I wonder…

  The universe is all of space and time containing all of it’s contents such as planets, stars and galaxies, but have you ever wondered how it was all created? Has it ever crossed your mind that we have all gotten here through something or someone? What is our purpose? When did this all happen? […]

Metagenomics

  What would we do without microbes? Microbes are an essential part of our everyday lives, everything that happens in our hemisphere is touched by microbes. The chemical cycle that converts key elements of our lives (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfure) are all depending on microbes. All living organisms such as plants, animals and humans […]

Week 15- Math 10

This week in math, we learnt more about recognizing different equations and how to write them.   Something I had trouble with was converting point slope form into general form. Point Slope form has the slope in front of brackets, coordinates of the x axis and this equals to Y and the y axis coordinates . […]

Week 14: Math 10

This week we were adding onto the relations unit and talked about linear relations. Meaning a relation that ends up being a straight line, an important term that will often be used in this unit is SLOPE: rise over run. The way we can remember this that we RISE before we run, using the y […]

Week 13- Math 10

This week in math 10, we were introduced to graphing. In this unit the math was quite simple. The most troubling part was the vocabulary. If you understood what you were being told to do, it all made sense. An example: The cost of jelly beans is related to the weight.  In this example C […]

Week 11 Math 10- Polynomials

This week in math 11 we continued learning about polynomials. There were different strategies that we learned to simplify polynomials such as the claw, the area model, FOIL and algebra tiles. The most difficult strategy for me was the FOIL method, I was never able to identify when or how to use it but eventually, […]

Week 8- Math 10 Polynomials

This week in math 10 how to factor and expand fractional polynomials. These questions seemed difficult at first but once I used methods we’ve learned before, I got the hang of it. To do this, I followed three simple steps: Recognize polynomials. Identify binomials and trinomials. Find the product of a monomial and binomial. A […]
