Desmos Portrait Math 10FPC20XX

DESMOS PORTRAIT LINK

Which equations did you use for each body part? How did you move them around and change their shape?

The class had a list of various equations at the beginning, such as linear, quadratic, cubic, square root, circle, and reciprocal functions. They each had their own shape and based on which body part it best belongs to, I used the specific equation. I used the circle equation for my eyes and my head. As for my eyebrows, mouth, and nose, I used the square root function. The quadratic equation/parabola is used for the hair. I used the linear equation to do arms, body, legs. To move them around and change their shape I had to try which equation would fit.

Did you have any challenges? Any aha moments?

During the process, there was a lot of trial and error but in the end, I got the equation I wanted for my portrait. One of my challenges was flipping one point to another quadrant was my biggest one. I found out in the midst of my project that you needed to change the positives and negatives in the equation, but I wasn’t entirely sure which ones. The “aha” moments are when I finally learned how to flip the equation to the other quadrant. 

Did you get help? Did you use any strategies?

I would ask classmates and the peer tutor for help and when that didn’t help I asked the teacher when I had the most difficulty. When we first started was the hardest because I wasn’t familiar with the equations then I got used to doing it.  My strategies were to see what I did in one of my original such as the eyes equation then made some tweaks to make the eye move to the other quadrant.

What did this assignment help you understand about functions, relations, and their graphs?

This assignment helped me understand how one slightest move can change the whole equation and that meant it had to be precise. The task even taught me ways to use to my benefit the relations and functions so that I could build an art piece at the end.

Energy Production and Information Fluency

Wind Energy


Benefits:

 Wind power is a spotless fuel source. Wind energy doesn’t contaminate the air like force plants that depend on the burning of non-renewable energy sources, for example, coal or gaseous petrol. Wind turbines don’t create barometrical outflows that cause corrosive downpour or nursery gasses.

→ Boundless, free, inexhaustible asset (the wind itself), economic value, upkeep cost, and position of wind harvesting facilities. Most importantly, the wind is a boundless, free, inexhaustible asset.

→ Wind power is profitable.

→ It’s a clean fuel source.

→ A wind turbine, or on the other hand alluded to as a wind energy converter, is a gadget that changes over the wind’s motor energy into electrical energy.

benefits: reference

Challenges:

Unpredictable Wind Patterns

For the satisfactory capacity to be produced, there should be a consistent breeze blowing over a long term of time. Nonetheless, being that wind designs can’t generally be anticipated, this makes it hard to collect enough power in certain areas.

→ Loud Noise 

↪ When turbines are running they make a lot of noise and can be very distracting to the people who are living near them. They likewise modify the scene of a zone, which could negatively affect the encompassing networks.

→Turbine sharp edges could harm wild animals 

Birds have been murdered by flying into turning turbine cutting edges. The majority of these issues have been settled or significantly diminished through the mechanical turn of events or by appropriately siting wind plants.

challenges: reference

 

Issues:

→ Wind Turbines Create Visual Pollution

→The Wind Fluctuates. Wind energy has a comparative disadvantage to sun-powered energy  in that it isn’t consistent

→ Wind turbines are lightning magnets and strikes on these tall, turning structures can cause noteworthy harm. Sharp edges detonate generators and control framework hardware fry.

issues: reference

 

 

My questions:

What is Wind Turbine?

✰ Wind turbines work on a straightforward rule. The energy in the wind turns a few propeller-like edges around a rotor. The rotor is associated with the fundamental shaft, which turns a generator to make power. (I put a picture for reference on how they look like)

How big are Wind Turbines? 

Wind turbines arrive in an assortment of sizes that can serve various needs. The biggest edge range can be bigger than the length of a football field and stand more than 20 stories high. This size of a turbine can create enough capacity to deliver power for upwards of 1,400 homes.

What Are Wind Turbines Made Of?

✰ Rotor (the part that rotates in the wind)
✰ Tower
✰ Electrical Generator
✰ Speed-Control System

Recommendations for Justin Trudeau 

Wind energy is very important because of its wellspring of the sustainable power source. It doesn’t defile, it is endless and decreases the utilization of non-renewable energy sources, which are the inception of nursery gasses that cause a dangerous atmospheric deviation. Wind energy does not generate waste or contaminate water an extremely important factor given the scarcity of water. Wind turbines can be a little pricey but useful for the country that we live in. Wind (or wind turbines) creates jobs, this is very needed especially in the time that we are living where almost half of the population has lost their jobs due to the virus but you could help people that are unemployed by providing the tools for them to start a new job. Overall wind energy would benefit everyone.

A Fresh Look at the Periodic table

1. DEFINE and DISCOVER 

The problems:

✰ Hard to memorize

✰ Hard to read

✰Not enough color, making students unmotivated to use the periodic table.

✰ Looks bland

The challenges:

✰ Changing the periodic table, keeping in mind the elements and symbols

✰ The fact that elements can change from solid, liquid and gas. This may cause problems when color-coding.

✰ Filing the spaces when moving the elements around the table

2.DREAM

Big Ideas

o   Alphabetical order

o   A different shape

o   Keep the color-coding technique

o   Colour coding gas, liquid, and solids.

o   Putting metals that are on the bottom with other metals on top, then putting the non-metals on the bottom

What info does the periodic table tell us?

o   It tells us about the element (metal/non-metal, atomic number)

0 It has the atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element, which tells you the number of electrons.

3.DESIGN and DELIVER 

We planned to make a cube that had the periodic table elements in it. Then we decided to color coordinate the elements based on if they were liquid, solid or gas and made a legend. Here’s the finished product:

Video of our periodic cube

4.DEBRIEF

When we were making our cube there were some challenges in the way because at one point we were missing some elements for solids then we found them and fixed the problem.

Community Connections- Karla Flamenco

(Harbans interview from Aryzta)

A few weeks ago I decided to interview my mom’s close friend and co-worker at Aryzta. I wanted to interview Harbans because she is a  very hard working woman and she is great at what she has done. I would like to be a baker because I am very passionate about the art of how I can design my food and sell it and see how I can make a person’s day with my art on a  piece that I made from scratch.  When I first got this project the first person that came to mind was my friend’s mom from work Harbans. Then I emailed her the questions for her to answer. I learned about the responsibilities that it takes to be in her position at work.  Asking these questions and getting a response gave me a better insight into what I want to become once I graduate out of school. Here are the things that Harbans said:

1. Why are you passionate about your job?

I get along with a lot of my co-workers, helping with the task ahead and be satisfied at the end of the day with the work that I did during the day. I also love the baking part of my job because of the beautiful creation I make for people.

2. What obstacles have you faced to get you where you are today? 

English was my second language so that was a big obstacle when I first started working at Aryzta I also had to learn how to read but it’s been 24 years and I got the hang of it. ☺︎

3. What advice would you pass on to someone interested in what you are doing?

I would tell them to be humble, patient and be kind to one another. You need to be very patient when it comes to my job because when I bake it takes a long time for the product to get fully cooked and ready to eat especially when the ingredients are different than usual and sometimes hard to work with.

4. Would you be open to further contact for Riverside students and if so, how can someone contact you?

I would love to have other students from Riverside contact me here’s my info https://www.aryzta.com/.

5. Did you have any outside help/advice from others when choosing your career?

Yes, I did have help from my friend Silvia (Karla’s mom) she helped me when I first started working at Aryzta.

6. What schooling did you have to do to get where u are today? 

I went to BCIT to get where I am today I did a lot of studying and hard work to get where I am today.
