  Cord Wood & MC Dynamite

  Posted by profmag on October 22, 2024 at 2:31 am

  For Tues AM, let’s go measure the stacked wood at the wood shed and figure the cordage (how many cords) we have:

  1. Everyone should have paper and something to right with.
  2. They should draw a cube using one of the two methods we taught last week.
  3. They should write in feet the measurements of each part of the stack (BONUS: account for the section towards the middle that was not filled).
  4. They will then bring their measurements home and calculate (with help) what the cordage of wood we have.

  The important thing is for them to get that W x L x H = Volume and that you can reliably use measurements along three edges to calculate volume.

  To test there knowledge, set up a LAN world in MC (something that would be fun to blow up). Give each learner a volume for a cube they need to create in TNT. When the learner gets the calculations correct and creates a correct cube, they may detonate the TNT.
