Navigation in space!!

Hi, guys welcome back to another blog post. Today in period 3 we had science. For Science today we were doing some research/learning about navigating without your 5 senses. Today was our research day and tomorrow is going to be the day we try out the experiment. We are going over to Kyle Park because our field is getting renewed. After I do my experiment I will write about it after the experiment.

Aim: our aim is to have a bucket on our head and walk in a straight line.                                Can I Navigate in a straight without using my senses?

Research:

Q1: What are our 5 senses?  Our 5 senses that our body uses is Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch: This is how our body/humans receive sensory information.

Q2: How do people get lost in the jungle? people get lost in the jungle because they are unfamiliar with their surroundings and the jungle is a very big place and everywhere you look it looks the same 

Q3: Do you have anything special about your legs? Yes the special things about our legs are that they are all different lengths and size, and fun fact one of your legs is bigger and longer than the other and it's most likely your right leg.

Hypothesis: Since my right leg is longer then my left leg, I predicted that I will walk either in a circle or in a zigzag, I might even walk into a bush if my safety partner doesn't give me a Warning.

Method:

Equipment:

• Bucket: To put over your head.
• Cotten wool: To put in your ears so you won't hear much 
• Blindfold: To cover your eyes so you won't cheat and look on the ground.
• Safety person: To keep us safe so we don't walk into a tree.

Instructions:

1. Firstly we are going to make sure that we have everything that we need, and make sure you have a person that you can trust to keep you safe just in case you are going to walk into a tree or bush. 
2. Secondly, put the cotton wool in your ears.
3. Thirdly place and tie your blindfold around your head so it's covering your eye.
4. Get your safety person so they can spin you around 3 times and line you up with the flag.
5. Begin to walk and a straight line, and then see how you do.
6. Write down how you did and felt once you finished the experience. 

Conclusion/Results:

So after doing The challenge a couple times with my partner Lita we were differently lucky and surprised we were still alive. On my first go, I was close to getting to the end tree but I wasn't close enough to be successful. My obvious complication was not being able to see and when I was going the wrong way or turning I wouldn't notice because I was blindfolded. As soon as the bucket was put on to my head and spun three times I felt a little bit scared because I didn't know which direction I was going to go in. I think that it is possible to walk in a straight line, but since we are so used to using our senses, as soon as they are taken away and we are no longer are able to use them, we struggle to do things like walking in a straight line.
