English
In English we chose an item in our bedroom that we loved and wrote about it here. I chose my headphones to write about,
I also wrote a paper on something I believe in. I believe in having thick skin to get through life. I'm really proud of it. You can view that here.
For English we had to create a TedTalk. A TedTalk is a talk about something you feel is very important. We did a lot of research on our topic and incorperated ethos, pathos, and logos. We then presented to the whole class. Here is my TedTalk
For English we were told to write our own poem based on our social justice project. After All the poems were read we chose 5 to make a music video out of. Here is my poem and music video.
In English class we read how Mark Watney survived his situation We were given a hard situation we had to survive. We created a character and wrote in a journal as them writing how we were able to get through it. We then created a journal from scratch and an artifact. View pictures of my journal and artifact here.View my journals here.
Computer Science
For computer science we had to prove our knowledge by making a sheets document with some kind or realistic scenario. We then had to include formulas, functions, operations and etc. Sheets. We also read a book called How To Lie With Statistics. It taught us many different ways to lie using math and pictures. Here is my paper. For Computer science we used gliffy to make a branching system. I chose gauntlet because it had many endings. I then used twine to make a story that relates to my social justice issue. Twine is just a website that allows you to make stories with codes. Html is the what we used to help us code. Click down below to view it. For our next computer science project we had to create a game. Our game had to explain how we survived a difficult situation. I had to survive a mean family on a foreign exchange program.

Engineering
As a class we are building a monument to represent our freshman class. We decided on a bridge with a connected fence that you can paint however you want. We're currently getting together some supplies to start building. Pictures here |
For physics we had to make headphones that are decorated to match my social injustice. These headphones do actually work and you can see the process here. You can see pictures here. Physics In physics my group and I did an experiment with eggs. We wanted to know if the temperature off three eggs would impact the damage of a ten foot fall. Here is my lab report. My Ted project was to research wind turbines and build one myself. We chose our design, lengths, and shape for the turbine. We then brainstormed and chose our supplies to build it. We built it with cardboard and then tested it. My group ans I then built a base and created a sucessful wind turbine. Wind Turbine Sketch For our physics project we were required to make a rocket. We did this using a 2 liter bottle and air pressure. We had to make it safe for our eggstronaut to launch and come back down safely. Here you can see our brainstorm process. Here you can see a picture of our rocket. Here you can view my process paper. Here you can see a sketch of my wing design. |
