Summary: This week we learned about the great macromolecules. There are 4 macromolecules that make us up. 1. is nucleic acids. Those are your DNA and RNA. 2. is your carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are your carbs such as spaghetti, rice and sugar. 3. is lipids. Lipids are the fats,waxes,and oils. Then last of all is the Proteins.  Proteins are the  meats like fish,chicken,and beef.
This is what i've learn so let's get right into the S&EP.

S&EP #1: This week we have also been asked lots of questions based on photosynthesis. My class had trouble remembering all the facts of photosynthesis. We got challenged to remember how photosynthesis works and learned lots of new things. One of the coolest things I learned this week that my friend actually knew was that plants are any color but green. It refracts the colors it can't absorb. Those are a few things I had to remember this week and a bit of what I learned now let's get into the XXC.

XXC: Patterns: Science is filled with patterns. That is why it makes sense things can be consistent and inconsistent. This week we saw patterns within the macromolecules. First of all the most common pattern seen among each macromolecules. They are filled with at least one of these elements. Carbon, Hydrogen,Oxygen,Nitrogen and Phosphates. Each of the macromolecules have at least more then one of these and they usually come in 3 or more. That is a pattern amongst all of the macromolecules and is a great example of a pattern. That is a bit of what I have learn and GOODNIGHT

Summary: During this project I have learned a lot. The world of cells are a lot wider than I have ever imagined. Everything has role that aids to the function of life. Now that I you have heard about my life changing experience lets talk Ribosomes. Ribosomes are only the best organelle in the entire cell
 ( Well it's not actually a orginelle). Ribosome make most of our appearance. They make hair,skin,bones,and nails. Pretty important right well there is more. They also are very small and either free rome or the cling to other organelles. I know what you're thinking wow why would we want a clingy president, well isn't it better then a presents that takes up most of the cell.Nucleus (cough cough). Alright then those are just a few things I learned.

Backward Looking: Before I started I actually had no clue that a ribosome was a thing. Actually before this project I was not really aware of the other organelles in the cell and their importance.  I did know though about the vacuole and little about the basic ones. Some of the basic things I knew were the cell membrane, nucleus, cell wall and a bit more. Ya before this i was kind of blind of the world of cell land.

Inward Looking: I am very proud in my group's work. Why wouldn't I be we thrived through this project and overcame  a lot during this project. The one piece that I really enjoyed making and watching my video. it was wonderful to make and be a part of. Even if people don't vote us i think my group did our very best. Isn't that what it's all about.

Outward Looking: I feel like we didn't really work like other groups. From what I have seen yes lots of people had the same idea for a video like the  newscast but ours was very different. We had a creative spin to our work. We were not just a team but we were the ribosomes. I feel like we took almost too much pride in our group. Yes things may be similar in the end to other peoples but the way our group worked was what made this project.

Forward Looking; if I could have done this project over I would have changed a bit. The main thing I would have done was check the rubric more. I feel like that could bring us down a bit because we didn't really check if we had it all. I also wish that I would have know that we had to rate the websites with the cites. Over all I have to say that I just should have been more accurate with the rubic.

Summary: The Ribosome is sure to win. Ok i'm not trying to be cocky or anything but from the facts I have learned this week I think they are just too important to deal without.I have figured out that they make your skin,bones, hair,nails, and tissues. when I figured that out I couldn't believe it, we would be a like blob fish without ribosome.One thng I would like to do though after im done with everything id like to learn a little more about my compition. This is what I have learned and what I want to learn.

SP6: This week I got to help explain the importance of my organelle. I even got to prove the greatness of it. I responded to 2 comments and explained why ribosome do those things. Another thing that I did this week was make my posters for the campaign. I got to explain through a simple visual how great my organelle is. I think that's so great because not everyone wants to take lots of time to understand the importance of the ribosome. Those are just a few things that made me construct explanation.

XXC: Now this is the point where I just tell you all about the ribosome. I have already told you what  the ribosome is like. Ok  first the quantity well they may have the highest amount of them compared to all the organelles in the entire cell. Alright here we go, they have 10 million ribosome in just one cell. Now that you know just how many they really are let's get into the scale of a ribosome, well they reason why so many can fit is because they happen to be the smallest of all the organelles in the cell. That is just a bit of what I have learned and I hope to get to know more.

Cell Wars Part 2

Summary:
The Ribosome is actually very important to the cell. I don't know why I didn't used to know what it was. For instance, the ribosome is an organelle in the cell that creates protein. So this week I had to see what protien really does.I learned that proteins actually help make the tissues and the organs in your body. That not all they also grow your hair. Another thing I learned this week was that we can't do this job alone. The golgi body is actual what " packages" and send the proteins, that is why we haven't smeared them because we can't function without them. These are just a few things I have have learned this week about our wonderful organelle.
SP3: This my team and I conducted investigation a bit this week. You see we didn't always understand the information we had gotten. For example we didn;t really know what proteins do. So we had to investigate a little deeper into the meaning behind the first coat. Now I am very confident about our organelle because it important. I had to investigate this though and had to dig deeper into what was just their.
XCC Scale, proportion and quantity: The ribosome are very interesting. Unlike most of the organelles they come in large quantities. This is because they actually float around freely mostly. They also sometimes go onto the other organelles. This must sound crazy but this can work because of their scale. The actually are very small. They even are the smallest organelle in the entire cell. Unlike the nucleus and cytoplast they don't take much space. That's what I took from this week.

Cell Wars

Summary:  The campaign of the century. These are the parts of the cells. All  life has cells so this campaign is very important. Normally the nucleus ( the brain of the cell) is in power, but it's up to us to elect a new leader of the cell. We got  assignment the Ribosome. It's a very important part of the cell because it provided protein for the cell and without that the cell would surely perish. Ribosomes are actually found in a great abundance in the cell. They are small yet very important.

S&EP: 
Arguing from evidence: This week we argued from evidence will working on the odd one out worksheet. In this worksheet we had to find something that was unlike the rest. This sparked scientific arguments. For example, we asked " What makes something alive?" For this we had lots of different answers because we had to remember first what are organism that are alive in the world. One of the questions asked find the odd one out horse muscle, leaf of a plant, sugar. We had to ask ourselves is sugar alive, why or why not? This sparked very interesting conversation which were very informational.

XCC: Patterns:  When we worked on the odd one out worksheet I saw lots of patterns. These patterns are the ones that define life verses lifeless. A  question that we had was find the odd one out horse muscle, leaf, sugar. At the end we said sugar but the way we got there was more interesting. First we had to ask What do all living things have in common. They have the same pattern to each and every one. For example a human grows, breaths, reproduces and gains nutrients but so does a plant. Then we started looking at the patterns between life. We all were made of cells which had different parts to them. Throught this activity we saw lots of patterns and shared characteristics.

Food Creation

http://ghirardelli.bayareacreativeservices.com/sites/default/files/about/chocolate_steps.jpg
This is the way they make there chocolate.

This week we have been going deeper into the process of food creation. We have learned the steps it takes to make foods. It is a lot more complicated then you'd expect. We also are learning this so we can determine how each step wastes. We have talked about apples as a class and in our group talked about chocolate. I have learned a lot about the way my food is made.

This week we analyzed data. So to start we had all the steps how apples get to up all in a random order. Then we had to organize them in the way we though they should go. After that we all moved clockwise to see other people's work. I really liked seeing other work because it should me somethings I had missed and I would have not noticed if it was not pointed out. Then the next day we used what we knew about the process and did it with another food. We have done it with chocolate. This week I learned how my food is made and some way we waste it.

This week we used patterns. I say we used patterns because every food you have has the same pattern it goes through. From apples to chocolate they still have the same process. I noticed this the most when I started to do the process with the chocolate.I could see that it went though the same steps as the apple just done differently.This week I really have noticed the pattern in all foods.

This week I was a Creator learner.
