Fast track

June 23, 2016 / / 0 Comments

In my opinion I think that fast track should not be allowed. The reasons why will be said in later paragraphs. 

My first reason why is because it is not fair for all of the people that might not be able to afford fast track. If they want to buy someone a present for their kids, girlfriend or boyfriend then it would be hard for them to buy fast track. It could be expensive depending on the ride.

My second reason is because people sometimes stand in the line for nearly an hour or maybe more. When people come past with fast track it can frustrate people. Some people may realise that you have to wait in queues and understand that when you pay for fast track that is not fair on others.

My third reason is because fast track is like cheating in a sport. For example. When you are a runner in the Olympics and you pay for steroids that put you infront of people, it is like the same as paying for fast track because it puts you infront of people in the line.

The conclusion for this piece is that I think that paying for fast track is wrong. I also think that paying for fast track is unfair to all the people that have been waiting in the line for over an hour.

Year Nine Experimental Research Phase Two: Plans

June 23, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Equipment that i will use for the experiment:

clamp – to keep the ruler in position. – i will use this to keep the experiment accurate and to make sure the ruler is in position.

paper helicopter – to see how long it takes to get to the floor.

stopwatch – to make time precise.

100mm ruler – to make the experiment as precise and accurate as possible.

 

letter (science work)

dear RAF,

hi, I am Archie reed and I am a proud holder of the electromagnet badge. I achieved this badge by doing an experiment on making electromagnets, I also had to create a table of how many coils it would take to pick up a certain amount of paper clips. I studied science throughout my school life and still study it now. I enjoyed science and am proud of how science is still enjoyable especially at my age.my most recent experiment is paper helicopters, i would like to sell the paper helicopters to you because i believe that it could make you loads of money.

I believe that paper helicopters would make you money because your a special organization that works with aircraft and i think that the paper helicopters would be up your street. i think that it would make you money because it can be measured easily and you can time how long it takes to fall.you can also use it to tell your troops at what time they will have to jump if their helicopter or plane is falling down to crash land. The paper helicopters are a good thing for your organization because they would make good examples of crash landing helicopters. They would make also make a good presentation, to show examples of how the helicopters drop in crash landings.

Paper helicopters are easily timed, the mass can also be easily changed. By changing the mass the helicopter would fall faster. You can also make it fall slower by changing the length of the propellers.

I hope you enjoyed reading my letter and i hope you want to buy my paper helicopters. I also hope that you take my experiment for granted and use my experiment to make a fair amount of money.

kind regards Archie reed.
