Now is the time to reflect on the biggest project of the year. The Frankenstuffie unit. We covered ecology, surface area, volume and geography. The first step of the project was to make our math monsters. Which we would include into our stories. Then we focused on ecology and exploring the relations between organisms and … Continue reading Frankenstuffies!!
Last week in science we did a DNA lab where we extracted DNA from a strawberry. We first crushed the strawberry by putting in dish soap, water and salt into a bag then we added the strawberry and smashed the bag. We then took some alcohol and filled a test tube halfway. The strawberry … Continue reading DNA!!!! The Building Blocks of The World!!!
For the past week and a bit we have been looking at surface area and volume in math. As a result of that we were tasked with creating a monster and calculating its surface area and volume. We came up with our designs and told that we had to have at least one composite solid … Continue reading Monster Building and Mearsuring
We did a lab a couple of days ago in science. We used copper chloride and aluminium to create a compound called aluminum chloride that would be burned by a Bunsen burner and hopefully create a green flame. We started out with pouring some copper chloride into a beaker and then we put a square … Continue reading Compound lab
Lately in science we have been doing a chemistry unit. Throughout the unit we have been working on a project called the superhero project. The superhero project is a group project where the objective is to create a superhero with their super powers based off of an element. Our group chose bromine as our element. … Continue reading Superhero blog post
The metaphor machine project has come to an end. It was a great project that really showed what PLP is all about with the creation, design, the history aspect as well as all the blog posts and other parts of this unit that we have done. I really enjoyed the historical aspect of this project … Continue reading Metaphor Machine Final Blog Post
So lately in math we have been learning about blueprints and scale diagrams. As a final project we made our own dream houses. We used all that we learned about scale and blueprints like the code for kitchens, how to find the square footage and the prices per. Square footage. We started out with finding … Continue reading Dream House and the Super Bowl room
For scimatics we were working on geometry and light. As a unit project we were tasked with making a physical representation of the First Nations story ” How Raven Brought The Light.” We also had to include geometry, like cylinders and prisms, and different aspects of light, like refraction and reflection. When I first heard … Continue reading Raven is a sun stealer
