Amena: Hey everyone! Today me and my best friend Mayumi tried to make a table that can hold a book of 650 pages. We could use only 3 things and they are: tape, 8 papers, and a piece of cardboard. The piece of cardboard should be the top of the table. Our fist attempt didn't work because the legs of the table weren't taped well, and they weren't properly rolled. The second attempt worked because we properly rolled the paper and taped the legs well, but the main thing that held the book is that the legs of the table were 3 papers not 2. here is a picture of our successful attempt:

    Hi Amena, thanks for sharing. So the amount of paper you used made a difference, did it? That is interesting. I am SO GLAD you included a photo. Now, please understand that I am VERY IMPRESSED you guys took on this project but I am wondering as I look at that photo: would you be willing to put a full meal on top of that table? A meal that you made yourself AND would need to clean up yourself? If you were to do this project again, would you do anything differently? I look forward to hearing back from you! Keep up the good work.

    Great job, sure it's relief when your attempt finally works out. So again, why 3 legs not 4 like usual?

    We’re you allowed to use tools like scissors? I was thinking of cutting the cardboard to be smaller but then maybe that’s not allowed! What do you think made this challenge the hardest?

Pixels by Aya

Image
Hi!  And welcome to Game Day!  💙   Today I went on code.org and I watched a video about pixels. Now, I learned about pixels a pretty long time ago, but for those of you who are new, a pixel is: a smallest addressible element in a raster image, or the smallest addressible element in all points addressible diplay device; so it's the smallest contollable element of a picture represented on the screen.

Part one: Hi everyone! Today we made our designs for boats. We have limited supplies for them. We have tape, straws, plastic wrap, and paper cups. We need to make a boat that will carry 20 washers and stay afloat. If any of you have suggestions, please write them in the comments below. Do you think it will sink or float? Can it hold 20 washers? Next week I will send the results. Please respond! Bye!😍🛥 Part two: So I strugled with keeping it bouyant stable and waterproof, but it was a fun expirence. i was the last to finish, and mine never really worked but it was okay. BYE!

Sour Dough Cookie's (By Noelle)

                      Sour Dough Cookies🍪😋 Today we made sour dough cookies. We learned about different ways to measure ingredients. One of them was volume, that's when you use measuring cups, like when you measure 1 cup or a 1/2 cup. Another one was weight and mass, and that's with a scale, and that's when you measure by weight.(see pictures below)                    Measuring cups and spoons                                                                              Scale
