Post eight Module One (Flex of stick)

Cite used: https://www.hockeystickman.com/blogs/hockey-stick-alerts/40761601-the-truth-about-hockey-stick-flex

One of the most controversial discussions in hockey, when cutting a hockey stick shorter does it really affect the flex? After viewing this site, I have a fuller understanding of this question. For example longer the stick= more leverage, therefore easier to flex. Although smaller the stick harder it is to flex because closer the hands are. This site will be extremely helpful as it demonstrates the physics of weight transfer from body to stick. It also is extremely informative and extremely relatable, definitely recommend to others!

Module One Post Ten (Tap and Productions)

For my tenth website, I have found a website that talks about how tap dancing started as African slaves who were to work on the ships deck. When they had nothing to do when they were not working, they started to dance around to stay fit and exercise. This website also talks about the how people incorporate other styles of dance in. They have also added in acting to make larger productions that have tap in them to make them more entertaining to watch. I think this website can be helpful for those who need inspiration about production ideas and want to try to add tap into any of their productions that they have already thought of.

Module One Post Nine (History/origin of How Tap was Popularized)

My ninth post is a little bit more about the origin of tap for those who just want to know how tap dance started in someone else’s words. This website talks about the how before, one specific man named William Henry Lane aka Master Juba, the first “black” man to ever be allowed to perform in front of “white” people before the “black” people were even allowed to perform. it also talks about other people who were famous for tap dancing, for example William Henry Lane (Master Juba), Bill Robinson (Bojangles), Fayard and Harold (the Nicholas Brother’s). All of these people were the people who made popularized tap in America. This website is a very good website for someone who just wants to know a little bit of the history of tap in a paragraph. I think this website is helpful for people because then they can find another activity that were started not only by Caucasian people and could be from “black” people.

Module One Post Eight (Steps)

For my eighth website, I have found a website that explains how to do certain steps with a written example and a video as an example just in case some people don’t understand. The steps that they explained were shuffles, ball changes, buffalo’s, toe-heel heel-toe. I think this website is very helpful because for those who just want to see how to do a simple step and practice until they understand it. They can also just watch the video as an example if they really don’t understand the explanation.

Module One Post Seven (Basic Tap Information)

For my seventh website, I found a website that goes step by step about what to do if someone wants to learn how  to tap dance at a dance studio. First, they start with talking about what kind of tap dancing styles there were, for example there were hoofers. Hoofers would always aim to use all the parts of their foot to make sounds so that there is more variety of sounds. One of the more common styles of tap dancing is classical tap. The people who do classical tap, they use simpler tap steps but elaborate, they use their arms and upper body to add in some ballet and jazz into either their routine or combination. Throughout the website, it explains what to do if you are going to start tap dancing. To start off, you need to get a pair of tap shoes that will fit you which you can go to a dance store in a convenient location close to where you live and try on some sizes. In order to have a comfortable fit in your new tap shoes, it is recommended that you tie the laces tight so that they don’t slide off your feet. Classes to take to start tapping, go for about an hour and usually start off with warming up and then getting to know the basic and then build off of that to make more complicated combinations. I think this website will help many people who want to try something new and challenge themselves because at the beginning, tap is not easy, especially when you have to learn how to make proper sounds.

Module One Post Seven (Gravity)

This website explains the force of. Gravity is the force that makes two objects pull towards each other. We are pulled toward the center of the Earth because of the gravitational pull caused by its mass. The more mass the object have, the more gravity it will have. This is why heavier people are pulled harder to the ground. Planets orbit around huge stars because the stars have more mass and gravity. An example is the Earth orbiting around the sun. The Earth stays in the “track” that goes around the sun because of the gravitational pull the sun has towards it’s middle. This website is a good source for learning about gravity and how it works.

An animation of gravity at work. Albert Einstein described gravity as a curve in space that wraps around an object—such as a star or a planet. If another object is nearby, it is pulled into the curve.

Module One Post Seven [Goal tending in Soccer]

I think goal tending is one of the most important and hard positions in soccer because you are guarding such a big net. I think that angles has a lot of play when it comes to goal tending. The goaltender has to follow the line of shot when a player is shooting on him. In my opinion the person who is shooting against the goalie is always looking for an angle but the goalie can narrow his or her’s shooting angle by creeping out of his box https://www.mathedpage.org/conics/soccer/

Module One Post Six [Math in soccer]

So as you may have already known in my other post that I love and play soccer. I really want to focus on the angles when you are shooting and if you need to be on angle to score. I want to experiment on doing this in the near future. I think when professional soccer players are scoring goals they don’t just kick the ball randomly and hope that it goes in. They must be on a certain angle to score whether its top right, top left, bottom right or bottom left. https://prezi.com/skroy6i6ebar/angles-and-soccer/ 

Module One Post Ten (Mathematics In Music In Movies)

This video sums up the mathematics in the music that is placed into a film or movie. Without music or sound effects the movie would be more boring. There is counting, rhythm, scales, intervals, patterns, symbols, harmonies, time signatures, overtones, tone, pitch and much more to make a piece of music sound right.
