Summary -

Describe what you (and your partner did) .

What did you do? Summarize what you did (This should be a paragraph explaining the process (from reading Alice Episode 1 to remixing and creating your enhanced scene).

Our Inanimate Alice remix was about when alice was in the car and when the car crashed she needed to find run back to town, so when she went back, she was so happy that she found a rainbow and walked acrossed it. What I thought we did well was getting the timing right and what I thought we needed to improve on was to make the story make more sense to other people. I think I needed to make our inanimate Alice remix project
Explain which scene your remixed and why you remixed it the way you did.
The scene that our group remixed in the inanimate alice project was the part where the car was driving, then we changed it and it crashed and a person came out and walked back until Alice felt happy when she got happy and felt like she was walking on a rainbow.

Analyze your learning (this needs to be a paragraph):

What did you do well?

What I thought my partner and I did well was making the timing right, so the characters can interact and make sense during the story.

What did you find challenging?

 

What could you improve? Identify 2-3 areas that you could improve on.

Learn

What did you learn about the four modes (text, image, sound and interaction)? How did you use the modes to tell your scene? How do they change the scene. (This needs to be specific with examples from you project. This should be a detailed paragraph).

What are Human Ancestors like?

Apes and chimps form into humans because they look alike and they changed over time, the apes change, until it could evolved as humans. The humans’ ancestors have the same DNA, so there might be other DNA that are also related to the human ancestors that still exist too. Our behavior and characteristics might also change and now we can communicate in many other ways.

The Effect of Sediment Size on Drainage

Posted on by

Problem/Question: How much water can be drained through any sediment size and kind?

 

How do(es): sediment size                 (independent variable)

affect: drainage                          (dependent variable)?

 

Hypothesis:

 

If the sediment size is larger                          (planned change in independent variable),

then it will go and drain faster                                                              (predicted change in dependent variable).

 

I think bigger sediments drain faster                                                          (restate relationship above),

because it’s bigger and the sediments won’t cover every hole that water will drop down in.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       (include background knowledge AND provide references to support your prediction).

 

Variables:

  Method of Management and/or Measurement
Independent (Manipulated)Variable
 Sediment kind
Dependent(Responding)Variable
 Amount of water drained in 10 minutes.
Controlled (Constant)Variable

1.

  The amount of water  16.7 ml

2.

  Graduated cylinder  3

3.

  Same amount of sediments.  20ml for each

4.

  Funnel.

5.

 

Materials List:

 

Include a detailed list of materials (including quantities) needed to carry out the experiment.

 

Resources Quantity   Resources Quantity
1.) Beaker  3 4.) Sediments  20 ml of each sediments
2.) Graduated Cylinder  3 5.) Water  16.7 ml of water for each graduated cylinder
3.) Funnel  3 6.) Timer  3

 

 

Procedure: 

 

Include an easy-to-follow, step-by-step, set of instructions repeating the experiment.

 

  1. Get paper and make a cone-shaped filter, then put it on top of the graduated cylinder.
  2. Get 3 types of sediments, sand, humus, and gravel that measures about 20 ml using a beaker, then pour it in the filter.
  3. Get a 3 timers.
  4. Get 3 beakers and get water that contains 16.7 ml for each beaker, then pour it in the filter, then use the timer to time each sediments that are in the graduated cylinder fro 3 mins, then stop the timer.
  5. Watch and see how much water drained from each sediments.

Conclusion:

The conclusion of this experiment was that my hypothesis was supported because in the experiment, bigger sediments make water drain more faster because when the sediments have bigger shapes, it’s all together, so they have bigger holes left for the water to drain, but if the sediments are small and more, it will cover almost all the holes, so it would drain little water, and it will be saturated later on.

Connect to the Hypothesis – Was it supported or rejected? My hypothesis was supported because bigger sediments make it not crammed up, so there are bigger holes when the water could drain faster too.

Make a concluding statement related to the Problem – Use data to support the statement.

Explain the Data – Provide reasons why the data is what it is and how it connects.

Gravel has the biggest sediments  so it wouldn’t be crammed up when we pour the water in the filter, so the water came down more that others because it didn’t have to wait for a long time until it saturates.

Evaluation:

What I did well was knowing what the process of the experiment and the part that I need to improve on was collecting more data, when we were doing the experiment.

The Water Making Experiment

The project that we did that my group and I did was making water boiled steam back into water. The way we did that was we had a funnel that was connect to the pot and we boiled the water that was inside the pot, so the steam would come out. When the steam comes out from the hot water, it will touch the ceiling, so that steam would turn into water, after that, the water will flow by the funnel and then into the cup and that is how you turn steam back into water. The trouble we had with this experiment was when our group had mixed up jobs, so we kept on arguing, until everything went correctly. 

Twisted Fairy Tale

Posted on by

Once upon a time, there lived a owner who just bought a house and builder, the builder asked the owner, ” So, I heard that you just bought a house. This is the land where I’m going to build the house. I chose this place because it’s peaceful and nothing could disturb.” Fine, now build the house now!” The owner shouted in a cruel way. So, then the builder builted  the house. “I’m done with your house, sir, I hope you like it.” It looks horrible and it looks too plain! I’m going to Destroy it! The owner said cruelly. BOOM!! “No what have you done.” So the builder tried to built another house that doesn’t look plain. The builder builted a fancy house made out of wood.” Hmm..”, said the owner. “It looks nice, but did you know that my house could catch of fire easily! If you built another house that I don’t like, I’m going to cancel buying the house, and you’ll to return all the money that belongs to me! The owner got really mad and shouted really loud at the builder. The builder started to get mad at the owner and he wanted to impress the owner, so that he would betray the builder, so the builder builted the most biggest house of all time, a palace. Okay, I’m done with your house, and if you don’t it, I’m going to call the police  that you didn’t appreciate the house that I builted you, since you bought it.” said the builder.” You don’t need to call the police because I like this style, it’s big, it’s neat, and it looks wonderful.” said the owner. “I forgive you for saying bad things about the house you builted for me.” And they lived happily ever after.

SSIS Fun Schedule

Posted on by

 There’s a fun schedule that every student follows. There’s eight days on our schedule, odds days have block A, B, C, D and even days have block E,F,G, H and they all represent each classes. Every time class ends, there’s always a break and we have little bit of free time. There are no bells but the teachers will tell us when the class ends, this is a great advantage that you won’t get annoyed but sometimes the teacher dismiss us late. The class we have everyday at school is humanities.

There are three breaks in the schedule. There is morning breaks, bathroom break and lunch. When morning breaks, you can go anywhere you want in school. You could go in the gym, elementary building. You can go to the cafeteria and have snacks or drinks. When morning break ends, we have an extra 5 minutes to get prepared for the next block. The next break is bathroom break. It is a time for you to get ready for your next block, you could go to the bathroom, get a drink, etc. In lunch, if you eat fast, it’s just like break. In the gym, we have some rules to keep it from getting too crowded, Monday, 8th graders have the gym, Tuesday are for girls, Wednesday are for 7th graders, Thursday are for boys, Friday are for 6th graders. But on Wednesday you could go outside to play outdoor.


Each block we study for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. If a student is late when the class already starts, the student has to go get a tardy slip and give it to the teacher of the subject, the student is currently on. All students have classes that are humanities, science, math, exploratory classes, language usage, integrated writing, and integrated technology for the whole school year like humanities because humanities is a special subject, we have it everyday. It is a combination of social studies and language arts. When we go to class, we go to the teacher checks and calls our names to check if we’re here.

Fantastic Contraption

Posted on by

What was challenging about Fantastic Contraption (think of the first time you played it) Trying to figure what the point of the level is about. It was also hard when you set up objects in a level and when you press start it might not work, so you got to try again. The other hard part in the “Mind the Gap” level was when I can only build the object in the square and I can’t make my object as long or as big as the goal, so I got to think about making an object that can fit in the square and could reach the goal.

What did you enjoy most about the game?
Comparing to what happens after we press start and when we see what happens, we would know if we know what skill that level teaches and being creative to each level. The other fun part of playing Fantastic Contraption is creating an object with our creativity.

What do you think you learned from playing this game (be specific what skills does it take to complete a level) Thinking, designing, and being creative.

This is a screenshot of the Fantastic Contraption level that I like called, “Mind the Gap.”
