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.

CER Question | Garner 3B
CER Question | Garner 3B
Cultural and historical contexts have shaped scientific discoveries in making the periodic table by helping organize atomic numbers, electron configuration, and chemical properties. John Newlands introduced his law of octaves in 1864 which helped part them into families/groups. This European man helped begin the organizing of the periodic table, along with other European men like Dmitri Mendeleev, John Dalton, Antoine Lavoisier, and many more. If these discoveries were instead made by women or those of a different race, they would probably be disregarded, especially due to the times of discovery like the 1800s. If these discoveries were disregarded, we would have had much less progress now and be unsure of parts of elements, researching them, and researching the periodic table.
Element Art Project | Garner 3B
Element Art Project | Garner 3B
For this project, the class had to research their chosen element and create a drawing based on its function. I was assigned "technetium" , and when researching this element I discovered that it is made for creating pictures of organs and bones. So, I made a drawing of an x-ray to show its main function.
Mount Rushmore Project - 10/03 | Garner 3B
Mount Rushmore Project - 10/03 | Garner 3B
For this project, I had to draw different representatives of chemistry as the men on mount Rushmore and write their accomplishments. I decided to draw Mendeleev, Dalton, Lavoisier, and Newland. I drew these men because they contributed greatly to the research of chemistry and the periodic table.
S'mores Chemical and Physical Changes Lab 8/02 | Garner 3B
S'mores Chemical and Physical Changes Lab 8/02 | Garner 3B
This lab was to experiment and note when chemical and physical changes happen. We did this by making s'mores and noting down changes that happened to the ingredients.
Paper Airplane Scientific Method Lab - 7/30 | Garner 3B
Paper Airplane Scientific Method Lab - 7/30 | Garner 3B
We tested how the change of mass can change the distance an object goes. We did this by making a paper airplane and flying it multiple times, each time adding two paper clips. Every time we flew this paper plane we measured the distance it flew to see how much it changed with mass.

Mandala Research - 9/23/2024 Kurt 3A
Mandalas are a form of symbolism that are often used for self improvement. For example, some are used for spiritual guidance to help people find sacred spaces. They can also be used for meditation by bringing relaxation and focus their attention. It is said that the patterns used in mandalas can help people become one with themselves and the universe.

Experiments with Lines - 7/31/2024 | Kurt 3A
In this assignment, we created our own pieces of art using only lines and simple instructions. This was to show the different outcomes of given instructions when drawing to represent different perspectives and experiments.
What is Art? - 7/29/2024 | Kurt 3A
What is Art? - 7/29/2024 | Kurt 3A
What does art mean to me and how can it play a role in academics and every day life? To me, art is a creation made with focus and intent, along with a deeper meaning, such as an opinion, feeling, or story. Art can play a role in academics because it can portray visions on certain topics. Art can be seen in subjects such as math and science because there are precise actions someone must take to end up with a certain result. Art can also be incorporated into history to show milestones, along with english to illustrate stories.
