Newtons three laws stated that a) ‘an object in motion will in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by force”and b) Net force is equal to mass times acceleration.and c) “for every action, there is an equal but opposite reactionthere are Quite a few examples of newtons laws that to consider, flying, driving, throwing a ball, dropping something, running into a wall, running into a door, falling down the stairs, something falling off of a desk, an apple falling out of a tree! (ect) more specific examples include a group of huskies pulling a sled, a plane were to come to a stop, and lose its acceleration, and maybe a paper air plane flying, and than running into a tree. Or a ball sitting on the ground, and being rolled.
this anchor chart goes over the forces of motion, it talks about Newtons 3 laws, the relationship between volume and density, and between velocity and speed. and height and velocity. we went over the ways that these forces apply to rocket science and how we can do that in short form, such as how the density effects the speed of the rocket, and how the speed and mass+density effect the take off and its stability. throughout the unit we took 3 quizzes the grades i got were an approaching, and a meets. i missed the first one and i don't believe i had a chance to make it up. on the second quiz i think my grade was reasonable because we ran out of time and i selected random for the last question i still had left. honestly if i could rate my effort for this it would my like a 3 because i love the topic of this unit and its a big passion of mine, and most of it relates to my dream career of aviation but i got kind of lazy with the anchor chart, i think its because its the last one i had to do and i just kinda wanted to write down the jot dots, but overall I don't think i did bad on the anchor chart, i just could have done better.
I can demonstrate my understanding of wave physics by designing and constructing an escape room that incorporates these principles effectively.
I felt like my players did really well with our escape room, they had a few key factors that really brought the group together while they were working on the puzzles. For example they decided to all work together as a group. I thought this worked really well for them because even though at first i thought it would have been better if they divided and concurred, they still happened to actually escape early and they all used there individual strategies and skills to figure things out. They also did really well with communicating despite pretty much none of them knowing each other. What i thought was funny was to see my mom have to talk to a bunch of people she didn't know. I also thought it was really cool to hear that one of the Dads really liked my morse code puzzle in the debrief and how it also involved math. It was really awesome to see how fun and engaging it was for the parents. It seemed a little bit challenging to figure out the difference between the actual clues and puzzles and just random artifacts, maybe because we added a few random things last second to make the room look better. But all of our actual decorative artifacts from what i could tell all connected to our actual escape room and that was also a really cool detail because it both added a lot of detail and a better scene to our escape room, and it also created a better and more proactive way to solve our puzzles. Like Damon's artifact with the buttons that connected to his amplitude clue, or how my two clues connected to each other, the journal entry and the riddle unscramble led to my morse code puzzle with the math equation that was hidden in my cardboard book decorative artifact. From the feedback that i heard during the debrief after the parents went through the escape room as well, i heard a lot that they had either learned, or relearned things about light and sound waves that ha gotten them exited to learn more about it. And i heard them repeat a lot of the things they learned, as well as talking about how much they enjoyed how engaging the puzzles were, and how on theme they were to the topic. The players mentioned that they really loved the ambiance of the room and how they thought that it was really cool how all of our artifacts connected to our clues and puzzles, one of them even being a literal puzzle. They also said that it was cool how we added really small easter eggs, and small details that might have accidentally thrown them off. They also thought that the soundscape was really cool, even though we lost the soundscape that we actually made we just listened to an hour of winter ambiance. And it set the mood really well, it also really helped to have a fourth cloth and turn off the lights, that with all our artifacts and the way we set it up really set the vibe well. But if i were to do it again i would definitely add a lot more details to my escape room, probably more lighting, but like an eerie bit though. And i would decorate the room better, add more details, i would also create a better decorative artifact and put more time and effort/planning into it. Overall i think my team did great on this exhibition, we worked really well together and did really good on the organizing, when it actually came to the points where we needed to communicate and work together the most we genuinely communicated and organized together great, and we finished everything on time. Our team was pretty productive and im honestly pretty happy i got to work with them.
in this unit so far we've been learning about the physics of waves and how they work. so far we've learned about how we receive the color that reflects from the sun than bounces off an object and than onto our retinas and than our brains receive a signal from it and sense the color. for this unit we will be doing an exhibition based off on a escape room where we will create puzzles that have to do with the scientific method. and the parents at the exhibition will have to solve thwe puzzles and go through the scape room.
anchor chart reflection:
for the wave physics topic we created an anchor chart to keep track of our progress in our learning and write down notes for the future. for my final grade on my anchor chart i got a meets, i beleive this is because i did well with filling it out daily and having all of the required entries, i as well put a lot of effort i nto my anchor chart and making sure that i had the required information that we got from that day. but one thing that was mentioned was that i was missing a few relevent images. and not missing any days specifically for the anchor chart. if ita possible i hope to get an exeeds on my next anchor. chart my goal to help me acomplish this is to explain my information better, and thoroughly orginize my chart.
this quiz was about the physics of waves this quiz was probably the worst score ive ever gotten on anything for science even though i personally am finding this unit very easy to understand. but i beleive i know exactly where i went wrong though so i dont really feel down about my knoledge because i remember specifically looking back on the quiz and seeing that i read some words wrong because they either look alike or i missed a question because I didnt see a question because i dont know why i was rushing but i was.
-not finished
This quiz was about showing our knoledge on atoms, atoms bonding, and just the overall structure of an atom. I got a 50% on this quiz but to be honest I just wanted to get it over with in the moment. a goal for future science quizzes ia to try a bit higher and meet my standard grade.
The grade I got was 5 out of 8, I have a feeling that I know exactly what three questions I got wrong and those were the chemical equations, this is because on the first day of doing the equations I was honestly kinda tired and didn't pay attention so I didn't really understand how to do the equations after that. my goal for the future is to try my best to understand everything no matter what and if I don't get something in class study it outside of school so that I can truly understand it and further extend my growth in what I'm passionate about such as chemistry which is something that I hate to see myself fail in.
for the first part of our chemistry unit we wrote a daily summary of what we learned that day in an anchor chart and decorated so that at the end of that part of our unit we could than turn it in for our teacher to review our descriptions on what we've learned.

this exhibition was generally about chemistry and chemical reactions. the reaction I preformed was zinc and Hydrochloric acid, in my reaction you add zn to hcl and it creates hydrogen bubbles that we filled a balloon with and blew it up. for the actual exhibition presentation we also added baking soda to the reaction to calm it down which creates some sort of reaction that pops.
letter to future student:
In little molas lake we explored the surroundings and we tested the water quality. Each group was assigned a role in the water quality, mine was the turbidity and we found that the turbidity of the water was zero jtu. The pH was 7 the temperature was between 51-64 the nitrates were 3.5 mg/l and the phosphates were at 1. My perspective changed with this project because I learned that the point of the water quality is important to aquatic life and the surroundings to be able to safely drink or breathe. It is important to understand the world surrounding us so that we are able to understand the safety of the wild life, animals we hunt, or simply just nature itself. One of the methods that i found interesting about this project was probably the method of checking the water quality i found it very intriguing that we've made it so simple to calculate the health of a lake.
