Creating The StreamSpinner

Over the past month or so me and my classmates have been hard at work in Scimathics, working on the last big project of the year; Energy Capture. Now having just completed the project, its the time to take look back on it. Heading in to the project, our task was to create a device…

Very Very Reactive

Ever since the completion of our algebra unit, our time up in Scimathics has been spent learning about chemistry, and working to create presentations about a reaction of our choice. This was basically our first time doing chemistry, and I was looking forward to getting to do some super sciency science stuff for the first…

DAN does DNA

We’ve been doing a lot of video making in PLP lately, and science is no exception. We have recently concluded a unit all about DNA with the driving question “Can cousins be identical?” This question would be answered by demonstrating our understanding through a video including all the content we learned about. My partner was…

Solar Powered Shoe Store

For our first scimatics project of the year, we fused science and math to create a model building that featured solar panels at certain angles we calculated using trigonometry. Before diving in to the project, we needed to get an idea of what we already know, and what we want to know. To do this,…

My Oh Meiosis

In our latest science unit, we have been learning about plant reproduction, both sexually and asexually. We cloned both dandelions, and another plant of our choice, and we had to try our best to keep them alive. My group (Adlih, Maggie, and I) had a trickier time with this than others. One of our dandelions…

Destination Complication

The last time I talked about Destination Imagination on this page, I was reflecting on last year’s performance and how I dressed up as a fairy and pranced around stage. This year things went a little different, and that’s what I’m here to talk about; Destination Imagination 2018. Coming in to this year’s competition, we…

Máquina de Metáfora

For the past month or so, me and my classmates have been working on a PLP classic project; Metaphor Machines. Our task was to choose a revolution, then build a Rube Goldberg machine in which each action on the machine was a metaphor for something that happened in our revolution. My group which consisted of…

Common Sense Is Rule #1

One of our very first assignments in Science 9 was to comprise 3-5 videos, each focusing on one specific way to be safe during a science lab. This was obviously an assignment made to help us understand and prepare for future labs, but also to help us further our skills when it comes to making…
