Weekly Blog Post - Asteroid Impact in "Alabraska"

Image
Summary:  During this week, I worked on a few worksheets for our Asteroid Impact which was in the imaginary state of Alabraska. When we did this, I calculated the general area for Alabraska, in which the length was 150 km and the width was 230 km, giving me a sum of 34,500 km 2 . After that, I compared the size of Alabraska to the size of the multiple caverns my group and I decided to establish underneath the surface of Alabraska. After that, I scaled my general map of Alabraska, including the military base, and then decided that our cavern was not large enough to house 10 million people. EDP - Generate Possible Solutions Over the course of the week, I generated possible solutions by completing a worksheet and making graphs to figure out how many people would be able to fit into our classroom. After that, I used the information to help me. I generated more possible solutions when I came up with different scenarios to help us decide on more areas in case our first...

Blog Post - "Argumentative Essay" (9/14/17 - 9/15/17)

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY Do you feel groggy in the morning? If you answered yes to this question, then are you a teenager? If you answered yes to this question, then note that you're not the only one — scientists have concluded that getting less sleep in the morning puts teenagers (and of course, other individuals outside the age group) at higher risk of traffic accidents. It has also been proven that sleep deprivation can result in poor academic scores. A National Sleep Foundation Poll has concluded that 28% of the teenagers who took the poll have fallen asleep in class due to lack of sleep. The reason? Early school times! Most schools have their start times before 8:30, which means that most kids wake up at around 7:00-8:00 to get ready for school, and this is just excluding the extra curriculum activities that start before school hours. For example, I do Zero-Period Band and the start time is at 7:10. This means that I have to get up at 6:00 to get ready — cram in the ho...

Project Blog - Sound Amplification

   Summary: During this week, I presented my Sound Amplification project (above) and wrote reflections and feedback for the other groups presenting their projects. I also practiced my lines and memorized them so I would be ready for yesterday (which was when we were supposed to present our projects). In response to Jennah's query , I wish you told us why you replaced four cups with three... We decided to replace four cups with three because the base wouldn't be big enough for four cups and the "small cups" were not actually all that small - they weren't like the itty-bitty paper cups you'd get at the orthodontist's office. We also decided to draw on the large cup to place them and decided there would be no way to get the four cups into the large cup without breaking the large cup. Three cups seemed to fit, so we decided to go along with that idea for our second design of the cup.   Backward-Looking: What process did you go through to produce this...
