Similarities & Differences

This week for Inquiry Mrs Anderson has set LS2 a challenge which is to compare and contrast three different towers from around the world. This was a bit challenging because instead of a normal two Venn diagram we were to make a three Venn diagram. I have worked collaboratively with Jeremiah and Sanujan. The three towers we compared and contrasted was the Auckland Sky Tower, Eiffel Tower, and the Sky Tree in Japan. I learnt that the tallest tower out of all of them is the Sky Tree being at 2,080 ft. I have also learnt that the Sky Tree cost 65 billion Japan Yen dollars which is a lot of money. The Auckland Sky Tower is an amazing monument in Auckland I've learnt that it has 3 main decks which is the Sky Deck (highest), Main Observation level and the Sky Cafe. Panmure Bridge was very lucky because we were given an opportunity to visit the sky tower and see the amazing view of Auckland. Did you know that if the Sky Tower is decorated blue it symbolizes the Auckland Blues and the New Zealand Warriors.

Similarities & Differences - Auckland Viaduct Harbor Bridge & Golden Gate Bridge

Today we have created a Venn diagram which compare and contrasts the similarities and differences of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Auckland Viaduct Harbour Bridge. The similarity which most people will not think of is that they are both built in Westernised nations. As Ofa (my partner) and I searched for information we found three similarities and fourteen differences. The Golden Gate Bridge is equal to 27 of New Zealand's viaduct harbour bridges as the viaduct bridge is 330 ft and the Golden Gate Bridge is 8,981 ft.
