For the controlled the colors are Green, yellow, and purple. There is a  Zig zag leaves and there is fruit. The tallest plant is 11 cm and the smallest plant is 5 cm.  They shrunk!

The manipulated is green, yellow, purple and brown. The biggest plant is 10 cm and the smallest plant is 5 cm. There is a zig zag leaf also and some fruits growing.  I think this happened because we pollinated the plants with our fingers.

We are doing experiments with plants. We were wondering what would happen if we added 5 extra fertilizer in each cell. My hypothesis is that the plant that got the extra fertilizer would grow taller that the normal plant. My control one has Light, Water, Air, Soil, and fertilizer. My manipulated plant has Light, Water, Air, Soil, and 5 extra fertilizer in each cell.

For control the tallest one is 11 cm. The smallest one is 7 cm. On the plant there are flowers now.  The colors are green and yellow. For manipulated the tallest plant is 10 ½ cm and the smallest plant is 5 cm. There are bigger leaves than the control one. Although the flowers have not bloomed on the manipulated one. They are still buds.

 

 

 

 

Maglev Day 2

We used two strip magnets for the track, and two strip magnets for the train. Knowing the properties of magnets helped me because I that like poles repel, and opposite poles attract, and if I didn’t know that then I might of put opposite poles together and it would attract.

 

Most of the stuff that my group did failed. For example when we used disk magnets it did not work because they were all opposite poles. Another time we use magnets instead of tape the magnet on top attracted and it flipped over. I learned that I should listen to my teammates ( which I did not do ). But I changed and I listened to my teammates and we got it to levitate.

 

I learned that EDP can be frustrating i but it inspired me to keep going and to not give up.  I also learned that failure is okay you should also always think before you do stuff it also never ends.

 

Maglev Day 1

A Maglev train is a transportation system that transports people from place to place safely and efficiently. It works because there is no friction. The only friction that there is is air friction. My groups idea was five disk magnets on the train, and two strip magnets for the track.

Nothing worked on Friday. We failed on Friday because we put some magnets north to south. They were supposed to be  south to south.

 

Our group did not agree on everything. Some of my group were getting angry because nothing was working. I think we were a good group together because we finally agreed on something.

 

Technology is…

What makes something technology? I think technology is something made by human beings. Its not just electronics.

My Object (Scissors) is technology because they are safer than knifes. Imagine kids going to get a knife to cut paper? I bet you can’t imagine that. It made life better because scissors are easier and safer to use than knifes. Where can you put knives after use if someone touches the ridges they can cut themselves but not with scissors they are super safe. My object improved knives.

 

The Scissors are considered technology

 

 

Expert book – The World of Turtles

This is my expert book about turtles. I chose turtles because I like them and because I know all about them.

I had to write the book first and then google slides. I also had to add pictures and captions. And on top of that I had to add diagrams.

I enjoyed finding pictures for my google slides. The challenging part was to make my diagrams.

I hope you like my expert book! My book is called “The World of Turtles”.

Here it is…

The History of Typography

During our class time in the computer lab, Mr. Casal showed us a video about the history of typography. After watching this video I learned that typography is NOT perfect. There are so many kinds of typography. Italics is one of them. I also thought that the video was so cool. There was so much animation. Like paper came out of the computer. It did not actually come out of the computer but it looked like it. It also looks like he pretends to type on paper. He makes the animation out of paper and the computer. William Caslon created the geometric sans. William Caslon the IV took away the serifs. Williams typography got really big. Eric Gill created a typography that was similar to Geometric sans. It was more gentle and smooth than Williams. He makes things move without touching whatever he moved. Italics was made for making more room on the paper and saving money. Jenson’s type face was much more readable than black letter.

This is the video we have watched:
