Dija had a great video that we could not get to upload. In the video she explained and demonstrated her project. She also did a test to find out what would happen if she changed the location of the fulcrum of the catapult. Excellent job, Dija!
Two Weeks ago we celebrated Pi day. Which was a week early but we didn't think we would have game day on the real Pi day, But we did so we celebrated it again cause why not? Last week on Pi day we built the number Pie, or at least some of it. Each number from 1 to 9 had a different color. There is a website with 100,000 digits of Pi. For every digit we put a lego block that matched the color of the code. It looked something like this, but not as uniform. And here is the website for the Pi digits (It is a LOT of digits) 100,000 Digits of Pi (uiuc.edu)
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
Wow. That really gets me mixed up. Or it did until today. Or, It happened when I had to find the circumference of a dome I was designing. ;) Any way... its not pi day yet, we are celebrating today because next game day we will be busy. This is what pi is. The number π ( / p aɪ / ) is a mathematical constant . It is defined as the ratio of a circle 's circumference to its diameter , and it also has various equivalent definitions. It appears in many formulas in all areas of mathematics and physics and the earliest known use of the Greek letter π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter was by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. [1] It is approximately equal to 3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter " π " since the mid-18th century, and is spelled out as " pi ". It is also referred to as Archimedes' constant. We made Pie. Good bye!! ...
How did you make it, and how did it turn out
