Scimatics

Hello! The contents of this post will shock you! How does electricity help shape our society and how can we generate it more sustainably? This project was all about electricity. We learnt about different sources of energy, and how to make a circuit. We learnt about Voltage, Current, and Resistance. Having a positive energy. Electricity […]

  The Driving Question In what ways have humans impacted the delicate ecosystems around us and how can we lessen our impact. In this project, we learnt about ecosystems. We leant about how they are interconnected, and how effecting one thing, effects the others. We also learnt about bio-accumulation, and bio-magnification. We also learnt about […]

Comic Cells The goal of this project was to create a comic, on the subject of diseases, viruses, and infections. I chose to make a comic about tapeworms. Terrifying tale of the tapeworm Questioning and predicting: Demonstrate a sustained curiosity about a scientific topic or problem of personal interest. I could have used my class […]

The driving question How can I design a “blank” for maximum volume or surface area? For this project, I designed a skate park, the goal being to have as much surface area as possible. Me, and my partner Keaton, both decided to design skate parks, to be part of the same theme. Designing and Calculating […]

Ever wanted to play a game, about atoms? No? Yeah, your not alone, but heres the post anyways. The Big Idea The point of this project was to learn the concept of coding, while learning about chemistry. We did workbooks, where we learnt about kinetic energy in particles, and how heat makes particles move faster. […]

The most recent project I’ve done in Scimatics, is called “Laser Laws” The idea was to learn about light, the law of reflection, and the Pythagorean Theorem. Driving question: How can we test the Pythagorean theorem and the law of reflection at the same time? In this project, we made a laser display using mirrors, […]

The goal of this project was to make a board game using scientific concepts on the subject of tectonic plates. In order to complete the project, we first had to learn about the concepts we would be putting in our game. This is the “building knowledge” stage. Then, we planned out our rules, and made […]
