In this activity, we had cut an orange in half (the top and bottom, not symmetrically), we used to those halves to trace circles on a piece of paper. With those circles, we started peeling the two halves and filled the circles with the orange peel so that you could only see orange. In the end, we filled exactly 4 circles with orange peel and found that the surface area of a sphere is 4πr².

During August 2017, I spent two weeks doing the JLT (Junior Leadership Training Program) at Camp Squeah. I had gone there before as a camper and had lots of fun with all the other campers and the councilors that were in our cabins. There, I had made many friends and learned about how to be myself.
In JLT, we learned how to run the camp activities (Archery, Rock Climbing, Hiking and Drama) and got to run the Daytrippers camp for children aged 6-12. We also had our turn with doing dishes and cleaning up the camp.
In the end, it was a really great experience and I’ve learned so much about taking care of children, friendship, teamwork and God. I’m looking forward to going to Senior Leadership Training this summer!
Since we already know the surface area of the lake (9.94 km², as provided by Wikipedia), we can use the average depth of the lake to estimate the amount of water that the lake holds:
SA= 9.94 km²
Average Depth= 119m
9.94 km² = 
9940000 m² • 119 m = 1 182 860 000 m³
This shows that the volume on the lake is around 1 182 860 000 m³. We know that one cubed meter of fresh water at 4°C is 1000 kg. Considering the lake’s high altitudes, we can assume that the water’s pretty cold. Since there is 1 182 860 000 m³ of water in the lake, we multiply it by 1000 kg.
1 182 860 000 • 1000 kg = 1 182 860 000 000 kg of water.
Since 1 L of water is equal to 1 kg of water,this shows that there is roughly 1 182 860 000 000 L of water in Garibaldi Lake.
I think that if the barrier were to break down, the water (theoretically) will flow out. The results of the water coming out, may be similar to what happened at the Hope Slide (but on a grander scale). The highway below would be washed out and the amount of water may also flood out in the valley. It would definitely affect the provincial parks in the area and Squamish. Depending on how much water flows down south than flows up north after it washes up against Cloudburst Mountain, the water from Garibaldi Lake could reach Howe Sound and even effect the lower regions of Whistler. The water that also washes up against Cloudburst Mountain can possibly take out parts of the rock, reforming the mountain completely from it’s previous state.

Hemophilia A is a disorder where the body does not contain VIII (FVIII) which is a crucial protein that is used for clotting blood. People with this disease usually bruise easily and when cut, bleed for a longer period of time than a person without the disease would. The bleeding can be internal, in joints and muscles and externally from minor cuts, dental hygiene or trauma. People with severe hemophilia are able to have continuous hemorrhage, which is when blood comes out of a damaged vessel. Some symptoms of hemorrhage is: weakness, problems with joints (tingling, stiffness, pain, unable to move), headaches, vomiting and abdominal pain. This does not follow Mendelian Genetics.

This video isn’t in English, but it shows how in a normal person the plasma will cover the open wound to stop blood from bleeding out, but for people who have hemophilia, it’s not present.
Hemophilia in inherited from the X chromosomal recessive disorder. It causes the clotting plasma to be unable to fully cover up the wound and still bleed. Since it’s and X-linked recessive, if the mother would carry the disorder, the following are the four most likely results:
-A daughter who doesn’t carry the trait
-A daughter who does carry the trait
-A son who doesn’t have hemophilia
-A son who does have hemophilia
The daughter wouldn’t have hemophilia because the father will also pass down an X chromosome which will over right the disorder on the mother’s X chromosome since it’s recessive. There are chances that a daughter will be infected, but it’s rare and both parents needs to be carriers of the gene, and both pass down a chromosome that carries the gene for hemophilia.
