our anchor chart has been a huge part of our science classes and it is what we demonstrate our knowledge on for example in class if we learned about chemical vs physical reactions then we would write about what we did that day in science and how chemical and physical reactions work and what they are. Also on my Anchor chart my grade was a meets+ this is because I worked really hard on my work and demonstrated my knowledge clearly and consistently in a understandable way and this means that my work was very top category example work and in one of my grading rubric sections I got an exceeds! Also for future anchor charts I hope to get an exceeds for my work even thought this grade is way higher than the class expectation I feel that with my work ethic next time I will be able to do even better and hopefully get a exceeds! Also to get this grade of an exceeds I think I will keep a lot of key components that I made in my anchor chart such as telling the reader about my day instead of just stating facts and stuff also I may gather others opinions on my work and feedback so that if some people don't understand it I can shift my writing style so that everybody can understand it!

this was a lab where we learned about Endo and exothermic reactions and how exothermic reactions product heat and Endothermic reactions are cold and take in heat.

an Ionic Bond is where a non-metal and a metal Bond and on atom gives a electron and one takes one to complete it's valance shell and a covalent bond is where a non metal and a metal or a non metal and a non metal bond and they share a electron to complete their valence electron shell one example of a Ionic Bond would be sodium chloride which is table salt and a covalent bond would be H20 which is two hydrogen and one oxygen AKA water.

On this test most of the content was about stuff we have been studying for example Ionic and covalent bonds and exothermic and endothermic reactions and atomic equations so this test basically summed up all we have been learning. Also on this test I got a meets+ for my grade this is because I did a lot of studying on the topics and researched a lot to prepare myself for the test. Also I think a good next goal for my next quiz and or test would be to aim for a Exceeds and maybe one way I can do this is doing a lot of studying and mentally preparing myself for questions I might see on the test.

In this exhibition we learned a lot about science and our goal for this unit was to establish a learning foundation on chemistry and atomic chemical reactions and we did this by researching a reaction topic and mine was elephant toothpaste and we did this by doing a ton a research on the chemical components of the reaction and how it works and how everything bonds and breaks to form something new and make the cool reaction work! For example I learned that covalent bonds are were 2 atoms share a electron to complete their valance shell and in a ionic bond it is were 2 atoms bond and one atom takes a electron and one gives a electron to complete their valance shells. Also my final grade for this exhibition was a Exceeds!!!

Also we made a letter to a future student about this topic!

take a look!

we made a poster on our chemical reaction describing the science behind it!!!

we have begun research on how waves work in science in order to leads up to our escape room exhibition!!!

In this quiz most of the content was about waves and electromagnetism as explained in the title. The grade I got on my quiz was a 9/9 which is basically a meets+ and I am super proud of myself because I worked hard and barely had to use my anchor chart. I think a good goal for next time would be to aim for an exceeds and make no room for error that way I will become a excelled learner and be all set for high school!!!

The purpose of our anchor chart is to show our understanding of the topic in our own words. For this anchor chart I got the grade of an exceeds because of all the effort and detail I put into my writing. For my next anchor chart I hope to get an exceeds because that is the highest grade that I can get and it would really prove my understanding of the topic and boost my learning even more. In order to get this grade on my next anchor chart I will have to work very hard, pay attention in class, and choose to not procrastinate and always put effort in.

some things that went well for my group was the general flow because all of the puzzles were discovered in a organized way so that they were already set up to find the next puzzle. Also I think that all the puzzles were the perfect difficulty because while they did need some hints, they overall did it themselves and it was still satisfying when they escaped. Another thing that went well was the set up before the parents came in because we were able to get everything ready despite Olive not being there. I think that something challenging for our players was my puzzle specifically because there was some confusion and I realized that I had some miscommunication in my puzzle. Another thing that was hard for our players was Shawn's puzzle/decorative artifact  because when they shined the light on the mirror they were confused and what it did but eventually they realized that the light reflection was pointing under the table were they discovered the next puzzle. Also something that was difficult for our group was the full inclusiveness of the escape room because when they were trying to escape they were really focusing on the puzzles on the table but little did they know that there were clues and stuff hidden all over the place! I think that based on the feedback they gave us, they learned a ton and were really impressed with all of the info needed to escape. When they were on Shawn's mirror trick they realized from reading that reflection must have to do something with it and that shows that they were really able to absorb the knowledge and use it! Another thing that shows how much they learned was when they were on Elise's puzzle they decoded the picture sentence which was "how many cones do birds have" and after reading her article they realized that birds have 3 cones and that was the solution to the puzzle and this shows how they used the knowledge to solve the puzzle. I really think that the room members felt really included because almost the whole room had a role in helping them escape. Shawn's mirror really played a inclusive role in the room because even though it was tucked up in the corner it was still vital to solving his puzzle. Also on my puzzle they would have never escaped if they hadn't realized that my briefcase had the key to finding out the 4 number code. If I was to design this escape room again I think that I would change my second puzzle a little bit because my riddle made some confusion and there was some miscommunication. Also I think that it would be super cool if there were more rooms instead of just one tent and in that case I would add more puzzles and add some more physical clues and puzzles instead of just having computers and papers. The last thing that I would change in our escape room is the decorations because if I had time I would add a lot more decorations like train windows and seats and coffee cups from a in cart bar because that would really add to the vibe and make it the best it could be! Overall I think that my group communicated perfectly. My group and I were able to make connections with our puzzles and we made the exhibition flow very smooth and it was very well planned. Also even though we had great communication we still had some hard parts along the way for example when we were assigning our roles on what to talk about some of us wanted the same thing but after some strategic delegation we came to an equal consensus.

I told a scientific wave riddle in order for them to translate the answer into a number!

rockets are a huge scientific development and a lot goes into launching them one aspect being newton's 3 laws. The first law, an object in motion will stay in motion, This applies to rockets by stating that if a rocket is still then it will stay still unless acted upon by an external force and a rocket that is flying will continue to move through the air. The second law which is force=mass times acceleration applies to rockets by saying a rockets mass multiplied by its acceleration will give you it's force and scientists need to know this because you need to have a specific amount of force in order to break through the atmosphere. The 3rd law states that for every action there is an opposite reaction and scientists need to know this because they need to push fire and fuel out of the rocket in order to go up and so while the rocket is going up the burned fuel is going down. A fun fact that I learned while doing this was that rockets actually push off of the air inside of the rocket in order to go up. This assignment helped me prepare for my rocket launch exhibition by putting me in the know of how Newton's 3 laws will affect my rocket and how I can counter that of use it to my advantage!

The egg drop is a type of experiment that demonstrates 2 types of energy. Kinetic energy and potential energy. My group won the egg drop challenge with the lightest ship and it didn't break. Potential energy is calculated by multiplying the height by the mass by gravity and so we would take 65 grams and multiply it by 9.81 and then times it by 9.14 meters and that is 5828.121J= potential energy of the egg also J stands for joules which is the measurement of energy. The average velocity of the egg is calculated height divided by time which for my egg was 1.60 and then to find the average kinetic energy you square the velocity and then multiply it by the mass and then divide it by two which for my egg was 83.2= average kinetic energy. Mass plays a huge factor in impact force because the bigger the mass the stronger the impact force. This is because weight and mass is impacted by gravity and so since something bigger is more affected by gravity it will hit the ground with more force because of the influence that gravity has on the mass. Overall I think that there were a lot of successful ways to reduce the total impact force on the egg but personally I think the cotton ball impact reduction way would work the best because if you layered cotton balls and cardboard on top of each other then they would act as shock resistant cushions and by the time the force hits the egg it would be very minimal or no force at all do to the movable protective layers but that would be very heavy and in this competition we needed the lightest contraption with the surviving egg to win so my team used the straw cage method were we made a triangular prism with a space in the middle for the egg and when the contraption hit the ground the impact energy would make an energy transfer up the straws and not into the egg and this worked beautifully because we successfully had the lightest ship and the egg didn't break! During the actual rocket launch exhibition I think that a more compact cushioning type of contraption would work best because no matter how the rocket moves or falls the egg will be safely padded no matter which way it gets shook or moved during the rocket launch.

In this anchor chart we studied weight, mass, density, volume, speed, acceleration, velocity, and the 3 laws of motion. We learned a lot and we will be using this knowledge to plan and make a rocket to launch into the sky and try to protect the egg inside. on the first quiz I got a Meets. On the second quiz I got a Meets. And on the 3rd quiz I got a Meets and there were no exceeds grades to be given. I got these grades because I had a detailed anchor chart with lots of info and I studied the stuff so that I was ultimately prepared for the quizzes. On a scale of 1-5 I think that I put in a level 5 amount of effort into my anchor chart. I spent a lot of time on it, added lots of required and extra information, and made it look nice and organised. This was the last anchor chart of the year and definitely think there could be improvements for one I think that I would have been really smart to do my anchor chart digitally the first 2 times because this just makes it very easy to organize and write and you can add elements that you can't add easily on paper. So if I could change something that is what I would have done! I can prepare for high school by making planners and anchor charts to study off of in order to get the best test results and overall grow in my intellectual ability as a whole.
