Monday 19th August Presentations:
Group of 5 Students: CCBJV: KFC Bucket - How much air is in the bucket? Model the volume of each type of piece.
Group of 4 Students: RDJC: Compare the volume & surface area of two towers.
Group of 5 Students: LLSKM: Burger King, King Box, Chicken Fries. How much air is in the box?
Group of 3 Students: BZT: Volume and surface area of cylinder stack.
Tuesday 20th August Presentations:
Group of 3 Students: SZT: Pizza Box - How much air is in the box? The pizza will be modeled as a cylinder.
Group of 2 Students: AT: Nivea Skin Care - What percentage of the external box is actually product? The container is modeled as a cylinder.
Group of 2 Students: MR: Polygon People - Which person has the greatest area? Which person has the longest perimeter?
Group of 3 Students: RJK: What is the volume & capacity of this mug?
10r: 23
Monday 19th August Presentations:
Group of 3 Students: CHE: Shuttlecock - What is the volume of this shuttlecock? The plan is to model using compound prisms and sphere then to compare the calculations with the actual volume. To find the actual volume we will submerge the shuttlecock in water and measure the water displaced.
Group of 2 Students: MC: Polygon Person - Can we make a polygon person with an area of 100 square centimeters? We will guess the perimeter before we start, then compare our guess with the actual perimeter.
Group of 3 Students: LJK: Capacity of a yogurt container.
Group of 5 Students: ABABA: Polygon people.
Tuesday 20th August Presentations:
Group of 2 Students: MZJ: How much air is in a packet of Pringles? We will imagine the chips are flat and model them as a slim cylinder. We will model the container as a cylinder also.
Group of 2 Students: MH: How much air is in a box of crackers?
Group of 2 Students: JJ&D: How many different shapes can we design with the same area.
Group of 2 Students: JM&V: What percentage of Prime Climb 42 is purple?
Group of 2 Students: LL: Calculating the volume of a complex shape made up posting blocks.
9nn: 27
Group of 4 Students: MARS: How much air is in a box of shapes.
Group of 3 Students: HJS: What is the volume of a football?
Group of 2 Students: TT:
Group of 2 Students: LR: How much air is in an M&M container?
Group of 3 Students: RVP: What is the volume of the chocolate container?
Group of 3 Students: TGM: What is the surface area and volume of a laptop?
Group of 4 Students: DBJK: Design and cylinder and triangular prism of the same volume.
Group of 3 Students: RAE: Who much air space is in a Nivea box with a plastic container?
Group of 3 Students: NAS: What is the volume of this phone case?
9x: 30
Monday 19th August Presentations:
Group of 4: JAAD: What is the volume & surface area of a set of cricket wickets?
Group of 4: DJ-KC: We are comparing the percentage of product in Pringles and homebrand.
Group of 5: Team Furbies: We are calculating the volume of the desks in the classroom as a percentage of the air space.
Group of 3: ATA: Polygon People comparing perimeter and area.
Tuesday 20th August Presentations:
Group of 2: MC: Volume of a key ring.
Group of 3: BAB: Volume of glue in a glue stick.
Group of 4: SAJJ: Air in a Tic-Tac container
Group of 5: PELMT: How much air in our jar of lollies?
Absent: Alan
Classroom Air Quality: Idea for a group project.
Problem: How long would 9x last in P9 if all the windows and doors were closed and it was airtight?
Plan: Measure the room dimensions, calculate the volume of air. Research about oxygen. Make calculations in order to answer the question.
Measure: Width, Length and Heights of P9
Calculate:
- The average adult, when resting, inhales and exhales about 7 or 8 liters of air per minute.
- We have 32 people and 60 minutes.
- 20% of air is oxygen, but people use 25% of this, they exhale 15% Oxygen.
- We will simplify the equation by assuming 5% of the air inhaled is used Oxygen.
- Volume of Oxygen used by 9x in one lesson: 7 liters * 60 minutes * 5% * 32 people = 672 liters
- Estimated Volume of Oxygen in the room at the start of the lesson: width*height*length*20% = 72 cubic meters.
- Convert 72 cubic meters to litres = 72,000 liters.
Conclude:
- There is 72,000 liters of Oxygen in P9.
- 9x uses roughly 672 litres of oxygen per hour.
- We would last 107 hours. As the concentration of oxygen in the air reduces we would start to feel unwell.
