States of matter 02/12/17

http://www.crafthubs.com/matter/10393
Summary: This week in class we learned about the three states of matter. One of the three states of matter is a Solid where the particles are linked together and vibrate. The second state of matter is Liquid when the particles are still linked together but moved more freely. The third state of matter is Gas which is when the particles are not linked and move much, much more freely.

SP6: Constructing explanations and designing solutions
This week in class I constructed an explanation by doing a work sheet and explaining how each of the particles of each state of matter works. We made solution to remind us on how the particles work and used that to aid our attempt at the worksheet.

Superhero project 02/02/17


Summary: In this project in class I learned about mutations, animals and heredity. Heredity is the how we pass on traits to our offspring. We learned about animals because that is what our super hero was going to be about so I learned that the robin has super good sight. Mutations is the change in DNA from an outside source, it has many types.

Backward-Looking:
I knew a little about body systems and animals before I started. But I knew very little about mutations and heredity before we started the project. I learned about how I got to be how I looked like and why every one looks like their parent, I also learned that there are many different types of mutations in the world.

Inward-Looking:
I feel good about this project because I worked very hard on it so I feel proud about the effort that I put into the project. I liked the fact that we could make our own superhero / villain. I disliked the parts of the project where you had to draw because I do not like drawing.

Outward-Looking
I would give this a 92/100 so an A- because I did all the work to the expectations and complied with the rules of the project. I feel as if my grade would drop for non-detailed drawings that could be hard to understand. I feel that I also could have detailed my descriptions more.


Forward-Looking:

I would change the animal that I based my super hero on. I would do this because I feel that a different animal would give me more ideas for my superhero. I would also change the body systems I changed for my villain for the same reasons.
