Use this sticker as you seek understanding of the assignment or problem. Typically this will come from the community, your instructor, or your own observation. You must completely understand the objectives of the project to be successful, so this step is crucial. Develop active listening skills! Entry events for a project are usually a great place to start!
Use this sticker as you examine a problem from all angles. Ask questions, observe people, situations, and artifacts. Develop empathy for the problem that people facing the situation are experiencing. Find out what you know and what you need to know. Explore all of it!
Use this sticker as you are discussing and exploring ideas for how to solve a problem. Record these ideas quickly. Ideas may come in the form of graphic organizers, notes, drawings, outlines, or video blogs. Remember to seek feedback before progressing to the next step (then use the Evaluation/Modification sticker).
Use this sticker as you share your more formal ideas--3-d prototypes, mock-ups, drafts, skits, simulations, and storyboards. Remember to seek feedback before progressing to the next step (then use the Evaluation/Modification sticker).
Use this sticker when you are evaluating your decisions at each step in the process. When you note a user’s feedback also note what you intend to do about it going forward.
Use this sticker to explain how you are trying your prototype with real users. Try it out and note the way it performs and is understood by a real audience. Explain methodology and note observations.

First I used a cylinder and extended it upwards to make a stem. Then I used spheres and aligned them in the shape of a flower. Next I made leaves using the paraboloid by changing the size and rotating the shape and placing them on the side of the stem. After I made the leaves I made a pot. I used the cone and changed the top radius. Then I used a cylinder and made it very thin and placed it on top of the pot to look like dirt. Lastly I used the ring to go around the pot.

Infinity Mirror
Physics applies to the infinity mirror because it reflects light.
How it works:
There is mirror at the bottom of the box and LEDs around the inside. The box is made out of cardboard which is non-luminous. The mirror is opaque and reflects the light towards the eye. The LEDs are luminous objects because they are giving off light. The lid of the box has a mirror on one side and a translucent side to see through the box. The light outside of the box sends an incident ray onto the lid of the box. LED lights are reflected off the mirror inside the box making an effect that the lights keep going forever.

Don'ts:
Put fingers near blade
Cross cut
Cut materials with screws or nails
Architecture
Geometry and architecture go hand and hand. Architecture is the science or art of a building. Geometry is a type of math that deals with shapes and figures. Architects also make drawings of buildings and geometry relates to buildings and nature.
Polynomials
When learning polynomials I learned about degrees, names of polynomials, adding polynomials, subtracting polynomials, and multiplying polynomials. I learned that the degree is the highest exponent in the expression. The name of polynomials is how many terms are in the expression.
This person is not using the saw safely because their fingers are too close to the saw.
Band Saw
Do's:
Wear safety goggles
Tuck away loose clothing
Ask before use
Don't:
Use without permission
Get distracted
Leave the saw on without anybody operating it

Why is dance important to me?
Dance is important to me because I get to express different feelings through dance. I like to see dances form and come together for performances. I also enjoy performing. A personal goal I have for myself is to get more flexible, work on memorizing the dance moves and their names, and being more confident when I dance. I want to get more flexible so my jumps and splits will get better for cheer. I want to work on memorizing dance moves and the names so I can know exactly what I’m doing. Lastly, I want to be more confident when I dance because I want to be able to get up in front of people and perform by myself.
