Area of a Square
How to find the area of a square:
The area of a square can be found by multiplying the base times itself. This is similar to the area of a rectangle but the base is the same length as the height.
If a square has a base of length 6 inches its area is 6*6=36 square inches
FOUR PHASES: Learn, Practice, Play & Explore

How to find the area of a rectangle:
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the base times the height.
If a rectangle has a base of length 6 inches and a height of 4 inches, its area is 6*4=24 square inches

Technology Tip of the Day!
Technology Tip Number 110
Mega Byte This
When you work with computers you see KB (or KiloBytes) and MB (or MegaBytes) all the time but what does it stand for? Basically it’s a measurement of memory on a computer. To help you understand exactly what in means there is an example below.
So What’s a Byte anyway?
When you get right down to it computers only know two things off and on. That’s it just OFF and ON. And a computer expresses OFF as a “0” and ON as a “1”. Everything you see on the screen right now is just a specifically ordered combination of 1’s and 0’s to the computer that tell it exactly how to display this webpage. Now here’s the confusing part. Each individual 1 or 0 is called a BIT and 8 BITS together is called a BYTE. When you type a 0 the computer actually recognizes that zero as the series of 8 BITS or “00000000”
Here are some examples of what some other numbers and letters look like to the computer:
0 = 00000000 a = 01100001 L = 01001100
1 = 00000001 v = 01110110 p = 01110000
2 = 00000010 $ = 00100100 z = 01111010
Here’s a link to even more if you’re curious: http://www.micron.com/k12/lessonplans/zerosones/asciibinary.html
So, in really super simplified terms, when I type the letter “L” the computer translates that to be the BYTE “01001100." If I typed the letter “L” 50 times that would be 50 BYTES of information. If I typed the letter “L” 1000 times that would be 1000 BYTES or 1 KiloByte or 1KB. Actually Bytes are measured in powers of 2 so 1KB isn't exactly 1000 bytes, but it is close enough. Below is a chart of common abbreviations and their actual values in bytes:
Name Abbreviation Actual Size in Bytes
KiloBytes KB 1024
MegaBytes MB 1,048,576
GigaBytes GB 1,073,741,824
To learn more about these bytes and their abbreviations try this site:
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/bytes1.htm
And here's some even more specific information about how bytes and mega bytes are measured: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/calculate/
PRACTICE ACTIVITY: The next time you look in one of your folders on the computer take note of the size of the files.
TO KEEP ON LEARNING: To learn more about computer memory try searching the internet for:

Have a nice day!

Happy New Year!
We talked last week about additional assignments to your holiday research on animals. I gave you a list of extraordinary animals. You will need to research another animal. You will then compare/contrast the two animals using a Venn Diagram. You can get a blank Venn at:
1. Your Venn Diagram should show all the research you gathered for your two animals.
2. Use the information you gathered and fill in the differences of the 3 animals and their similarities.
3. Once you complete your Venn, you will begin to create a script.
4. You will use that to help you create your podcast, vodcast, slideshow or digital book.
Here is a podcast script format, but you can also use this to outline your video script as well. We will be talking about it in class. Your scripts should be done by January 10, 2011
Shoot for a show length of 10-12 minutes. Keep each topic moving, and limit to 2-3 minutes. Use guests to break up the tone of your shows. Use musical backgrounds (known as)
Show Outline
Here's an example of a show outline:
- Show intro (who you are, what you're going to talk about): 30 seconds
- Intro music jingle (repeat for each show so listeners identify the jingle with your show): 30 seconds
- Topic 1: 3 minutes
- Topic 2: 3 minutes
- Interlude (music or break): 30 seconds
- Closing remarks (thank audience, thank guests, talk about the next show): 2 minutes
- Closing music jingle (suggest same as Intro music jingle): 2 minutes
Your podcast script should have:
Intro (5Ws: who, what, when, where, why)
Discussion
Topic 1 (first animal similarities/differences)
Topic 2 (second animal " ")
Closing - Wrap up your discussion about 2 animals.
