Thought 43: Time is Money 💵 How can we predict our finances for the future? My last blog post of PLP 9 is about our last Scimatics project, Time is Money. For this project, we created small businesses, sold a product of service, and used linear functions to calculate our future profits. For my small […]

Thought 39: Meiosis Models 🧬 How is the reproduction of cells essential to the survival of organisms? This project began with this question. We all know that all living things have to reproduce, but how? Human reproduction is the form of reproduction we were most familiar with, so at the beginning of the project we […]

Thought 35: Metaphor Machines Welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reflecting on our Scimatics project, Metaphor Machines. For this project, we had to build a Rube Goldberg machine that is a metaphor for the scientific method. It also has to use 2 types of electrical circuits. We spent the first part of […]

Thought 30: Chemistry Stories ⚛️ 🚨SOUND THE SCIENCE ALARM NEW SCIMATICS BLOG POST 🚨 This project was all about chemical bonding. To explain the process of how 2 atoms can share their electrons, we were tasked with making an animated video that demonstrates both ionic and covalent bonding. I decided to use Gold Cyanidation as […]

Thought 27: Correlation Vs Causation 📊 How are correlation and causation different? This project was all about surveys. Surveys are important ways to get data to help us understand things. The survey questions I chose, will NOT help you understand things. We were challenged with surveying the class, and find correlations and causations in our […]

Thought 23: Guess Who’s Back? The time has come for my first blog post of PLP 9. For our first project of the year, we had to make a board game using laws of exponents. My partner for this project was Colton. I will link his blog at the end of this one.  Our game […]

Thought 22: Comic Cells How do cells and diseases interact? Welcome to the final project of PLP 8. This project was all about cell interaction. We had the task of creating a comic book about cells, diseases and bacteria. I chose to make my comic on how heart disease attacks your body and how you […]

Ultimate Design Challenge How can we design an object to optimize its shape? Design is important. Design is professional. Design is the form in which we determine the visual and functional value of an object. For this project, we were to take an object, and optimize it’s design for maximum surface area or volume. We […]

Chemistry Coding ⚛️ How can the behaviour of matter be explained by the kinetic molecular theory and atomic theory? Like many adolescents my age, I enjoy playing video games. Luckily for me and the rest of PLP 8, this project was all about making video games. But there was one catch: The game had to […]

Thought 7: Laser Laws 📐 💡 How can we test the pythagorean theorem and the law of reflection? Group members Blogs Mateo Carter This was our 3rd Scimatics project and our last one of the year. We were assigned to make triangles, using lasers. In a way, it was sort of like an art project. […]
