I chose my style because I have Irish roots and I wanted to make music to celebrate that. I learned that in Irish music that measures repeat like 4 times. I also learned that the 2 main notes in the style are G and D. And the most common instruments used in Irish folk music are the Fiddle,Tin whistle, Flute, and Uilleann pipes
Family Conferences
My tessilation
This is my tessellation. A tessilation is a pattern that could repeat over and over again and never end. A challenge that I had was figuring out how it would repeat. But it worked out. It is made of squares and triangles. I am really proud of my tessilation.
My Venn diagram
This is my venn diagram. The most challenging thing about it was arranging the square, rhombus and rectangle because they all have to go together. But not all rectangles are rhombuses. I felt proud when it was finished.
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.
My Math Puzzle
My clues are:
My number is a factor of 90
My number is a prime number
My number is odd
My number is less than 50
My First Composition! ._.
I worked very hard on this composition. At first it was all consonance and very mellow it turned in to a very moving piece. I am looking forward to having it played!
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.
Chronology Blog Post
On Friday the 10th of October during social studies we put events of the universe in chronological order. Some confusions we had were with the human events because if you think about it humans haven’t been in the world for very long so everything happened so fast. I learned that the universe has been around for a long time and had many events but it still has not been forever.
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.
The 20 Meter Track Problem
I think in A, the graph on the top does not belong to A, B or C. Because it does not stop, go slow or start at the half way point. In A I think the correct ones were the ones on the bottom. I think that because they stop but not for a long amount of time and then the rest of the graph is slower. I don’t think a lot of the problems where they are positoned is correct. I think the other to in A are correct because the people just walked for different amount of times. Because the problem never said how long the people on the 20 meter track walked for
