Staying Safe at Work Reflection

Yesterday, we’ve discussed about how to stay safe at work.

Now, I know that to keep myself at work, I have the right to say no if the task given to me is dangerous or makes me uncomfortable. Also, I can take the training program if I am new. I also have the rights to know the hazards.

To keep others safe at work, I need to tell them to fix possible hazards in our work environment.

Float Your Boat

The problem of this experiment is that pennies stacked together is heavy.

If we put two stirrer sticks on the opposite sides under the boat, then it will hold a lot of pennies because it can balance it out.

Our boat held 93 pennies.

The boat will last longer and can hold many pennies as long as we could balance everything.

I would change the width of the boat wider.

Get To Know You

Document: Get to know you – descriptive writing

 

  •             Anxiety, a terrifying monster-like existence who clings to us, it lurks in our shadows. Everyday, I wake up and the dawn with its rosy hands grasping everything, the cold breeze whispering, and here I am, trembling. Panicking, I try to rush preparing to go to school, as I walk by, I shudder at the many eyes gazing at me, as if laughing. Every time a teacher of mine asks me a question, I gulp and shiver inside, fearing the silent jeers that might come from the people around me. I gather up the courage to fight the shadow of anxiety, but I know that I will fail. Every dark thought is running up in my veins, turning the red blood to deep black, carrying all negative emotions. Even though I’m not supposed to feel like this, I can’t help it. Anxiety turns my existence to a shallow, fragile glass that seems to break down with just a single breath.

 

  •              Winter, a season where the slumbering giant awakens and exhales its frigid breaths, turning everything into a frozen world. Every time I step, I leave a mark on the white, slippery road. Everywhere is lifeless, with the wind scattering the coldness, and the branches of the leafless trees, as if wanting to catch the snows, stretching out everywhere. However, for me, everything is beautiful, the white world sparkling and blurry, like the silhouette of love, the blue fairies dancing everywhere, making me surge up with emotions in this cold world. Still, these emotions won’t last long, as the hot, massive ball of fire and the seemingly fluffy cottons in the sky, albeit carrying the water of grievance, will melt the snowy world. Right now, I seek out warmth, as I know that even the winter that I love will imprison me, frozen, entrapping me for a long time. However, for the last time, as I lay down on the snow, wishing the freezing world will last long.

 

  •              Books mend one’s soul, then forms an imaginary world in your mind, albeit without anyone knowing what’s in there. Everything in there is the choice of the words that you taste, you can lick the words and it might be a sweet and delicious candy, but it can also be a very bitter dark chocolate. As your eyes absorb the sculptures made of ink, you might see the holy light of the heaven’s gate, or the dreadful flames of hell. Then, something magical happens when you listen to the sound of words, you might hear the serene and pleasant voice of a siren, turning your mind to a state of tranquility; or you can even hear a devastatingly terrifying roar of an ancient dragon, breathing its fiery breaths.. Furthermore, when you smell the dead wood marked with ink, you might be able to smell the spices from a very old town, waking up the nostalgia from the very nook of your mind or worse, you might even smell the filthy smell of raw sewage. With books, you can imagine a very vast world, even if it’s the past, present, future, or even the world of fantasy, it will be transported into your mind.

Immigration Journal Project

15225188_1243057025746543_1285824574_o

For this project, I was supposed to do some sort of journal depicting a person who migrated to Canada during the Great Migration. I impersonated a Black slave whilst writing letters as to present his journey to achieve freedom from being a slave. The most successful thing I’ve done in this project is, I think, the feelings that was portrayed from the letters. If I were to be given a chance to modify the letters, I would change the first part as it was a bit cheesy. While I was in the process of writing the letters, I learned some things but I think the most important of them is the moral value that I grasped – that I should be satisfied with what I have as others might not have them or have difficulties having them, and if I am not satisfied, then I should work hard as to achieve it. Another thing I’ve learned is that living in the past is harder than we think, there might be some happy people, but there were a lot of conflicts. Nonetheless, I had fun impersonating a person I never thought I would ant it was nice thinking about their perspectives.

Math 10 – FOIL Method: Multiplying Two Binomials

One of the things I learned in Math 10 this week is multiplying two binomials. There are a lot of methods to use but the most efficient method is FOIL Method; or First, Outer, Inner, Last.

To do the FOIL method, first, find out if you’re multiplying a polynomial with two terms each. E.g.

screenshot_5  So now, we have two binomials that we can multiply. (x + 2)(x + 3y)

How does the FOIL method works? First, you need to know what terms are First, Outer, Inner, and Last.

. So, how do you determine which is which? The first terms are obviously the first terms in each polynomial. In our example it is x and x. The outer terms are the terms ‘outside’ or the ones in both ends of your equation/expression. In our given example, they are the terms x and 3y. The inner terms are the terms ‘inside’ or the two terms in the center of your equation. In our example, they are 2 and x. Lastly, the last terms are the the second terms in each polynomial. It’s 2 and 3y in the example given.

Note: You CANNOT multiply the terms inside of the bracket as they are divided by either addition or subtraction depending on your polynomials.

Continuing the example, (x + 2)(x + 3y), now we need to multiply the binomials. Remember, FOIL

screenshot_2

{x}\cdot{x}=x^2

screenshot_3

{x}\cdot{3y}=3xy

screenshot_4

{2}\cdot{x}=2x

screenshot_6

{2}\cdot{3y}=6y

Math 10 – Right Rectangular Prism (SA and V)

screenshot_7

Right rectangular prism’s surface area and volume.

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, all you have to do is find each side’s areas then add them all together. For surface area, the final answer must have a squared unit (n2), where the n is the unit.

The formula for it is: SA = 2(b*l) + 2(b*h) + 2(l*h)

 

For the volume, you just have to multiply the base, height, and length. For volume, the final answer must have a cubed unit (n3), where the n is the unit.

The formula for rectangular prism’s volume is: V = b*h*l

 

Base = b; Length = l; Height = h.

Example:

screenshot_5b = 20.4 mm

l = 21.2 mm

h = 5.1 mm

SA = 2(20.4 * 21.2) + 2(20.4 * 5.1) + 2(21.2 * 5.1) = 1289.33 mm2

V = (20.4)(21.2)(5.1) = 2205.6 mm3

Math 10 – Micrometer

screenshot_3

Using a micrometer to measure objects.

Instructions:

  1. Place the object you want to measure between the Anvil and the Spindle. You can adjust the space by spinning the Thimble.
  2. After that, look at the Sleeve and the Barrel Scale.
  3. The first reading, or the course reading is the value of the last fully visible line on the sleeve. The upper part of the sleeve is counts by a whole number; (1, 2, 3, 4, 5…) while the lower part of the sleeve is just 0.5. 
    • For example, the course reading on the example below is 9.5 mm. screenshot_4
  4. Now, look at the reference line. The reference line is the line that’s dividing the sleeve to upper and lower parts. Match the reference line with the closest line on the barrel scale. That’s your second reading, which is called barrel scale reading. The barrel scale is the part near the sleeve that can be rotated. It counts by 0.01 mm. (0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.10, 0.23…etc).
    • On the example below, the barrel scale reading is 0.09 mm.screenshot_4
  5. Now that you have the course and barrel scale reading, add them both to get your final reading.
    • The two readings on the example given were
      • 9.5 mm and 0.09 mm.
      • 9.5mm + 0.09mm = 9.59mm.
