Student Conference Reflection

                                                               Breakout
                                     1
This week we did student conference and for breakout one I chose Technology challenge so we started off inside the room with a teacher giving us instructions for what we had to do. What we had to do was get 1 marshmallow, 20 spaghetti sticks, 1 long string and 1 long sticky tape then we had to build the tallest tower and the winner got to get Fredo frogs which was chocolate. So first we needed to get into a group, my group was Kurt and Haley the other group was Callum, Daniel, charlie and Neo and the other one was Ryan, Luke, Nathan and Joshua.

First we started off making the tape double sided so we cant stick it on the bottom and the top would have the spaghetti on the top so we can make it stick. Then we stick the 2 spaghetti sticks and tape it  and then we kept doing that then it was unbalanced and the same as the other teams. Then the team CC Which had Callum.Daniel,Charlie and Neo was in it.

For the second breakout I choosed Cool apps to share for learning. First we got shared a Doc, the first App was Duolingo what you do on Duolingo was learn languages. The second app was Emaze for Emaze you could create amazing presentations, Then we had break after the 2 presentations. What we did for break was playing Wink Murderer after that we did 2 more apps which was Movenote and School note. MoveNote is something for recording what ever you want either its for your work or a video. Next is School note, School note is good to play around with.

For the third breakout I chose Coding and programming.  For that we learned how to program like put music,looks,events,sound and other amazing stuff. Well first we learned how to move our character then next we learned how to put music on when your character is moving and put on a pet or other characters then next we learned to customize our character then for last we had to do a drawing that looked 3D.

At last I chose Science, why? Because I like to learn new things. So first we had to get into a group that is equaled then the teacher had to explain what we had to do. What we needed was 1 copper wire 1 battery 1 paper clip and one long nail. So my group was Callum,Joshua,Hamish and I, what we had to do was figure out how to make the paper clip stick to the copper wire without using your hand to put the paper clip and wire together otherwise that would be cheating.

So first we put the b
attery on the ground then we tried to tie the nail to the wire then we were confused. But the teacher came and gave us advice for us. The advice was to wrap the copper wire around the nail and the wire has to be close to each other when your wrapping it
then the teacher gave us other advice but not really a advice just showing us and telling us about the battery.
Then we figured it out all we had to do was put the battery on top of the wire then the other side of the wire which is wrapped to the nail had to touch the paper clip then we did it we solve it! after that we finished but we learned how to magnet the nail to the paper clip, it was because the nail and wire still had magnetic on it.
