New Bridge SLJ Activity #10

 Hello,

Today i am doing a task where i have to make a pedestrian and cyclist walk way for the Auckland Harbour Bridge. It was fun to do and i learnt a lot of stuff about bridges. This is what i did:

My idea is to have a suspended long oval over the current bridge. It will be suspended by poles and stabled with cables to the existing bridge. My bridge must be able to withstand the strong winds and maybe earthquakes. So the bridge must be flexible but stable.

Do you have another idea for the bridge ?

The Best Way to Travel SLJ Activity #19 (Part2)

Hello, 

My previous blog was also on the best way to travel. I chose travelling by bicycle because it is low cost, low carbon foot print and it is good for us. 

New Zealand is so far away form the rest of the world. We are surrounded by the oceans and sea. How are we going to travel beyond our borders and across the water?

Actually I think that the best way to travel it by plane because of our geographical situation. It  is an exciting way to travel in my opinion and it's faster and has less accidents than other methods of travel. Air travel can reach most destinations in hours. Air travel also benefits the economy, as well as additional aid to safety and health. That why i think that travelling by plane is the best.

I also understand that we need to come up with a sustainable bio fuel which is renewable and cost effective because the main thing making air travel the best way to travel is the cost.  

What do you think is the best way to travel ?

The best way to travel SLJ Activity #19 (Part 1)

Hi everyone,

This is my work for the best way to travel. It has to be low cost, low carbon emission and good for us. The obvious way would be by bike.

Don't you agree with me?

Future Travel SLJ Activity # 5

Hello everyone,  

Today we move around our city in cars, bikes, buses, trains, scooter or skateboards. In this task we have to think what we are going to use to move around in the future.

We have to consider whether it uses fuel. If it does then it must be bio fuel and not fossil fuel so that it can be renewable. We must also consider other renewable energy like solar power, wind power or even hydrogen power. It has to be cost effective and sustainable. It must also be able to move many people quickly.

I have come across many great ideas and power saving transportation. The one that impresses me most is the magnetic train in China because it does not use fuel. More about the Maglev train here.

What is you favourite future transport?

Stop Motion SLJ Activity # 11

Hello everyone,

Today I tried doing the Stop Motion activity. It was fun! 

My story is about a town and the people were going about their usual business.  From nowhere huge dinosaurs appeared and the people tried to drive off but couldn't. The cars ended in a pile up. Some people were eaten by the dinosaurs. It was Christmas time when this happened.

What is your story?
