 Imperialism Paragraph

During the 1800’s European countries controlled Africa and all of their resources. Some of the resources that

European countries wanted were ivory, gold, diamonds, oil, and rubber. They wanted all these natural resources

to help keep the industrial revolution going in their country. They didn’t have enough natural resources so they stole,

 enslaved, and even killed people for these things. They even sent missionaries to Africa to change their religion because

Europeans thought that what African’s believed was wrong and primitive. Africa is not the only country that this happened to.

The Fourth Dimension- the Fifth Dimension???

 Invention game creation

 

 

The Fourth Dimension

Draw a straight line on a piece of paper. The line has only one dimension. Now draw a square. The square has two dimensions. A dimension is a property of space, or an extension in a given direction. Now, if you are able, draw a cube. A cube has three dimensions.

When you watch a movie in "3-D," or three dimensions, you are probably required to wear special glasses that trick your mind into seeing depth on a flat screen.

We will also work with a fourth dimension—time. The distance from the floor to the top of your head is your height. Stretching your arms out, the distance from one fingertip to the other is an example of width. Putting your hands in front of you provides you with the third dimension—depth. Think about the future. It is likely that your dimensions will change over time, so in this case, time can be considered the fourth dimension.

The sizes and shapes of nations and regions can also change over time. In 1776, the United States consisted of only thirteen states along or near the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. By 1912, 48 states stretched across the mainland of North America. The United States expanded even further west as Alaska and Hawaii joined the union in 1959.

Leo Di Vinci


Who was Leonardo da Vinci?

• He had a keen eye and quick mind that led him to make important scientific discoveries, yet he never published his ideas.
• He was a gentle vegetarian who loved animals and despised war, yet he worked as a military engineer to invent advanced and deadly weapons.
• He was one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance, yet he left only a handful of completed paintings.

WOW! What a Unit-!!!

We have really been learning a lot about the middle ages! We celebrate with the whole school and everyone seemed to enjoy themself!

Congrats on wonderful notebooks! I was very impressed with most of you~

For those students who need to redo their booth visits, I linked an awesome example by Tyler Royal to powerschool!

You can print from the website and use it as a resource.

Please get me those redo booth visits as soon as you can. The longer you take to redo those the less credit they are worth.

Thanks for learning along with me!

The Birth of the MIddle Ages

The birth of the middle ages started around the year 500 with the fall of Rome by the Visigoths. There were many tribes throughout Europe that wanted control: like the Rus, Vikings, and the Normans. Charlemagne and his family were great leaders at this time and they even conquered England at the battle of Hastings. During this time a government called Feudalism developed that put people in a class order. This upset many people because they didn’t have freedom. This lead to the creation of the Magna Carta which allowed people the right to a jury, fair measurement, and  a court.

The role of the church during the middle ages was different from the role of the church today because today we  can choose to be apart of the church.
