Summary: To prepare for the charity fair, we had to do many things. First, we decided which charity we were going to support and the partners we were going to have. Then we gathered research on our charity like, what it does with the money, and what its mission is and what it does to the patients, etc. Then we made an ignite presentation. We presented our charity to the class. After that, we made our trifold posters and items. Then we set up and sold our things. I learned many ways to get more people at least interested in our items. Maybe go, buy 1 get 1 free. Or maybe lower the price. 

Back Ward Looking:
How much did you know about the subject before we started?
l didn't know anything about the charity fair. Nothing about selling, or the carbon footprint, not even about researching charities.

Inward-Looking:
What was especially satisfying to you about either the process or the finished product?
I liked how much we worked together on it even though we were behind. We drew pictures instead of taking them, we worked together on the poster, we even were together for almost the whole night.

Out-Ward Looking:
What grade would you give it? Why?

I would give it a A- or a B+ because we forgot to do real pictures and instead drew them.

Forward Looking

What would you improve upon? I would like to maybe make sure that every part of my work was done.

Weather- Water Cycle

Summary: This week we were learning about the water cycle. Evaporation is when water turns into water vapor and goes up to the clouds. Condensation is when a cloud forms. Precipitation is rain, snow, hail, etc. Transpiration is water evaporating from plants. Sublimation is a glacier melting and evaporating. This all makes one large cycle - the water cycle! Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Transpiration/ Sublimation. The diagram shows this.


S&EP:SP2: Developing and using models: We drew a comic on our journey through the water cycle.

Weather 12/3/15

Summary: I am learning about the weather. First we did the layers of the atmosphere. The first layer, witch we live in, is called the troposphere. Weather only occurs in the troposphere because it contains all of the water vapor. I mean, you can't make weather without water right? The next layer is the stratosphere. Jets and weather balloons like to fly here because there is no weather. Have you ever been in an airplane and seen all of the clouds under you? That is because you are above the troposphere. The next, the mesosphere, is way to cold for humans to discover. Like, there could be leprechauns and unicorns up there for all we'd know. Too cold to discover! To high for weather balloons and too low for space shuttles. Meteors and the northern lights are up there too. The last is the thermosphere. Space shuttles are around this area. Then, it heads up to space.



S&EP: SP4

I used a graph to analyze the data of the layers of atmosphere. We were using for measuring temperature and adding where it began and ended. We also drew what "lives" there. Like jets in the stratosphere and weather in the troposphere.
