2. The flat battery had used up all the chemicals inside it, while in the new battery all the chemicals are
    still there.
3. You have solar panels, you can usually find them on roofs since there is less shadow to stop the light
    from going on the solar panels.

Q1, A dynamo takes the speed on the wheel to turn round, the dynamo uses the speed to create light  
      energy. But the dynamo has to be pushed against the wheel, and works exactly the same a the bricks,
     but the bricks press harder.

Mean, Median and Mode

Mean is when you have a set of data, you add it up together and divide it by the amount of data you had.
Mode is when you order all the data from lowest to highest and choose the one right in the middle.
Median is when you tally mark them and see which has the most tallies.

Some advantages of Mean is that

  • It's easy to do even with bigger numbers. 
  • It's accurate and reliable
  • You look at the whole picture (equal weighting)
Some advantages of Mode is that
  • No calculator or calculations are needed
  • You see the majority
  • You see repetition
Some advantages of Median is that
  • You can find the data which occur most
  • It's easy to check if you went wrong somewhere
  • It discludes odd (weird) numbers
Though some of the disadvantages for Mean is
  • You need a calculator, normally too for small calculations (or it just takes longer)
  • If something goes wrong, you never know, and if you do you have to start all over again.
  • You can end up with a number with infinitive amount of decimals
Some disadvantages of Mode are that
  • Numbers which are odd (weird) they are discluded, which is a good thing sometimes, but sometimes not.
  • The Mode may not always be in the middle (eg. 4, 5, 5, 5, 8, 9, 10,10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 15 where 5 is the Mode)
Some disadvantages of Median are that

  • When you have number with decimal places it harder to even find any number which are the same
  • Number which are odd (weird) are discluded, which is a good thing sometimes, but sometimes not

Where can you find Mean

In Humanities, the GDP PP is in mean. The GDP PP is on average how much money one person urn in a country.

Where can you find Mode

When you want to order a group into two smaller groups. The taller once and the shorter once. Just find the Mode and split it up right at the sides of that person.

Where can you find Median

In a shop, where a shoe seller wants to know which size shoe he sells most so he knows which to order the most. 

Circuits

In today's Science class we learned about circuits with electricity. My Science teacher showed us this application called Circuit Construction Kit, now I have to write a report about what I've learned from this application.

So one of the easiest circuits to make is pretty much this:

A single cell with a light bulb and a switch
One that looks like this is called a serie circuit.

This is a complete circuit, there are no gaps neither damaged area's. That's also how a switch works, it makes a gap in the circuit when you want it off so it doesn't work anymore, when you switch it back on it repairs the gap and the circuit start working again.

The whole point of a single cell is that the electrons move from a high concentration (the + side of a single cell) to a low concentration (the - side of a single cell), so if there is no - side to go to, why would the electrons move? 

A different kind of circuit looks like this:

This is called a parallel circuit. Where at one point the wire split up and later come back together. Notice the Amps change throughout the wire.

There was also a bag located on the top right corner. I put each item in a circuit of just a single cell. The once that worked where:


A paperclip, but it bursted into fired immediately

A pencil (with lead inside), it was very very slow though



And a coin, but was surprising to me is that the electrons lost some of their voltage the longer the wire is. 




Some of the object that can't convert electricity are:
A rubber
A dog
A dollar bill
A hand

What do the object that do convert electricity and don't have in common. Well if you notice that all the object that it does work on (paper clip, coin, pencil) are all made out of metal. Metal is a good electricity conductor, and the other (rubber, dog, dollar bill, hand) are all non-metal and because of that poor electricity conductors.

Human Rights - Freedom of Thought - Sudan

In today's IT lesson we talked about Sudan and Human Rights.
We had to research Human Rights, and I did this together with Maddy and Aleksi.
So we made a few question at the beginning, and answered them, and on the end some general information about the freedom of thought in Sudan










What are human rights?
Human rights are made for every person no matter what race,nationality, gender, culture, religion, colour, language or status.  Basically the freedom or something you are entitled to do. Some of these include; The rights to speak your mind, the right to live, Freedom of religion and to be treated equally( there are a total of 30 human rights)  There are many rights, Most of the time they are specifically dedicated to a certain group but Human rights are dedicated to every human... Everywhere


How were human rights made?
http://www.humanrights.com/#/what-are-human-rights


When was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights made and where?
10 December 1948. At the Palais de Chaillot, in Paris, France.


Can we change human right?
Yes, every 10 December each year people go through the human rights and make any necessary changes.


Who made the human right?
Eleanor Roosevelt (United States of America), 
RenĂ© Cassin (France), 
Charles Malik (Lebanon), 
Peng Chun Chang (China), 
Hernan Santa Cruz (Chile), 
Alexandre Bogomolov and Alexei Pavlov (Soviet Union / Russia),
Lord Dukeston and Geoffrey Wilson (United Kingdom), 
William Hodgson (Australia) and 
John Humphrey (Canada).


Which other countries don’t support the human right laws?
Although many countries participate in the human rights laws there are some who dont. Mostly third world countries.


Why do we all need human rights?
If we don’t have human rights no one would be treated equally and people would be discriminated against and would have to work for someone who has a higher status with not as much freedom and choice. If there were no Human Rights and no laws or rules, there would be war, slaves and cruelty. punishments.


Why is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights important?
“Because it protects and promotes your individual rights.”
------











Here are the thirty human rights.
1. We are all born free and equal
2. Don't discriminate
3. The right to life
4. No slavery
5. No torture
6. You have rights no matter where you go
7. We're all equal before the law
8. Your human rights are protected by law
9. No unfair detainment
10. The right to trial
11. Were always innocent till proven guilty
12. The right to privacy
13. Freedom to move
14. The right to seek a safe place to live
15. Right to nationality
16. Marriage and family
17. The right to your own things
18. Freedom of thought
19. Freedom of expression
20. The right to public assembly
21. The right to democracy
22. Social security
23. Workers' rights
24. The right to play
25. Food and shelter for all
26. The right to education
27. Copyright
28. A fair and free world
29. Responsibility
30. No one can take away you human rights

------






So in Sudan, some of the Human Rights are not respected yet. The Interim National Constitution is working on making the right in Sudan work. They have done some progress as in 2005 they have provided Sudan with the right of though, which is an important one because religion brought some problems to the country. There where two main religions in Sudan: Muslim and Christian. Approximately 70% of the people in Sudan are Muslim, and they live in the north. The rest (most of them) are Christian and they live in the South. They had a huge war between them, and this right being provided contributed to the war and aggression to slowly decrease. Though it’s still going on today.
