Introduction.
Acquaintance with Fantasy City |
Hello!
We are very happy to greet you again on the pages of our workbook.
Let’s remember our assistants, the characters,
who are ready to take part in the new adventures together with us.
|
|
Who knows lots of interesting problems and can solve them? |
|
|
Who can be both big and small, black and white, warm and cold? |
|
|
Who can assemble and disassemble everything? |
|
|
? |
The problems surround us like the city where we live. In some cases the source of a problem can be very simple properties of the systems. This is what happened to the size of the city walls, which had surrounded our cities in the ancient times. It is clear, that the main purpose of the city walls is to protect safely as many people as possible. Recollect now the properties, which are characteristic for a city wall: height, length, width, and shape. Every property brings the problems, that are necessary to be solved.
Height: The wall must be high
to protect people, and short to be built easier.
Solution – the wall is built toothed.
Besides, in some places the walls have towers, which are higher than the
level of the whole wall.
Width: The wall must be thick,
not to be easily broken, and thin, not to occupy too much space inside
the city.
Solution – the city walls are built thick
and empty inside, so that the space between the walls can be used.
Length and Shape: The length of
the city wall must be as long as possible, to embrace large territory,
and must be as short as possible, to be easily built.
Solution may be different. It is possible,
for example, to add to the city wall the watch-towers. It’s possible
to build, if necessary, a new wall around a single city wall.
Different shapes of city walls may be used. Rectangular shape was used, for example, in Ancient Rome. This wall was easy to build up with the city growth. A round wall is more advantageous from the territorial point of view. Such a shape was used in ancient Moscow, in the course of time a few rows of city walls were built. The circle shape of these walls has defined the schemes of Moscow roads and subway.
The length of the wall line is 18 cm [in the both figures].
Count the little squares in the walls.
Which territory is bigger: in the square or in the
circle?
Topic 1. Card Index - First Step Towards Creativity
|

“…We made a card index: three card for
each animal – pink, blue and white. The white card is a “form”, stating
where a species was purchased, in what condition it entered the Zoo and
so on. The pink card is a medical history, including all information
about an animal’s health and treatment. The blue card is the information
about behavior. It seems that the blue one is the most important
card, because it contains records of breeding games, pregnancies, territorial
marks and lots of other information…
…Though the tapirs have been bred in the Zoo for a long time, three factors that we have discovered by experiment were not mentioned in any of the books from my home library. First - that it is nearly impossible to determine the term of pregnancy:- a foetus can not be felt. Second, the milk appears only after delivery. And third, the mom feeds the baby lying. Besides, a good natured Clodette allowed us to take milk samples and send them to be analyzed. If in the future any female tapir in our Zoo somehow has no milk, we’ll know exactly what mixture to make. All the data was written on the cards and published in our special report.” Jerald Darrell: "Catch A Colobus For Me", Moscow, “Mir”, 1985, pp. 29-32. |
