Week 10 Review

Did you celebrate Pi Day of the Century?  It was on Saturday, March 14, because that day was 3.14.15 and Pi is 3.1415.  In fact, at 9:26:53 on 3.14.15, the world celebrated Pi Day of the Century as the date and time included the first 10 numbers of Pi.  

I learned all about Pi and how it helps to determine the circumference of any circle that exists in our universe.  Then, I created this fun Pi art, graphing out the first 12 numbers of Pi to create a city skyline.  Did you know there is not a known circle that exists in our universe whose circumference cannot be calculated with Pi to the 11th decimal?

Pi.  All the cool kids know it.  Pie.  All the cool kids eat it.  If you write the mirror image of 3.14 inversely to read 413, it will spell Pie.  Try it.  Mind blown.  

I also finished making my moccasins.  That's right people, I made these!  They were an engineering and art project in response to the book, Sign of the Beaver.  I love my moccasins!  I wear them a lot, especially when I want to sneak up on someone.

My parents bought me this cool new game called Gravity Maze.  It's like coding in 3D.  There are four levels of puzzle cards, and you have to follow the code to create a functional marble run.  I thought it was going to be easy . . . but it's soooooo hard!  Especially the expert level.

My mom lets me play this for homeschool because it is a real-life application of science (physics), technology (coding), engineering, and math.

Some other things I accomplished during week 10:

• Finished my unit on fractions.  That's right, people.  I'm a fractions genius.  
• Read two about John Audubon and one about ornithology.  
• Finished my physics principia (check out my post) and my Pizza with the Founding Fathers (check out my post).  
• Went to nature club.
• Filmed two scenes of my stop-motion animated book report.

That's all for now.  Out -
