One project I worked on in the ninth grade was about a Black figure who inspired us the most. For this assignment, I chose Jean-Michel Basquiat. I selected him because I have seen his artwork in the past, and it immediately stood out to me as unique, expressive, and powerful. His style combines bold colors, symbols, and raw emotion, which makes his work feel very personal and meaningful.

For my immersive experience, I created a large whale shark model entirely out of cardboard and incorporated a mechanical system to bring it to life. I carefully designed and assembled the structure so that it would resemble the size and shape of a real whale shark, paying attention to details like the fins and body proportions. To enhance the realism, I built a simple mechanical mechanism that allowed parts of the whale shark to move, making it feel more dynamic and engaging. This movement helped create a more interactive experience for viewers, as it gave the impression that the whale shark was actually swimming. Overall, the project combined creativity, engineering, and hands-on problem-solving to turn a basic material like cardboard into a moving, immersive display.

In math we started our learning carrier by doing IXL HW which we did in our different groups  we learned about linear equations and and functions. We learned proper measurements for different Items   and diffrent thigs around the world.

 Newtons RocketsIn science class, we built rockets using simple materials like a water bottle, straws, vinegar, and baking soda. We combined these items to create a chemical reaction that would launch the rocket, and instead of using the typical three straws for support, we decided to use five straws to improve stability. By adding more straws, we were able to better balance the weight of the bottle and keep the rocket more upright before launch. This design choice connected to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction between the vinegar and baking soda created pressure that pushed downward, causing the rocket to launch upward. Overall, adjusting the number of straws helped us create a more stable and effective rocket.

Newtons cradle 

We made Newtons cradle first we  we cut string the same amount of length for each one.  The we made the structure for the  using hot glue and popsicle sticks. Then we put together the two together it started to look like the cradle. In this process we had to redo our design so we had to use repetition to quickly put our desing back together.
