Unit 2: Fan

For Unit 2 I decided to take a picture of a fan. This has everything to do with Unit 2 because of all the moving parts in it. I thought this was very appropriate for because a fan is pretty much only moving parts. There are buttons that move, the motor, the blades, and all the electricity and wires going through it. Not only is it moving parts, its purpose is to move something. It causes wind to move in a certain direction and sometimes causing other materials to fly around. I think the most interesting thing is that you can choose how much energy it gives off. It turns potential energy into actual moving energy.

Chapter One- Unit Conversion

Since this chapter deals with unit conversion and we are relating things to the real world, I picked something that I use almost everyday. I chose my tennis racquet because I just had to resting it and there are many unit conversions on it. It converts length, weight, and tension from the standard system to the metric system. This is very useful because tennis players come from all over the world not just the United States. So having the metric system units helps many people when the play tennis. Also in the pros they measure how fast your serve goes in kilometers and then they convert it to miles per hour.

About Me

I entered Kamehameha in the 7th grade as a boarder from Kaua'i. I am currently a junior and live in Lunalilo dorm. I enjoy going to the beach, playing tennis, and cruising with my friends.
    For my freshmen year I had Mr. Hutchison for BSCS and I had Ms. Higa for chemistry last year. I wouldn't consider science as one of my stronger subjects but I do find it pretty interesting. The last few years I have averaged a C for my science grade. The current math class I am in is Algebra 2. 
This picture describes me because this is when I was cruising with my friends after coming back from the beach. It's the two things I like to do and I think I'm a cruise kind of guy most of the time. I also enjoy Kaua'i which is in the background and the outdoors.
