What is the Sine rule?

 Today in math we have been learning about the sine rule. We worked on a shared slideshow with the whole classroom to put information about the sine rule. Here is a photo of the information Zapa and I discovered about the sine rule. 

This photo explains how to use in when solving problems and it shows the formula that is needed to work a problem out when using the sine rule.

Practice paragraph

Colour and Lighting

In the film Blade Runner 2049, the aspects of Colour and Lighting were paired effectively in the scene where K walks into his apartment to meet Joi. We see this when K takes Joi outside to show her the rain and show her that it won't affect her in any bad way. The lighting is low-key because it's really dark and gloomy.

Indices

 Indices

What is a Math Indice?

An index number is a number that is raised to a power. The power, also known as the index, tells you how many times you have to multiply the number by itself. Here is a link to the site I found this information from- Link to site


What are the rules around Indices?

Index laws are the rules for simplifying expressions involving powers of the same base number.  Watch out for the powers of negative numbers. 

I found this information from google.


What happens to a positive and negative number?

When working out an equation, if the number of the indice is a negative number and the number the indice is next to is negative, then the answer will end up as a negative. 

If the indice is a positive number and the number next to it is a positive number, then your answer will be a positive number.

If the indice is a positive number and the number next to it is a negative number, then your answer will become a positive number.

Mains Power tools

 BLOG POST LAYOUT FOR MAINS POWERED TOOLS 


SAFE USE OF  MAINS POWERED TOOLS AND EXTENSION CORDS 

Describe/ Explain what is a mains powered power tool? 

A mains power tool is a power tool that must be plugged into a wall to work.


Where are you likely to use it?

Most likely used in a workshop or a building site.


Give 3 examples of a mains power tool you may have already used. 

Nail Gun

Jigsaw

Heat Gun


Describe/explain the task you used it for.

Nail Gun- Used to drive nails into my wood to hold it together.

Jigsaw- Used to cut shapes and curves in your wood.

Heat Gun- Heat guns are commonly known for their use to strip paint and weld or bend plastics.



General safety around electricity. 

Make sure no wires are cut, Keep wires away from heaters or warm appliances.


What to look for. If any of the equipment is broken.

What do I do if something is wrong. Cut the power, turn off electrical appliances.


 General hazards and dangers of a mains powered power tool- 


What is meant by “RCD” Why is it important- RCD stands for “Residual Current Device”  It is important to have RCD protection when using electrical equipment outdoors.


What is meant by “Double Insulation”- Double or reinforced insulation is another method of protection against electric shock, consisting of an extra layer of supplementary insulation over the basic insulation 

Why is it important- Double insulation construction of appliances and tools allows the manufacturer to produce a lower-cost product.



Safety checks and safe working practices when using a mains-powered tool- Make sure it has the safety tag on the cord, Make sure the cord is put somewhere so no one trips over it.

2022 L2 Engineering 



Hazards and dangers of extension cords- Tripping hazard, Exposed wires.



Safe Use of extension cords- Always put the cord away when finished with it, unplug it when finished.



General PPE when using mains-powered tools 




Signage- Engineering

 Hazard Identification & Action

A hazard can be described as anything that could cause you and others any form of harm.

A hazard that can cause you serious harm is described as significant.

Once a significant hazard has been determined the school must take “all practical steps” to eliminate, isolate or minimise the significant hazard.

Safety Signage

Here are some examples : Identify the sign, Describe what it means ,Explain what action you would take 

Slippery when wet
