BUT IS IT ART? 7-29-24
To me is art is something that makes you feel some way. You as a person can decide what's art and what's not. In the video the banana taped to the wall makes you feel confused or you find the humor in it. You can incorporate other subjects into your art. For example you can incorporate ELA into art by writing or using others' writing.

what does physics have to do with your robot?
Physics helps robots move, sense, and interact with the world. It explains how forces work, controls movement, and ensures robots use energy efficiently. Physics explains the forces and motions that allow robots to move. In robotics, kinematics is used to model and control the motion of robotic arms, legs, or other components. Dynamics involves the forces that cause motion. Understanding dynamics helps in controlling how a robot moves and ensuring stability, especially in complex environments.

Today, we completed writing the final scenes of our play, which focused on explaining different dynasties in China. Each scene highlighted the unique contributions and characteristics of various dynasties, such as the military unification under the Qin, the cultural flourishing during the Tang, and the advancements in technology and trade under the Song. Through these final scenes, we aimed to capture both the historical significance and the cultural evolution that defined China's rich dynastic history, ensuring a comprehensive narrative for our audience.

Today, we conducted table reads in class for our short films, receiving feedback from both peers and instructors. This allowed us to refine our scripts, dialogue, and pacing based on the reactions and suggestions from the group. The input helped highlight areas for improvement and polish, bringing our stories closer to their final versions.

Today we had dads garage come in and teach us about improv. First we did a name game to get us out of our comfort zone, then we did a game where you had to ask the person next to you a question and they had to give 5 answers. Finally we did an activity called thats right bob where 2 people acted as news castors. This class was very interesting and fun because people got to open up and learn about improv and how it can be used in our 5 minute videos.
What does physics have to do with my ultrasonic sensor?
What does physics have to do with my ultrasonic sensor?
Physics plays a central role in how my ultrasonic sensor functions, especially when it comes to measuring distances. An ultrasonic sensor uses ultrasound, which refers to sound waves with a frequency above the audible hearing range of humans. Since we can't hear these high-pitched waves, they’re perfect for sensing objects without physical contact. This kind of measurement is known as non-contact range detection.
The hardware of an ultrasonic sensor consists of a trigger pin and an echo pin. When I send a signal to the trigger pin, the sensor emits an ultrasound pulse. The sensor then waits for the sound waves to bounce back from an object. When the echo returns, the sensor receives it through the echo pin and measures the time it took for the wave to return.
By using the speed of sound we can calculate the distance to the object. The formulas we use arew:
Distance = Speed x Time
We divide by 2 because the time measured includes the wave traveling to the object and back. The measuring angle of the sensor is typically narrow, which ensures accurate detection within a defined area.
In conclusion, understanding the physics behind the ultrasound, the role of the sensor, and how time relates to distance is crucial in making the sensor work effectively. Being familiar with the hardware components, including the trigger pin and echo pin, also helps in troubleshooting and maximizing the use of the sensor in various projects.
My example calculation is:
Distance = ( 0.0480 cm/µs x 750µs) /2
Which equals 18 centimeters

The artista sunstar was made by stephen Meakin, he is a mandala artist from northern europe. this mandala was made in 2016 This visually nourishing mandala has subtle Egyptian themed blooming Blue Lotus detail. Mandalas appear in different civilizations because their symmetrical, circular patterns symbolize universal concepts like balance, harmony, and the structure of the universe, which resonate with human cognition and spirituality. Key design principles in mandalas include symmetry, repetition, and unity, creating visually balanced and meditative artworks.

Today we filmed our first and fourth scene. We filmed our fourth scene outside next to the practice gym. Our second scene included Victor and zachary as two of the dynasties and me as the narrator.Our first scene included chloe and zachary as two of the dynasties and me as the narrator. And we filmed our first scene on the green screen outside of Dr. Garners room.

Today, we planned for our presentations on our short films, focusing on how to effectively convey our creative vision and production process to the class. This included organizing key talking points like plot development, character dynamics, and technical choices such as camera angles or sound design. We also discussed ways to highlight the challenges we faced during filming and how we resolved them, ensuring our presentations would be both informative and engaging for our audience.
Paper Weaving - 1/6/25 - art
Paper Weaving - 1/6/25 - art
This paper weaving demonstrates the differences between covalent and ionic bonds. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, depicted by tightly woven strips to symbolize the strong bond formed by shared electron pairs. In contrast, ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, represented by loosely woven strips with visible gaps, indicating the electrostatic attraction between ions. This visual metaphor simplifies the concept of chemical bonding, helping to understand how atomic interactions create molecules or compounds.

How We Made the Heart-Shaped Basket 1/8/25 - art
We started by cutting strips of paper and weaving them together to form the heart shape. The process was slow but rewarding as we shaped each row to fit just right, creating a solid base and a smooth flow towards the top. For my heart I used pink and red paper and I did 4 different cuts to make it a little more challenging.

We made ink by using soot from burning a candle on a spoon to make ink. This relates to chemistry because its a combustion reaction because it releases carbon in the soot. our ink was successful because we all worked together and put the soot in one cup and shared it so we would have more.

The goal of this project was to create a table setting that reflects elements of the Columbian Exchange.Each class contributed to a different aspect of the project. In chemistry, we studied food deserts and created presentations on the topic. In art, we crafted a dining set that showcased pottery styles from various countries. For our set, we sculpted foods that were exchanged during the Columbian Exchange, such as corn, turkey, grapes, and rice. We used techniques we learned throughout the semester, including slabbing, pinching, scoring, slipping, and blending. I think we were all very happy with our final product. One thing I would change if we had more time would be making new grapes because our grapes came out brown.

How might cultural and historical contexts have shaped scientific discoveries in making the periodic table?
The development of the periodic table was deeply influenced by cultural and historical contexts, such as the rise of alchemy, the Industrial Revolution, and global exploration. Alchemists' early experiments with elements laid the groundwork for later scientific methods, while the industrial demands of the 18th and 19th centuries accelerated the discovery of new materials and elements. The cultural exchange during this period, particularly during European exploration, introduced new minerals, aiding in the refinement of the periodic table. Additionally, the backgrounds and approaches of scientists like Dmitri Mendeleev were shaped by the scientific cultures of their countries, while global events such as the World Wars spurred technological innovations that led to the discovery of transuranium elements. These historical shifts shaped the way scientists understood and classified elements, leading to the creation of a systematic periodic framework.
