Module 1 Post 14 [ Augmented Fifths ]

Augmented Fifths

The augmented fifth is the fifth interval of a scale. There are 3 types of fifths. Let’s use C major as an example, the fifth note or dominant in the C major scale is G. A perfect fifth for C major is G, diminished fifth for C major is G flat and finally the augmented fifth is G#. An augmented fifth is an interval that has been widened from the perfect fifth. (A turns to A#, B turns to B# etc.) I will use this page to go more in depth to fifths.

Module 1 Post 13 [ Triads ]

Triad

A triad chord has three notes: a root, a third and a fifth. The root depends on the scale name. Lets use C major as an example, the root would be C. The third can be either a minor third or a major third, if it was a minor third I would use E flat. I will use E as the third. Next is the fifth. There are many types such as a diminished fifth, augmented fifth, and perfect fifth. For simplicity’s sake I will use the perfect fifth of C major: G. If I put all these notes together, C,E and G, this will make a major triad. If the notes were C, E flat and G, it would be a minor triad. I will use this page to gain more knowledge on triads.

Module 1 Post 12 [ Degree ]

Degrees

In music there are degrees, just like in math there are numbers. In total there are 7 degrees: the tonic, the supertonic, the mediant, the subdominant, the dominant, the submediant and the leading tone. All of these make up a normal scale. Lets use the C Major scale as an example. The tonic is C, the supertonic is D, the mediant is E, the subdominant is F, the dominant is G, the submediant is A, the leading tone is B and the scale ends on the tonic, C. These combinations of notes make up the C major scale. I will use this page to memorize the scale degrees.

Module 1 Post 11 [ The Diatonic Scale]

Diatonic Scale

The diatonic scale has 7 different “modes”. Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian. Ionian scales start on the tonic note (C major Ionian scale starts from C to C), Dorian scales start on the super tonic (C major Dorian starts from D to D), Phyrgian scales start from the mediant (C major Phyrgian starts from E to E), Lydian starts from the subdominant ( C major Lydian starts from F to F), Mixolydian starts from the dominant ( C major Mixolydian starts from G to G), Aeolian starts from the submediant ( C major Aeolian starts from A to A) and Locrian starts from the leading tone (C major Locrian starts from B to B). This is sort of like how math has numbers. I will use this page to memorize all the diatonic modes.

Module One Post Thirteen [How technology has evolved]

How Technology Has evolved

This website is “The Washington Post” and it is very helpful because it has very helpful images, diagrams and information. 1985 – 2002 was the era of tapes to watch videos, 2003 – 2014 was the era of DVDs to watch videos and 2015 + is the era of digital videos. In 2006 94% of homes bought DVDs. On the internet it was different. Until 1993 no households had internet. 1994 – 1999 55% of households had internet. From 2000 – 2005 34% of households had internet but it was slow. 2006 + 86% of households have internet. There are many more examples this website provides such as music. Down below are how phones have developed over 30 years.

Module One Post Twelve [Nanotechnology in Road Building]

Nanotechnology in Road Building

This website is a helpful website because it tells people about how roads can be used for both environment and human purposes. The nanotechnology used in roads can be used for the protection of the earth beneath the roads so the environment can be preserved and not damaged. This website acknowledges the cons of nanotechnology in roads. Normal roads use micro tech so it may be hard to scale it down to nano.Image result for highway wallpaper hd

module one post thirteen (field positions)

this website explains the different positions in further depth than the last post (post twelve) but still adds onto my last post. (post twelve) This page also explains the different rules between men and women’s lacrosse.

It will help me to understand the positions in further depth meaning exactly what percent of the field they can play on and the angles they stand depending on their position. It will also help me compare men against women’s field lacrosse rules and positions.

module one post twelve (divisions and rules)

this website states the different positions on the field and was they do. Basically explaining the job of each person on the field.

It is related to math because of the different positions and amount of people on the field. How far up the field each position can go, ex. defenders can only go up 2/3 ways up the field.

Module One Post Eleven [CPU and GPU]

CPU and GPU

This website explains the important differences between CPUs and GPU’s. It explains that GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit and CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. They are very important for computers, especially CPU. GPU is used for video games or animations. Not all computers have GPU because they might not have a graphics card. GPU is also a lot bigger than CPU. Overall this website is pretty good because it displays a lot of examples to make things more clear. GPU and CPU are very important in both the creation of computers and coding.Image result for Computer background
