Movie Prop Project
Click for larger image.
We have blown up an ordinary object to make it like a movie prop in the movie that Mr.Erickson showed us. We had to make it a proper size, because if it weren't the proper proportions then it would be wrong, and it would ve wrong.
We decided to make a NERD'S box, because we couldn't find anything else to do. In this case, we had so many measurements to take, and it took a while in order to get all the measurements taken and then converted into the size the prop would be drawn on. We took the easiest way, and made a calculator on Google spreadsheet, similar to the that's above. With this, we made it a little faster to convert the measurements to blow up. After, taking all the measurements, we worked on the box. First, we started with a simple cardboard, then we cut it to the according size and made the box. Since, the box was red cardboard, we decided to cover it in paper, and so we did. After we did this, we started painting, although it took a while, because of all the coats it had, and because we had to paint the solid first color, and then make the dots.
After we had finished the box and painted it, we had to move onto the report. The report contained of the measurements and all the dimensions that the object was. This took not as long as the box, but it did take a while because we had to transfer all the measurements and what they converted onto another spreadsheet, that was actually on the report. Even though, this project took quite a while to do, we had more than enough time to work on it.

Algebra Calculator
In algebra, we programmed the computer to solve an equation. We used google spreadsheet so that we could program it, because we thought it would be the easiest to work with. In order to get this correct, we had to make sure that we programmed it to work correctly so that we could input any problem and solve it. At first, we had decided to use scratch, but we didn't know how to work with it, so instead, we chose Google Spreadsheet. Above, are the steps we used to solve the problem. It shows a little of what we had to do, or the computer had to do, so it could solve a problem. The diagram shows you the steps the google spreadsheet, (calculator) did in order to get the answer.
I used to think that I would always be using a calculator, but I even made one myself. I didn't know it was possible to make one, but it is. I thought I would always use my calculator instead of doing it by hand or in my head, before I knew my times tables.
