Part II SCIENCE + tree project
CELL MODEL + Micro model
Form a model of how life forms. (Lightwaves chapter). Participants may select terms to describe activity at a quantum level.
CHEMISTRY + Elements/compounds project
Outline elements and a variety of visual arrangements (tables of elements). Learn element properties, how they may be useful. Learn about compounds, research elements and compounds, make presentation.
- Elements video (Elements chapter, Compounds chapter) Table of elements
BIOLOGY + Tree diagram of species project
Each participant may select a species of any kind, related to the students name maybe, and learn about the species body structure, habitat, predators, prey, how it moves, how it reproduces. This video outlines general phenotype shifts species went through as we evolved from bacteria.
- Organisms (Organisms chapter) Twelve elements found in all living organisms
- Phenotypes (Phenotypes chapter, Science notebook) Overview of evolution
Part III Math
GEOMETRY + Projective plane project
Draw selected species in biology using geometric shapes. Geometry offers an arrangement of planes to use as a template for geometric illustrations. Constants and radius formulas, constants in the universe.
- Constants (Constants, Energy equations, Speed of light, Chords, Harmonics chapter) The speed of light through air, water, and living organisms
- Planes (Planes chapter) Polar, projective and other useful geometric planes
- Radius formulas (Radius formulas, AB formulas) Shapes and solids connected by a single line
ARITHMETIC + Measuring the speed of growth of plants
ALGEBRA + Glass half empty or glass half full
Permaville offers a glass half full version of Algebra. This version involves a series of formulas that can be created using the number 1.61… ~1.6 is the only number that when squared equals itself plus one. This single number offers multiple ways to separate 1 into parts. Which brings forth a shift in a way one sees the world.
- Here’s a video on variable formulas, talking about if equal relationships exist.
- A video on 1.6 formulas. Other algebra info: Algebra equations, Plotting points, XY planes, Curves, Shapes and solid conic sections chapters.
STATISTICS + Identify and monitor farm metrics
- Logs: Seed, field, harvest, fish/insect/creature. Introduction to the PERM
- Here’s a long-term plan: Permaville Plan A plan to apply a new mathematical and scientific model
More info on statistics: Statistics, Plan, Range, Routine, Story
FARM TEND PROGRAM
Students may tend a larger plot of land each season to gain practical experience learning about all that is living within each of the plot. Students may cultivate the space to create as many diverse creatures as possible each season. Schools may connect with landowners to provide plots of land for students, of which the size of the plot may determined by the age of the student.
- Kindergarten and first grade 1×1, 1 square meter
- Second grade 2×2, 4 square meters
- Third grade 3x3m, 9 square meters
- Fourth grade 4x4m, 16 square meters
- Fifth grade 5x5m, 25 square meters
- Sixth grade 6x6m, 36 square meters
- Seventh grade 7x7m, 49 square meters
- Eighth grade 8x8m, 64 square meters
- Ninth grade 9x9m, 81 square meters
- Tenth grade 10x10m, 100 square meters
- Eleventh grade 11x11m, 121 square meters
- Twelfth grade 12x12m, 144 square meters
Upon completing this farm program, participants may be recruited by Registered Farms. Participants may tend the plot as desired and maintain a seed, field, harvest, insect or creature log. Students may create some form of presentation describing their plot. Logs may include stories, lessons learned, ideas for next season, comparisons to previous season, and any logs of what was grown. Landowners may receive up to half of sales from produce on student plots.
TRAVEL PROGRAM
Participants may be encouraged to travel to new places. Length of recommended length of trips is based on age, for example:
- 11 years old, 1 day/night
- 12 years old, 2 days
- 13 years old, 7 days
- 14 years old, 14 days
- 15 years old, 21 days
- 16 years old, 30 days
- 17 years old, 45 days
- 18 years old, 60 days
- 19 years old, 90 days
- 20 years old, 120 days
- 21 years old, 180 days
- 22 years old, 240 days
- 23 years old, 360 days
- 24 years old, 720 days
Travel presentations + Upon returning from trips, participants may make presentations about their trip to their school or farm. May post online. Schools and farms may select outstanding travel presentations to offer at festivals. The farm school and travel program may provide experience tending land, nurturing species and strong social skills from meeting people on trips.
