Sit and Reach Reflection
.
What went well - we worked together very well and got a lot done. Additionally, it was really fun and we had a lot of fun.
What I learnt - great exercises and that a lot of practice will come in handy
What I could do differently - come with a lot more exercises as I only came with 4.

CWW
This is a little late for this post but this is the 3 day camp that we did in school in October.
Hi guys, just got back from CWW, and here are some pictures of the wildlife in Pular Ubin and MacRitchie. There's not enough space for all of them, so here are a few.
This is a 30 meter tree that I found in the bush in the forests of Pular Ubin.

Neutral Actors
Sound: I cannot hear the neutral actor's specific words as they are blurred together and is just general noise.Camera Work: The people that are centred in the image are the main characters, while the neutral ones are blurred. However, sometimes the neutral actors are not blurred like the one on the left.
Costumes: All the neutral characters in this video are dressed in black, while the others are wearing different colours.
The director tries to focus on the main characters by zooming in on the main character or blur the neutral characters so you would not notice them. The director also makes the sound of the main character loud and outstanding while the neutral characters are soft and blurred.
It is easier to focus on the neutral characters when the sound is mute as you cannot hear the main character's voices, so you can pay attention more to the neutral characters.

What is My Reaction Time?
(In the experiment we only showed one person's hand, but we tested both.)
What is is:This is an experiment that shows me which hand has a faster reaction time.
Variables of this experiment:
Variables
* The distance of the thumb and pointer finger
* The thumb and pointer finger is aligned with the 0,
* Gravity does the work for the ruler to fall
* The other person has to let go of the ruler unexpectedly.
* Non-Dominant and Dominant hand
Hypothesis
* I think that the reaction time of the dominant hand will be faster than the non-dominant hand as your right hand is used for more things.
Variables that I will try to keep the same:
* The distance of the thumb and pointer finger
* The thumb and pointer finger is aligned with the 0,
* Gravity does the work for the ruler to fall
* The other person has to let go of the ruler unexpectedly.
Sample size:
About 5! people, or 120 people, right handed and left handed. That is because if everyone was right handed, you wouldn't know about the other people who were left handed. Also, you would need 10 trials for each person.
Type of data: Quantitative
Procedure (Also in video):
1. Take a ruler that is 30 cm long and a rubber band to start the experiment.
2. Place your rubber band between your thumb and pointer finger, rubber band slightly tight.
3. Slowly take your fingers out of the rubber band , and place them right at the 0 of the ruler.
4. Your partner places their fingers exactly on top of the 30.
5. Your partner drops the ruler unexpectedly, leaving gravity to let it fall
6. The amount of cm you catch it at is your reaction time for your one hand.
7. Repeat this several times for the same hand.
8. Do steps 2-7 again for the hand you have not tested.
9. That's it!
A graph to show the results of our experiment: (video only showed doing both hands once):
and the results for my partner,
Conclusion: The reaction time of the dominant hand will be faster than the non-dominant hand.
Why: The evidence clearly showed that, since that I am right handed, and the amount of cm is lower for my right hand, my right hand has the faster reaction time.
It is the same with my partner.

My Minute Scores
This graph tests my general math knowledge. It indicates that I am quick, but sometimes careless in my "minute" scores.
