My Circuit 4/23/16



Regular Circuit Link
     My science class had to do a project that involved circuit.  What we had to do for that project was we had to make a parallel or series circuit and then do a paper on our circuit. I chose to do a series circuit and my partner was (you didn't have to have a partner) Ethan.  One thing I learned was that you could make really cool inventions by making a circuit.   Another thing I learned was that for some circuits it is easy to explain to people how the circuit works because the circuit is pretty simple but for some people it is hard because their circuit is very complicated.  I learned is that tin foil is a great tool when using circuits.  Because it is a platform basically it is also great because it can fold so it is good to put around bowls so the bowl (that is now covered) can be used for many different types of circuits.  The last thing I learned was that if you have one battery that has a lot of volts and you put a light on it you could literally burn the light out or burn yourself (but not the fire way).

    One thing I knew before this project started was what are conductors and what aren't conductors or insulators.  The things that are conductors are things that are metallic.  Another thing I knew was what series and parallel circuits are.  A parallel circuit is a circuit that has 2 or more of the same thing that is using or allowing the electricity flow to keep moving and will never touch each other.  A series circuit is a circuit that has 2 or more of the same thing that is using electricity or allowing the electricity flow to move.  The last thing I knew was that if you have 2 or more lights it is better to have the same amount of batteries as lights than just having one battery because then each light won't be too bright because each light is sharing the energy.  Meanwhile with the other circuit with the same amount of batteries as lights, each light will get one full battery's power.

     I feel pretty good about my project because I know it works.  One thing I liked about my project was that me and my partner made it up from our minds and not from looking at pictures and stealing ideas.  I also like that it involved different things being used to make and be actually in the project. I dislike that our circuit wasn't that awesome because I like it a lot more when I make something and it is super cool. The thing I enjoyed about our project was that it didn't take that long to build and to do the paper so we got time to help people and to look at people's project.

     I would give my project an A because I feel I did very well on it. One reason is because it is because our project has everything Ms. Johnson wanted are project to be.  She wanted our projects to be a project that was an invention, that was series or parallel circuit, and that you made it yourself and you didn't by materials from home.  My last reason is on our paper we explained pretty well.

      The thing that I would change if I could do this project all over again is spending more time on the circuit itself. One reason is we could of made it cooler.  We could of used more materials so it could stand out from other peoples projects.  The last thing is we could of made it look nicer and cleaner, because our project is kind of messy.

     So in conclusion I liked this project and I learned a lot from doing it but I feel I could of done better.

Systems In a Human Body Info Paper 10/15/15

Friday and Monday we were writing down the definitions of (I believe) organelles that are part of the urinary and digestive system. Here are some examples of some of the organs my class had to write down the definitions for, the esophagus, the pancreas, the liver, the small intestine, and the large intestine. One thing that I forgot to add is that there was one other paper that had the definitions down for my class because I did not want anybody thinking that my teacher would make us write the definitions on our own out of the blue. The way we knew the definitions was because on Thursday or Friday I forgot which day any ways my teacher showed what every organ that we had to write the definition for what each organ did in order. But the fun part was she assigned every single person in my science class an organ to make it fun. What also helped was that Ms. J went over the answers with my science class also she allowed us to switch our answers if we got them wrong that especially helped

Chemistry Mastery Quest 2 Regrade

The Question I got Wrong Was: Reactions that involve burning are classified as I originally answered decomposition, the correct answer was actually exothermic. I realize now that exothermic is the better answer and was the correct answer. This is because exothermic reactions release heat causing its environment to get warmer. This creates a rise in the temperature which creates the burn. This means that exothermic reactions involve burning. This is why the correct answer was better than my original answer and is the best answer.

Plate Tectonics 3/10/18

Image
Summary:        This week in science we learned about Plate Tectonics. Plates have been on Earth for thousands of years and are consistently moving (very slowly). Through this the Earth can recycle our land, by destroying the old land, and creating new land. These plates are made of rock and are in the lithosphere layer of the Earth. Another thing I know is that there are 3 different type of plate boundaries. Those three types of plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. Convergent boundaries are when two plates collide and their are two different types of convergent boundaries. The two types of convergent boundaries are collisional boundaries and subduction zones. A collisional boundary is when two plates with the same density collide. Because they are the same density the plates buckle and warp. The land then pushes up into jagged peaks forming a mountain. Subduction zones are when one dense ocean plate converges with a lighter con
