Zombie Apocalypse situation

Zombie apocalypse


                Communication
Fun facts about communication
1. There are many different ways to communication here are a few examples: television, Facebook or even your expression and tone in your voice
2. Listening is also communication
3Apparently our hearing is a lot slower than our brains ability to think we only listen to 100-125 words per minute yet our brain can think of up to 3000 words a minute while thinking
4. We process images faster than words. We can only store 7 bits of information using words at a time while our vision seen forever stores the images in our long term memory.

We found our infomation here http://www.yodiz.com/blog/effective-communication-5-surprising-facts-you-should-know/ and here 

Why is commutation the most important?


Sure water is important and food is important. You probably think that there is no way communication can be more important than food or water. But whats the point in having food and water if you are going to be trapped in a place for the rest of your life bored out of your imagination with zombies all around the outside world. The thing is you can survive a certain amount of days without food and water. So what if we communicated with another unaffected country and they sent something to pick us up we wouldn't need food and water they would bring some to us. We would be safe and we would be out of the zombie apocalypse save and sound which no other job can do as effective as us. Witch is why we are ore important. We are also useful if we are stuck for a while in there long enough for the help to arrive but zombies break through how are we going to now. Can and string

What we had to do
As communication we had to design a way to communicate with each other and the outside world. Our first idea was can and string. We then decided to find a way to make it work better so we had a idea for a communication tower.

This was one of our first designs












We had many arguments about what to do. About how to build the tower were to put it and stuff like that.

We ended up splitting into 2 sides in the group because of the arguments but eventually agreed on one tower plan

The tower plan was 2 towers.











The arguments were finished for now and we thought is was over we just needed to paint the tower black then done. But then Our teacher Mr Stock talked to us about communication and antennas. So we made a antenna by getting two Popsicle sticks and a piece of wire. We circled the Popsicle sticks with the wire and there go we made it. Later on 2 of us argued once again about were to put it.













The tower is supposed to have all the can and strings in the base connected in it. One person would be on each tower and would receive information and send out information and would people able to see all of the bass or most of it from the tower.













Why did we place the towers there? We were going to use can and string as our main communication so to make it a bit easier we set up communication towers. In these towers we would receive everyone's messages and would then send them out to other people and if something bad happens we would be able to see it.

MakingGinger Beer

Aim: I want to find out how to make ginger bear

Method

Ingreditends
You'll need: 
--1c sugar (or less) 
--yeast 
--small piece of ginger root 
--a lemon 
--a grater (microplane or fine holes) or food processor/chopper 
--an empty 2L plastic (important) bottle 
--around 2L of fresh water

Equipment

Instructions
Peel and finely grate a small piece of ginger.
Roll the lemon between your hand and a hard surface a few times; this will help you get the juice out more quickly once it's cut.
To the empty 2L bottle, add:
--1c sugar
--1/4 tsp yeast
--lemon juice
--grated ginger
Fill your 2L bottle to an inch or two below the top with fresh water. Screw the cap on tightly, and shake until everything is dispersed. Be certain to flush the sugar from the nooks at the bottom of the bottle.
once you're finished, place the bottle in a warm-ish place
Check on it every few hours by squeezing the bottle. When you can no longer push in on the bottle take the bottle and put it in the fridge. This will slow down the fermentation and keep things from exploding. 

Note: I am quite serious about the exploding bit. If you leave the bottle just sitting in a warm place for a few days, it will likely explode and send sugary water all over the room. So keep an eye on it!
Resulets
What is that stuff at the bottom?
Its yeast that is growing as it eats the sugar

What does it smell like?
It is the smell of ginger combined with baked bread and stale alchohole

What does it taste like?
The ginger should make it spicey. The yeast should have eaten all the sugar so it does not taste sweet

What happens if you shake it
It will fizz because of the carbine dioxide that was made by yeast







Discussion:

What is yeast? Orgasim from the fungis familey

What did the yeast do in the ginger Beer

What are some other good uses of yeast

What are some other bad uses of yeast

How the Earth was made

YouTube clip on how the Earth was made



  • Our solar system is 4 and a half billion years old and the sun was surrounded by a cloud of dust and gas and the minerals began to clump together
Related image

  • The minerals began to clump together
The team observed how charged grains of dust in their mutual electrostatic interactions can undergo attractive as well as repulsive trajectories similar to planetary orbits (pictured)

    Link to Page
    • They were held together by static electricity
    • Minerals stick together to make rocks then rocks stick together to make boulders then the boulders stick together to make meteorites or planets and they were held together by static electricity
    Image result for Minerals stuck together and formed rocks
    Link to Page
    • After 30 million years Earth was made
    Link to Page
    • As the Earth got bigger it pulled more rocks and minerals into it
    Link to Page
    • Then the earth melted and all the metals sank and all the rocks floated


    Link to Page
    • The outside cooled and formed the crust

      Link to Page
      • The Moon formed when another planet collided into Earth
      Link to Page
      • all the rocks blown into space collected together to make the moon

      Link to Page
      • Every rock from space brought a drop of water and since earth started all the rocks that hit earth brought a tiny drop and with more than 5 million rocks that had drops of water in it our oceans were made
      Link to Page
      • Meteorites carried Amino acid witch were attracted to each other then they came together to make protein and amino acid replicated themselves aka copying themselves. They turned into DNA and then made bacteria. Witch then made life 
      Link to Page
      • The bacteria breathed of a gas oxygen. Every bit of bacteria made a tiny bit of oxygen

      Burning magnesium

      Aim: I want to find out what happens to magnesium when you burn it





      Hypothesis:
      I think that is might just melt and maybe turn into liquid or stay together but burnt up



      Equipment:
      Heat mat, Bunsen Burner. Siccer tongs, Magnesium, Lighter and safety goggles




      Method:

      1. Get equipment
      2. Put on safety goggles
      3. Put down your heat mat
      4. Connect your Bunsen burner to the gas tap
      5. Close the air hole
      6. Turn on the lighter
      7. Turn on the gas
      8. Open the air hole
      9. Hold the magnesium in the scissor tongs
      10. Put the magnesium into the blue flame
      11. Observe what happens
      Results:















      When i burned solid shiny gray magnesium in the blue Bunsen burner it formed a bright white light and lasted for around 6 seconds then it went out. Some white powder was left over.        

      Discussion
      Why did the magnesium glow brightly?


      When magnesium burns, it is actually reacting with oxygen in the air and not with fire. Fire is what we call the heat and light produced when things burnMagnesium reacts with oxygen to make a compound called magnesium oxide. The bright light results because this reaction produces a lot of heat.

      scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=2234




      When magnesium is in its metal form it will burn very easily in air. However, in order to start the reaction (the burning) the magnesium metal needs a source of energy. The flame provides a source of heat so that the magnesium metal atoms can overcome their activation energy. Activation energy is the minimum energy required in order for a chemical reaction to proceed. When the magnesium metal burns it reacts with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide. A compound is a material in which atoms of different elements are bonded to one another. Oxygen and magnesium combine in a chemical reaction to form this compound. After it burns, it forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide. Magnesium gives up two electrons to oxygen atoms to form this powdery product. This is an exothermic reaction. An exothermic reaction is a term that describes a chemical reaction in which there is a net release of energy (heat).

      Conclusion:
      My hypothesis was that it would just melt or turn into liquid but it ended up turning into a bright white light


      Evalouation
      Other experiments related to this i could do are


      • Did it make another chemicals
      • Why was it a white light
      • How hot did the magnesium get
      • Do all metals glow brightly
      • What would happen if we used a chunk of magnesium
      • What would happen if we used powered magnesium
