Our bridge is between a truss and an arch combined.We made it this way so it will hold more weight and not break if it were not for my group this would not of happened.
Thanks to Richard,Shayna,and Sumaira.

Inquiry B2.

All matter contains heat energy...heat energy is the result of the movement of the tiny particles called atoms molecules or ions in solids,liquids and gases.Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another,and transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects is called that.

Heat can be transferred in three ways conduction,convection and radiation.



First in conduction.Conduction transfers heat by particles and getting close to each other and contacting each and other.This means conduction means it mainly happens in solids.Conduction can happen in liquids and gases but it is very unlikely.For example, if we heat a glass fishing rod and a metal fishing rod glass would burn your hand first because of conduction.


Convection transfers heat by fluid particles. These particles carry heat energy to transfer heat.This means that convection cannot happen in solids so only liquids and gases take place in convection. Example if you crack an egg in a pot and put it outside on a sunny day it will boil
because of convection.



Sadly, radiation does not happen in any states of matter.but can happen in empty spaces without any states of matter basically,nothing.Dark colours absorb the heat energy but light and shiny surfaces reflect heat energy.

Old man grandad

Old man grandad

Although he is my old man grandad, he still likes to go outside and play games. His skin is a little bit wrinkly and his clothes aren't clothes you would wear out often. After a while old man grandads eyes will change colour and begin to grow because he has not a lot of hair.you can see a bald spot on his head but as his grandson i still love him.

Spinifex

Spinifex

Spinifex is like a spiky ball and you normally find
them up north of nz.

When spinifex hits something or another spinifex it will drop its seeds and that's when another spinifex will grow.

As its long straw type legs roll across the sand it races if the spinifex hits something else it drops its seeds and then another and another will keep growing.

Spinifex looks like a round, spiky, long legged ball The spinifex can roll across the sand really really fast.
