Math 10- Flag pole Lab

Feb23

Today we did a flag pole lab where we used tools like a clinometer to measure the angle of our eyesight which was tricky because the wind was so strong today so we had to wait until the string stopped moving. We used a meter stick to measure our eyesight how tall our eyes are from the ground. We also used a trundle wheel to measure how far we stood from the flagpole we measured in the middle of the concrete slab to the tips of my shoes and we used the line on the concrete to go as straight as possible.  We then drew a detailed sketch of all our sides and angles and then used SOH CAH TOA to figure out the height of the flagpole. We ended up using TOA since we do not know the hypotenuse. We used trigonometry to help us be as precise as possible. We then compared with other groups to see who was the most accurate and why. We saw that the closest group had 46 degrees. We had to use our communication skills to help each other out to be as accurate as possible.

 

 

Core competency communication

Dec17

Self-reflection:

Communication competency…

In P.E I am picking Health Unit 2.

I learned different communication skills. The first one I am going to be talking about is negotiating skills. Negotiating skills are qualities that require two or more sides to compromise so both sides are happy with the outcome. other skills that come with this skill are persuasion, planning, strategizing, and cooperation. The second one is Delay skills. Delay skills are being able to make a plan to do something another time for example if your friend asks to have a sleepover but you have plans with your family that weekend you can ask them if another time would be better. You are basically trying to extend the sleepover to another time. the third one is Refusal skills. Refusal skills require you to be able to say No in a nice but assertive way. That way the person knows you are strong about your answer but still polite in a way. these skills have helped me understand the different ways of potentially saying no and could further help me in the future. I can also learn about using my body language more when speaking and showing more expression. I understand the aspects of learning how to communicate better with others.
