Electric cars

  • How do they work
    • They store energy in rechargeable batteries that power the electric motor that all electric cars have they all have a electric motor and use a charging stations or a wall outlet to charge it because it runs on electricity.
  • What is the difference between them and gaz cars and are they really better for the planet?
      • They all gave a electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine which is better for the earth, because it doesn’t emit any exhaust for the tail pipe

 

This graph show many this about both of the cars, their are two for each car one is max at the site i found (link)  the other is min. left is minimum and right is max it says under each one.

  • How easy is it to charge your car outside of your home

 

It is fairly easy to find a charging station around your house

Dear mr trudeau,

I would like to make a suggestion, the way that this earth is becoming polluted is crazy and it is like as a species we are slowly killing the planet. I have a suggestion on how we can help to stop pollution in the long term. There are 34 million cars in canada and every day when someone goes on a drive they are pollution the earth a little bit more, so i am suggestion that price of gaz in raised and the price of electric cars in canada is lowered. to make more and more people get electric cars because they are better for the planet. During this quarantine the pollution rates have gone down and i can’t help but this that its because less and less people and driving around in their gas cars. For every 57 metric tons of emissions that a gasoline car puts off a electric car only put of about 28, if everyone got a electric car instead of a gas car the the metric tons of emissions from cars would be slept in half and that would help with so much. Some other great thing about electric cars is that they make a lot less noise. I also think that there should be more charging stations in accessible places. The amount of charging station is overall okay but if more and more people start to get electric cars they’re will be a lager battle for spots and that will start to happen sooner rather than later because more and more people and buying electric over gaz because they are better for the environment.

Solution fluency- Fresh look at the periodic table

Jayden1 Comment

Define

We have been chosen by the science community to create a new periodic table.  Our task is to create a new periodic table that is easier to understand, and is represented it in a new way.

Develop

  • What is still needed on the periodic table?
  • How should we organize the new table?
  • How can we improve the old periodic table?
  • What will the process look like to build a new table?
  • What would be the most efficient way to organize the periodic table?
  • Why is the periodic table organized by atomic number is that the most efficient strategy?
  • How could the little detail be demonstrated better?
  • What should we keep from the old table?
  • What do people think of the old table?

Dream

What information does the periodic table tell you?

The periotic table is doing a really good of showing what each element is and their names but it doesn’t do a good job of showing what state the materials are at a room temperature. It doesn’t do a very good job of showing the periods of the elements. It is good at showing what the atomic number is and it is easy to read because of how large that text is and that helps to learn the table faster but it leaves out a bunch of the important things.

How could you arrange it differently based on its chemical and physical properties?

We all think that it would be a good idea to arrange the periodic table by periods because that is a good way to simply show the elements. The element aren’t easily  showing the periods in the most efficient way so we arranged it in a way that easy shows that.

What different shapes could be used?

The way that the periodic table it arranged it not th most effienect and is a very weird shape. We are going to arrange it in a way that makes more sense to use by  put it in a shape that demonstrates the periods and states easier. We are going to put all the periods in a separate section to show the periods better.

How can you use colour?

We can use many different colours to show all the different states and to show the groups and the periods. we plan on using colour to show more information about the elements. We plan on colour coding them to make the periodic table a lot easier to read.

Design: 

What is our plan?

We are going to organize the table by periods and they are going to all be in separate sections so that they can be easier to read. In my opinion the largest issue is the fact that it is harder to learn how to read so we play on separating it to make that easier.

 

Debrief

We separated the periodic table into sections based on what periods they are in. They all are also colour-coded by their groups and are put into a formation that makes it easier to read than the last periodic table. although it is still missing a couple things that the other periodic table had it is a simpler way to  read the table. If we had more time to work on it now we could succeed at making it better. Too improve the table we could have put it into a simpler form and we could have incorporated more of the little details. But overall this periodic table is easier to read than the last one. This periodic table does a good job of showing what group and periods all the elements are in and is easier for use to understand.
