Element Art

For the element art project the goal was to draw a picture to the element of your choice . The picture and element had to connect . My element was Americium which is used in smoke detectors so for my picture I drew a house on fire and at the top of the page is a smoke detector with my element name and number and Inside the smoke I included my element symbol

Bohr Modle

For this project, I chose an element from the periodic table. We had to make a model of the element's structure with the correct number of shells, protons, neutrons, and electrons represented.

History of the periodic table

For this assignment we had 6 options on how we wanted to display our knowledge on the history of the periodic table . I decided to draw this picture of the 4 men I thought were most influential and on a separate sheet of prepare I wrote the reasons I chose to draw them .

Labs

Anaysa Glover - Skittles Data Visualization

Skittle Graph

For this project my group was given 20 skittles and we had to count how many of each color we had. After we did that we made a graph on google sheets .

Bubble Lab

For the bubble lad we got three different types of soaps. Put a spoon full of it on the counter and used a straw to blow a bubble with it . After we blew the bubble we measured it and wrote down the measurements. We did this three times with each soap

Spanish

Spanish Colombia presentation(11/26/24)

This is me and my partner Christen Nash project on our place which was Colombia. For this project me and my partner had to give flight and hotel option for a trip to Colombia . We also had to give activity ideas and food options that people could try while they are on their vacation to Colombia. On this assignment me and my partner got a 90%

Anaysa Glover - Student Template - Libro de Recetas

Recipe Cards

For this project I was assigned a place which was Nicaragua. We had to find 2 recopies from this place one being a main corse and the second being a drink,appetizer, or a dessert.

Leer Travel Agency(11/14/24)

This wasn't a project but an assignment and I really enjoyed it because for this assighnment I had to read an email convo between a women and her travel agent. After I read the conversation I had to answer a series of questions. This was the first assignment that I completed where it really tested m y reading comperhension for Spanish

Anaysa Glover - Artistic Idol Project Outline

I chose my artist by going to the website that Dr.Kurt provided, “wikiart.org “. When I visited the website, that’s when I saw Georgia O’Keeffe’s artwork. The main thing that stood out to me in all of her pieces of work is the way that she uses different shades of colors to convey some sort of movement. That's why in my final artwork, I tried to do the same thing in the building and in the sky behind the buildings.

Mandala Research(9/23/24)

A mandala isn't specifically used for something, it is used to symbolize the many characteristics of different gods and is also the center of meditation. Mandals were used in history and are still used today. I feel like there is a lot of texture in mandalas due to all of the sand and there is also a big variety of colors in mandals, which are very vibrant. If my atom has a certain shape I can incorporate that shape into my mandala.

1 Day projects

Weaving

For the weaving bound lab, Dr.Kurt showed us multiple methods and ways to do types of bindings'. I chose to use a paper method at first and showed covalent bonds. I used yarn and cardboard for another method to make this cool pattern.

Dye Bonding (1/15/25)

For this lab, I think the anthocyanin of the blueberries and red cabbage came out when we put it in the building water. One thing I would adjust is letting the cloth sit for a little longer before squeezing it.Our technique is similar to this zebra striped method that we saw on the board because we used a beaker and twine to make the pattern.

Paper weaving (1/6/25)

For the paper weaving we cut up columns of two different colors of papers and on two other sheets we cut slits in it to slide the columns of paper through. This project represents the covalent bounds and we did that through the color patterns.

Making

For the paper making lab we got water and shreds of paper and we blended it . After we blended it we poured in a tub with water. We used some type of sifter to separate the paper from the watere. After that we worked to get all the water from the "pulp" then we pealed the newly made paper of the towl and put it on a sheet to dry.

What is Art To Me?(7/29/24)

In my opinion, art isn't about what the piece looks like, but what is the story behind the creation. The video we watched in class really helped me realize that. It could be something as simple as a banana taped to a wall with duct tape. Sometimes you have to think about the "why?" Why did someone want to do that? Some art is deeper than what is at face value. I believe that science has a very big art aspect that most people don't think about. The main example is the elephant toothpaste experiment. Just imagine the beautiful art that could be made if you did one of those experiments and put a blank white canvas under it. Also, there can be art in math. An example of that is if u go to Dezmos and type in certain equations you will get an intricate pattern of lines that looks really amazing to me.

Typography(9/5/24)

For this project I had to make a poster that had the name of my class. One new tool that I learned to use is the layer tool so I can select and edit the image, paint, or stamps. I think that my poster has texture and I also feel like it has a calm hue to is due to the different shades of blue. I like the creative freedom that we had on this project .I Like this project because I got to explore a lot of aspects of the Sketchpad website for now when we have other projects with creative freedom I can consider using Sketchpad as a website.

Engineering

Brief

On Shape

On-shape was a key factor in this project because all sides and pieces of my robot were made on on-shape. Onshape is a website where you can create and design different shapes and pieces of art.

Tools

I used both the laser cutter and the 3d printer. The laser cutter is how I printed out all of my on shape pieces and I used the 3D printer to print out my servo mount and caster wheel

Single point perspective drawing

This is my single point perspective drawing showing how I want my final robot to look.

Trial and Error

This is a picture of all of my wires plugged in for my Bluetooth module, ultrasonic sensor, and people.

This is after I unplugged my ultrasonic sensor and tried changing GP2 and Gp22 to Gp6 and Gp10

This is after I re-crimped the wires

Code documentation

Throughout this project we had many small projects like using a tool called the ultrasonic sensor . Code Doc:

Engineering note Book

This is my step-by-step and day-by-day progression of my robot. Engineering notebook

Final Robot Video

This is my robot and in the middle of the video the robot stops moving because I am turning on the lights

Reflection

Straight

How well does your robot go straight? Be thoughtful. Describe why, and if it isn’t functioning perfectly, describe exactly what you would change and how you think that would help improve that functionality.

My robot goes straight well. The weight distribution was also affecting the way that my robot turned because there needed to be more weight in the front. The more weight I had in the front the less it would drift to the left.

Turning

How well does your robot turn? Be thoughtful. Describe why, and if it isn’t functioning perfectly, describe exactly what you would change and how you think that would help improve that functionality.

I felt like my turning was almost perfect but there were two things. The first thing was that I had some issues because the sticks holding my back wheels would get caught on the track, so I had to cut them off after my first race also because of all of the weight in the front of the robot it would make the robot turn quickly which would shift the way some of the stuff was positioned on the inside.

Reflection Questions:

How has this project compared to other projects that you have done in your other classes? Be descriptive and insightful.

This project was different for me because I came from the Engineering Concepts class where I was used to more hands-on activities like using all the tools in the class and cutting wood as this project was more focused on the coding and technological aspects.

What would you change about your robot if you were to do this project again? Be very descriptive. How could you improve it moving forward?

For me, I would try and focus on getting a second electronic component on there like a speaker or something

What is the top skill that you think you know well enough that you could teach others and why?

I could teach students how to use If else statements properly because of the assignment that Ms.white had us do where we used if else statements in our everyday life

Ultra Sonic sensor

An ultra Sonic sensor has many components. An ultrasonic sensor uses ultrasound to sense things like walls it does this by using ultrasound. The sensors on the ultra-sonic sensor release ultra-sonic waves. The audible hearing range on our ultrasonic sensor is between 20 and 20000 hertz. The ultrasonic sensor is an example of hardware rather than software. The speed of sound on our ultrasonic sensor is 344 meters per second, The speed of sound is how quickly the sound goes between the sensors. The echo pin goes high when there is an ultra-sonic burst and stays high until it hears an echo. The trigger pin is what triggers the ultra-sonic sound pulses. The non-contact range is the range of which the ultrasonic sensor will be in distance. The measuring angle makes it so that the ultra-sonic sensor can detect things that are not directly in front of it.

World LIT(Shaping our World step by step )

9/24/24

Today was our first day of recording. Our two main characters weren't here so we only got to record our last scene and we got to do some run throughs of the over scenes so we no where we want to record it and how we want to record.

Script(9/5/24)

This is the script for our short film. This includes the credits stage directions and things like that

Group G.R.A.P.E.S(8/29/24)

This is our project for our short film, This is more like a brainstorming paper where we can put our information and prior knowledge of our civilization. My group was doing Classical Rome

Group contract(8/29/24)

This is my groups agreements on

AP-Comp Science

Short Stack

This is the first practice we did when coming to this coding class all we had to do was make the dog(karel) move forward drop 2 balls and then move forawrd agin

Digging

For this exersise we had to make a function where karel would move go down the hole drop a ball and come back up and then we just typed that funtions three times

Two towers

In this task I made 3 different functions so the Karell could build her two tower and end up on the top of the second tower facing the right way

Google Doc Assignments

For Loops

This assignment was to be done after finishing your code HS. The directions was to make a loop for the dog to get up the steps. So first I recognized the pattern to get up one step and I just put that in a loop.

Decomposition

The decomposition assignment is where we had to break down a "problem". In this case we had to make a code for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. So I made a function for putting the jelly and the penut butter on.

Semester 2 Learning Journal Check

Micro:Bit

For this project we had to open this code and edit it to make it our own. After I edited the code I made it so a song would play when you press button B and it will show the number 3
