Scientific method Bunny Problem

Summary: This week we have been working on the scientific method cartoon. Mine is about a bunny who gets sick from a food so its owner want to find out what food is bad. It goes thought the scientific method to find out what the food is. She used all the steps and found out that the bad food was and told everyone at here club. So that is what we did this week.

Backward Looking:This week the way I could have improved is  I could have made more squares by making each square smaller. Then  I could have made the cartoon even cooler and I could have explained more. I could have also colored it more.  Like I could ahve made a backround for each square. So those are the two thing I would do.

Inward Looking: This week I really liked the work. It was fun to be able to make up your own problem and answer. I really enjoyed drawing and making this. I do wish I could have done more. For the most part though I thoughth it was good. Next time if I do this I would want to so do some thing that could not happen for real like a zombie attack or something. So I really liked this week.

Outward Looking: I think that even though we all had differnent stories they all had the same process of doing there work. For example we all did are drafts and we all went in the same order. It was really good to do that because you could ask for help if you were stuck on any thing and you could kind of work as a team. So I think we all worked in the same way. I really liked that this week.

Forward looking: As I look at this piece I would say  I would want all my art to look the same. What I mean is I wish all my charectes looked the same in all my pictures. In my opinion they kind of look different as the story goes on. So that is one thing I would change because I kind of think it weird looking that they are different. So that is one of the few things I would change on my project.

Project blog paper towel edition

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Paper_towel.png/276px-Paper_towel.png

This week we did an experiment on paper towels. First we got two different kinds of paper towels. Then we got them wet with two squirts of water. Finally we put pennies on the paper towels and saw which paper towel could hold more when wet. After we did that we counted all the pennies and saw which brand held the most. So this week was great.

When we first started I did not know which brand would be better. I made my hypothesis that the Kirkland brand paper towel would hold 200 more than the other brand. It was really cool because in the end my hypothesis was right. I also did not expect that we needed so many pennies. We used over 400 on the Kirkland brand paper towel and for  the other brand it used over 200.

I liked doing this experiment it was fun. It was a little hard when we did not know what the other brands name was.So that was kind of annoying. The other thing is I was gone for a day so I was behind on some group work. I have to say over all it was a great experiment. It keep me guessing I did not now what would happen. I did not even think we would need so many pennies to break it. So this week my feelings on this experiment was good .

If I were to grade myself I would give are group a 9/10. I would give us this score because one thing that would be hard is if you were to try to run this experiment you would not get the same answers because we did not know what the mysterious towel was. So I think that was kind of bad but for the most part we all did good. We worked together and all had a part in the experiment. So that is why I would give us this score.

If I could do one part over again is I wish we did more than two squirts of water on the towel.I would want to do this because it was so hard to break the towels. It took so many pennies. So if I added more it would make it ten times easier on us. We also would have not had to count as many pennies as we did. It could have helped a little on the time it took to conduct the experiment as well. So that is what I would change.

Summary:

The scentific method method always starts with a question to ask.There are many different order it can go in but it must always start with a question/problem. The scientifiic method can only have one independent variable and can have as many dependent as you want. You can also gather data for your  question and then run your experiment. Then when you are done with the experiment you show your work and tell others.

SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information:

This week I did a sheet called the new scientific method. We thought about the order in which they go and orginized them in the order whe thought they went in. I also completed the Scientific Method Review sheet. We had to use the link and find the answer to the questions. We had about ten links about the subject it was in the order that the scientific method was in. It was hard some times especally when they asked question about the graphs and which one to chose. The reson why we did that was because we here taking about how to orginize data and some times I had it tied between to graph. So this week I was challenged by my work sheets making me think so I liked this week alot.

Goals for 2015-2016

My first goal for this year is to get great grades.The reson why is because last year i got all A's and then in one class I got a B. So this year I want to make sure that does not happen. My second goal for this year is in band  we have back to school night so I hope I do relly well the because there is harder music there that I am playing. So that is one thing I hope goes well.

My third goal is to be able to read a clock well. It can be frustrating not being able to read them at scchool so that is a big goal for this year. Then my fourth goal is to be able to run faster in PE. I do not have much stamina so I lose energy quicker. I want to be able to be a stronger runner where I can run laps faster. So these are they goals I have for this year every year I want to be better.

Small schools

I was surprised that my skype went off in the middle of the call! It never does that! I thought at first that my friend stopped the call yet it was me the whole time.So that is what surprised me.


"This School in Japan Has Six Students." Newsela. Washington Post, n.d. Web. 27 May 2015.

This article reminded me of my friend she use to go to a school with about that many kids in her grade. This I think is sad because you may not be able to be very social. This really shocked me that there is this much of a change. They said they do not have enough kids for a soccer team. This makes me think how great my life really is.

This affects me because it shows how many cities are so small and how smalls schools can be. We are lucky to have a place like adventure . In my opinion they should transfer some kids from schools with more kids in  and bring them there. The last possibility they could do is combined their city with another so there schools would get more business. this really made me think that San Jose is so big with so many people in it that is not a really big problem.

This article shows that this city could possibly soon be completely be gone. This  means that this could happen to other cities too. Then tokyo would get more people coming. This is really saddening. whole city's gone. I wish this will not happen in the future.

I think the author could do many things to expand on this topic. They could make a pie chart of how many people are lost every year. They could also talk about why people chose to stay in the city. These are all thing all thing important. I would really love to know it all.

Hungergames rebelion

Surprise this article surprised me I did not know that people used hungergames to rebel. It is so surprising people even got tickets and gave them out at school to start the rebellion.

"Thailand's Army Arrests Students for Using Salute from "Hunger Games"" Newsela. Los Angeles Times,, 2014. Web. 21 May 2015.

Before i read this I did no even know that hungergames started rebellions.  Before I read this I did not even know that people did this kind of stuff.  I think it is very interesting to here about others and how they take a message because people interpret things different. One thing that I thought was weird is that the army helped instead of the government.

As a learner you can tell though my work I tend to pick things that i have heard of and that is popular. For instance I wanted to read this because it was about hungergames. So if you read this you can learn more about me. That is what you learned about me. I also kind of learned that about myself too.

This article really shows how this book and movie has changed the teens of this country. They are using this symbol from hunger games  to rebel. This affects the community because now you can not watch the movie. I wonder how this has happened. How does this rebellion start?

I wonder if other countries have gotten these similar rebellions.  I read. that China closed the movie. I wonder if other countries have done the same. Will this affect the creation of the next movie of hunger games. Well, that is what i wondered.

Look in to dogs eyes you see love! article blog

 Surprise: I was surprised when I saw a bruise on my leg. I was just getting changed and then I see a new bruise. It like they never stop once one comes another does.That is why I was surprised this week.

Summary: When you do things like pet your dog or play with it it makes things in your body called endorphins or happy feelings come to both you and your dog.

Citation: "Look into Your Dog's Eyes and You'll See Love." Newsela. Science American, 27 Apr. 2015. Web. 14 May 2015. /

Before I read this article I did not know that endorphins even existed. I learned a lot. For instance did you know that when you do thing like pet dogs there and your endorphins levels rise. Endorphins can also be called cuddle hormones. So basically your dog helps you get happier. That is why humans and dogs are so close.

After reading this this made me think that maybe that is why dogs are favored more than other animals. They give of those feelings. Is that possibly why people think puppy are really cute or just because they are. I really do wonder if that is why dogs are so like able. Maybe that is why they are even loyal to people.

This information could make the rate of dog adoption for children go up in the future. For instance parents would want there kids to be happy and have pets that can make them happy. This may also increase the rate of adoption from older people because it can make them happy every day. There are plenty of reason why this article could make people want dogs. They are great.

I subject the author tells the reader if other animals have this effect on the human race. I was thinking do cats have this effect  or hamster?  So I wish they would have explained that. I would have really liked to know. If they did not know than I hope they discover it soon.
