I never thought that Star Wars could be apart of school until now and most people probably thought that as well. Our task for the exhibition was to put together a project to present to an audience on December 14th, every grade 8 and 9 student came up with a strong Star Wars themed inquiry question and were put into either the dark side or the light side based on…

During this unit we focused on answering the question: “how does an idea drive change?” After learning all about the anatomy of a revolution from French historian Crane Brinton, and the aesthetics of steampunk from the book Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. We have now taken our knowledge and learnt all about metaphors, circuits and the French Revolution. This question was answered using both humanities and scimatics to create a Rube Goldberg…

In class we’ve been learning all about the steam punk aesthetics. Before this subject was introduced to me in class I didn’t know anything about it and I had only heard the word maybe once in my life. So far we’ve read leviathan and we’ve started a project called metaphor machines. Both of these activities in class have been teaching us about the steam punk world. So I came up…

Crane Brinton was a historian in France. He started teaching at Harvard 1923 and became a full professor at Harvard in 1942. During his time at Harvard he wrote his world famous book, “The Anatomy of Revolution” in 1938. In summary, he pretty much discovered a pattern between each of the revolutions and he compared a revolution to a disease. He organized the pattern into four different steps: Stage 1: incubation…

  Our class just finished the first math project of the year. The driving question was, “How do games use math to make them more complex, interesting and replayable”. The instructions were to create a card game that used basic math operations. We each designed our own card game, including, the rules, the value and the cards. These are my cards I created. They are pretty similar in design to…

  Just recently, all the grade nines at Seycove had the opportunity to go to work with one of their parents. I decided to tag along with my dad. My dad is what you could call an architectural technologist which (in English) means that he designs buildings for clients.   My day started at 9:30(ish) am. I did a quick interview with my dad (Kelvin) who owns his own company…

About a month ago we were assigned the traditional plp project called Frankenstuffie. The project is humanities and science based. The humanities part was mostly all about the physical regions of canada and the science part was animal adaption and (for me) the nitrogen cycle. First read the Martian, this book is about an astronaut (Mark Watney) who is stranded on the unlivable planet, Mars. He is forced to think…

  About a week ago I filmed a science project that i did with my friends Adlih and Luca. We filmed it in about an hour and a half and edited it all the next day, it ended up turning out quite well. But of course, there are things I would’ve done differently. But before i talk about it any longer I’ll let you watch it.     So? What’d…
