Shark Tank Population Writing & Graph

Shark Tank Population Graph made by Kate & Ella!

We have (DHK5) been playing a game that is a called Shark Tank. There are Sharks, Minnows and Seaweed. The object of the game is to expand all the populations while everyone eating at the same time. The sharks eat the Minnows, and the Minnows eat Seaweed. We had to come up with different rules as we went along, figuring it out as a team. But I know that is relates to the real world as well.

We are like the sharks in the game. We are the biggest and most powerful. We eat the Minnows, that’s like the food we eat. Chickens, Turkeys, Cows, etc. The Minnows eat Seaweed, and that’s their food.

This shows how the game taught us information that later related to our own world. But also there is another relation. We are currently building a Spaceship, and brainstorming ideas for how we can gather food and oxygen. Since you can’t get a unlimited amount of anything, we had to figure out something else. We figured out that Animals and Plants are a perfect solution’s! We can eat the animals (Sharks), the animals can eat the plants (Minnows), and the plants eat the sunlight (seaweed)!

In conclusion this game has taught us new information about our current study. I am excited to use animals in our spaceship planning!

The Atomic Model

unnamed unnamed-1

 

This is the atom I created in Science class. What I was inspired by was how inside an atom is energy, and around it I imagine for energy . Also I was also thinking from far away how the atom is just a small spec but when you zoomed in you could see all the energy just floating about  around the atom.

I think my module looks most like John Daltons because he shows in his module how he shows the atom can not be divided into smaller pieces nor destroyed. Also how in his view the atom did bot have electrons or neutrons or protons. Just like my module because I hadn’t a clue about what those were before our deep lesson about them.

What I have learned from this is a lot about the parts of the atom. The nucleus, protons, neutrons, electrons. I had no idea what they were but now I have a pretty good understanding of an atom I do understand. The nucleus is what the middle of the atom is made up of. Then the protons and neutrons that are positive and negative are also surrounding the nucleus.  Also the electrons are orbiting around in super fast speed to create an atom.
