Comic Slideshow Reflection

I applied the research process to my cultural universal project by writing information in my Cultural Universal Comic packet. I then took the information and put it into my slideshow. I researched about politics by learning about how the government is organized. I used the research on social aspects to learn about food, research on economics to discuss jobs and resources, learned through my research about the religions of Canada, and that hockey is their number one sport (cultural arts). The title of my slideshow is “Canada: Cultural Universals”. My favorite part of the project was creating my tour guide. My guide was a robot that had a silverish color. I liked this the best because we were able to use Google Draw and use all these different shapes. The most challenging aspect was getting enough information in a limited amount of time

This blog post is about the cultural universals of Scarsdale, NY. Cultural universals are politics, beliefs, social aspects, economics and cultural arts.

 

POLITICS:

Dan Hochvert is the mayor in Scarsdale.  His responsibilities are to run the the village trustee meetings and he speaks at the Little League opening day ceremony.  The governor of NYS is Andrew Cuomo. He also has the responsibilities to enforce state laws, to approve or veto laws passed by the NY State Legislature.  People who set the rules in my house are my mom and dad so I don’t go crazy. In my house it is important to have a healthy food before dessert, so I can stay healthy.  

 

SOCIAL ASPECTS:

The school that I go to is Heathcote.  I go to school 6 hours per day. My favorite subject is social studies/history.  Some different things I do in 3rd grade is math, reading, instrumental music and test prep. The things that I do on the weekends are watch TV, play baseball and stay up late. The baseball team that I’m on is The Blue Rocks..

 

BELIEFS:

A family celebration is Thanksgiving. A family tradition is on your birthday you are in charge. This tradition started when I was little. One thing that my family believes in is being kind to others.

 

CULTURAL ARTS:

My favorite movie is Bad News Bears. I like it because it is funny. My favorite song is “One Song Glory”. My favorite plays are Rent and Hamilton. My favorite museum is the Transit Museum because  it’s full of old trains.

 This is plant post three. This post will be about pollination. Pollination is when a bee or any pollinating insect pollinates a flower. Then it will turn into a fruit or seed pod.

We have been pollinating the last several days. First, the petals came off and then the flowers  started getting seed pods.

CONTROLLED OBSERVATIONS-

Our tallest plant was 12cm and the others were 10cm,8cm 10 and a half cm.

The plants are all still green.

Our plants still have 4 leaves.

One plant has one flower.

MANIPULATED OBSERVATIONS-

Our tallest plant was 12cm and the others were 8cm and 10cm

The plants have some red and green.

Our plants still have four leaves.

Our plant has  one flower.

I predict this week that our plants will get some seed pods.

This is blog post 2. I am going to update you with the measurements of the plants over the last 2 to 3 weeks. These are the very important updates.

 

On June 1st the highest the controlled plant had grown was 8 cm in cell 2. By June 5th the highest the controlled plant was 14 cm in cell 3. The plants now have buds and some of the buds have bloomed into yellow flowers.

 

On June 1st the highest manipulated plant was 12 cm. It has grown really tall. We have been watering the manipulated plants with red food coloring. One of the cells has a little speck of red on the plant stem. The manipulated plants have two flowers, the same as the controlled plants.

 

We have noticed that the manipulated plants are a little bit shorter than the controlled plants. They have the same number of flowers, and the flowers are both yellow. I think the manipulated plants are a little shorter because they are adjusting to the food coloring.
