Science bonds

This term has come to and end, and so has our science unit. In this unit we focused on atoms, matter, the periodic table, and Bohr models! We mainly learned about ionic and covalent bonding, and did a project on these 2 things! To start off the unit, we first learned about everything we needed…

History in one minute?

It’s all coming to an end, the big heritage minute project. This project has taken almost 2 months, and it has been a bumpy ride. This project was about a a time period that you chose in a group, and you make s video about it. However, it’s not just any video, it’s a heritage…

Road trippin

We just finished a very long math unit, which, of course, ended in a project. In this unit we learned about linear equations, and how to make them and graph them. This project was about a road trip, and making equations for expenses and money. The first step of the project was to figure out…

MPOLS are back again

Here it is again, another mid-year prevention if learning (MPOL). If you don’t know what this is, you can read about it here and here. I have already done 2 of these last year, previously called an SLC, or a TPOL. These are presentations of learning, and we create a presentation to our teacher(s) about…

Star Wars, The Last Exhibition

Star Wars is a huge multi media phenomenon, so of course we would do a project on the movie. Because the new movie, The Last Jedi has been released, it was perfect timing for out mini exhibition. Last years theme of the exhibition was global warming, and this year was Star Wars. It was very…

Metaphorically Speaking…

Another project, finished! This project was all about revolutions. Just like the last project, frankenstuffies, I only learned about one revolution. I chose to do The Easter Rising, and I think that was the best choice. The Easter Rising was the revolution in 1916 that took place in Ireland. The primary reason that the revolution…

Steampunk?

Steampunk. What weird name. You are probably wondering what it is. Well, it is a genre, and an aesthetic. I combined vintage with the future, the Victorian era, but with mythical creature made from metal, all that jazz. If you want to an in depth explanation of what it is, this is not the place,…

Crane Brinton’s theory

So after finishing frankenstuffie, it is time to start the next project. This project will have many blogposts, and this is just the first one. It is called Metaphor Machines. Don’t worry, I didn’t know what that meant either, until it was explained. Here’s a quick summary. We will be learning about revolutions in the…

Math makes no sense

We just finished this math project, so now it’s time to make a blog post about it. This card game was supposed to include simple math equations, and still have character. Now that seems easy, but it was actually pretty hard. We had to come up with our own game, and they could be the…

People vs. The Environment

Frankenstuffie, a very stressful topic. This was our first big project of the year. If you are order what a frankenstuffie is, well, it is a combination of different stuffies to make one. It sounds like an arts and crafts project, but I actually learned a lot from it. This project included geography, english, and…
