final sport science blog

What tests did we do? To test our power we did a standing vertical jump, to test muscular endurance we did a plank, for speed we did a timed 30 metre sprint, for flexability we tried to touch our toes, for agility we did a agility course, for strength we saw how long we could hang from a bar, for coordination we threw a ball at a wall with one hand and caught it with the other for seconds, for balance we saw how long we could stand on our toes on one foot, for cardiovascular endurance we did the beep test, and for reaction time we had someone else drop a ruler and we then saw how fast we could catch it.

What were you trying to improve? The things I was trying to improve the most were power and coordination. 

How did you improve those skills? To improve these I did squats for power, and catching with a partner for coordination.

Did you improve on any skills? I did improve on strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, coordination, reaction time, speed, power, and balance.

Why do you think you improved on those skills? I think that I improved on those skills beacuse I practiced them all during the practices so I could improve.

Which skills do you want to spend more time improving on and how are you going to improve? I would like to improve more on my power and I will do this by doing squats everyday to try and improve.

My LED sign

 Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about LED Signs. In the past few weeks, we have been trying to make LED signs. At first I thought that our class was going to be about make door signs, because when we chose our options, it said door signs. After, we watched a video about soldering, I find it difficult to solder because the project is really small. We also learnt about what resistors do, A resistor is a passive electrical component with the primary function to limit the flow of electric current. We needed to use resistors for the LED or they will be to hot and burn. When designing the sign, the first thing I thought of was my name. 

I thought it would look cool with my name on it. The next thing we did was, choose a colour of our choice there we different colours. Red, green, white and Multicoloured. I chose multicoloured, I was imagining my design in my mind and it looked really cool. We all got 3 leds and 3 resistors, We soldered our resistors to a piece of metal after, we soldered the LED in the tip of the resistors. After finishing the leds and the resistors, we got our acrylic box pieced. Removing the paper protection around it was one of the most difficult things we have done in this class. We got blisters on our fingers specially our thumbs. We used the glue gun to get the pieced together. The glue dried really fast so we also had to move fast. After finishing the gluing, we also glued the led inside the box. We put the sign above the hole on the box and now it is finished.

Please comment on my blog post and give me some feedback about my writing. 

Market day Kete

For the market day kete we had to make something that me can sell  and make money of.

I was the CEO for my group and I was in charge of doing all the paper work and managing the budget.

People that I worked with in my group were helpful and they all did there part in the business kete and were really happy with our finale product.

I thing my group were pretty successful and we made a good amount of tokens,but I think we could of done better on selling our product.

I think my group held the HHS value pretty good during the market day because we all took turns being the sales persons and swapping so other people in our group can go look around and you things if they want.
