Consequences of colonization

For this project there was three keystones. Each keystone focused on a different part of colonization. We did these keystones to answer the question “what did colonization mean for all involved?”

For keystone 1 we had to wright an art chart describing what we knew just by looking at the image we chose for the project. The image I chose was a drawing by C.W. Jeffries called The relief at Fort Vercheres.

For keystone 2 we had to reinterpret the drawing we chose from a different point of view (that point of view being the first nations point of view.) I reinterpreted mine to have a pile of iriquoi body’s to show that the people at Fort Vercheres were actually the bad guys and not the good ones.

Keystone 3 we made a AR video (augmented reality) using the original drawing beside the reinterpreted drawing and explaining the difference. Over all I think it was a very fun project and i hope to do something like it again.

For this project we focused on matter. We learned about atoms and forms of matter. Our first keystone we learned about qualitative and quantitative observations and mass. For the keystone one project we picked a random object in the class and had to find its mass, density, and volume. As well as those three things we had to write three qualitative properties of it. That was fun because we never actually said what the object was and Ms. Kadi had to guess. For the second keystone we learned about the changes of states of matter. The assignment for keystone two was gummy bear diffusion, we had to come up with a question involving leaving gummy bears overnight in a liquid and the gummy bears absorbing that liquid. Our question was does the amount of water affect the size the gummy bears grow to? Short answer is it does not. The final project was making a video game based on what we learned this unit. In my game you are a glass of water and you want to stay as a glass of water by avoiding the snow witch would turn you into a solid and game over and by avoiding the fire witch would turn you into a gas and game over. This was a fun project and so far I’m enjoying science 8
