Hello everyone!
This is my second to last Scimatics blog post for grade 8! Wow this year has really gone by fast i’m almost done my first high school year and it feels so crazy to almost be finished. So about this project. This project was mostly math based and a lot of the math was things we already had learned but, we basically just learned more about how to calculate different shapes and just learned more about the concept in general.
Hello everyone!!!
It’s been way too long since I’ve written a blog post. This project is our second to last project for this year (noooooooooo!) and it’s about the causes and consequences of European exploration. If you didn’t know I greatly enjoy reading and my favourite genre is fantasy and by association pirates. You might be wondering what does pirates have to do with this project Sydney? well, this project is called argh, Matey so even though the driving question was: What were the causes and consequences of global exploration? Pirates were a part of that (and Mr Hughes really likes pirates).
Hello everyone!
This is my second blog post about Destination Imagination (DI). We’re finally done, after a lot of work we finally went to the competition and presented our challenge solution. If your looking at your screen and wondering “what is this lady talking about?” Visit my previous DI post here. Ok now that your all caught up it’s time to wrap this project up for this year (because we do DI till grade 10).
Hello everyone!
This blog post is about my most recent scimatics project ‘Chemistry Coding’. I was really excited for this project because I really like chemistry and I was super excited to learn about it. The end goal of this project was to create a scratch game or simulator that depicts the movement of matter in different states. The driving question for this project was: How can the behaviour of matter be explained by the kinetic molecular theory and atomic theory?
Hello everyone!
Today I’m going to be talking about the renaissance vs now (2022). This project was all about how things have changed from the renaissance time period and the lasting effects it’s had on current society. I was really excited to do this project because I haven’t gotten to do much history in school yet.
Hi everyone!
Wow its been a long time since my last blog post I think I’m a little rusty. This blog post is about my first field study. This was an amazing first field study (even though there were a few talkers at night) and I’m sure your dying to know where we went. I’m sure some of the people reading will already know but, drum roll please… we went to Loon Lake! Wow was it beautiful there. It was so nice to be out in the fresh air (especially because we had to wear masks inside, curse you covid!). We’re so lucky that we even got to go. Like one of my previous posts (functioning in the company of terms) we made a book in book creator, so later in post make sure to have a look at it.
Hello everyone!
This blog post is about my newest and last project of semester 1. This project is called Working with Words, it’s all about poetry and getting to know and express ourselves through poetry. The driving question of this project is: How might I construct text that shows who I am right now? This one of my favourite projects that we’ve done so far.
Hello everyone!
This is my second Scimatics blog post (even though it’s my third project I just didn’t have a blog back then) this project is called Laser Laws! I was super excited for this project when I heard about it. The two main concepts for this project were the Pythagorean Theorem and the Law of Reflection. Our driving question for this project was: How can we test the pythagorean theorem and the law of reflection?
Hello everyone!
This is kind of a weird post because it’s not specific to any class I have. This post is about my mPOL (midyear Presentation Of Learning), Because we’re coming to the end of semester 1 it’s officially the middle of the school year. Wow I can’t believe it’s already done. In this post I’m going to be answering two driving questions: “How have I demonstrated growth as a learner so far this year?” And “How can I sharpen my Learning Plan to ensure I will reach my learning targets by the end of this school year?”
Hello everyone!
This post is kind of part of the geek out blogging challenge but also kinda not. Let me explain so, my teachers decided that instead of writing a final blog post for the geek out blogging challenge we’d write a blog post about Destination Imagination.
Destination Imagination is educational experience for grades pre-k to university students. There are seven different challenges: technical, scientific, engineering, fine arts, improvisational, service learning, and early learning. My class is only doing four of the seven: technical, fine arts, scientific, and improvisational. DI has five levels: pre-k, elementary, middle, secondary, and university. DI is in more than thirty countries. If you’d like to learn more about DI click this link: Destination Imagination Continue reading The Grade 8 Improvers of DI
