Volume

Perimeter and area are for 2D shapes and volume are for 3D shapes.                                                              Volume is the amount of space in an object.                                                                                                      You can work out the volume of something you just have to multiply the length, width and depth.             For example 5cm x 3cm x 7cm

Maslow's hierarchy of needs

 Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a list of important needs of a human being, at the bottom, there is Physiological needs which is food, air, shelter, sleep and clothing, it is at the bottom because it is the foundation of basic needs. On the very top, there is Self-actualization and there are also a few more before you get to the top, if you want to be at the top of it you need to make sure that you have the others sorted first. Being your best self is a journey, if you're already up there that doesn't mean you can't improve yourself even more.

What makes a good friend?

I think what makes a good friend is when someone cares about you and not just say they care but they show it too, another thing is when you can be vulnerable with someone and they won't say it to anyone else.

A good friend is also someone you can communicate well with and that is willing to listen and someone that is accepting. Fake friends stay for a while but real friend stays for eternity.
