Spaceship Earth

We were assigned to create a space ship were a crew could live for twenty years. But no one could bring enough of anything on the twenty year voyage. in the top picture you see the third floor where the crew sleeps exercises and plays arcade games!

In the second picture you see the ground floor where the crew has a green host tat provides oxygen and foods. there is also the animals which provide meat and the cows and chickens provide milk and eggs. there is also a suana, kitchen, movie room bathroom and pool.

In the third picture you see the second floor which provides the water purifier. It helps keep the water clean so the crew can re-drink the water. There is also the compost room the bugs eat at the solid waste.

That is my spaceship! Thanks for taking the tour!

Adolescent Issues

I was excited to get lockers so I could actually have a place to keep my stuff that was not at just my table. Now I like lockers a lot more than cubby’s and I think it was smart of me to look forward to getting a locker.

In lower school I was scared I was going to have a lot of homework to much. But now it depends on my schedule because some teachers than others and sometimes I have to do more in one night because I did not have time to do it until the night before it was due.

I am worried about the parent teacher kid conferences. I might tell my parents and advisor a few things in advance about how I have been working in school and how I will be presenting.

I am excited for spirit week. I am excited to have pajama day and twin day and have fun all week.

Population Graph!

 

I chose to make my graph the shape it is because I knew population started growing slowly and got faster from the video we watched in class about growing population so I started slow and got faster and faster with the growing population. When Ana told us that in 8,000 B.C.E there were 5 million people in the world it really changed the graph in my mind (because I had not started my dots on the graph). It changed how population would increase. In my mind I thought population would grow at a pretty even pace. But then when Ana told us I thought about it and it made sense because of tech people can live longer and babies are more healthy.

Atoms

A  challenge I came across was I would make a atom but then I would see something very different. I think a atom looks like this because atoms are so small and strong I think atoms are in a ball but not actually a ball and inside that there is protection and inside is a ball the real atom.  A really exciting part of building my atom was finally seeing what a atom looks like in at least my mind.
