This week, I made a video about a game that I made on Scratch! I also kept coding in Unity, a software for making 2D and 3D games really easily! I also went to my violin, swimming, and Taekwondo classes, and I went to nature school on Wednesday!
I learned about Springs and Hook’s law, which is a law describing how springs work. I learned about the sine and cosine identities. Basically, you can find a bunch of interesting things about sine and cosine just by looking at the unit circle! I learned about a system of stars where each star goes through an eclipse! see MY writing here: https://www.howtodostuffwithethan.com/first-six-star-system-where-all-six-stars-undergo-eclipses/ Here is the diagram. I learned about the proof that, when you take the sine of two angles added up, it’s equal to the sine of the first angle, plus the cosine of the second angle, times the cosine of the first angle, plus the sine of the second angle! Or mathematically (Where x and y are the angles):
sin(x + y) = sin(x) + cos(y) • cos(x) + sin(y)I wrote out the proof in my notebook. I started doing my FSA! I made a video about the text-based top-down shooter dodging game! Haven’t uploaded it yet 🙂 I did Brilliant every day of the week, this was about electric circuits. I wrote some code in Javascript about checking if a number is prime or not. Here is what I based it off of. I basically tried to recreate the code in Scratch into Javascript code. I taught my mom about the proof. I made my first ever game in Unity, WHOOOOO! Check it out here: https://simmer.io/@funnypie1234/cubetastic Yes, I uploaded it to simmer.io. Here is some of the code!
From Mink, my nature school teacher:
“The Great Blue Herons had a great time playing Shrew Ball in the forest with Kat and Luisa’s group, as well as hearing Kat’s beautiful retelling of the douglas fir cone story. In the afternoon, we enjoyed some less structure free play, allowing the forest to guide our inspiration and curiosity. Some kids worked on their forest forts while others invented some new tag games using bandanas. As a group, we started building what will soon be a “Jedi Training Arena”. The main feature of this area is two large crossed logs which are used for practicing balancing, and playing a particularly epic balancing game called “Forest Ninja Ghost Pinata” which Mink learned out East. We did the difficult work of sawing through some large fallen logs and worked as a team to carry and move the logs into place. This required the highest degree of communication, as the logs were quite heavy and we didn’t want anyone to get a crushed toe! Once the logs were nearly in place, Mink used her hatchet to cut notches in the center of each so that they fit together log-cabin style and will not teeter or roll. There is still a few weeks worth of work ahead of us to finish this arena and the supplies we need in order to play the game, but we are all excited about the games that will ensure once it’s finished!“
