'Right Angle Activity'

Following on from the work you did outside on Friday where you hunted down right angles in the outside world, you should look for right angles in shapes at home using a right angle checker to help.
Bring a list into class of where you found your right angles.

You may spot that the hands on the clock will make a right angle at certain times of the day. As an extra challenge try and work out how many times in twelve hours the clock hands form a right angle - Click-here for an on-line activity to help.



How many times in twelve hours do the hands of a clock form a right angle? 

Titanic Project - Model of inside of ship
This is a 2 week project - this is the first week with completion due for the 27 May.

As part of our investigation into the Titanic we have created a large replica of the ship on the wall. We know need to think about what it looked like inside.

You should create a model of the living quarters on the Titanic.

It would be great if you could create your model based on the area you are investigating in class, ie this will mean we will have a selection of models created for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd class passengers as well as for the crew.

Your model should be about the size of a shoebox.

Some examples (mainly for 1st class) can be found at - Click-here

We would like to use these models in animations we plan to do later in the term.
