The production Line!

During the past few weeks, we have been researching the production line. We started off the project by looking at where the production line was created, followed by why the production line was so successful and why it is used in so many businesses today! For our task, we had to create a presentation teaching people everything about the production line.

Opportunity Cost!

Today in business studies we are looking at scarcity. One of the topics that come under scarcity is opportunity cost. For this task, we had to create a Powtoon explaining a story and what opportunity cost is.  The story is about Sarah having 1 hour of free time before she has to go to bed. She then has three options, she can bake a cake, read a book, or she can play a game. She then decides that her first choice would be to play a game, and her second being reading a book. Here is my powtoon!

Kiwi Ingenuity

How does kiwi ingenuity benefit New Zealand as a nation?

New Zealand benefits from Kiwi ingenuity by using what we have around us and used our problem-solving skills to use what we already had in the country. This meant that new Zealand as a nation cut a lot of costs and had more money to spend on things that we needed, for example, security, health, Safer Roads. Kiwi ingenuity also helps us buy attracting tourists to the country and buying from our businesses. The money that the businesses earn gets taxed and goes to the government where they spend it on hospitals, public bathrooms, and keeping our environment clean, which attracts more tourists. 

Kiwi Ingenuity

For the past week, we have been focusing on looking at kiwi ingenuity. We first drew a picture of we picture as a "Kiwi Bloke." Afterward, we looked at kiwi inventions and how they were an example of ingenuity. 

What is Most Beneficial?

I believe that the most beneficial invention was outdoor clothing and gear. Outdoor gear is something that is used a huge amount to this day. It makes it easier and more efficient when you’re outdoors. For example, the backpack spreads the weight out so that if you’re carrying a backpack for a long period of time you’re back and shoulders don’t get sore. 

What is the least beneficial?

I think that the least beneficial invention was the van bus. I don’t see the point in having a boat in the shape of a van when you can just get a regular boat that is probably cheaper to run and faster.

Two examples of kiwi ingenuity that would most likely capture the imagination of other countries.  

The Waterslide  & Outdoor Gear

Alexander Graham Bell

The past lessons we have been looking at enterprising business people, one of the tasks was creating a slideshow on an enterprising person of our choice. I chose to research about Alexander Graham Bell who was the first person to create the telephone.
