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.

 

Twisted Fairy Tale

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.

If I were to meet a kid my age, I would want to tell them what is it like to be in SSIS, for example: Where the classrooms, lunch rooms, and other places in SSIS. I would also tell them about the rules in this school, and how we organized it like letting students use netbooks for learning and  I would also tell them about the Ho Chi Minh City like the language of how Vietnamese people speak, the way we do things in here, and some other things. I would also tell the kid my opinions in Ho Chi Minh City, like when there’s more motorcycles than cars, and traffic here.

First Semester Reflection Math

Posted on by

One of the problems I got wrong on the Algebraic Reasoning Unit Test was a equation. It said to solve the following equations and check your answer. Show all steps. I got that problem wrong because I read carefully on the part that said” check your answer”, I was suppose to show how I got the answer instead of just writing the answer. This shows me on what I should prepare next time when I do problems. Another problem is about converting each measurement. I got this one wrong because I didn’t do it carefully to see and check if it’s correct. The third problem that I got wrong is problem solving with equations. I got that one wrong because I didn’t listen to the directions carefully.
