The design cycle is used in schools which use the MYP program. The design cycle has for parts and each one is different from the other. The first part is Investigating were you find the problem of the project and check the other things about it. The second part is plan. In plan you have to find the solution to the problem or you can make a solution to the problem. In the third part create you follow the plan, use appropriate techniques and equipment, and create the solution.

Tornadoes


A tornado is a violently rotating column of air, in contact with the ground, either pendant from a cumuli form cloud or underneath a cumuli form cloud. It is usually seen as a funnel cloud and a tornado touches both the floor and the surface of the cloud. Its name comes from a Spanish word and a Latin word.

Task


There are two types of communication they are synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous is when two communications work at the same time ans asynchronous is when a single communication is working by itself. A phone is a synchronous communication because you can only talk to more than one person at the same time. Anothr type of synchronous is a Msn messanger is an because three people can talk all at once. We use this for telling the news and talking to each other. We can even tell other people about emergences and thing s like that.



A type of asynchronous is email because you usually send the mail to one person and it is used in business or work like banking. We use it for work or when you want to talk to someone one on one and other things that relate to it.





Mac, Windows Vista, Windows XP, keyboards, mouse, moniter, and PC.










Investigation about sites


At fast cars UK I like the way the way they organized the site and that they put pictures for each paragraph and the way they went straight to the point. Also I the text, layout, and color scheme were all good. Compared to other sites the features are the same. The buttons are better and the color was better an other sites I've seen. This is an example of a good website


Natural Disasters are disasters caused by nature tornadoes, and earthquakes. These disasters are very harmful and may kill people. They don't happen alot but must be treated correctly or something bad will happen.













This is an example of a bad site. It is called hrodc and it is bad because the information is in one big page with no picture and the color scheme and it is not good. Also it has lots of buttons which I can use in my website when I make it. It has good grammer and spelling.

Why is communication so important during an emergency


It is important because it can save human lives for example by telling them an earthquake is headed to their country so they will be prepared or they can move to a different country. The communication devices for this EMERGENCY is cell phone, phone, black berry.



During the Katrina hurricane Katrina used satellite communications.









During an EMERGENCY it is essential to tell which disaster is headed for the country and if you know any advice to help survive the earthquake then tell the people.


Information needed to know before the disaster is what is the disaster. What can we do to protect ourselves and when is it coming and going.



They are many ways you can communicate on the computer. Some of them are msn messenger, yahoo messenger, sykpe, and other chat boxes.
