This is our composite shape.

The measurements of the small rectangle is 4 by 3 by 18
12576233_999707953420567_1444577170_n
The measurement of the large rectangle is 7 by 7 by 25
This is the front of our large rectangle and its the same on the other side. The measurements for this side is 7 time 7 so you multiply the two to get 49,but then you multiply 49 by 2 because there is 2 of the same sides. Which is 98cm2
This is the top of the large rectangle and the measurements of the top is 7 by 25. 25 by 7 is 175 and since there are 4 other sides that are the same you can times 175 by 4 to get 700. So in total this shape's surface area is 798cm2
This is the top of the large rectangle and the measurements of the top is 7 by 25. 25 by 7 is 175 and since there are 4 other sides that are the same you can times 175 by 4 to get 700. So in total this shape’s surface area is 798cm2
The measurements of the front of this smaller rectangle is 4 by 3. 3x4 is 12 and since there are 2 side you times this by two. 24!
The measurements of the front of this smaller rectangle is 4 by 3. 3×4 is 12 and since there are 2 side you times this by two. 24cm2!
This side of this small rectangle measurements is 4 by 18. It the answer is 72 and 72x2 is 177cm2
This side of this small rectangle measurements is 4 by 18. It the answer is 72 and 72×2 is 144cm2
The top and bottom of this shapes measurements are 4 by 18. 4 times
The top and bottom of this shapes measurements are 3 by 18. 3×18 is 54 and 54×2 is 108cm2. In total this shape is 24+144+108 is 276cm2. Since the top of this shape is on the bottom of the large rectangle you add the large rectangle to the small to get 798+276=1,074 and now you just subtract the top and the bottom of the small rectangle because of the space in between the both shapes. So 1,074-108=966cm2. The total surface area for the whole shape is 966cm2

“The Life of a Genetic Mutation” Color Blindness

Leave a comment

Part 1:

I am a little X chromosome inside Pablo. He is a eight year old kid who has Red-Green color blindness. Pablo’s dad was a carrier ,but he never developed color blindness.This mutation is usually hereditary.  bI was a X chromosome that came from his father. I am a X chromosome that affected Pablo’s red and green cone cells in his eyes that affect the way Pablo looks at those colors. This type of color blindness is called Deuteronomy. There are a bunch of types.Pablo’s sister Tasha however didn’t get it. This is because males have higher chance of develop color blindness because males only have one X chromosome which of it gets damage it gets damaged for good. For a female they have 2 so if one gets damaged the other one can replace it. Pablo has a lot of problems when it comes to subjects in school like in art. He has a lot of difficulties figuring out what color is red, green, yellow, orange and more. He can get very frustrated. On the bright side since his sense of vision is bad his other senses get a big boost. Like he likes smelling fresh laundry, roses and he knows when food is made. He also has really good vision in the dark! And the last time we visited the doctors they talked about lenses that would correct his visions so I think life looking out for this kid!

Part 2:

I thought of all these questions: What is color blindness? How is it caused? What colors are see able? Is there different types? How does it affect person? How is it passed down? Is there a treatment? I used various sources like Google, Youtube, Google Scholar and i used very little of Wikipedia. I first googled “color blindness” to get the jist of it. I wanted to know what i was researching. I found lots of sites from Google and Google Scholar  that helped the the information part of the project. And to get an understanding of what it may feel like to be color blind I watched some videos on Youtube which helped a lot. The only part of Wikipedia i used was for the different types of color blindness. I verified it by looking at all the websites I used to see if all the new information was true. Like of a fact was on all the sites i would know it had to be true. Or like of there was a fact that was only on one like source i would have included that. I really think I enjoyed this project (and I’n not saying that to get higher marks)  because of the new things I learn about this topic. I would think that the only thing I could of done better was to come up with at more detailed story!

“Taming of the Shrew” Stop Motion Induction Scene Project

6 Comments

The stop motion project was contrived by the directors Aaron Quilapio: the editor, Jan Luis Regacho: the photographer, and Timothy Harrison: the supplier. The project represents the induction scene and the beginning of the inset of a play, “Taming of the Shrew” by William Shakespeare. The induction of this project was shown to the audience in the beginning. The induction starts when Sly is intoxicated and continues to ignore the hostess’ threats until he passed out. The inset was produced to the audience near the end of the project where Sly and the page watch as the players do their performance. The directors used Legos to contrive several platforms and props such as the stage floor and the king’s bed. There are plenty of downsides upon making this project such as the amount of frames needed to produce this masterpiece which approximately took more than 300 frames and the amount of precision and accuracy needed to make such project is exorbitantly colossal which was a very difficult task that this group had to face. The group has learned a great quantity of information about this project such as encountering and using new apps such as PicPac and Video Editor. The project has also taught the group that performing tasks such as this could be done easier through cooperation.
