We went to M.O.T.A.T stands for museum of technology and transport.
Exploring
We explored M.O.T.A.T in groups. We went by an old village and see what was it like back in the olden days. It had a doctor place, a house,work shop, classroom and church. We then went to a small town and saw the toys that they also had (dolls,toy cars). We also saw the cars that they use to have which was a travel buggy,silvia, nissan cars (race cars)
my group went on a tram (like a train but electric and is smaller) we went to a hanger bay that had heaps of small planes some fighting planes and some cargo planes. They were all real and you could hear the sounds of what the planes sounded like and there purpose was. We also saw the engines used for the planes. We went back and saw some old tractors and more cars. Thats when we went back
Making a electric car
we had a partner an a few wheels and card bored and a skewer to put the wheels and a battery with propeller and mortar. The goal was to get the car as far as possible with the propeller. We all had 30 mins to get the car done. At the end it did not work as the car was to heavy to move.
turning on LED with gears
This was a group task and the task was to turn on a LED (light-emitting diode) we had to turn it on with gears and a mortar. We also had sticks for the cogs to work this was a group task, this was a small gear that would power the LED but first we had to connect it. To the mortar to make it work we also had gears so we could power the small gear which powers the mortar. We had to make it work as efficient as possible without turning the little gear. And also make a base for the project. Our group got to complete the project to make it efficient as possible but we failed to make our base.
