In class we have been creating our own hero to help solve the UN goals. This is my Origin story and It is about my super Hero Waterways and above shows my story board I made to out line what my story is about.
In class we have read both novels The Odyssey and Beowulf. In the odyssey Odysseus is the hero. You may ask how and what he does. Odysseus is born a prince of Ithaca in Ancient Greece. He was injured by a boar while hunting which caused a scar that never fades. His power is given a bow by the prince of Messina that no one except for Odysseus can string and shoot. Beowulf's origin is mostly unknown . He is born to a father who is known to be a strong warrior. He claims to have killed a race of giants and monsters on land and sea before arriving in Denmark. Beowulf has the handgrip of 30 men, so he must have realized this during an early fight. In my opinion Beowulf is more heroic than Odysseus. Beowulf heroic because he is not selfish and he fights fair. I know this because in the book Beowulf saves the Danes of Demark from the ferocious monster. That shows Beowulf is brave but mainly doing it for his good. Also when Beowulf fights Grendel he fights him with no weapons nor he wear shield, Which shows that Beowulf believes that you should have even fight. Although Odysseys and Beowulf are both brave Beowulf is more heroic because he is not selfish. I believe Beowulf is the definition of a hero.

In government we have been learning about the Amendments and how they are in role to protect the people. Above shows my have made book of all 27 Amendments. I used that to help me remember my amendments. We was assigned a project on the different types of cases that has to do with one amendments. I chose to do the Miranda vs. Arizona case.
In government we have been learning the different types of governments and what they role are. The tree types of government are Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. We also talked about the different types of economic systems other countries have. (assignment)This assignments tells us the different governments systems and how they work.
The five themes of geography are ~

I learned how to solve equations by graphing. When solving an equation and graphing it you first have to remember Y=mx+b. So, based off the problems you have to graph the y-axis first for equation 1. Then used the rise over run method on x-axis. After the graphing problem I do the same for problem 2 on the same graph. When you are done graphing you will have one situation/ infinite/ or no solution . That's how you solve equations by graphing.
I learned how to solve Linear Inequalities by looking at the graph and see if the inequality is less than, less than or equal to, grater than, greater than or equal to. When you re solving that you have to look at the line and if it's bold then it will either be less than or equal to or greater than or equal to. If is an dotted line it will either grater than or less than. You also have to look at which side of the line is shaded to tell if it's less than or grater than. If it's shaded above the line it's grater and if it's below the line it is less than. That's how you solve linear inequalities.
We have been recently working on our PBL project. According to Our PBL project we had to create this brain teaser. Since my my super hero was waterway and she's a myriad. I decided to used pictures that represented my UN goal and my super hero. To see my equation and solve it click " Super Hero Puzzle"

This is my word art with using 20 vocabulary words which I have used in math this year.
In science we learned how to classify matter from substance and Mixture to Element, Compound, Heterogenous, and Homogenous. We even know how to classify matter by looking at molecules. You may ask how, well I know a substance is all particles in matter are identical. And to remember substances can only be found on the periodic table. So, if you see molecules that's same color (which represents 1 element)its an element. (Ex. Helium, Argon, and Neon) If it's on 2 or more elements that's chemical combined is an Compound. (Ex. H2O and NaCl are compounds) A mixture is two or more substances physically combined. To tell if something homogeneous you can't see the components/ingredients in the substance.(Ex. Bleach, Lemonade, Blood and, Coffee) To tell if a mixture is heterogenous you can see the components/ingredients. (Ex. salad, dressing, cereal, and peanut butter) That's how I learned how to classify matter.
We also learned about the periodic table and how it works. The periodic table has 7 periods. (#of rows/ side to side) It also has 18 groups. (# of columns/ up and down) There is 3 sections of the PT which are the metals, metalloids, and non metals. Group 1 is called Alkali metals and it has 1 valence electrons, the 2nd group is called Alkaline Earth metals and has 2 valence electrons, group 3 is called Rare earth metals ,groups 4-12 is called transition metals, 13th group is called Boron group and it has 3 valence electrons, the 14th group is called Carbon group and it has 4 valence electrons, group 15 is called Nitrogen group and it has 5 valence electrons, group 16 is called Oxygen group and it has 6 valence electrons, group 17 is called Halogens group, the last group 18 is called Noble gasses and it has 8 valence electrons except helium it has 2 valence electrons. The PT helps identify elements given a description by applying knowledge of the PT.
In tech we use a website called code.org which helps us program. Through out this semester we have been using it and it has taught be new language of coding. It also taught me in the first lesson how to program characters to move. Now I have gotten to the 10th lesson and I know how to create different animations, add text, how to get my charter to get from one place to another, and change colors of different objects. So I can really say code.org is a good programming site not only it taught be how to do different thing but it was fun!
In class we had to to create a piece of wearable technology for a client. My client was diabetic so I had create some types of technology and clothing to help this client. Not only I made technology but i came up with my own brand. Doing this project helped me understand what dietic people go through on the daily and what are some possible tech that could work to hep other patent with diabetes. (Click here to see my tech)
In tech we have been focusing on what we want be and what we want to learn what to do during genius hour. I made a vision board of what I want to be and do. While making this it has helped be because I used to not know what I wanted to be. Click here see
We had to find a robot that you feel is on the cutting edge of technology. This is my Modern robotics. Click Here
For my Genius project I started of learning how to invest and then started to make bracelets. This is my Genius hour journal. Click Here
This is my PBL project. We had to make a video showing and our superhero powers and what could we do to help solve our UN Goals. This is my video
This is my Amusement park the ride I mad was the "BOAT RAFTER" in this video it will explain all the details and what I made. I used my engineering skills to create this ride.
