AlgeBros

Our latest math assignment was a partner project where we were focusing on Algebra, more specifically, Algebra Tiles. Our job was to create a game that featured algebra tiles and required players to practice their algebra skills. I partnered up with Marshall and we got brainstorming on what direction we wanted to head with our…

DAN does DNA

We’ve been doing a lot of video making in PLP lately, and science is no exception. We have recently concluded a unit all about DNA with the driving question “Can cousins be identical?” This question would be answered by demonstrating our understanding through a video including all the content we learned about. My partner was…

I Been Cooking In The Stu

An important part of filmmaking is music, and what better music to use than your very own! This is why in Maker we have been working on getting better at using GarageBand to understand music and to practice making our own. I have never really learned how to use GarageBand, I tried teaching myself in…

Don’t Get Caught: A Trailer

Our first course in Humanities; “Story Of My Life”, had us reading a novel and creating a trailer for that novel. If you keep up with my blog (shout out to you if you do) you would know that my book was Don’t Get Caught by Kurt Dinan. This post will be more about the…

Filming Some Footy

After completing a plethora of videos with predominantly set requirements, I was looking forward to working on something with a little bit more creative freedom. So as you can imagine, I was pleasantly surprised when we were given our next assignment and it was yet another video but this time had a lot more room…

Solar Powered Shoe Store

For our first scimatics project of the year, we fused science and math to create a model building that featured solar panels at certain angles we calculated using trigonometry. Before diving in to the project, we needed to get an idea of what we already know, and what we want to know. To do this,…

Shin Shields

As you may know, at the end of each year, PLP holds an exhibition where we, the students, showcase our Blue Sky project. The idea behind Blue Sky is to create a product that solves a problem. Our job is to come up with a question, or problem, and decide how we should go about…

Canada’s Rielity

After learning about Canada’s confederation, it was time for us to head westward and move on to learning about the Métis and their fight against Canada. We hopped right in to it and gathered a sense of who the Métis were by completing notes which we collected from an interactive website. This helped us get…

Cookies And Guns

To cap off the year, our final math project was based around the topic of correlation vs. causation. I have never learnt about this before so I was curious as to what the unit would consist of. We started by learning what the two terms actually mean. We learned that causation refers to when one…

My Oh Meiosis

In our latest science unit, we have been learning about plant reproduction, both sexually and asexually. We cloned both dandelions, and another plant of our choice, and we had to try our best to keep them alive. My group (Adlih, Maggie, and I) had a trickier time with this than others. One of our dandelions…
