Sound Movie How does sound break glass?

This is a movie I have been working on. It is about sound.

How does sound break glass?
All glass has a resonant frequency it basically means a frequency at which an object will vibrate if it is disturbed by sound. When you tap the glass it will create a pitch. If you are able to copy that pitch loud enough eventually the glass will reach a point where it vibrates and breaks.

Echolocation and Ben Underwood

Echolocation is a way that some animals see. For example an animal will create sound waves. These sound waves reflect off an objects and an echo will come back to the animal. The animal now knows the location of the object, the size of the object and the destination or how far away the object is.

The animals that use echolocation are whales, dolphins and bats.  Whales usually swim down deep to the dark blue sea, so it is really dark! Using echolocation helps them a lot. That strange sound that whales make, thats the sound that rebounds off objects and comes back to them.

Bats sleep during the daytime and come out at night. So it is not exactly easy to see. They come out to hunt for prey. Bats us chirping sounds that reflect off other objects and come back to them. They have big ears to help them pick up the echo from sounds. As they get closer to their prey they chirp faster.

Ben Underwood was a unique kid who learnt the amazing skill of echolocation also known as bio sonar (Sound Navigation And Ranging). He was born on the 26th of January 1992. When Ben was born he was healthy, but began getting eye cancer at the age of 2.  He became blind at the age of 3, so he had to wear prosthetic eyes. He began make a clicking sound. This helped him develop the fantastic skill of echolocation.

Incredibly, Ben was always aware of danger. If Ben was playing on the road and a car was coming, he would be able to hear it before it even got on the block. Ben was never treated different. His family and friends alway treated him the same and acted like he was normal. Sadly he died in 2008 at the age of 16.

Echolocation can be very helpful. It is also a really unique way of seeing.

Keeping your house warm during winter is hard because the money you pay for thing like heaters. I will explain how to keep your house warm without electricity.

Tamaki Technology

Every thursday half of Pt England Intermediate. Walk down to Tamaki College for technology. We are all put into groups and there are 3 groups. There are Food Tech, Hardware and Materials and Grips tech. Each term we change groupes. Her are so things we learnt.

Are you thinking of making a (metal) necklace for a friend. Well read this to have a good idea of how to do it. First you need to choose your metal. Here are a few choices.

Did you know that the metal Lead is poisonous. If you ever want to melt Lead, you need to reach 330 degrees. This metal also develops a dull dark gray color. So I suggest not using Lead, but if you do then don’t expect it to stay new and shiny forever.

Now Brass, first of all it will begin turning into a green color. You also need to reach 900 degrees to melt it, which is quite high. So I suggest not using Brass, but if you do then be very careful .

Finally Gold. It is good, but it is also very expensive. In able to melt it, you need to reach 1050 degrees, which is extremely high and dangerous! So if you ever use Gold, I suggest being very very careful! You also need to have a lot of money.  But remember there are still more others like pewter and silver.

If it is not smove you should also sand it with sand paper. There are different sandpaper grips and as you move up to a higher grips it gets smover. When you finish you should use metal polish to polish it. Do this until you see a mirror shine(Until you can see yourself in it).

Leaving A Smart Digital Footprint

Did you know that while you are surfing the net, you leave a digital footprint. It is sort of like when you walk through snow, you leave footprints. So leaving a smart footprint is really important. These footprints get saved, so you can’t delete them no matter what.

Whenever you enter or leave a site, you leave a footprint with your name on it. It is like a digital snail trail you leave as you are on the internet. So leaving a smart and positive one is best. It is also like taking a walk at a beach, you leave footprints in the sand.

Don't just think if you delete your history no one will knows what you were on. You leave a footprint on everything. So try leave a good one. Your digital footprint is the trail you leave about yourself when you’re on the net.

However, leaving an inappropriate digital footprint can come back to bite you, especially when people that you didn’t intend to know certain things about you, come across your footprint online.

Stay safe on the net everyone. You actions now on the internet can affect your future. I hope that after reading this you will always leave positive footprints not negative.
