What an exciting week!!! Learning about structures and the conditions and terms to building structures is all so fun! Just recently we have done a reading and writing quiz/test on structures. Good thing class FE7B's love and passion for science made all the work easy to handle. Just today we had to make a structure that could withstand the weight of multiple textbooks. The team with the structure that could hold the most textbooks won! Our winners held seven textbooks but the all time record for this task was about 36 textbooks! This is an equivalent to 170 pounds! The record holding structure was shell structure made up of three cylinders that were spread apart and attached by tape. The tape would help so the cylinders would not shoot outwards when pressure was applied to it. Because the cylinders were spread out, the weight would also be spread out so the force would not be as strong on the structure. Congratulations to everybody who participated!
Math class in Fe7B is just as exciting! So far in data management, we have learned about paradox data and biased graphs. Most people do not realize that we see biased graphs every single day! Even when watching t.v you can see biased graphs that
company's use for advertisement. Today I found a biased graph in
The Globe And Mail and here are some pictures of it so all you readers can see them too.
The graph on the left is not biased but the graph on the right is. The newspaper wanted to
emphasize how Apple's
iPhone has been making many sales recently.
You can see that the reason for the problem is that the scale's intervals are very far apart.
Thank you for reading! Have a fun P.A day this Friday!
