3. Transferring

I first I copied the template showed then I copied it into my piece of wood and then I marked the pieces that were needed to be cut

4. How did you make it?

1. We first searched the image of the puzzle so that we know how it looks like
2. We then draw the template on paper
3. We then transferred the template to the piece of wood
4. And then I cut off the unwanted pieces to the puzzle
5. I then made sure that my puzzle works and fits through the holes
6. I then sanded the pieces to make it smooth
7. I then coated the pieces with polyurethane so it doesn't wear off easily and then I'm done

Outcome

Problem Solving

LO: Communicate what you have learnt and how you will apply what you know to the Year 9 Business Kete...

What did you learn about? 

I learned how to manage problems and how to find ways to solve the problem. I also learned how to manage your temper and how to keep calm while the problem is occurring

When discussing "thought Challenges"  what did you notice about yourself?

I notice that I started to fix the problem while in an assertive mode not by aggressive

What solutions can you try when you face a challenge during the Business & Enterprise Kete? Give an example.

During the Business & Enterprise kete, I will solve the problem by talking passively and calmly cause they would get angry if I yell at them. And I will tell them to calm and start to think of some solutions to solve our problem.

Conflicts

What did you learn?

I learned about the three types of conflict aggressive, passive, and assertive

When discussing conflict styles what did you notice about yourself?

I approach conflicts normally in a passive if things get worse I would try to be more passive than aggressive, cause you can't solve or fix any conflicts if you're stressed

 How can you reduce conflict during the Business & Enterprise KETE?

Don't always jump into conclusions always approach the conflict on a passive try to talk calm and don't blame each other.

Give an example of when you might need to calm during Business & Enterprise KETE.

When your product or didn't turn out as planned don't blame each other, try to be calm and talk and think with your group some new possible ways to fix your product

Being Mindful

What did you learn about?

I learned that being mindful uses all our 5 senses I also learned that being mindful means being in the moment or being aware of our surroundings and being mindful is important when contacting other people. Being mindful also means, thinking before you speak.

Is there anything difficult to understand? Why?

It's hard to understand how the different ways of mindfulness maybe it is because we haven't taught before.

When talking to a classmate how did you know what they were feeling?

It's because of their facial expression or body language and how they react and how the tone of there voice are.

How can you apply your new knowledge to the business KETE?

I would listen carefully to my group's opinion and suggestions.

Who Moved my Cheese

What did you learn about?

I learned about the video called " Who Moved My Cheese" and we learned that the meaning of resilience is never giving up.

Quote: Tough times don't last; tough people do

Was there anything difficult for you to understand?

No, there is nothing hard to understand

How did you relate to the video "Who moved my cheese?

In the video, there is a person who doesn't want to get out of his comfort zone meaning he doesn't want to try new things. It teaches me that, In life, in order to gain more knowledge or gain more experience we need to get out of our comfort zone and try new things.

How will you apply your new knowledge to the business KETE?

If the plan doesn't work, make it work by solving it trying new possible ways to fix your mistake.

Refraction (Investigating Refraction - Bending Light)

Aim: To investigate how light is affected by changing the substance it is traveling through.

Equipment: Ray box, power source, glass or perspex block, single-slit ray slide.

Method:

1. Collect the equipment from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.
2. Place the glass block in the shaded area below.
3.PLace your box at the top of the page and shine the beam so it travels along 10 degrees line to the center of the protractor ( this is your angle of incidence)
4. Read the angle the light leaves the glass block at ( this is your angle of refraction)
5. Continue the investigation so you can complete the table opposite

Results:
10 degrees - 6.6 degrees
20 degrees - 13.2 degrees
30 degrees - 14.5 degrees
40 degrees - 25.4 degrees

Refraction Occurs because light changes speed and direction when it moves from one medium to another

Medium is the word used by scientist to describe a substance that light will travel through. A medium can be a solid or a gas.
