Science reflection

1. Describe characteristics of different chemical reactions. (PS2.8A)

Matches: when you strike the match powdered glass and red phosphorus make up friction therefore ignites the match and what makes the match ignite is Antimony Trisulfide in the red part of the match.

Acid/base:Realizes Endothermic reaction meaning it gets cold, carbon dioxide and sodium bicarbonate

Iodine/starch: changes color

Indicator: color change

Dont talk about ooblek u can less you say it is not a chemical change…

1. Describe the chemical makeup of baking powder. (PS1.8B)
A: Backing soda: NaHCO3 and Cream of tartar: KC4H5O6

2. Describe the process you used to determine the unknown substance.(SI1.A)
We knew that
A: The unknown substance is backing soda. We already knew that backing soda and vinegar had a chemical reaction that fizzes a lot and when we tried mixing vinegar with the substance it did the same reaction so we now we know that it is backing soda

3. Describe the process you used to determine which two substances make up baking powder. (SI1.A)
A: We were testing out what iodine would do to the given chemicals and we saw that with backing powder the color changed (to a purple) and and It started to slightly fizz so when we tried mixing backing soda and cream of tartar and we got a slight fizz and light purple.

4. What are some important safety considerations for a Middle School Chemistry lab?(SI.1A)  
A:Attire: long pants, lab coat, no necklaces, tie your hair if long

2 .personal protective equipment: glasses, don't touch any thing, lab coat.

3. chemical safety: know the chemicals you are using.

4. safety equipment: fire extinguisher close by and again safety glasses.

5. lab behavior:  clean up your mess, listen to instructions and no tasting.

Middle school


Diary of a wimpy kid


The bad beginning


4. Raina telgemeier


I like books that are kids around my age talking about a point in their life. Like smile she was 12 years old or diary of a wimpy kid he's I think 12 too and Middle school he is in 7th grade. When I like a book i don't stop reading unless I finish the book or I'm really tired.

In my opinion my favorite poem is Jollyness because it might be short but it has the best meaning behind it, it has a warm feeling when you read it.

The most challenging parts were trying to to write the comments on my poem especially analyzing rhyme, internal rhyme, assonance and alliteration, The most challenging poem was "Where i'm from" because i'm not good in memory and in the where i'm from we had to think of when we were younger but my mum helped me a little.

If I had one more chance, I would use more rhyme, internal rhyme, assonance and alliteration because I got a B on it.

Science reflection

I Learned mostly about the infiltration and transpiration, I didn't evan know that was part of the water cycle it was very interesting. I learned that sometimes you will not always get the best parter but you just have to deal with it and you shouldn't always choose you friend. You have to try a lot of different types of prototypes your first one will probably never work you have to try different design till one works.

Erosion prevention System

Summative Reflection: E-blogger Post

1. What conflicts did your team have?

A: I think the conflict with our group was Argue about ideas that mostly were not related to anything of science

1. How did you overcome those conflicts?

A: We decided to not complain any more and just do what we had to do and it worked out

1. How did you improvise?  

A: I had to change every thing the whole idea at the last moments because we saw our land and it changed it wasn't the same as before i had to make a huge barrier to protect the houses so i made it out of the hard mud and put the houses behind that wall and it helped a lot it WORKED!!! 

*** 4***How can science help people with erosion and landslides?   ***(answer counts for 3 summative grades)
A: It can help to prevent erosions and landslides that can happen and block the area or it can also help with where people place their house because if they put it close to a river that is eroding Sience can help them to place it further away or in a diffrent place.

Smart goals grade 7

1. For my personal I will try to beat my dad 3 times in a row in ping pong by December at my house's ping pong table so it will make me feel better about my self and make my dad know that I improve
a lot.

2.  I would like to get better grades in math because i haven't been getting good grades in math before December on power school because my dad said that if i started getting better grades in important subjects such as math,science and l.a and s.s he will give me some thing nice as a present.

3.  In L.A I would like to improve my spelling and start reading more books before the end of the school year at home on my desk because when I'm not the best at spelling and i some times at home I pretend to read books but i acctualy look at my phone or computer and when my dad or mum come in I close them and start reading.

4. I would like to start getting better at reading and writing Chinese by the end of the year In the Chinese classroom It will make me feel better about my self and I will make my parents proud.

Post Classical Era Empire Research

We presented on the islamic caliphates and I was geographical span.

The islamic caliphates were similar to most empires because their was always one emperor that made the empire expand a lot.Islamic caliphates were also  similar to the the tang because they both used mathematics and chemistry.

The islamic caliphates were different to the tang because the tang and the islamic caliphates had different religions, They were also different to the Medieval Empire because They weren't an independent country Robert the Bruce made scotland and independent country.

It was difficult to chose what part of the empire you were in took us around 30 minutes, What I would do differently is getting more parts to talk about because I only had one slide and it was the shortest one.

I learned how to improve my slides because I would usually add a bunch of words in the slide and no pictures, know I now that you need to put very little words and at least 3-4 pictures, It will help me a lot in the future because I'm sure i'll make more presentations.
