The Open Box Problem An open box is to be made from a sheet of card. Identical squares are cut off the four corners of the card, as shown below. [IMAGE] The card is then folded along the dotted lines to make the box. The main aim is to determine the size of the square cut which makes the volume of the box as large as possible for any given rectangular sheet of card, but first I am going to experiment with a square to make it easier for me to investigate rectangles. I am going

What comes to mind when you think of Antarctica? Far away, penguins, maybe a few scientists, and……ice. Antarctica is a continent located towards the Southern Pole and covered, completely, in ice. The ice has come and gone throughout history as the result of massive changes in climate and now, something is happening to it. The ice is depleting, though not as fast as the Arctic Ocean, and not quite the way you would think. And if we accept that it is depleting, what happens as the climate continues

Curiosity is an important and powerful trait. It keeps your mind active because curious people are always asking questions and search for the answers in their minds. It opens your mind up to new ideas. When you are curious about something, your mind can anticipate new ideas that relate to it. It takes curiosity to discover a new world of possibilities. With a curious mind, there will always be new things that attract your attention. Pandora in Theogony by Hesiod shows us why being curious can be
“Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the Box” by The Arbinger Institute is about the culture of a company, Zagrum, and how the culture has contributed to it’s success. The concept that Zagrum relies on is ridding the company of “people problems” as a result from “being in the box”. The book talks about being in the box and what it means, how you get in the box, and how you get out of the box. The Arbinger Institute’s book describes how Zagrum’s top initiative is to reduce “self-deception”
the utility companies are open. Banks and other offices will be open too. If something goes wrong, you can immediately get it taken care of, instead of having to wait until Monday. Going a weekend without power or water is no fun. 2. Go high tech. Find a home inventory app. You can make your smartphone work for you. You can take a picture of your possessions, and then make sure those things get assigned to a particular box. Then you can tell the app which room that box belongs to. When you are all
sit-n-reach box. According to the data the Treadmill had a lot more bacteria on it than the sit-n-reach box. The sit-n-reach box did not have much bacteria on it at all. Than also according to the data my hypothesis of if if I use the Swiffer Wetjet Wood Floor Cleaner than the number of bacteria will decrease failed. After using the cleaner the bacteria actually grew a little bit, it did not decrease, so that was a fail on the hypothesis. I think that cleaning the sit-n-reach box actually gave the box more
realms as Beloved and memories of past life. Toni Morrison uses the symbol of “the tin tobacco box” heart to show how people repress memories. Paul D admits that he has a rusted over tin box in his chest, but he is not the only person who hides feelings. The community as a whole has buried feelings that do not surface until drastic measures are taken. In the novel, Paul D describes his heart as a tin box. He has locked away his painful memories from Sweet Home and the prison camp. Paul D represses

dilemmas, and in an age of curiosity the story of Pandora’s Box stands outs. Pandora had every thing she wanted but she was given one rule not to open a locked box, she decided she wanted to open the box anyway, and then “Horrible things flew out of the box including greed, envy, hatred, pain, disease, hunger, poverty, war, and death. All of life’s miseries had been let out into the world” http://www.greekboston.com/culture/mythology/pandoras-box/. Other than several layers of philosophical issues that
The Open Box Investigation The aim of this investigation is to find the largest volume within for an open box with any size square cut out I will be increasing the square cut out by 1cm until I reach a point where the volume decreases. At this point I will decrease the square cut out by 0.1cm until I reach the maximum volume. This will be done on several different grids until I see a pattern which I will then use to create a formula. I will record my results in a table for the different
Observation: Three weeks ago, the children were able to open and close the boxes that I incorporated with the musical instruments. They used the boxes as a musical instrument by tapping the bottom part of it, using it as a tool to stand, or basically just practicing how to open and close it. When I hid something in the box they kept on opening it and smiling as they opened it. In the room, we had this one big coffee tin can that has holes on the plastic lid. Children would take off the blue plastic
irrationally in a moment of impairment. Gun safes provide the safest way to store guns compared to other methods because guns need to stay in a secure, disaster-resistant, and child proof place. Safes began with the knowledge of locks. The first lockable box was made of wood and found in the tomb of Pharaoh Ramses II. Pharaoh Ramses II use locked boxes for keeping his gold and treasures safe from raiders. These wood locks used a pin system. When engaged, the
days, whistles were pretty popular. Slide whistles were a very common favor at birthday parties. I remember an older cousin came back from the army once, and he had a really cool whistle that played several different notes. It had come out of a box of cracker jacks. My supplier in those days was my grandfather, who conveniently owned a liquor store. My brother and sister played with my cousins in canyons and caves made out of the corrugated cardboard crates in the storeroom of beer and cigarettes
Education opens up the door to a world that may seem impossible. Education is important because it lets people see the world differently, teaches you how to think, and education opens the door for opportunities. Education lets you see the world differently. For instance, when a person is not educated, they can see the world as hopeless, tough, or even cruel. This was shown in the book Kaffir Boy, written by Mark Mathabane. The father in the book was not educated. He had an oppressive time trying
Corresponding author. Tel: +91 9036471963, E-mail: praphulla.rao@gmail.com Abstract—The disciplines of physics, biology, and chemistry have adopted highly diverse approaches and strategies on thermodynamics education. Many studies have addressed the problems in making the students understand the fundamentals in thermodynamics. Students tend to memorize the equations without the knowledge of their applications and therefore forget them soon after their exams. This paper talks about the challenges of teaching
important factor for foreign businesses to take part in China’s growing economy. Ever since China open its doors to the outside world, it has widely become a fighting space for foreign investors and business to raid in and take advantage of the vulnerable but growing economy, during that period. This has led to China today being one of the highest countries with foreign investments. Before China’s Open Door Policy in 1979, China was in a crucial point in trying to grow its economy. Balancing out the
The myth of Pandora’s Box has always been one that has caught my attention. According to The Free Dictionary by Farlex, Pandora’s Box is defined as “a source of extensive but unforeseen troubles or problems,” (Pandora’s+box, Farlex). To me, it is very fascinating to think that one person, Pandora, can be responsible for majority of the evils in the world. Also the controversy between hope being a good thing or a bad thing catches my attention. These are some of the main reasons that I chose this
