Reflecting on Te Ao Whanui

W.A.L.T. we are learning to read instructions carefully and complete our work to our personal best 

Hi this week in Te Ao Whanui/reading we have been reading about an upgrade on gas and coal energy and using wind to make energy. Here is a link to the texts

I finished the task that was set as good as I could. I found a right spot to set and not talk to get my work done. I read the questions as carefully as I could so I could get the task finished at the right time.  

how do you get your work finished?

Changing Lives The Omeo Story

In your own words,  write a short paragraph (3-5 sentences) that explains what the Omeo is.

The Omeo is an upgrade of the man powered wheel chair. you don' t need to push or pull, it is all electric, it can go of road its easier to control than an wheel chair.

It took the Omeo team a long time to turn their ideas into reality.

List at least 2 ways that the Omeo is different from a traditional man-powered wheelchair?

1. you use your body to move the Omeo, you lean to the right then you turn to the right, it the same all around.

2. The Omeo can go off road an its easier to control.

What is “one of the most liberating things” about the Omeo?

The Omeo makes it more easy to control and help the people that can't walk.

Think of something you use in your life… what modifications could be made to it that would make it more accessible for people with a physical or invisible disability. 

I would make something that could help people that can't walk, I would make it so you can put it away faster, it can go over bumps, is not man powered so you don't have to push the wheel chair it is able to fit in a car and it can go on an airplane.

Bessemer Furnace

Bessemer Furnace

Hi today we had to be in a group of 4 to find out what we most need in our life in the old days.

I picked Bessemer Furnace because you need it to cook food to survive. Bessemer Furnace is less expensive then ovens, that means you can buy it faster to cook food.
