Banking key words

In business studies, we have been learning about banking and everything about it. Today we have been given an option for business study, to either make a crossword or a FAQ's page. I chose to make a crossword. We have had to make it about what's know and the different types of banking on the key word.

I feel I have learned more than I expected. It's good we learn this in school because back a couple of years ago they didn't teach you about this stuff and threw it at you when you got to the real world. I hope this will help me in the future and think it will impact me.

If you think I missed things out please tell me in the comments.

here is the source of my crossword

Stone age Essay

 During the Stone age period, there were many significant technological advancements at this time. Some of the important inventions during this time there were Weapons, Traps, and tools, and everyday items. This essay is going to focus on pens, paper, and dental hygiene. I’m going to cover the improvement and the availability of these products from then till now. These inventions are still widely used today.

The invention of the toothbrush and toothpaste has changed drastically. When the toothbrush was first invented it was created with a stick of wood and broken up bits of bamboo or bone, and boar bristles. Toothpaste was originally created by mixing crushed Rock salt, Mint, Pepper, and Iris flower. They decided they need to make the toothbrush and tooth past because they wanted to stop tooth decay and bad breath. Back in the stone age tooth decay was a big thing because they didn't have any toothbrush or toothpaste. Nowadays we have plastic and plastic bristles, tooth past is now made with abrasives and surfactants and many more products. We make them in factories and are very easy to come across and is now an essential part of life.

The invention of paper was the best invention back then. If they didn't make it when they did who knows how it would be created to this day. In the stone age, they use to make it with Papyrus witch is the Egyptian word of paper. They believe that they created to make paper to write scrolls and to help create the first langue. Nowadays paper is easier to make and easier to come across, we use paper in our everyday life. We now create paper in factories and not by hand and we can write on it a lot easier than the stone age. Also, languages have advanced. There are 20+ languages in the world and they are easy to come across and study because of the internet.

Witch led them to make pen and pencils They used Liquid ink pigment and a single reed straw they use the reed straw as support. Before they had pens they drew things with clay and they draw things on a rock for pictures and tell stories. Nowadays we have plastic and wood to make pens and pencils they are created in factories and they are very easy to get

In the conclusion of this essay, the thought that we still use these items every day since it was created is bizarre. Because who thought that the expensive and hard things to get them are now so easy and cheap to get now. All of these inventions are still widely used today and we need these basic essentials to live.

Speeding past School, SCI Test

 In science, we have been learning about how to calculate the speed from distance/time

We used this to investigate the speed of cars on Carman road.

We did this by timing the cars from one pole to another, this distance was 50m. We timed 10 cars. 

To figure out the speed, we divided the distance by the time the car took to cover the distance. Out of the 10 cars, 3 were speeding- as they were going faster than the speed limit of 50kmh. The fastest car was going 51.4kmh. The slowest car was driving 18.83kmh. 

What colour the lights were affects how fast the cars are going. This is why they were either close to or over the speed limit or going slow. 

I could have improved my experiment by taking more times, or to have a more confined area to see when to start/stop the timer.

I could hear the birds chirp every morning, the view was breathtaking, The noise was tranquil, Flowing rivers and birds everything. There was nothing in the world that could replace this. In my spare time, I would find green stone to carve. It was so majestic the land was natural. It was like a view or a scene in a movie. You don't think it is real until you visit. I tried to invite my friends but they think it is “old, tedious and scary ” But they are city people so I get it. I didn't choose nature life, nature life chose me.
