,"Measuring without accuracy or precision, is like trying to light a candle in a Hurricane"

Today we had a class in which we learnt the importance of  precision and accuracy by making a house with paper.  The importance of precision and accuracy can be seen in this qoute,"measuring without accuracy or precision, is like trying to light a candle in a Hurricane". without precise measurements we  will never be able
 to arrive at a correct answer and will always be one step away from perfection. the idea is specifically conveyed by a candle which will never lighten up unless the right conditions are provided. just like trying to light up a candle during a hurricane will be as in vain as trying to arrive at a solution using incorrect/inaccurate data.

 

How do Stacking of cups relates to the amount of team work needed in Science

Stacking of cups relates to the amount of team work needed in science as it showed how a team should work. It would have very difficult if we were asked to do it alone. Even the great World researchers needed a group to make something.

Making a elegant shape with pieces of paper

Pieces of paper cut into Random shapes seems to make no sense at first but if we we join the pieces we can find it like a puzzle and we can get a perfect shape from it and it can be a rectangle or square. We did this activity in our class, we were given a few pieces and after some struggle we were able to make a perfect square from it.

making pyramid with paper glasses

Making Pyramids with paper glasses is very interesting activity. We make it by a rubberband with 4 threads tied to it and there are 2 partners holding 2 threads with both hands and then lifting it by stretching the rubberband and putting it over the other cups and making a pyramid.
