Welcome back to my blog. This post is for the projects in the Computer Science class. In Computer Science we have been learning about different types of coding and how computers work. We have done math problems in binary code and practiced making something from using python. In these two projects we used python to code a advanced calculator that you can use to find what the temperature in Celsius is based off of your input of your temperature outside in Fahrenheit. The second project here is a code that uses your inputs to create a letter to a state representative to talk about something important to you. Both of these codes have been checked multiple times to see if there were any errors or changes that needed to be made. If you would like to try them out for yourself you can do so by typing in your responses on the right to the questions that are asked. The first project is an advanced calculator that takes an input of a given temperature in Fahrenheit and converts it into Celsius fo...

Hello and welcome back to my blog. This post is for the first Action Project of the STEAM class Population. For this first unit we learned about taxonomy which is a method used to classify and organize animals into categories. We also learned Set Theory or a mathematical language used to describe sets. In this unit we also dissected a worm which was slightly different than the worm dissection I did in 7th grade. As for probably all of the Action Projects this term learning is still virtual and we are at home do to the covid pandemic. Everyone in the class was mailed a worm dissection kit and we learned about the insides of the worm and all of their processes over two days. Normally, if we were not learning from home we would have a Field Experience to Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. There we would find an animal that we would like to use for the action project and take a picture of it. For this AP I have chosen the giant panda as my animal. It was important to take or find a picture of th...

Welcome back to the blog. This is the first post of the new school year. This Action Project is for the new Humanities class called Stories. In this class we learned about etiologies and the origin of the world coming from different beliefs. Over the summer we were asked to read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. During this first unit we had a few book clubs where we read a few chapters and created a question and response to a passage we chose. Over the course of the unit we practiced creating and identifying metaphors and similes. With those we also practiced using adjectives and adverbs in our writing. For this Action Project we had to create our own etiology. For my origin I decided to write about the first cowboy hat. This Action Project is designed so we can show our understanding of etiology and storytelling. I hope you enjoy. The sun beats down on the riders as they move swiftly across the plains. Dust picks up behind the horses from the stamping of their hoove...
