Science and Engineering Practices Quiz Re-Grade 8/25/17

      The first question I got wrong was:      1. Students at their tables read three articles about different communities that have instituted plans to conserve energy. They evaluate the information to create a plan for how their own community can conserve energy and share their plan during Student Exhibition Night.        I originally answered obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information. I realized now looking back at the question that it says that they "evaluate the information to create a plan." Because it says create a plan I realized now that the correct answer was planning and carrying out information. In the question it literally says the answer and I should've of realized that.      The second question I got wrong was:       2. After wondering about how the size of a magnet affects the number of paperclips it can pick up, a group of students develops a procedure that answers their question. They gather data and report back to the class.    

Why I Returned to AdVENTURE 8/21/17

      I returned to Adventure because Adventure prepares you for the future. Adventure has STEM and STEM is the future of the world and by having a background of STEM I will most likely be successful in life. I also returned to Adventure because many of my friends go to Adventure and I didn't want to leave them. Adventure is like a community and I really don't want to leave it.I also wanted to stay at Adventure for track and cross country because I like those sports and I really like the coaches for those sports and the program itself. Another reason I returned was because I really like the system here, it is a fun environment that really wants kids to learn and grow.  One other reason I decided to stay is because at other schools you get new teachers every year but at Adventure you get to know the teachers better and have a better relationship. The last reason I stayed is because I really love the use of technology and how the we do our work. Most of our work is on computers
