How to work out volume

 What do we mean by 'volume'? An amount of space a three dimensional (3D) shape is taking up

How do we measure it? volume = area (base) x height

[Is there a conversion to litres?] yes, it is: 1 litre of water is equal to 1,000 cubic metres of water

Volume of  a rectangle = Length x width x height

Volume of a cylinder = 𝝅 r squared h

Volume of a prism 0.5 x b x a x h

Blog 1: Art

1: Appropriation is when something is taken advantage of or has been copied with slight changes to an artwork or to a movie of some sort. A bunch of people creating stuff but changing little to nothing about it to make it 'theirs'. if art is valued for its uniqueness but appropriation is about copying why do we value art that is appropriation? it could be because there isn't an original or people just want to see it in different colour or they just copy it for money and to sell it to unfortunate people that think that's the original. it could be that people want to create copies and copies and copies of it to mass produce it.

Area Of Basic Shapes

 

Area of a square = W:10cm L:20cm 10cm x 20cm = 200cm Area  

Area of a triangle = B:12m H:12m 1/2 of 12m = 6m x 12m = 76

Area of a circle = 𝜋 or 22/7 or 3.142 R: 33m 33m x 3.142 = 103.686m

Title this something that catches their eyes

This week I have been reading a book called Clash by Colin Mulhern its about a story of two boys changing to each others perspective on whats happening around. 

Why is the text written the way it is?: Because there is two sides of the  story, one about a normal school boy called Kyle that is a great artist and another about a school boy called Alex that has problems with his farther and does illegal cage fighting and his farther bets on him, he may have stole one of Kyle's art because he liked it.

What questions about itself does not raise?: There is a fighting ring where people go to fight, since it is illegal its at a hidden location like a warhouse or abondoned docks (where it is) and they go there to bet on who will win and who will lose.

Tsunami Experiments

1. How do earthquakes cause tsunamis? Vibrations from the earthquakes cause tsunamis because the waves go away from the vibrations. Earthquakes create tsunamis from Extreme tidal waves and From starting these waves the Higher Magnitude of earthquake is gaining the size of the tide. The tide will get larger and larger until it flows over and hits the beach. Some earthquakes 

2. How is tidal waves different from tsunamis? Tidal waves are caused by wind when tsunamis are caused mostly by earthquakes

Treaty thing for social studies

 Its not that hard to create a treaty for the class, if people listen to you and take turns. I thought we would do this a the beginning of the year because we only have five weeks of school left and we just basically wasted our time doing this.
