Project Blog_"Cell Wars" 9]10//16


  • Summary
Link
     This week in science we completed a project called cell wars that we have been doing for 2 weeks.  What you had to do was chose a organelle, mine was the cell wall, and you had to say why it is the best throughout all organelles in cells then best explain that on a poster and video.  What I learned from doing this project is that most organisms have a disease.  Another thing I learned was that the cell wall is created by this sugar called cellulose.  Also that the mitochondria gives humans their energy.  The last thing that I learned is that the cell wall determines what comes in and out of each cell and determines the plants actual shape. 

  • Backward-Looking
      The things I knew before this project started was some organelles in the plant cell. Some of the things that I knew that are in the plant cell are the mitochondria, cell wall, cell membrane, and chloroplast. Another thing I knew was that the chloroplast helps the plant do the photosynthesis. Another thing I learned was that without organelles many or all living things would be dead. The last thing I knew was that only living things have organelles and cells.


  • Inward-Looking
     I feel good about my piece of work. I feel this way because I feel my group did everything correct because we followed the rubric, tried our best, and we collaborated. One thing I liked about this project was that it allowed everyone to be creative. I liked that because it made the project more fun.  One thing I disliked was that I feel on my video we could've had a little more facts. One part of the project I enjoyed was the video part of the project. I enjoyed this because it was the most fun part of the project.


  • Outward-Looking

      I'd give my groups project  an A or an A-. I'd give it this grade because I feel we did almost everything very well but I feel we could've done it a little better. For example our poster we did everything correct but I feel we could've added a little more facts and been a little more descriptive. Another example is our video I feel we could've added a little more facts. And my last example is our cite it document, I feel we could've tried a little harder because we didn't really treat as an assignment we treated as it wasn't even worth any points. I feel that if we did all these things we would've had an amazing project that is 7th or 8th grade standard.


  • Forward-Looking

     One thing I would change is trying to make video be edited a little better. Another thing I would change is make my video a little more entertaining. I would make our poster look a little better and be more professional. Also I would add some more facts in my poster and video. The last thing I would change is taking some more time on my cite it document and give a little different scores because of that.

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

Image
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 ...

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...
