I Get Into my Music

Today we went on an adventure to the UCSD campus (the fifth, and sixth graders are at camp so we decided this would be the best time to go on an adventure). We’d been “planing” this trip sense last week and decided sense we were interested in the library, and Lisa (Anthony’s mom) work there in the Anthropology lab, and she had invited us (we wouldn’t just show up...

Cough drop on a stick

For our latest science project we’ve been studying sugar. When burning sugar it turns into different phases: Thread, soft ball, firm ball, hard ball, soft crack, and hard crack. I was paired with Andrew, and we made cherry flavored lollipops. The other two groups made carmel apples, and gummies. We researched a recipe that I think worked well but unfortunately we missed a very important...

History of Dance Reflection

For our last Humanities project I work alone on the history of dance in America. We decided would be a short project, so we had about 3 weeks to do to. I happened to really like this project because (if you didn’t know) I enjoy dancing a lot. It took me a while to come up with this idea, but that Rob suggested it and i though i’d be perfect for me (which it was). Other then the fact...

Science Cooking Gnocchi Reflection

Yesterday we had a class cooking day. Sense next week is sky week, and we had just finished a big Chemistry project we decided that this week would be a cooking week. Around the end of last week we started talking this project. It took us about two day to finally decide that we where going to split into 4 groups (of two) and each make a different type of pasta and a sauce. Each group found there...

Acids and Bases Testing with an pH Probe

About some weeks ago, in science we tested common household appliances to see if they where acids or bases. We added an indicator to them (household appliances), and determined if it was an acid or was do to the color. About a week later Carwai got something called Verier lab quest unit. We used that to get a more accurate answer. I was really interest to so how different the answers where. Its...

We had planed of having debates at least every other day on the constitution of a small fake island. Beginning this project we (like we did for all the other project also) had high expectations, but when we actually started we...

You love school.” “True, but today is the day we finally leave.” The Grumpbutts are a … different family — let’s call them that. Different from other families and different from each other. Although, they do all have one thing...

Rude Goldberg

For my Rude Goldberg project I worked with Ruby to create a bread toasting Rude Goldberg. I think my biggest regret of this project was the earlier stages of the project, when we choose our end product. We had a bit of a difficulty choosing it (being the end product). That then pushed the making of the blueprint back, which affected us a lot the the construction stages. Luckily I think we mainly...

Allies and Enemies Reflection

For the first trimester humanities project, I worked with Charmaine. Our project was to find the allies and enemies of the United States (throughout the ages). For research we split up, I researched enemies, and Charmaine researched allies. Then we decided that I would make a powerpoint, and Charmaine would make a graph for presentation. I thought we did good on our project, and met all our...

Physics Experiment

In science class where learning about acceleration and deceleration. Me and Taelon thought of the idea to make a V shaped ramp and test the execration and desecration of different spheres. We taped meter sticks to the sides of the ramp as borders and recorded how many times the sphere hit the bumpers and the time it took to stop at the bottom, 5 times each. Heres the data we got.

In Science where talking about Isaac Newton’s laws of Physics (I don’t remember how we got on that topic). So to help us truly learn Carwai had us due and experiment that involved Hot wheels to calculate speed (which is distance divided by time). My car (displayed above) traveled 1 meter every 2.16 seconds

I bet you’ve hear of many stories about people who had just got their license get in a accidents and get badly injured or sometimes killed but heres what’s special about Luke’s story, he never actually pass the test he failed (quite badly). Before I tell you what happens...

Religion Reflection

I liked the religion project. When I first heard that we where going to do a religion project, I wasn’t to excited. Religion isn’t my favorite topic, because ever sense I was a kid I was forced into religion, so I don’t really love religion. Although where I heard we could make our own religion I thought that could be kinda fun. I choose greek mythology and Judaism as...

Cow Eye Dissection

I thought the cow eye dissection was very well interesting. At first I was really scared. I don’t like the thought of dissecting a cows eye for me made me wanna throw up. But I also thought it would be interesting to see what we where learning about in class, in real life. During the dissection I became more comfortable as long as I didn’t think that i was dissecting a cows...

Life Of Pi Reflection

I thought Life of Pi was a interesting and at the same time disturbing. If I could be an a animal that was on the boat I would be a giraffe because first of all they’re tall and second they are vegetarian. I think I would mainly do the same think Pi did in the story. Im a vegetarian (by choose) and Pi is also a vegetarian (by religion) so think Pi and are kinda of alike so I can sorta...

I think i’ve have a productive week this week. On Wednesday we have a field trip to Biogen Idec so we didn’t have time to work that day but all the other days i’ve been working hard. At the begging of this week I continued to write the Fuf. Yesterday I started to make the house of worship called the Feef. The Feef is a mix of a Greek palace and a synagog and it looks good. Thats...

Biogen Idec Reflection

I really liked our field trip to the Biogen Idec. I had a great time and learned a lot. I drove there with Carwai, David, Andrew, and Taelon in Carwai’s car. We where the first ones there so we waited outside until everyone showed up. Once everone was there we stopped at the bathrooms, then on to the lab. After we entered the lab we where pared into groups of three or four. I was pared with...

For the final presentation I am going to make a poster board with the sacred text (the Fef) and a few other information about Foofyism. I will also make a model of the Foofys house of worship (the Feef). For so far i’ve researched the religions...

Mock Trial Reflection

I mainly liked the mock trial. At the very beginning of this week Rob handed us the packets and briefly went over it. When he was done I thought to myself I did not understand one word he said and how in the heck am I gonna be abel to do this. That night (for homework) I read over the packets and it started to make more sense, but I still didn’t know how we would reenact this trial. ...

I thought great artist tried out great. This was my first great artist and I was looking forward to great artist.

I like the freedom of this project and how we got to do almost all of the work. I think...
