Maths (Reflection)

Ratios

For the first week of the term, my class was introduced to Ratios as our new topic. We were given
various questions on Ratios to answer as a group and work together to figure out what ways we could use to get the answer.
We created a slideshow as a pair on What is a Ratio? Where do we use Ratios? and How do we use ratios in our everyday life?

What are Ratios?
A ratio compares value. A ratio explains and shows how much one thing is compared to another.

Where do we use it?
Ratios can e used throughout our daily lives, like grocery shopping, cooking, traveling, and more 

What questions do you still have about __Ratios__?
How do we make it easier for ourselves to understand Ratios quicker?

What were some of your strengths and weaknesses in this unit? What is your plan to improve in your areas of weakness?

My strengths were I could do the work quickly when I understood it properly.
Weakness is that I had to keep conversing with others too long for me to understand.

Spend less time talking about the topic but look at the examples and see what I can learn from it.

Explain how this app will enhance the user's wellbeing in the short term and long term. You need to discuss all 4 dimensions of wellbeing.

Drug use/Alcohol/smoking 

Physical - These types of addictions can have a massive impact on your physical well-being. It is really unhealthy to be ingesting these sort of things. Types of drugs you take can cause your body to react in many ways. Drinking alcohol is a massive effect on your weight and safety. Smoking can cause lung cancer and be very harmful. You are STOP! or make yourself aware of these consequences.

Mental and Emotional-  Again these addictions still have a massive impact on your mental and emotional well-being. They can kill off a lot of your brain cells and affect you in a negative way. Drug use is probably one of the worse things that affect your mental and emotional well-being. How? Well using drugs can enhance your feelings or make you see and believe things you would not usually see. They blindside us to believe things that aren't really true. Alcohol and smoking also play a huge part. They heighten your emotions and can cause you to over-react/stress/cry etc... You need to look after yourself.

Social- All of these addictions affect your social well-being equally. Yes, even smoking. How? Because many people have lost others from lung cancer etc... They may glare at your or move away from you because they are either disgusted or do not approve of your choices. Many people also feel unsafe around people who are intoxicated and also high on drugs. You need to quit!


Spiritual- This app provides addicts with stress-free ways that can help them go through the process of quitting their addiction. People with addictions suffer from being treated differently, which can affect the way they look at themselves and their beliefs, that completely change to what others think of them. Addicts battle with themselves within because they can't help it. Its natural for them, after all, they consume more and they just think its normal to keep doing it.

4. What supervolcanoes could erupt in the future?

it is the Yellowstone that is most likely to erupt in the future because it is one of the biggest volcanoes in the world and can kill 87,000 people.

5. What happens during an eruption?

When magma reaches the earth´s surface it is called lava. It may pour out in gentle streams called lava flows or erupt violently into the air. Rocks ripped loose from the inside of the volcano or torn apart by the gas that may be shot into the air with lava. These rocks blown out of the volcano are called the pyroclastic rocks.

6. Does the sun have an effect on volcanism?

In the climate model, both the reduced output from the sun and the increased amount of volcanic aerosols{fine particles which reflect sunlight away from the earth and which are ejected into the stratosphere by volcanic eruptions} contribute a sizeable amount to the northern hemisphere cooling seen in temperature reconstruction, their relative importance depends upon uncertain estimates of exactly how much each changed relative to a century later.
