__3 in 1__

__Introduction:__ The reason for this invention is because, when my dad and I are anchored in the boat, in current’s or in high tides, the motor can change direction’s. This puts us off balance and either makes us nearly fall out of the boat or lose some fishing gear. This is why we are inventing a 3 in 1 motor stabilizer to stop this, so it will keep the motor straight. And also have a bait tray and a sinker holder.

__Aim:__ Our aim is to make a stabilizer for a boat motor to make it stay straight in currents. This will ensure the boat doesn’t turn and that no one will need to hold the motor when your in the water.

__Research:__ When we began our research for this invention, we looked through many websites to see if any one in the world had invented our idea. We were pleased to see that our invention doesn’t exist yet. However, they have a stabilizer for larger boats that just go on the motor and don’t come off easily. Shown Below are some websites of other boating Inventions.

__Needs Assessment:__ We conducted a little survey among our friends and classmates to see if they would buy 3 in 1 if it was invented. A summary of the results are below and the details are in my questionnaire in our log book.

__Criteria:__ • It needs to be easy to move around • It needs to be easy to clean • It needs to be cheap to manufacture • It needs to be rust proof • It needs to be easy to lift • It needs to be able to hold weight • It needs to be safe for humans • It needs to be built so it want break

__Prototypes:__

__Final Prototype:__

__Final Prototype:__ My final Prototype has the following


 * Bait tray
 * Sinker holder
 * Made out of steel
 * Wooden chopping board
 * Steel stabilizer
 * Water proof
 * Rust proof
 * Stronger than wood

__Visual Changes:__ This design you see in front of you ....... Is the 3 in 1 witch is a motor stabilizer and a sinker tray and a bait tray for in the boat.

could be made of ......... The first prototype was made of wood but it had no bait tray and no sinker holder. My second prototype is out also wood but it has thew bait tray and also has the sinker holder. My finale prototype is made out of steel and also has an bait tray and also a sinker holder and also the bait tray has a wood in it for the knife to keep it in excellent conduction.

__Features of it:__


 * **Good Points** || **Improvements Needed** ||
 * It keeps the motor strait || Needs to hold equipment ||
 * Holds equipment || Needs to last ||
 * Can last Trough wet weather || Needs to be tough ||


 * **Good Points** || **Improvements Needed** ||

__Prototype 1:__ (Wood) Firstly I needed to do up a plan on what my design for (name of Invention ) looked like. So after I did my basic concept drawing I then showed it to my dad to get advise on what he thought. His advise was really helpful he said why don't you con-band three ideas into one

__Final Design:__ (Wood) Firstly I recapped on my prototype and what feedback I had got and what I should had to my final design.

__Prototype 1:__ (Steel) Firstly I needed to do up a plan on what my design would look like my wood design but there is more excusers with it e.g: Made of steel,Bait tray,Sinker holder,and steel stabilizer for the motor.

__Final Design:__ (Steel) Firstly I recapped on making it stronger and water proof and long lasting also I but a peace of wood in to keep knife sharp and not blunt from the bait board.

__Marketing__

The key things to look for is cost, construction materials, weights and size for freight, visual look and function. I see this invention being made out of steel and wood and maybe plastic to meet all criteria. I would expect to purchase this finished product at one of the following •Powerboat engineering • • •

The Price for (3 in 1) could range at stores from anywhere from $150.00 to $ dollars.

•Television advertising
 * Internet
 * News Papers and Magazines
 * Radio

In the marking I phoned .... company’s in..... Powerboat engineering and services Tauranga.

Company one said ....... That they will buy this invention for $150.00 dollars and it would be made out of steel and wood.

Company two said .....

Aim: To find out what the five substances were.

Hypothesis: A-Cream Of Tarter B-Salt C-Cornflour D-Baking Soda E-Icing Sugar

method: using the water and baking soda to reveal what substance it is. iodine and litmus paper to show what it was

Results: A-Cornflour B-Salt C-Baking Soda D-Icing Sugar <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">E-Cream Of Tarter
