DAY 3: INVENTIVE INVENTORS
Activity 1: Nanogirl [4 points]
Michelle Dickinson, AKA “Nanogirl”, is a nanotechnologist. That is an engineer or scientist who works with very small items called “molecules.” Michelle is famous for creating cool shows about science which she performs in schools around New Zealand. When she isn’t performing, she is working as a scientist in her own lab in Auckland. Over the years she has written two books and won many awards including the New Zealand Women of Influence in Innovation and Science Award and The New Zealand Order of Merit for her innovative work.
Like Michelle, many people in New Zealand like to create nano-sized (tiny) things. Some people even like to build tiny houses.
For this activity, please visit the ‘Build Tiny New Zealand’ website and scroll to the bottom of the page where you will find a series of Video Tours of tiny houses. Watch any three videos on the site.
On your blog, tell us whether, or not, you would like to live in a tiny house one day. Please be sure to tell us why you feel the way that you do.
I wouldn't live in a tiny house, because there wouldn't be enough space for friends if they wanted to stay over, or there wouldn't be enough space if I had family. The only thing I like about a tiny house is that you could travel to different place's. Why I wouldn't is because I would have to keep moving from place to place. Also because I like having lots of space.
Tiny houses are not for me either...however, Mr Collins and I are going to spend a few days in a yurt soon. Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!
ReplyDeleteKia Ora Lukas,
ReplyDeleteWell done for sharing your opinion on living in a tiny house.I think if I was going to live in a tiny house I would want to build it! That way I can design it and include anything I like. My friend is currently building her tiny house and she has included a second bed so when her friends ( like me!) come and stay I have a bed I can sleep in rather than sleeping on her couch. If you got to build your own home, what do you think you would include? I would include a massive pool and a cinema room where everyone sits on bean bags.
Blog ya later,
Dani
