The Fourth Dimension- the Fifth Dimension???

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.

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.
