Computer Lab Response

           Today in computer lab , we were learning about different career choices. I learned from an online quiz that would do best with an artistic job.  Also, I learned that when I'm in college, I would spend about $1,336, per month. IN the end, I learned about a job called a play-writer that I now want to do when I grow up.

Science Lab Response

Today in Science Lab, we learned about how pollution affects a species over time. So as an example, we used plastic teddy bears, some red and some blue. The red ones represent the alive bears, and the blue represent the pollutants. We put ten red bears in the bucket and two pollutants. Our group randomly paired up the bears and we saw what he pairs were. If you had two reds in a pair, they were alive. If you had two blue bears, the next round you had to add another pollutant in the next round. But if you have one of each, the red bear you have dies. IN the first generation, not many died because there werent many pollutants., but in the next few generations, you have to start out with more pollutants representing that pollution grows each couple of years. In conclusion, I learned that if our world doesn't stop the pollution from being so exposed to the wild, many animals could go extinct like they did in our game.

The Lightning Thief

                                      In the book, The Lightning Thief, by Rick Riordon, Percy Jackson, age 12, is on a quest for something terrible missing in Olympus. He joins two of his closest friends, and battles some really scary monsters. If I were him, I would be sleeping with one eye open. 

Today in science lab, we experimented on a turkey feather with oil droplets to represent a bird in an oil spill. Each person from our group got to pick a material to use that's we would test and see if it would clean, or suck up the oil. I learned that pet soap really works on removing oil, and that corn starch does not suck it up. This was a really fun experience that I I like in the lab, but I don't think I would be very good at it in real life.

Computer Lab

           Today in computer lab, we did many fun and educating games from Bitesized maths. The first game we played was to help us learn our shapes, such as octagons, circles, and quadrilaterals. I our second game, we learned about the nets of 3D shapes, and it made it a lot . Both of these games included a quiz to take afterward, and as I took the test everything made sense. So overall,  today in computer lab, I reviewed my geometryy, which was something I wasn't that comfortable with until I used Bitesized maths.

                                                 

      Just imagine the feeling of having to let your friends, and family go into an arena to dye.... This is the same feeling that the city of District Twelve has felt for many years.  Once the people of the city enter the given area, the last one standing is the winner. If you read this book, you will learn, who goes in, and who makes it out.

Computer Lab Response

          Today in computer lab, we prepared for the CST testing by going to Bite sized maths. We first studied different charts and how to organize them. For our second activity we learned about mean, median, mode, and range. As our final activity, we learned about probability and how to calculate it.   So along with the educational factor, today's lesson was very fun as well.

Eyelash Contest!!!!

My Brother had a bet that his eyelashes were longer than mine, so we took pictures of our selves to see...

This is mine:

This is my brothers...

This is him when he found out that he won... :)

Computer Lab Response

                           This week in science lab, we learned about the different elements of energy most commonly used. We had different stations to go to, and used our five minutes to copy what we learned, down on a sheet used for each group. I learned that wind over all seemed to be the safest, and easiest to use. Also, overall, the most risky, and unhealthy energy source is nuclear energy. This lab was a fun, and fast way of learning all of the facts that I need to know about the energy used all over the world.

                                  " I've found the last golden ticket!" exclaims Charlie Bucket, a poor boy from England. In the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl, you will read about a young boy that explores a hounourmus, cooky, chocolate factory! This chocolate factory has been tempting Charlie for years on end as he passes the factory every day. Mr.Wonka, the owner of the factory, sent out five golden ticket all over the world to visit his factory. You will get sucked into this book, and find yourself wondering, "What are those people thinking?"

Computer Lab Response

                         In computer lab this week, we discovered new websites to teach ourselves on! I personally learned where worm's go for the winter  http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/where-do-worms-go-in-winter/. Since they die of the cold, they lay eggs is sacks to keep them from freezing, so they will hatch in the spring!  I also learned about this other interesting website, http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ called Grammar Girl. On there I learned if impact is a verb,  and it's really a proper noun.  These were my two favorite websites that I went on this Thursday in computer lab, but I learned a lot as we tested these fun, educational websites.

Throne of Fire

 

               In the book, The Throne of Fire, by Rick Riordan, this book is thoroughly exciting throughout the whole story. A girl named Sadie, and her brother Carter, are in search for the scrolls of the Sun God "Ra". When found, they will "awaken" Ra so he can defeat the evil Apophis from "swallowing" the sun.  This story tells about true Egyptian gods, and makes the story much more interesting.
