The Atomic Model

In science we have been studying the atom. I was thinking about saturn, also this was what I thought a atom looked like. Also all the little balls are the energy. Thats what I thought.

I think my model looks most like Niels Bohr Orbit model. The date was 1913. I think mine looks like Bohr’s model because it has the orbit rings. Also mine has the clump in the middle.

Finally now I know about what a atom really looks like so I will tell you the different parts. There are three parts, Electrons, Neutrons, Protons. Neutrons plus Protons equals Nucleus. The Nucleus is the ball in the middle. Also the Electrons spin like crazy around it.

My Zoetrope

By Alfredo

My zoetrope is about a human feeding a bird a worm. One thing I loved about this project was we made a tiny movie that was 5 seconds long. It was fun to draw each panel. This is an example of my best work, because I really like the bird. Next project I will try as hard as I did this time. Maybe I will add a bird again.

French Reflection

My favorite activity in French!

By Alfredo

 

My favorite assignment in French was the count to ten video/drawing.One reason why I loved this homework assignment was the video I made. I thought it was really cool and I was so happy when I finished! From that assignment I learned how to count to ten in french, this is how you say it: Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre, Cinq, Six, Sept, Huit, Neuf and Dix. Here is my video

One other thing that I enjoyed was making my monster with the different colored body parts.

The Homework Machine,

By Alfredo

 

51xy5tsjzl-_sx324_bo1204203200_My Book Review is on The Homework Machine. This book is by Dan Gutman. In this book the main characters live in Arizona near the Grand Canyon. There are four main characters: Benton, the smart kid, Sam, the kid who thinks he’s cool, Kelsey, the kid who dyes her hair, and Judy, the teacher’s pet. The main problem is that Benton makes a homework machine and Sam, Judy, and Kelsey find out and start using it. If anyone found out about the homework machine, they would get in big trouble.

 

One event that changes the story is when this guy named Richard Milner e-mails questions to them like “What kind of computer software do you have?” Then after some of the kids get e-mails from Richard, they think maybe he knows about the homework machine! One big decision the main characters make is they all agree that when they are at school and they talk about the homework machine, they can’t say homework machine because they might get caught. They decide to make a code name for the homework machine and they choose Belch.“We needed a code name so we wouldn’t have to say “ the homework machine” out loud in front of other people.” Belch is a big part of the story but the problem does get resolved at the end of the book.

 

I enjoyed this book a lot. I liked how this story is kind of like a mystery. I also liked the idea of the homework machine. The main character’s personalities were very different but they got along. This book is for people who like mysteries and realistic fiction, because a homework machine could be invented. I would rate this book 4 & ½.
