TKAMB Timeline

Chapter One:

  • Scout and Jem meet Dill over summer when Scout was 6 and Jem was 10, and they instantly became friends after a small conversation, which Scout and Jem were happy about.

Chapter Two:

  • Jem, who’s had experience with the first grade, calms Scout from stressing about why she got in trouble for already knowing how to read, which made Scout a bit more calm and she stopped being upset.

Chapter Three:

  • Scout and Jem welcomed Walter Cunningham to their house after Scout was mad at him for getting her in trouble, which made Cunningham happy that Scout didn’t hurt him anymore, and they let him eat dinner. Scout them judged Walter for pouring syrup on all of his food, but Calpurnia stopped her and told her not to do so, because he’s a guest and can eat however he likes to eat.

Chapter Four:

  • Scout finds items inside of a tree next to the Radley place, and tells Jem about it, and they bring the items home to inspect them more, which made Jem think a lot about it, as he kept trying to figure out who put them there, and why they put them there. They decided not to tell Atticus about it.

Chapter Five:

  • Jem, Scout and Dill attempted to send a letter to Boo Radley, that nicely asks him to come outside sometime, but they were caught by Atticus, who quickly stopped them from giving Boo Radley the letter. The kids felt sad about not being able to give him the letter, and Atticus was probably mildly annoyed that the kids were trying to torment someone because they never come out of their house.

Chapter Six:

  • Dill, Scout, and Jem tried to get to a window at the Radley Place, when Mr. Radley caught them, and shot a warning shot into the air, which scared all of them, and made them run away. Mr. Radley believed it to be a black man in his crops, and nobody knew that it was actually the kids, so they decided not to mention that it was them.

Chapter Seven:

  • When Jem went back to grab his pants from when he left them behind, they were sewn and neatly folded, which freaked him out, making him silent for some time at the beginning of the chapter.
  • They also found a soap carving of them, which again, made them question who made it.

Chapter Eight:

  • Miss Maudie’s house caught fire, and while Scout was looking at the fire, Boo Radley had put a blanket over her to keep her warm, but she didn’t notice. Once Atticus told Scout and Jem that Boo Radley did it, they both were shocked, and annoyed at Scout for not turning around and seeing him.

Chapter Nine:

  • Atticus tells Scout about himself defending Tom Robinson in court, and how they would most likely not win, because jury almost never side with a black man. Scout then questions why Atticus will even try to win it, and Atticus just says that there would be no point not to do so.

Chapter Ten:

  • Atticus is forced to shoot a mad dog who was in Maycomb, after Jem believed his father was nothing special. After it, Jem started to look up to his father again, and believed him to be cooler than before.

Chapter Eleven:

  • After Jem had to read to Mrs. Dubose for a month, she eventually passed away because of her sickness. Atticus told Jem about her sickness, and why she was always mean, and this began to change Jem’s mind about her, and felt empathetic for her.

Chapter Twelve:

  • Calpurnia brought Jem and Scout to her church, where at first, Jem and Scout were not welcomed to by Lula, who wanted them to go to their own church, and not be in theirs. After that, the other people welcomed them. Jem and Scout learned more about how similar their church was to theirs.

Math Art on Desmos

For this project, we had to create an image of Santa using Desmos with functions and relations. This graph shows Santa’s beard, eyes, face, and hat, all of which were created using domains, Ranges, functions and relations.

 

Above are all the equations and inequalities I used to create the picture of Santa. I started off with his circular face, and used the first expression shown above to do so. I then made his eyes, which were made using the same type of expression, but more numbers, as shown as the fourth and fifth expressions on the list. I then created the hat, using the second, third, sixth and seventh expressions on the list, and then his beard, using parabola’s with the eighth and ninth expressions, and then lastly his pompom part on his hat, using the last expression.

Overall, I think this seemed to be a bit challenging at first, because I didn’t instantly know what I was doing, but once I got into doing it, I found it a lot easier to manipulate the certain lines and circles to go exactly where I wanted them to go.

 

Racism Now Vs. Then

 

 

Today, racism has gotten a lot better than back then, however, there still is a lot of racism today, but not at harsh as before. For example, back then, blacks had to use different bathrooms, sit farther back on busses, etc… But now, they get to use the same everything as whites for the most part. Today, racism seems to be a lot more discreet than back then, for example, police have arrested way more blacks for possession of drugs, and barely any whites in comparison. Blacks may even get longer jail time than whites would.

Rube Goldberg Project

 

As you can see in the video, we didn’t have good luck with the machine actually working, but it got pretty close.

 

How it works:

  1. The hockey puck rolls and hits the dominoes which is mechanical
  2. The dominoes fall down and hit the golf ball which is mechanical
  3. Then the golf ball rolls down the slope which is gravitational
  4. Then the golf ball falls into the cup which weighs the cup down which is gravitational which
  5. Then pulls on the string to lift the piece of card board which is mechanical which
  6. Then releases the car with the pin to roll down the slope which is gravitational
  7. Then the pin pops the balloon that has the marble inside which is sound and elastic
  8. Then the marble rolls down the slope which is gravitational
  9. Then hits the dominoes which is mechanical
  10. Then the dominoes fall down and hit the bell which is sound and gravitational

 

 

Algebra Tiles Math 10 H 2017

(2x + 3) (x – x)

 

The top tiles represent 2x + 3, while the tiles on the left represent x – x.

All the tiles between them, is the answer to the equation that was made.

Since there are two -x^2 and two x^2 that would make two zero pairs, which would make that part zero.

And then there are three x’s and three -x’s , which would make three more zero pairs, and again, make that part zero, so the overall answer of the equation would be zero because (x – x) was zero, and that gets multiplied, which would always make the answer zero.

Garibaldi Lake Task

Garibaldi Lake Task

In order to find the volume, all you’d have to do, is multiply the surface area or the lake, with the average depth, and you’d have an average volume of the entire lake.

 

To determine the amount of water behind the barrier, you’d first have to convert the Surface area from kilometers to meters, so you can multiply that with the average depth to find the volume. 9.41km^2  into meters would be . 9,940,000m^2.

 

After converting that, you then multiply it with the average depth.

9,940,000m^2 \cdot 119m = 1,182,860,000m^3

 

 

The total amount of water would be 1,182,860,000m^3.

 

If the barrier were to collapse, the majority of the water would most likely flood out, flooding close by areas, and destroying many things.

 

According to Steve Quane, a member of Quest University, the amount of power created would be “200 times the energy released by the bomb on Hiroshima.” Luckily, this happening will most likely not happen during our life time.
