DI: Final Post

If you don’t know what DI is or want to learn about it you should read my previous blog post before you read this one. Here’s the link: https://www.blog44.ca/oweng/2022/02/02/d-i-bacterial-besties/

Since my last blog post, my team and I have kept on practicing, building and fixing our broken props and costumes.
Some stuff that we’ve built and repaired since then are:

Our sign:

Our backdrops:


Our salmonella costumes:

And our team car:

On the day of DI, my team and I got to Saint George’s at 10:30, got all our props together, fixed some minor things that broke, presented our story, did our instant challenge, took our team photo, and then we left.

Overall in DI, I think I was accomplished because I helped my team with lots of work, such as helping with the script, building props, and researching. Also because I memorized all my lines and had my costume prepared. Some things I think I could’ve done better are trying to meet up with my team more at the beginning and doing dress rehearsals more often.

On the day of DI, I think I was extending because I arrived on time, had all my props with me, had my lines memorized and was prepared for my presentation and the instant challenge. I think I could’ve helped make the transitions between scenes more smooth during our presentations.

And here’s the video of our presentation:

And if you want to read about my teammates’ experiences here are the links to their blogs: Jackson, Susan, Caden, Kadin, Callum, and Naomi.

Chemisty Coding

How can the behaviour of matter be explained by kinetic molecular theory and atomic theory? To answer that I have to learn about molecular and atomic theories. In class, I learned about atomic theory through the different atomic models and worksheets. I learned about molecular theory through worksheets. We explained our knowledge through a game that we coded ourselves.

Here is my project end MindNode:

Questioning and predicting: I think I am accomplished in questioning and predicting because all my class time was used effectively to finish my work and code my game. I also was interested in coding my game the science and math that were used in this project.

Scientific communication: I think I am accomplished because I knew and understood several different atoms and molecules. Another reason why is because I represented a finished model of particle motion shown and a historical model of an atom is in my game. I also used scientific methods, techniques, and ideas to show my learning in my game and my atomic model’s research.

Reasoning and analyzing: I think I am accomplished because I made a well-coded scratch game with functional controls. My game also showed the atomic theory, molecular theory, and all states of atoms correctly. My game is also easy and fun to play.
