Invention Story

 

It was 2030 Wednesday 10 March 12:36 and, I thought to myself, "if I invent something, will I be famous for that?" Will I be a leader for that invention?" I just stopped thinking then a second later, I had a brilliant idea, "I'm going to invent a plane without engines but with a propeller instead." I said, "Or maybe a spacesuit with wheels attached at the bottom so anyone can hover around." I added. I invited my friend over so I could tell her about it. It was 1:36 and she still wasn't here. Then suddenly I heard a knock at the door, She finally was here. We were excited to see each other because we had been in lockdown since the pandemic had struck us. "I'm very happy to see you!" she said,


I replied with "Me too." We sat at the table and talked until 2:40, talking about my invention. She told me about what she's been up to during the pandemic. I asked her to help me with my invention. She said yes, I got excited, but I started planning until midnight I was so tired I fell asleep on my desk. It was 9 in the morning when I woke up and got ready for the day. I carried on working on my plan for my invention someone knocked on the door, I opened it was a company "SSHTC" they said, I asked the man that looked formal, "what is that?" they said "Super Secret High Tech Company" My jaw dropped, because it sounded very secret. They asked me to work with them because somehow they found out that I'm inventing something. I didn't think anything will happen so I just agreed to work with them. They just told me that I have to start working tomorrow. After they just walked off. I felt confused, but I just left it. The next day I went to the address they had sent me yesterday when I arrived I got a call from my friend, she said she can come over and help with my invention, I said "no" she just said "oh ok" in a very sad voice. I said "sorry" but not quick enough because she cut the phone. I started working on my invention, a table with wheels and it is controlled by Bluetooth devices, it can also open up to make a bigger table that can also be controlled with Bluetooth. A week later I heard the SSHTC saying "Riansha has finished her table invention" at that moment I'm shocked. I immediately called my friend "THE SSHTC IS USING ME!" she was shocked she said, "what is that?" I said, "there is no time to explain." She quickly drove to pick me up, she came so fast she went skirty skirt on the road, we quickly went to the police and told them what happened just before all the screens in the city appeared with the man from the SSHTC saying that the SSHTC has made an invention "THAT'S MY INVENTION!" everyone was mindblown we told the police they believed us they rushed to the SSHTC and they caught them and took them to the police station, and just then I noticed that I was on every screen in the city “hello Christchurch, umm I have made a new invention” I said everyone was curious to know what it is, I told everyone “it is a Table with wheels and can open up all controlled with your devices, just connect it with Bluetooth.” Everyone started placing orders online on Wish, eBay, Esty, Amazon, AliExpress and other online shopping apps. I was very pleased when I left the building thousands of people were standing outside chanting my name “Riansha  Riansha Riansha,” after chanting everyone said, “you’re our new leader!” I was very happy because that answered my question I asked myself last week. A few hours after everything that had happened I was just on my phone scrolling through TikTok on my for you page, and I saw a TikTok that had me in it, I just felt proud of myself, I just kept scrolling through and I just realized I was famous and that answered the other question I asked myself.


The End


Gummy Bear Osmosis

Last week for Science period 2 we did an experiment (gummy bear osmosis). we had 3 different solutions there was a sugar solution, a salt solution and a water solution. We got 3 Petri dishes and poured the 3 solutions into each petri dish, after we put 2 gummy bears into each petri dish, then we left it for 25 1/2 hours. Then the next day period 3 we poured the water out of the Petri dishes and we took the lid off and looked for what has changed. I noticed that the gummy bear grew and lost the bottom of its colour.

100 Word Challenge - Dark Fantasy

Today for Wananga we have to do a 100-word challenge. First, we choose a book and choose 3 interesting words from that book. My 3 words are fantasy, vortex and evil. I thought this was very fun. I decided to make this theme horror. I decided to write horror because  I really enjoy writing horror. My favourite part was writing the story because I enjoy horror. My least favourite part was trying to get exactly 100 words.
Here is my story:

Skittle Observation

Yesterday in period 2 we did an experiment using Skittles. First, we had to get warm water in a petri dish, next, we had to put the skittles in the water at first I used 4 different colours red, orange, yellow and green after I used all the colours and put red, orange, yellow and green on the sides and the purple/brown in the middle. After we did the experiment we did observations on a doc.

Maori Battalions

Today in period 4 we are doing questions for the Maori Battalions. In our folder, we had a doc with quotations and we have to answer 3 questions. We have answered these questions before in our book as drafts but I got my good draft and copied the questions from there. The 3 questions are 1:Why were the soldiers as 28 (Maori) Battalion heroes? 2:Why were the stretcher Bearers heroes? 3:Why were hard-working soldiers leaders heroes? My answer to number 1 is they are heroes because they fought for their country and they took the Germans and enemy's weapons to save their own country. My answer to question 2 is they went around the battlefield evacuated the wounded and saved everyone's lives. My answer for question 3 is leaders who worked hard to avoid dangerous hazards, and looked after their soldiers and risked their lives. What was hard: nothing was hard. What was easy: writing my answers was easy.

Bunsen Burner & Boiling Water

Yesterday in period 2 we boiled water using Bunsen burners. We first had to get our gear and set the Bunsen burner up, after we got the beaker and put water in halfway and checked the temperature, then we light up our Bunsen burner, we left the water there for 5 minutes after we checked the temperature again, we did this for 2 different flames the safety flame and the roaring flame. The safety flame is the least hottest flame, the roaring flame is the hottest flame. What was hard nothing was hard, what was easy lighting the Bunsen burner. My favourite part was when one of the groups melted the plastic at the end of the thermometer. The aim was to see which flame on the Bunsen burner heats the water. Conclusion: The hottest flame is the roaring flame because the more you open the air hole the hotter the flame will get, the flame gets hotter when the air mix's with the gas.
