Making Real Birds

Dear Bloggers,

Years 3 and 4 made birds that used levers to flap their wings and a tilt sensor to detect a changes in direction as they moved up and down to eat and tweet.

The students then researched real birds and transformed their generic avians into actual birds.

Here is a Rainbow Lorikeet

A falcon

A Flamingo

and two Penguins.

Drawbridge

Dear Bloggers,

Years 3 and 4 have just finished a large unit of work on drawbridges.

Here is a video of the model in action with the motion sensor detecting the movement of the boat. The motor turned clockwise and the bridge moved up for 5 seconds to allow the boat to pass underneath.  The bridge stayed up for 5 seconds and then took another 5 seconds to come down after the boat had passed. This involved the motor moving anticlockwise.

Fast workers  used ‘send and receive commands’ between different computers to synchronise two bridges going up and coming down.
