Archimedes Screw

8mt has made a model of Archimedes Screw in science. It is made out of tubing and cans. 

How does it work?

This is the model we made. First we softened the tubing so it can go around the cans. Then we put the small cans of soda together using the duct tape while the tube is in the hot water in a bucket. After that, we used a towel to dry the tube. Then we wrap the tube around the cans. We put some water in the bucket then we put the Archimedes screw in the bucket. Turn the Archimedes screw clockwise so that the water will go around inside the tube, but first you have to put the bucket in an angle so the Archimedes screw can be in an angle too. In the end of the tube at the other side of the Archimedes screw, the water will go out of the tube so the water will drop in the other bucket.  

How can you make it better?

I think we can make it better if its not manual and get something to turn the Archimedes screw around. Also if the bucket is in an angle.

Paper making through the ages

1. Other uses of the Archimedes Screw
2. Paper making through the ages
Inventor: Cai Lun 
Start: Ancient Egypt + Travel through times to today
Include: 
- What was used: Wood pulp. Wood pulp came from wood that is reduced chemically or mechanically to pulp and use in the manufacture of paper. 
- The path travelled around the world
China, Egypt, Muslin country, Europe, North Africa, Spain
They went to war and some of the people who makes paper (paper makers) were captured. They were brought to Samarkand. They the people from Samarkand learned how to make paper from the Chinese prisoners.
Include: Samarkand
- What relevance has religion to the spread and development of paper
Parchment paper that is made from sheepskin
What materials have been used:
Rags made out of cotton linen 
Wokey Hole paper making
When was wood pulp first used 
In Egypt
Paper making in NZ?
In Kewarau

How do you get water up a hill?

Job: Agricultural soil specialist
Scenario: Your client wants to plant crops in a field 1.5 above the local river. He/ she needs to get water to this field and has no electricity to run a pump and no hose. He/ she must start from scratch! How is he gonna achieve it?

Archimedes Screw = Archimedes- A Greek Mathematician

Archimedes, of Syracuse, was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. He was most famous for his invention, the Archimedes Screw. He was born in 287 BC, in Italy. He then died in 218 BC, also in Italy.

How does the Archimedes Screw work? - 
Science. The Archimedes screw consists of a screw  inside a hollow pipe. The screw is usually turned by windmill, manual labour, or cattle. As the shaft turns the bottom end scoops up a volume of water.

1. Isaac Newton

Who: Isaac newton was an established physicist and a mathematician who is credited and was one of the great minds of the 17th Century Scientific revolution. He discovered the optics, the motion and the mathematics. He also developed the principles of physics. 

Where: He was born at 4th January 1643 in Woolsthorpe by Colsterworth, United Kingdom and died at 20th March 1727 in Kensington, London, United Kingdom.

How is his work related to forces: Newtons Laws

Newtons laws:

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force. The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.

If an object stays still or keep moving in a straight line it will stay the same except a force acts on it.

2.'G' Forces

A G force is a force that acts on a body as a result of acceleration or gravity. For example, when you ride a roller coaster as you go down in a high obsticle you will feel the force pushing you against to your seat.
