How much do we spend on a shower?

Hello, we want to show you how many times do we take a shower in one day and in one week, and how many time do we spend in the shower on a day and on a week.

Comparative chart between flows of water in our houses

Hi, we are Mariana Zuluaga and Valentina Rivas and we are going to show you what is the measure of the water flow in our houses during one minute, we are goin to tell you too, how we can do this.

Water flow questions

1. To perform the measuring, use a container that shows the volume it can hold (a bottle of soda, or box of milk) and put it in the sink. Let the water running directly to the container for thirty seconds. observe the quantity, and multiply it by two. The result will be the water flow spent every minute.

• What is the measure of the water flow?
• How much time do you spend while taking a shower?
• How many times a day do you do that?
• How many times in a week do you take a shower?
• Propose two word problems

valentina comparative chart

This is my comparative chart in wich i show and tell you some differences between volume and capacity.

What is a cubic meter?

Picture:

This is picture in which we show what is a cubic meter and the essential things we need to know about it.

Cubic meter chart

This is a chart in which we show the cubic meter units and of what they are composed:

DM3

CM3

MM3

and M3

What is volume?

Volume is the amount of space enclosed by a shape, body or object it can be measured by m3, that corresponds to the space that is on the inside part of a cube that have 1 m on one side.The volume is the measurement of space occupied in 3 dimensions. (When you measure around something is the perimeter, when you measure the surface of something is the area and when you measure the inside of something is the volume.

what is Capacity?

Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold in other words, capacity is the volume of a container giving in terms of liquid measurement.Capacity means how much something can hold, words that describe it are cup, pint, quart, gallon and liter. Capacity and volume are an example of two synonymous, because the volume is like the inside of something and the capacity what something can hold.

Valentina's prior knowledge

Hello, this is my prior Knowledge in wich i write all the things i think and know of volume and capacity after of begin this project.

Prior knowledge

This is my prior knowledge in which I explain what is volume and what is capacity, how can they be measured and calculated and also what i think about them.

Introduction

Hi, our names are Mariana Zuluaga and Valentina Rivas, and we are making this blog for you to know and understand that water is a very important natural resource in our lives and that we need to take care of it. Here we are including the work of all the subjects, because all of them are interested in saving the world and all what it give us, we are going to make campaigns, investigations and a lot of things, so that this blog will let you many lessons that make you realize how much do we need it. Math is one of the things that we are going to see here, because we have to calculate how much water do we need in our house, and how much do we waste it, also we are going to learn about volume and capacity, and other units of measurement, but the most important thig is that you learn and reconsider of the damage we are making to the world and the consequences we are going to suffer if we continue acting like this. ¡I hope that you like our blog and that you learn a lot about it!
Thank you
Sincerely: Mariana Zuluaga and Valentina Rivas
