tuseday

hello....
in the morning we split up into 2 groups and we set up the dumpy level outside to plot the rise and fall around the tafe campus.
we had a starting point called the dadum and 15 other plot points around the campus in a full circut. after completing the circut using the dumpy level we ended up being 300mm out from the starting dadum point, which wasnt really that great because the other group were olny 45mm out from there starting point.
when we got back to class we completed a graph on our results, it was very intersting to see it on paper and much easier 4 me to understand.

monday

today was the first day bak 4 a new year at tafe.
we did a fair bit today firstly we went to the computers to research leveling and all different types of leveling,
we had to choose one type of leveling and had to complete a prestation on it,
i choose a water level and found this type of leveling very interesting , i also learnt somethink i didnt know to much about.
after we completed our prestations we went outside and learnt how to set up and use a dumpy level also a lazer level. it was great . .
