https://www.claude-monet.com/Do you know how much time you spend listening to music on your MP3 device? Do you
turn it up so loud you can’t hear any outside noise? Well, you may be doing more harm
than good!
MP3 players are a great source of entertainment, but they are also the cause of serious
hearing problems for young people today. Research has found that young people are more
likely to play their music too loud, which can result in hearing loss later in life.
Several factors combine to make these devices a hazard to your hearing. The ear pieces are
designed to fit firmly in the listener’s ear canal, allowing outside noise to be eliminated.
This means that the music is pumped directly into the ear, potentially causing permanent
damage. Another factor is the length of time that young people are spending listening to
music on their MP3 players. Due to the long battery life and ability to load such a large
number of songs, people can spend hours listening to music that is being streamed direct-
ly into their ear drums.
Sound is measured using decibels (dB). People speaking normally in a conversation would
generally be measured at around 60dB. Busy city traffic could be measured at 85 dB, whilst
a hairdryer is generally around 95dB. MP3 players at their loudest can range from 105dB to
130dB. That’s about the same as a chainsaw or an ambulance siren. Worryingly, it’s not only
prolonged exposure to this noise level that can cause damage, but as little as 30 seconds
spent listening can cause permanent damage to your hearing.
How to reduce your risk of hearing loss
When you are listening to music on your MP3 player, ask someone around you if they can
hear your music. If they can – it’s too loud! This is one of the easiest ways to identify that
you are putting your hearing at risk and that you need to turn it down.
Another way to reduce your risk is to limit the amount of time that you spend listening to
music on your MP3 player. If you are at home, take your earphones out and listen to your
music through your computer or stereo.
You should also try to avoid using your MP3 player when you are in a place that is
already rather noisy. Public transport, areas with lots of people talking or whilst using
loud machinery, such as the lawnmower, will lead to you having to turn your music
up even louder to hear over the outside noise.
Parents taking control
With the help of the ever increasing advancements in technology today,
parents are able to take control of their children’s iPods and lock the volume
settings so their children are not able to listen to it above 100dBs. They can
even lock you out of your iPod, so you can’t go in and change the settings
yourself!
So next time you are listening to your MP3 player, check the volume
you have set it on… is it too loud?MP3 Players and Your Hearing

Answers
Before Reading
1. An MP3 Player is a portable device for playing MP3s or other digital audio files.
2. (Answers may vary.) MP3 Players are used to listen to music anywhere.
3. The major cause of hearing loss is exposure to excessive noise. Hearing loss can also be acquired through
illness, accident, exposure to certain drugs and chemicals, or as part of the normal ageing process.
4. (Answers may vary). Protecting your hearing is important because we use speaking and listening as the
predominate means of communication.
5. This is an informational text because it is designed to inform or instruct the reader.
During Reading
Sound is measured in decibles (dB).
People can spend hours listening to their MP3 players because they have a long battery life and the
ability to store a large number of songs.
(Answers will vary) Do you know you may be causing damage to your hearing when you listen to your
MP3 Player? How loud do you listen to the music on your MP3 Player? Can you hear people talking
around you when you are listening to music on your MP3 Player?
Conversation (60 dB), busy city traffic (85 dB), hairdryer (95 dB), MP3 Players, Ambulance siren and
chainsaw (105 - 130 dB).
The factors that combine to make MP3 Players a hazard to young people’s hearing are the design of the
ear pieces that fit firmly in the listener’s ear canal, pumping music directly into the ear. Another factor is
the time that young people spend listening to MP3 Players due to their long battery life and the large
number of songs they can store. The fact that the volume on MP3 Players can be turned up so high, also
acts as a hazard to young people’s hearing.
Some of the ways you can reduce your risk of hearing loss when listening to an MP3 Player is asking
someone else if they can hear your music (so you know if it is too loud), limit the amount of time you
spending listening to your MP3 Player and to avoid using your MP3 Player when you are in a place that is
already noisy.
People turn their music up too loud to hear it over outside noise such as people talking around them or
loud machinery.
Yes, you could surmise that over the head headphones are better for you then ear pieces because they
do not sit firmly in the ear canal which streams music directly into the ear. They may also cancel out more
outside noise by covering the whole ear which means the music does not need to be up too loud.
After Reading
1. (Answers may vary). No, because our MP3 Player is our property and parents or carers do not have the
right to change the setting without our permission.
Yes, because they care about us and they are trying to protect our hearing for later in life.
2. Some other ways people can reduce their risk of hearing loss is to use ear plugs when around loud
machinery or devices, not to stand too close to speakers or loud machinery and to be careful when using
chemicals or particular products.
3. (Answers may vary). Students need to ensure they justify their answer using information from the text.
4. (Answers may vary). Students need to ensure they justify their answer using information from the text.

Angles on a Straight Line
We’re going to recap some information we should know about angles.
An angle is the space between two intersecting lines.
We measure angles in degrees.
The amount that one line has moved from the original line, while still touching at one point, is called the turn
(example below)
The amount that one
One line ‘turns’ away from

the other, but still connect

this in degrees.Angles on a Straight Line
If this line continued to turn all the way over until it doubles the line creating a straight line. And as we should
remember, a straight angle is 1800.
If we took that line, and added another one to it, we would be splitting up the angle into two different angles.
But together, these two angles would add up to 1800.
If we added a horizontal line in the middle, we have created two right angles. Two angles that are 900 each.
ao b0 ao b0
900 + 900 = 1800 a0 + b0 = 1800 Even if we move the line this number
sentence is still true a0 + b0 = 1800Angles on a Straight Line
If ao = 120o, then what would bo equal?
From the previous slide we know that ao + bo = 180o. ao b0
So 120o + bo = 180o. Through commutative property we therefore know that 180o - 120o = bo.
bo = 60o
75o b0 150o a0 47o b0
180o - 75o = 1050 180o - 150o = 300 180o - 47o = 1330Angles on a Straight Line
If we add another line, the rule still applies.
b0 c0
If we add the angles together, the total will be 180o i.e. ao + bo + co = 180o ao
That means that 180o - ao - bo = co
70o 30o 450
75 o
c 0
30 0 ao 30 0 450
180o - 75 - 70o = c0 180o - 30o - 300 = ao 180o - 45o 45o - 30o = bo
bo = 60oAngles on a Straight Line

Writing a Complication
A Complication is when a problem or a dilemma disrupts the normal life or comfort of the characters
and sets off a sequence of interesting events.
The complication, often in the form of an obstacle (physical or emotional) that needs to be overcome,
creates tension or excitement for the reader of the story and usually needs a response from the main
character.

Vertically Opposite Angles
We know that angles on a straight line equal 180°. SO if we look at the diagram below we know a + b = 180°
a b
If we extend the diagonal line slightly we have two lines that both have angles that equal 180°. Let’s imagine
that a = 140° therefore b = 40°. /
If we look at the angled line, a and c together is an angle on a straight line…which equals 180°.
If A = 140° then C must equal 40°. This means that B and C both equal 40°, so therefore B = C.
When angles are in this position to each other, they are called vertically opposite angles.
All vertically opposite angles are equal.
a b
b is vertically opposite to c.
cVertically Opposite Angles
From the previous slide we know that a + b = 180o and that a + c = 180o
We also know that b = c because they are vertically opposite to each other.
Therefore, a = d because they are also vertically opposite

18Mechanica ‘A Brief History’ -Each paragraph has important information about Liberty Crisp. Please summarise each paragraph in point form. -Using this information please complete the Liberty Crisp Character Analysis template. Liberty Crisp was born in 2235 to the famed scientific couple Herbert and Alexandra Crisp. As a young child she had always shown remarkably advanced intelligence, reading by the age of three and taking part in her parents' scientific research by the age of six. When Liberty was eight her mother arranged an excursion to the Natural History Museum of Greater Europe to see — what was believed to be — the last butterfly in existence. This experience deeply moved the young Miss Crisp. •
Liberty became fascinated by Mechanica, spending many hours devouring any information she could find. When Liberty was nine years old her mother was killed during a Mechanica attack on London. Grief-stricken, Herbert Crisp relocated with his daughter to Saraswati. There she would spend the next five years continuing her studies under the tutelage of Reginald P. Prescott, alongside two other students, Lili and Sasha Maru. As Herbert retreated into his world of science, Liberty was left to the company of her teacher and the Maru children. • In 2250, soon after Liberty's 15th birthday, the Steel Wall Defence System that protected Saraswati completely failed and allowed a fierce attack by wild Mechanica to fall on the small settlement. Through the chaos of the battle, Liberty led Prescott, the Maru children and a wounded Militia guard named Bastien to a supply boat called the HMS Beagle. After a final struggle in which Liberty fought off attacking Mechanica, the small band of survivors escaped as Saraswati burned. Sadly, Liberty's father could not be saved. •
The following pages include a brief history, facts and illustrations of the Mechanica species encountered by Miss Liberty Crisp during her famous journey through the Orient in 2250. A more detailed description of this and other journeys into the world of Mechanica that Liberty Crisp undertook can be found in the Mechanica Chronicles. There is also a brief study of Chen Su's influence in the development of the original Mechanica prototypes and how that design would provide the blueprints for the modern day Mechanica. Many of the variants contained in this volume no longer exist today, having been quickly replaced by increasingly dangerous Mechanica that have evolved over the last 60 years. •

KING DRAGONFLY
This very rare and damaged example of a King Dragonfly was
discovered in the jungles of the Philippines Archipelago in 2203.
It is one of the first examples of Mechanica and is housed today in
the London Museum of Unnatural History. Powered by a simple S90 atomic drive
it is beautiful in its simplicity. Evolving from the Dutch-designed 4800 series of
dragonflies, one can see it has divested itself of the original pulse rockets in favour of
the more elegant direct piston control system illustrated.
Also to be noted is the refinement of the wing structure. This allows the creature,
through sensors built directly into the wing structure, to detect threats at longer
distances and navigate its environment with greater accuracy. These Mechanica are
still reportedly seen in all twelve of the Eastern provinces to this day, with some
sighting creatures over 50cm wide. This, however, remains the only collected example.

Mechanica has adapted to the harsh environment of the Mongolian
Steppe. Gathering energy from the limited available sunlight through
its wings, the Papilo Factum in Sina is surprisingly fast and powerful, reaching speeds
of up to 400kph. The butterfuly is still quite common today in parts of the Eastern
Provinces and considered harmless to humans.
On her voyage through the Orient, Liberty Crisp saw many of these beautiful
Mechanica passing high above The HMS Beagle. During a particularly fierce typhoon in
the South China Sea one night, a swarm of Papilo Factum in Sina sought refuge on the
bow of the boat. The light generated by the thousands of glowing solar reactors was
enough to bathe the entire ship in a beautiful orange glow. Once the sun rose the next
morning, the butterflies recharged and peacefully flittered away.

ELECTRIC BLACKBIRD
Not all Mechanica have evolved successfully. Inherent flaws are often
amplified as species develop in the wild. This blackbird is a hybrid of
the Childress B4 Sparrow and the Speyer Corp Electric Blackbird and
illustrates a mismatch in technology. The smaller Childress fusion
power plant is simply not powerful enough to carry the heavier Speyer framework.
Many species that have developed in the wild have become, over time, no longer
tenable. In an ironic nod to Darwin’s idea of ‘survival of the fittest’, these Mechanica
were eventually overtaken by more successful variants and salvaged for parts.
Liberty discovered this rare example of failed Mechanica on one of the many
collecting trips she took with her father before the attack on Saraswati. She would go
on to write at length about these failed evolutions and what we can learn from them.
