My first step was to make 4 ideas on one page because I needed somewhere to start off.  Then, I needed to try out different medias to see which one I wanted to use. Next, I chose one of the ideations I made, and made them into a full sized rough draft so I could try out different medias, and trace the design onto my final draft. Then, I traced my rough draft onto a blank sheet of paper over a light table, chose my final colors and medias, and made my final draft! The best part of this assignment for me was to make the dripping part of my name because I learned about beads, and how shaking the paper would make the bead into a drop, forming a drip. I also learned that I could manipulate the paint in a way so I could make the drips end in the middle, looking like this is happening in front of you. The most challenging part about this assignment was recovering from my mistakes because there was a red splotch that happened by accident, and I had to ma...

What is 3/4 divided by 1/8? You need to know how to read every question before you start any math problem because that is where you start off your math thinking, and understanding. You can read this question as "How many groups of 1/8 go into 3/4?". An easy way to solve this is by converting 3/4 to 6/8, then you know that 1/8 goes into 6/8 6 times. The way you solve this problem using reciprocals is to turn the second number upside down meaning you would turn 1/8 to 8/1 and then change the division to a multiplication sign and do the problem like a fraction multiplication problem. Multiply the numerators, then the denominators, and change the improper fraction (if it is) back to a proper fraction or mixed number.  → This model shows how many times 1.8 goes into 3/4 of a whole. The bar is broken up into quarters and eighths. Then I counted the amount of 1/8 in 3/4 of a whole.  ↓

How might you create an interactive exhibit that will encourage young visitors to care about the civilizations of Ancient Egypt? My interactive exhibit is for young visitors to find as many treasures as they can in the box, like Howard Carter did, and will learn that there were over 5, 000 treasures buried with King Tutankhamen, and many other facts. I want them to feel like they are having fun, but learning at the same time. 1) I feel like I helped solve problems a lot and I tried to participate a lot and give suggestions for how to solve this problem. 2) I started of with wanting to have my artifact represent the pharaoh, because I like the fact that my artifact would be like the ruler, and my group was fine with that. I started of with an old shoe box, painted it gold, painted on the bottom half, cut a cardboard headdress, and then made all of my clay elements (the things bulging out), and glued them down with some gold paint. I then found things that could conceal the treasur...

Reflection: I think I projected my voice well because ti was audible, and could be heard. I can tell that I used my diaphragm because my voice sounds clearer than it usually is, and that is why I could tell this. I would really like to comment on my facial expressions, but it was hard for me to see my face because of the lighting and camera. I did see a bit of my face, and when I could see my face, they matched the characteristics of my character, and the scene. My voice had lots of variety because when there was a dramatic scene, like at the end, my voice sounded scared and faulty, whereas in the beginning, I was trying to scare people and my voice sounded like a tough girl. I am really proud of my whole group because we pulled everything that we wanted to pull off, and it all came out better than we expected. One thing I would change is how the voice could blend in together and it could sound more like a real conversation going on. My number before was 8. 5, and I think I am no...

When is it more useful to use fraction or decimal notation?  Give examples to justify your answer. It is more useful to use a fraction if the question is talking about parts. It is more useful to use decimal notation if the question is talking about wholes with easy to work with numbers, like 10, 100, 1, 000, etc. Ex. Bob had 121 pizza slices, and ten friends to share them with, including himself. How many slices should each person get?      2. When comparing two positive whole numbers with different numbers of digits, such as 115 and 37, the one with more digits is greater.  Does this rule work for comparing decimals?  Give examples to justify your answer. No, because there can be a 3 digits in one number, like 1. 22, while another number only has 2 digits, like 5. 9. The second number is greater than the first number, even thought it has a less amount of digits.

You know how to compare fractions using cross products, LCD, and logical reasoning. When is it better to use one method over another? It's better to use on way over the other because it will take less time. Logical Reasoning: If one fraction is greater the half, and the other isn't, it would be better to use logical reasoning than the other methods because if you find the LCD, it will take longer to find the answer. LCD: If there are weird fractions that don't divide well, you should find the LCD of the two fractions because it will be easier to find out the LCD than anything. Cross Products: If the numerators don't divide well with the denominators, you should just multiply the numbers because it's very quick. It's best if the numbers are small.

Question 1 Draw a colored sketch of your submarine model in the  floating ,  sinking  or  neutrally buoyant  position. Take a photo of your sketch and insert the photo below the title of your blog entry. You could also do your drawing use a digital drawing tool if you like.  Question 2 Part of the design process, is to think of design ideas to try and then test to see how those design ideas actually work.  Describe any design ideas that you had which  did not  work as expected.   I thought that putting a pack of rocks around the bottle would make it sink, but it didn't. I thought about blowing a balloon to make it float, and that didn't work. Describe any design ideas that you had which  did  work as expected.  I thought that making holes would allow water to come in and it did. Blowing into the tube worked, and using clay to hold the tube in also worked. Question 3 Describe at least two...
