Budgeting Language Dictionary - BST

 In business studies, I have been tasked with creating a Budgeting Language Dictionary. I have included the meaning and why they relate to 'Budgeting', I have completed the task and presented it through 'slides'. It was interesting to find out what the words meant and how they relate to 'Budgeting'.

After doing the research and discovering the meanings and how the words relate to 'Budgeting', it was some fun since some I didn't know a few of them and what they meant. All of this stuff will be needed when you are older and need to bother with money and bills, it is important I will know about this even if this is basic but that doesn't stop the information from being helpful.

Do you think this information was useful or not? Why/why not?

Mixture & Dissolve experiment

 Mixing & dissolving

Mixing: Having two or more substances combine and become one

Dissolving: Having one or more substances combine after a mixture or when in contact with each other

Aim: To see which combination would have the sugar dissolve the best in the conditions they were put in; hot/cold, spatula worth of sugar and stir/no-stir

Method: Getting a beaker and putting either cold/hot water in it then some spatula end size of the sugar, stirring or not and then timing.

Results - bold: my group: Chris, Tobey, Lincoln, Tyson and Me

1. 50mL of cold water + 1 spatula of sugar, stir: 59s, 58s, 61s, 55s, 41s - total: 274sec, average: 54sec

2. 50mL of hot water + 1 spatula of sugar, stir: 25s, 26s, 37s, 31 - total:119sec, average: 29.75sec

3. 50mL of hot water + 1 spatula of sugar, no stir: 46s, 31s, 90s, 87s, 127s - Total: 381sec, average: 76.2sec

4. 50mL of cold water + 1 spatula of sugar, no stir: 41s, 31s, 156s, 231s, 360sec - Total: 819sec, average: 163.8sec

Discussion:

I learnt that depending on if there is stirring or none then it makes a big difference since with/without speed then the concluding of water and sugar speed up will be fast and with none then slow. It can also depend if there is heat or cold involve, heat makes particles move faster and the cold slows them down. If heat and stirring are combined then it will be much faster than cold and no stirring ( no duh). I found the low numbers on the tests which should have taken longer were low, which could mean there was tampering or pure luck.

World mapping of Earthquakes

Earthquake mapping and research

World Map Earthquakes

In chaos, I have mapped Earthquakes, Researched one earthquake. I found the research interesting since I found out about places where terrible, high magnitude earthquakes took place and the times which they happened.

Drill gauge

In metal, we have been making a drill gauge. First one was from on tinkercad and the most recent by using an aluminium piece. I have made many holes and lines from the task given to me, we made the measurements and did the drilling and slicing. We are cutting it out using handsaws (the corners which are apart of the centrepiece, which we only need the centrepiece), so we can use it when we're using drills, getting a gauge on the sizes thus the name.

Alaskan Tsunami in comparisons to some buildings

In Chaos, I have been tasked to make a graph or in my case, a list of building heights compared to the wave of the Alaskan Tsunami in 1958

Top 10 Zombie Apocalypse Rules

 In Chaos, I was tasked with making a list of the top 10 zombie apocalypse rules. Here is my list, they are very important to know about if we do ever have to experience such a situation in the world.

The Marketing Mix - Promotion

For Business and Enterprise, my group and I named FineLine yoyos made cardboard yoyos. For the promotion of our product, we had made some advertisements on google drawings but never printed them. Fast forward to Market Day and we had sold out even without giving the people the knowledge of our product, wow! 

This is one of the advertisements we worked on, very simple but in the end, we didn't create any.

We thought that anyone would purchase our product since it is a yoyo. A simple, for all ages, toy and it is an intersex product so no sexism. This product is just so the user can have some fun, it works with any lifestyle, I think. It could be used as a stress-controlling item or something to cure boredom.

In reality, we never really did spread the word of our product we just hoped people that walked by would be interested in purchasing it. We did have some google drawings which we were planning to print and put around the school but the reality check is that most people will be doing other things like chatting and playing then inspecting adverts.

This strategy we have chosen to use does not at all really appeal to the target market, it does aim at all people but it's going for the people that are active enough to look at all stools just to see what everyone is selling.

Our business prioritised place as the area we chose to sell was close to the 'bank', the place in which people traded real money for paper money that only works with stools at the Market day. Our location wasn't super close to the 'bank but many still walked by and some purchased our product (thanks to all that bought our product). We had a good location in conclusion.

Do you think our product was worth it? Was the stool placement good and did the price seem reasonable?

I think my group and I did badly at promotion since, in the end, we did not go out of our way to promote and advertise it. I am just glad we somehow sold out and made a profit, it was amazing to know even a product you don't have faith in can sell.
