-Business and Enterprise

This is my Business and Enterprise work from this morning. I've really enjoyed doing it so far and I hope that my group will be successful on the day. We have already finished the planning and now we just have to make our product. We're hoping to raise over 50 dollars for funding for school trips and equipment that we need around the school.

-Forensics

-What does a Forensic Scientist do?

Forensic Scientists apply Scientific knowledge and skills to investigating Crimes and helping the Police find or eliminate Crime Suspects. They may also do research into developing or improving Forensic Techniques.

-What types of evidence do they collect from crime scenes?

The evidence they collect is very important to the whole Crime Scene. They could collect almost anything from a Crime Scene, Some types of evidence that can be collected are: Weapons, Fibers, Cells, CCTV, DNA. They can Analyse Substances such as Glass, Paint, Fire Debris and fibers which can provide crucial evidence in a case. This kind of Non-Biological evidence can provide vital links between the Victim, Suspect and Crime Scene. 

-What is Genetic Profiling? 

Information about specific genes, including Variations and Gene Expression, in an individual or in a certain type of Tissue. A Genetic Profile may be used to help Diagnose a Disease or learn how the Disease may progress or respond to treatment with Drugs or Radiation.

-What are some of the jobs?

-Forensic Anthropologist

Forensic Anthropology is a special sub-field of Physical Anthropology (the study of human remains) that involves applying Skeletal Analysis and techniques in Archaeology to solving Criminal Cases. Forensic anthropologists specialize in analyzing hard tissues such as bones.

-Forensic Psychologist 

Forensic Psychologists help Police Officers close cases by explaining what kind of a person would be most likely to commit a certain type of Crime and what their background could be like. Forensic Psychologists also help the Court System by assessing or Diagnosing people being Suspected of Committing a Crime.

-100 Word Challenge

 

The cool shining water was swallowing people as they dived into the water. Screams could be heard as tiny kids flew down the hydro-slide. The lifeguards were slowly heating up because of the sun. The sun was a bright yellow, Almost white. Whistles could be heard loud and clear as kids sprinted down the sidewalk. Changing room doors slammed because people were mindlessly wandering out. Parents were sighing as their kids slipped over. The water was cooling down furiously hot people.

-English

Yesterday in English we had to search up and find the meaning of some words. We were meant to do five words off the sheet but I didn't have enough time to write them all.

Here's my work:

There should be no NEPOTISM in Politics.

-House Blog -Science and Maths

Recently in Maths and Science, we have been studying OHM’S Law. The purpose of this is to understand the concept of Electricity and Voltage. I chose House A and 7 Bulbs for each room. 

For the calculations I measured the diameter of the whole house; and then each room and then I times it together. 

The whole diameter of the house was: 15m x 10m. 

I can’t show any photos because I don’t have any.

Voltage: a force difference expressed in volts. 

Current: How quickly the electrons move around a circuit. 

Resistance: It pushes back against the current. 

If we were to do it again I would choose a harder house and then maybe make more rooms. I would also change the amount of bulbs I chose. I enjoyed doing this project because it was entertaining and enjoyable.
