungs into smaller tubes called bronchioles. At the end of each bronchiole, there is a group of tiny air sacs. These air sacs have bulges called alveoli to increase their surface area and speed up the absorption of oxygen. When we exhale, the intercostal muscles and diaphragm relax. this lowers the chest and raises the diaphragm back up. This reduces the space in the ribcage gets smaller so the air pressure increases. this forces air out of the lungs. Also when we exhale, carbon dioxide leaves the body.

Aerobic Cellular Respiration:
Cellular Respiration comes in three stages. The glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and Electron transport. During the glycolysis stage, Glucose (C6 H12 O6) enters the mitochondria a catabolic reaction takes place. This breaks down the glucose molecules into 6 Carbon, 12 Hydrogen, and 6 Oxygen. Also, a small amount of ATP is released. Then in the Krebs cycle, oxygen (O2) is added. As a result, the 6 carbon molecules chemically react with the added oxygen producing carbon dioxide (CO2). Also During this stage, more energy is released. Then during the final stage. The 12 hydrogen molecules react with oxygen to produce water (H2O) and even more, energy is released.

Zootopia essay

Describe an important idea in the text.
Explain how the director used audio and visual
language features to help you understand this idea.

Do stereotypes actually have any significance? In the film “Zootopia” directed by Byron Howard
and Rich Moore, we see many valuable ideas presented to us. An idea that stood out, was how
stereotypes can be broken. This is shown whenever a character breaks the stereotype that comes
with being that specific animal in scenes such as when Judy and Nick became the first of their
species to become a cop, and when Flash, who is a sloth, gets a speeding ticket.

The first scene where a stereotype is broken was when Judy, a fragile little bunny, goes through
the training required to become a cop. In this scene, Judy is made to complete an intense training
course, specifically made to challenge even the biggest and strongest animals. This already shows
us that small animals like Judy, stand no chance against this course. To make it worse, before the
animals even began the track. The director used multiple establishing shots of the training course.
Making it seem even more impossible for Judy. Despite all that, Judy defied all odds and graduated
first in her class and became the very first cop that is a bunny. By doing this, Judy broke a
stereotype by becoming something other than a carrot farmer. And, having to be big and strong to
become a cop.

Another scene where we see a stereotype being broken is when Nick, despite being a fox,
becomes a cop. When Nick is first shown in the film, he was a stereotypical fox. Crafty, sly and
most importantly, untrustworthy. But as the film went on, Nick, with the help of Judy, slowly began
to break that stereotype. And during Judy’s speech at the end of the film, the director used
a full shot to show Nick get his badge and to show all the hats getting thrown up in the air to
celebrate. To make Nick and Judy an even better duo. Nick became the very first of his species
to become a cop, Just as Judy became the first of hers.

Another way a stereotype was broken was when the speeding culprit at the end of the film
happened to be flash. Before, when Judy was in a hurry to find a DMV for the missing otter case.
Nick took her to a DMV full of sloths. Once Judy realizes this, she says “wait, they're all sloths!”.
Right after she says that. Nick replies “are you saying because he’s a sloth, he can’t be fast”.
Having nowhere else to go, Judy used the sloth DMV. The visit ended up taking the entire day.
This shows that the sloths working in that DMV follow the stereotype. However, this all changes
when Flash, one of the sloths, ends up causing problems by going too fast and breaks the stereotype.

In Zootopia we see that although stereotypes do have some significance, they are easily broken
as long they are willing to change. This was shown on three different occasions. When Judy became
a cop, When Nick became a cop, and when Flash got a speeding ticket. In these ways, the idea of
stereotypes being broken was supported.

Two Worlds, One Family

To me, this means that even if you are from different cultures or race, no matter how different.
As long as you truly want to be together you can. Family can be formed with more than blood.

An important message that we see during the movie Tarzan is how the bond of family is more than just a bond of blood. This message was given throughout the entire movie. One scene that stood

out was during the beginning of the movie when Tarzan's mother (a gorilla) found him in an abandoned human house. Then, she showed him affection by deciding to keep him as her ownchild. As she found him and picked him up, the song “you'll be in my heart” starts playing.
This further expresses the feelings Tarzan’s mother feels for him. This scene shows that a
family bond can be formed even without a blood relationship and all you really need is love.
It makes me think about how if all humans could just have this love,
no one would feel left out or feel as if they are irrelevant to this world. But this would only happen
in an ideal world that we can only imagine.

Another important message we see in the movie is that you shouldn't judge someone without
understanding them..............................................
