Day 4: Data Collection at Warner Brothers Movie World

Us! Outside Movie World!

Strapping on the dataloggers for data collection!

 

We are Group 3 consisting of Clarice (Leader), Nadia, Kai Qi and Sandy.



Us doing our reflections for the evening!

Today we went to MOVIE WORLD... to collect data for the modelling forum. The probe was able to detect the distance moved in the x-y-z planes. We were all divided into different groups in our classes and hence we all faced different kind of difficulties and working methods. We had to pick a group member to wear the vest which held the calculators and probes.  In Sandy's group, she volunteered to wear the vest whereas KaiQi's group chose the person with suitable size to wear the vest properly as the person wearing it had to wear the vest tightly and securely.

In Sandy's group, she was the one wearing the vest to collect data. She had difficulties collecting data and even went onto the rides several times to ensure that the data is accurately stored. The calculators were hard to handle as it was a different model from the one we used in school.

For Nadia's group, all her group members and the A.B. Paterson students helped out set up the calcuators when carrying out the experments since her group was quite unfamiliar with the graphic calculators. With much teamwork, courage and perseverance, they managed to collect and store accurate data by going on the rides, even the scary rides such as the Lethal Weapon. :)) For Clarice's group, we appointed the A.B. Paterson pupil to  do the data collecting as he was most familiar with the devices.

After our data collection, we joined our fellow Cedarians for more rides. Some of the Cedarians went to the kiddy roller coaster, and this was somewhat like a warm-up roller coaster ride for Cedarians like Kai Qi who has never been on a roller coaster. Other Cedarians, like Grayce, were beside Kai Qi to comfort her and giver her moral support. It helped Kai Qi relax and she was more mentally prepared for the more challenging rides.

Today it was mostly more about fun than actual modelling because we only collected data for a few of the rides and we were allowed to roam around freely for the rest of the day. We had a great time and good fun at Movie World.



Marilyn Monroe touched us!!!!!

Later on in the night, we ate at Top One Chinese Restaurant. It was very close to our hearts as it was the first time we had nice warm soup going down our throats. Yum yum. We have noticed that the few meals that were catered were all Chinese food. This shows that A.B. Paterson were very considerate and took into consideration that we might not be used to the food here and its mega portions. It was a very satisfying meal and we can now go to sleep with a smile on our faces.
