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 like the idea of having your house everywhere you go but you need to change the water every couple of days and I think it is too small for me. It is good for people who like to travel around the country.
Hi David! And Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and you're enjoying your summer holidays. It's awesome to see that you've been making time to complete some of the Summer Learning Journey activities - well done! :)
Fair enough. It would be pretty tricky adjusting to living in such a small house. How great would it be to clean though?! It wouldn't take long at all. Have you stayed in a tiny house before? Last Easter I stayed in a tiny house in Whitianga where the bedroom was on a platform above the lounge and you had to pull a ladder down to get up to it. It was very cool.
Have a great day, David. Keep the Summer Learning Journey posts coming! :)
Bye for now,
Mikey
