Yo yo yo, recently we just finished our last project for scimatics! In this project we looked at how to use an app called Desmos, Did some khan academy quizzes, and more!

To start off we needed to choose a service or something to sell, this could be something like clothing, jewelry, dog walking, or even selling your feet online. I decided to do a mix of both service and business in way and decided to make tea for people, sort of like a cafe!

Next we needed to create a spreadsheet that contained all of the startup costs, I already had most of the materials so my startup cost was fairly cheap. My startup cost included tea bags, milk, and sugar and was only $12 all together!

 

 

Next we needed to take what was in the spreadsheet (above) and make an equation for our business. This equation included our start up cost, how much you’d make in an hour and/or how long it’ll take me to actually make that money. My equation ended up looking something like this:

 

 

Next I took my equation and put into an app called Desmos. This app helped me create an exact graph which showed how much I’d make in the span of five our to the span of a year – Desmos said that I would end up making about $2,113 in about 50 hours and around $117, 929 in around 5000 hours!

 

 

While all this was happening we had to keep in mind that we would have to create a video (like in our meiosis models video). This video needed to include the process of how we got to the graph and a few more things, but you can see for yourself:

Curricular Competency’s:

Communication: I think that my video would have to be the best example of communication for this project – it has a voice over that explains (to the best of my abilities) the project and how it works.

Thinking: I think that the Desmos graph or my would have to be the best example of my thinking work, I had to not only create the equation but the try and show it on a random graphing app.

Personal & Social: I think that my blog post would probably be best for personal and social because it helps and makes me reflect on my learning and on what I did and how I could do better while sharing my learning with other people!

Alrighty aaaaand that’s it for the year! Hopefully I wont have to write another one of these for a hot min but think this might be my last ever scimatics blog post (thank god) so bye y’all.

Thanks for tuning in for the year,
