Weekly Blog

This week has been interesting. The lectures each day kind of are getting old already. At north Shore we got at least 5 lectures a day and that's one thing that I'm not a big fan of. The new project is really cool and I'm so excited to get started! Some of the projects that other students are doing are awesome and I can't wait to see their results. All the blogs, the new acceptation book readings, and all the new homework is going to need a lot of getting used to! I know I'll get it down after like a week or so but it's just going to suck.(:

Personal Blog

The most recent projects were Libya and Laws. The Libya project was easy yet challenging because I had troubles summarizing the timeline but it was easy having other group members helping and splitting the work so there wasn't much to do. The Laws project was difficult. The last time I did a reference was 6th possibly 7th grade so I forgot a lot and needed to brush up on old information. Also it was difficult finding laws and what amendment went with what and actually looking for the right amendment. I love working with people though so the Libya project was nicer than the Laws project.

Analysis Science

1. There both similar because both refer to the quality of a measurement.
2. Both come out to an exact measurement but a triple beam balance is accurate and precise and the electronic balance is accurate but not precise.
3. All numbers before or including the zero if it has a decimal after or before or it has a repeating sign. Example; 122.01 has 5 sig figs or 122 has 3 sig figs.
4. 2 Liters of water is about 2,000mm
5. How to measure volume I never truly understood that. Also how to read a triple beam balance and how to use and read the calipers.

Achieve 3000; Ipad response

I believe that the Ipad is a great device for our academy learning environment. I've had one before we sold it and it was awesome! I also believe that laptops will always be the best thing for the academy. Ipads won't be able to do everything, nooks are for reading, and ipod touches/phones are also very small and you also can't do everything with those.

Ropes Course

The ropes course was awesome! I totally forgot how much of a rush it was and how like much adrenaline you get! I love doing those things and the chance of actually climbing and being pretty high! The view was just gorgeous, and watching Jackson climb up that pole and go do the course was just phenomenal! If I could i would just spend the whole day there.
       What I learned was more of peoples names, how to problem solve, and how to work together. It was pretty challenging trying to get everyone to get through the rope especially when someone was purposely trying to make us fail. It had a lot of challenges and stuff to get you thinking out of the box. Also it had a lot of fun and amazing things! All I know is I had a blast! I would love to do that again!

Design A Room

      I worked with Sara, Emma, and Halie. We all worked very well together and got along great! It was nice to get to know them a bit more too. We all communicated very well, when someone didn't like an idea we would tell each other, when someone took an idea someone else might have made it a bit better we would speak up.
       I believe the reason we did this was to see how creative or how further we could think outside the box. Also to see if we could use our resources and surroundings. It was a great and fun project and it was so amazing how you teachers put 4 subjects together and didn't have to do 4 other reposts/projects.
