Already halfway through grade 9! You know what that means! It’s time to reflect on my growth as a learner in the first half of the year! Yep, you guessed it: time for another Mpol (Midyear Presentation of Learning). Let’s begin! Declaration of learning: “Thank you for coming to my presentation of learning. I am […]
🎢The Rizzard Of Oz
A new rollercoaster for Screamorama Amusement Park just got approved for further engineering, development and construction!! This is exciting. My creative design team designed and created a working prototype of this rollercoaster, to pitch it to the CEO’s of Screamorama (aka the teachers). There was about a dozen rollercoaster pitches, and ours was the first […]
Avatar, Old-Growth Forests and Winter Exhibition 2022
Wow! I made a documentary film! And, we had an avatar themed exhibition. How do the two relate? Well, you’re about to find out! We started this project with a movie. The movie was Avatar (2009), which was apparently the second highest grossing film of all time behind Gone with the Wind (1939), and I […]

Life As We Know It!!
What is life on Earth? How do living things sustain life? How do we achieve genetic diversity in living things? Well, lucky you, we pondered all of these question in our latest science project, about biology. This post isn’t like a regular summative project post, because to sum up most of my learnings, I made […]
Let’s Start a Revolution!!
Once upon a time I lived in a kingdom far far away. In this nation, the society was divided into 4 social classes; including the king and royals, the law enforcement (Nobility), the merchants (Store Owners) and the peasants. Each had a different hierarchy status, living conditions and wages. The rules and laws were imposed […]

🚂The Geography of the West, a Flourishing Economy
How has the geography of the West shaped who we are? Well, after completing our first humanities project on the power of geography, I have developed my answer to that question. This is a special project because we got to go on a 9 day field trip through the West. We stopped at important historical […]
Ecosystems and our Impacts
Well hello again! I’m back, it’s been a while since my last post. Quick catch-up: This is PLP Science 9. Yeah you heard me correctly, it’s just science instead of last year’s Scimatics, which I’m super happy about. Now science and math are separate classes, like mainstream (non-PLP) students usually have. And we have welcomed […]
The Battle Of ALS
Hello everyone! This is my blog post reflection on our last science project of this school year, called Comic Cells. The end goal for this project was to make a comic about how cells and diseases interact. But first, we had to learn more about cells. To learn about what classifies something as living or […]
