Passion Project #3

Heather Schutzer

 In my progress so far, I am kind of proud of how much research I have so far! I have almost one page! My resources are almost more helpful than I thought they would be! Mr.DeBerry’s note-taking sheet is very helpful and I am currently using it. I have changed my main question a bit and added a new sub-question. The reason that I did it was because when I started researching and found a lot of cool and new information that would add to my topic! I also found some more resources! I think the quality of my work could be a bit better, but I think that it is decent right now and not horrible. More updates for my passion project will come soon! Bye for now!

Passion Project #2

Heather Schutzer

Hello again!

To identify my resources I looked on the school databases and found some good ones. I also searched it up on the web and found credible resources that I can trust. To make sure the resources are credible I looked on the top browser and saw if it either ended in, .gov, .com, or .org. I know that if it ends in these endings that it is reliable, because they indicate if it is credible. I think the resources I will be most helpful are the resources that I found in the library database because I know for 100% that they are reliable. For my note taking strategy I will be using the document that Mr.DeBerry gave to us to make note taking easier. I chose this strategy because it organizes my resources, questions, notes, and answers that I got about my questions.

Project Proposal

Hello!

          My process for desiring my topic was very simple. I started by writing down the things that I love to do and watch. Then I looked at the list and crossed off the things that would be harder to research and had few questions to ask and research on. Finally I looked at the remaining options and chose the one that I wanted to research the most. So I decided on music! 

         To decide on my question I thought beneath the surface of the topic and dug deeper until I came up with the idea of effects. After I came up with the idea I thought of some questions I could ask about the effects of music on our bodies and lives. I then narrowed down the questions and combined some to make the questions more sophisticated. After that I wrote them down in my proposal and worded them differently. That is how I came up with my sub and main questions about music.

Tech post (#3)

Heather Schutzer

Hello again. Today we got to create the base for our automates, it was very fun and an interesting experience. First we got all of our pieces and started trying to figure out how they fit together, (it was very hard.) After that we hot glued our first two sides, waited. Then we got to glue the other two sides together. Then we were done with our base!!! We also got our cam and follower back. I can not wait to start on the next step. I love this Project. Bye for now.

Automatas (#2)

Heather Schutzer

Hello, today we learned about Automatas and watched a video. It was um….. interesting. Though it was very educational. Also I didn’t put this in a separate post, but we got to sketch out designs for our automata!!! It was a lot of fun. I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am. On Monday we also get to put together our automata bases! I am so ready and excited. By the way my automata is going to be a little girl waving! I can not wait to put it together!

Bye for now,

Breakout EDU (#1)

Heather Schutzer

Hello, and welcome to my my first tech post!!!!!

Today we played Breakout EDU. It was a lot of fun. Our team was the first one to break out. This is how it worked. We got 22 minutes to try and find out all the codes to unlock the box. Our team first found the clue of the SMS technology safety rules. Stay Safe! We read it over than set out to find another clue. We than found the story and started on our work. We read it and tried to connect our clues. Than we had our first code and things started to speed up. We unlocked that lock. Than John unlocked to next one with a complete guess! We struggled for a little than unlocked our last lock! We were done! I really enjoyed this game. Have a great day!
