Population Graphing

In math, we are working on graphing the population of the world since 1oo,ooo BCE. This is a picture of my graph. Ana just told us that the population at 8,ooo    IMG_1916BCE was 5,ooo,ooo. That’s so little! I mostly just guessed for some of them because Ana didn’t tell us. I had a lot of trouble figuring out what to skip count by. Thank you and goodbye.

Social Studies Project

On Friday, in social studies, we were given a pile of index cards. They had events from The History Of The World In 2 hours written on them and we were told to put them in chronologic order. My group knew approximately around what time most of the cards were but we couldn’t figure out which came first specifically. We learned that bony fish came before the Permian Extinction because they would have to if they were gong to evolve into land animals and then die out to make room for us. (Some people were unclear on that subject.) Here is a photo of what we did.photo

Atom

Screen shot 2014-10-08 at 7.14.09 PMToday in science class we designed atoms. (Or what we thought were atoms.) I did this because all of the different with cells in the atoms. Also, it is colored black because I would have thought it would be clear.

Planners

My idea for the planners are that it is in a binder and we put the word cloud on the cover. We should have a tab sticking out on the top to represent each month. Inside that we can have tabs for each day. That will get rid of trying to find the date. We should also have a picture for each subject. For example science could be a test tube or something related to the subject. Finally, we should have it be in more colors than just boring black and white. We are not dull kids. Why should our planners be dull?
