Every year we go on a couple big field trips, this year it was our California field school, in grade 9 it was our Florida trip, and more. On the side though, we do a lot of smaller day trips around Vancouver. Earlier in the year we went to the Museum of Vancouver, and now […]

In history class we are following a timeline. Last year we did a lot about Canada during the 19th and 18ty centuries, and earlier this year we did a huge unit on WWI, you can read about that below. So, if we follow the timeline of important events in our history, the next one would be […]

We have just finished a math unit and a science unit that are very connected. Energy and graphing, we used the graphing to measure the energy that we created over time, and how that power can be used. The project was to make a generator that harnessed natural energy to light up an LED light. […]

To enhance our WWII unit, and to learn more about the many perspectives we chose one of three books to read. Our three choices were Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand,  Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein, and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. I had heard from my mother that All the Light We Cannot See was good, […]

So, DI is back, and more stressful then ever. This is my second Destination Imagintion post for grade 10, in the last one I give a bigger explanation about my group and our challenge. Just in case you missed that riveting blog post, here’s a link to it. Mike mentioned in that post, we were […]

It has almost become part of PLP every year. Almost like a constant, looming problem, looking just over our shoulders all year. I’m talking about Destination Imagination, or DI. I have been doing DI since grade 8, so this is my third year competing. This is also my third year in the engineering challenge. Wow, […]

We have done algebra in the past. You know the whole x+5=10, what is x? But, one of the biggest concepts in math 10 is algebraic equations and functions. An algebraic function is a function that can be defined as the root of a polynomial equation. An algebraic equation or polynomial equation is an equation […]

The whole point of science 10 is to introduce and become familiar with ideas and subjects that are available for the grade 11 sciences. This unit is one of those, we did chemistry. This unit is very important for me because I am taking chemistry next year as one of my sciences. Last year in […]

This is my first post about a project from our trip to California. If you want to read about our trip, that post is attached below. San California This post is going to be more about the research two of the projects that we did when i. California. So, our first place we visited in California […]

Every year each PLP class has one large field school, last year for my year we went to Florida to research imagination, in grade 8 we went to Oregon to create advertisements, and this year we went to California to create a multitude of things, all based around disruption. We spent time in San Diego, […]
