Analog and Digital Signals | 3/25/19-3/29/18


Summary:

       Analog technology is a representation or analogy of some type of measurement. Analog technology usually consists of a dial. Some examples of analog technology are a clock and speedometer. Most of the time, when speaking of analog technology, we usually just mean something that is not digital. Digital technology is when information (measurements) are converted to numbers/digits and the numbers are stored or displayed. Sampling is when splitting occurs in regular intervals to convert analog to digital form. Sampling converts continuous signal to discrete signal then reconstruction turns discrete signal back to a continuous signal. Although, this new continuous signal created by digital technology, is not as exact as the original. This is due to how the accuracy of analog signal is more than digital because digital signal is finite.

S&EP 8-Obtain, Evaluate, and Communicate Information:

       This week in science I obtained, evaluated, and communicated information when presenting my musical instrument project. The information that we (my group) obtained our instruments musical note sound waves. We evaluated this information to explain the relationships between the appearance of a wave and the loudness or pitch of it along with the relationship between frequency and pitch. We communicated this information through creating a google draw, an audiovisual presentation, a document that explained our instruments sound waves, and a performance of a song using only our instrument. Lastly, we actually presented all of the things mentioned in the last sentence in front of the whole class.

XCC-Energy and Matter:

       The system that I identified this week that heavily involves energy and matter are analog and digital technologies. Energy, is what these two different technologies both rely on to actually receive information. Without energy, no measurements would be collected by these two technologies for them to actually display. Furthermore, matter is what actually allows these two technologies display information. Without matter, it would be impossible for analog and digital technologies to express the information they receive, even if they actually do collect information with the help of energy. This is how energy and matter are related to analog and digital technologies. As both analog and digital technologies require energy and matter to receive and display information.

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...
