After learning more about atoms, compounds and more, I have created a masterpiece of art

So for this project, I am going to give a breakdown on what I did here, we learned about more about atoms, such as Bohr diagrams and valience electrons, we learned about compounds and ionic compounds, plus we did some labs. The driving question for this project is. “What impacts do elements and compounds have on history and modern day society?”

 

Bohr and Lewis diagrams

One of the first thing we did was reviewing our knowledge on our atomic knowledge, we reviewed protons, neutrons and electrons and the elements on the periodic table, we did Bohr diagrams which are based on the electrons positions and we also learned about valeinece electrons which are the electrons in the outermost electrons shell. We learned about Lewis diagrams which are similar but look a lot simplier and we did work on valience electrons there to.

Labs

We did a couple of labs in which we played around with compounds, the first lab we did was burning different compounds over the Bunsen burner, we tested the colour of the flames and some were green and a very dark red, with the lithium nitrate I think it was. So overall, that was a fun lab and I feel like what could other elements react like that in flames. The second lab we did was mixing differet compounds together and they made different coulours and textures. Which was really intresting

Compounds

The main part of this project was learning about compounds, the main compounds we learned about were compounds, ionic compounds and we learned about more. A compound is a mix of different elements such as for example,H2O. We learned about the different compounds and we learned another type of compounds, such as ionic compounds and more.

Artwork

The final product of this project is our artwork, which is made with cianitite, in which you cover parts of the paper in the sun and it changes colour. In which one part looks white and the rest is blue. We made our cianitite and we put it in the sun and made our artwork, which we had showed on Thursday.

 

Reflection

So in conclusion, I did learn more in this project than the other science projects, the parts where I learned the most were the compounds section of this project. So in conclusion, I learned more in this project then the other science projects.

After reading chapter one of the book, I have learned how to be proactive.

So after reading this book for the second chapter, I have learned about what is called the priviate victory. The habits included is being proactive, putting first things first, and think with the end in mind and I will explain these habits and how I use them in my daily life

 

Be proactive

Being proactive basically means that you take accountability and be responsible for the things you can control in your life, such as emotions, attitude, and other things, one way I am proactive is by taking control of what I can, such as working out and not complaining about the things I cannot contol. One other way I am proactive is not procrastinate and doing my homework

Put first things first

Putting first things first is basically what is sounds like, putting bigger priorties first instead of less important things. In the book, it mentions the small and the big boulders, and if you put them in a bucket, you put the big rocks in first and the smaller rocks last so the cup can fill up easier. One why I put first things first is when I get home, after a couple hours I work out, eat dinner, and then do my homework. So basically, I prioritize my work and that way I work better, I have less work related stress and I feel better overall.

Think with the end in mind

Thinking with end in mind is what It sounds like, you basically think about the desired outcome of something, Like a road trip and where you want to end up, that’s an example of what it is. One way I think with the end is mind is how much muscle I want to gain from working out, such as I wanted to gain a couple pounds in a few months and I did that. Another way I think with the end in mind is how I want to end the day, having all of your work done and resting without worry of work

 

Video

For this chapter and the next chapters, we are supposed to make a YouTube short on the 7 habits and we show that in a creative way, so enjoy our video.

 

So in conclusion, this is how I use the habits in the private victory in my daily life

 

After reading a book, completing activities and learning about maniging myself, I have finally figured out what I really wanted

So this project started after winter break so it was depressing to come back to school and that means new projects in plp, this project was mainly about discovering ourself and the driving question for this project is. How might I tell a story about who i am and where I’m going? We mainly in this project made a video about how we organize ourselves, reading a book called what do I really want. And making a video about a story about ourselves

WDYRW activities

So as part of this project, we had to read a book called What Do I really Want and for each chapter of the book we had to do activities based on what I was taught in that chapter. I think in my opinion, the book was not great and I did not like doing the activities in the book because I did not like doing this types of projects in school, where I have to centre a school project around me. But overall, I did not really enjoy this part of the projects

 

Unboxing Me and Maniging me video

So this segment is all about the videos that I made in this project. The first video I made was the maniging me video, where I explained how I organized myself on a day to day basis, such as school, events and other things outside of my school. I mentioned how I used time blocking on the calendar app and the things app to organize myself

For the Unboxing me video, we first had to make a moving storyboard to help with filming by using animations for our storyboards, we also had to make script for us to read off of and we had to make a compelling story while explaining what we learned

After reading for a few hours,I have learned about habit 4,5 and 6 in the 7 habits of highly effective teenagers

So have been reading this book called the 7 habits of highly effective teenagers for the past few weeks in maker class and it’s tied in a project. In which the driving question for this project is. “what does it take to become a highly effictive person.” For this post we learned about 3 other habits, think win win, seek first to understand, then be understood, and synergize.

 

Think win win

Think win win is the 4th habit of the book, and it sounds like what it is, its a mindset where you think on how you can win and the other person can win as well, win win basically. One way I use think win win in my day to day life is when I have to do homework, if  I do homework first over everything, then I can relax and I have finished my homework, so that’s win win

Seek first to understand, then be understood

Seek first to understand, then be understood is where you basically try to understand to other person first, like in a conversation, you listen first with full body listening and try to understand what the other person is talking about. And then it’s your turn to speak and then you seek to be understood by the other person. One way I use this in everyday live is the truth is, I don’t use it everyday because I would not be in the scenario to be in that situation.

Synergize

Synergize is what it basically sounds like: you have to work together to accomplish something you can’t do alone, such as carrying a heavy object or a large work presentation. Synergizing also involves trying to understand and accept the differences between others. One way I use this habit in everyday life is in school, when I have to work with other classmates for something in either of the PLP classes, that means putting our differences aside and trying to work together. For this book, for every chapter, we have to make a video about the habits in a creative and professional way, so below is the video and enjoy it
