The purpose of the Black History Month project was to recognize and celebrate the achievements and contributions of influential Black individuals
For my Black History Month project, I researched Halle Berry and learned about her impact on the film industry. I discovered that she became the first Black woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Monster's Ball. Learning about her journey helped me understand the challenges many Black actors have faced in Hollywood and how important representation is in movies. I realized how important her accomplishment was because it opened doors for more diversity in Hollywood. This project showed me how determination and talent can break barriers and inspire others.
As a thinker, I developed a better understanding of social issues like representation and inequality, and I learned to reflect on how one person’s achievements can influence an entire industry. This project showed me that determination and talent can break barriers, and it helped me grow academically while also gaining a greater appreciation for diversity and representation in film.
Newtons Rockets
We were given 3 straws and had to improvise and use 3 more straws to give it balance
We filled the water bottle halfway with vinegar using a funnel and tested the balance that the straws provided
We ripped the 2-plie toilet paper in half and poured baking soda in it.
Outside we dropped the tissue with the baking soda in it into the bottle put the cork in it, shook it up and turned it upside down and it launched (kind of). It didn't really launch because we didn't shake it up enough.

It was Newtons 3nd Law because the thrust provide an opposite reaction that makes it go up.
Newtons Cradle
First we used popsicle sticks to make a cube using hot glue, we had 7 marbles and 6inch strings, and we took the strings and hot glued them around the marbles. Then we took both ends of the strings and hot glued them to the top of the cube, and the marble hung down in the middle. We glued another popsicle stick on top of the strings so that they would stay. The element of art used was form because the cradle had 3-dimensional shapes expressing length, width, and depths. The cradle was in the shape of a cube which is a form.
