What is a Linear Relation?
A linear Relation is a pattern that goes up or down by the same amount every time.
How to Find the Rule for a Pattern?
When trying to find the rule for a pattern you need to look for how much the y list is going up or down by. If it was going up by +4 then it would be multiplied by x, to become 4x=y. But that wouldn’t equal 5. So, to get it to 5 we will have to add +1 to the equation. It should look like this 4x+1=y. now you can use this equation to keep the pattern going.
How to Plot a Point?
When you have numbers on either side of the T-chart you could be able to plot them on a graph. The number under x will determine where the along the x-axes you dot will go. Same for the y, it will determine how high up the dot will be.
How to Graph a Linear Relation?
The coordinates on your t-chart should make a straight line when all placed on a graph.
How to Graph Vertical and horizontal lines?
To create a straight line all you need is a number=x or a number=y. If you want it to go up and down 3 to the right of zero, then you would put 3=x. Same thing would happen with y but it would go across.
Vocabulary:
- X axes: The horizontal line on a graphing chart
- Y axes: The vertical line on a graphing chart
- T-chart: The chart you put your coordinates into to help organize and come up with an equation.
- Coordinate: The location your plot is on the graph. An example of a coordinate is (2,4)
- Origin: It is a fixed place on the graph, aka the middle of the graph or (0,0).
- Plotting: To put your coordinates on a graph
- Linear pattern: When your coordinates have a pattern going up or down and it looks like a slanted straight line.
- Increasing pattern: When your pattern goes up
- Decreasing pattern: When your pattern goes down
- Horizontal line: The X-axis/the line that goes across
- Vertical line: The Y-axis/the line that goes up and down

With the corona virus going around the world, I have had a lot of extra time on my hands. I have done some drawing, writing, and I have been playing sports outside in the nice weather. We just started doing online school this week and it has been hard to get used to it. I can’t ask the teacher any questions face to face, but the longer we do our learning online, the more comfortable we will be using it.
Other then my classes I don’t have anything to do. I try to fill that time up with more artistic or active activities. I like to draw when I have the chance. I usually use a reference photo to help. I have drawn things like my friends bitmoji’s and some of my story characters. Another activity I have been doing is writing stories. Me and my cousins have been starting to be writing a book. We are writing the book as a sci-fi/fantasy. We are mostly still in the planning stage and doing a small amount of the writing.
You never know who has the coronavirus, so we must stay away from anyone and everyone. Every time I go outside, I must be aware of anyone around me. Sometimes playing on the street can be so frustrating that I have stop in the middle of a game every 2 minutes to let a person past, can make me a bit ticked off. But to be honest, being at home all the time has helped me to learn more about cooking and appreciate having the chance to just walk out the front door and be able to go outside. Some countries aren’t even supposed to go outside their home other then going to the grocery store, which most people only go about once a week. I am writing this, and I am feeli
ng a lot more aware of how lucky we are for only having 1975 cases in the British Columbia (as of the April 22). We can’t go to school or play organized sports, but we can still go outside our houses at any time that we would like.
This pandemic has not been fun, but it has had it good parts. Like making noise at 7 pm with my neighbors, to learning how to bake and cook. It has been an experience and will stick with me as I grow older.
This is the flipbook I did for the story “The Biggest Moccasins in the World”.
Who I Interviewed
For my community connection I interviewed a lady who lives in my neighborhood. Her name is Barbara Deacon. She is a teacher who used to travel to China, to teach students the English Language. She still tutors but has retired teaching in schools. Barb is the wife to hockey player and RCMP officer Doug Deacon. The two live on my street enjoying their retirement.
Why I Choose Her
I choose Barb not because I wanted to be a teacher but, because I like to help and that care of children. I was thinking of volunteering at the rec center maybe, to take help or take care of kids. For my six questions I asked her:
Why are you passionate about your job?
Because it has the potential to affect children’s lives and influence their futures, in a positive way.
What is the best part of your job?
Barb said that the best part was seeing the progress in the students overtime and how much they improve throughout the school year.
What obstacles have you faced to get you where you are today?
Trying to work and taking university courses concurrently and can be hard to balance studying and planning work every night.
What advice would you pass on to someone interested in what you are doing?
To become a teacher or someone that works with kids needs to have patience and needs the ability to stay calm. If you are impatient the kids will never learn anything.
Is, there any negative aspects to this job?
Barb was talking about how it is hard to listen to kids saying that they can’t do it or are dumb. That they don’t believe in themselves or their learning abilities.
Would you be open to further contact from Riverside students and if so, how can someone contact you?
Yes, at barbaradeacon@shaw.ca
Have you ever had that one thing that you wish you could have or do? I asked some questions back-and-forth with Hannah, and it helped me to practice my communication skills. My friend Hannah has a unique view about what she wishes she could do and see. If she had I option to go to the future or the past she would choose the past. I really understood, because she explained that she didn’t want to see what is going to end up happening to our future selves. Another question asked was if you could have one superpower, what would it be, and she told me that she wishes she had the power to teleport anywhere she wants. If she could teleport, then she could travel anywhere without having to pay or wait to go. Most of the questions that we asked were about things you wish you could do or thing you wish you have. Like if you could bring anyone back from the dead who would it be. She picked her grandpa, so she could create a better relationship with him. Listening to Hannah relay showed me that we have some things in common that most people wouldn’t.
Sexual and Asexual reproduction
In sexual reproduction the parents need to make contact for the genetic information to transfer, not to mention that the baby is grown inside of the mothers stomach. Unlike in asexual reproduction were the parents don’t need to swap genetic information through contact, and the baby’s grow outside in a nest or where ever they end up. Or for some asexual organisms (most organisms) there is only one parent.
Good things about the two is in sexual reproduction the baby’s genes will be half from the father and half from the mother. but in asexual reproduction usually the offspring will be exactly the same as the copies. (only good if you want it to be the same)
Some cons to asexual reproduction is that the offspring will be susceptible to any diseases that the original is. But in sexual reproduction there is no guarantee that the nucleus of the male gamete will combined with the female gamete.
Meiosis and Mitosis
Meiosis and Mitosis are very similar but have some differences like how Meiosis has double the amount of steps compared to Mitosis. But in the first set, the chromosomes don’t get separated.
Meiosis starts off with:
Prophase l: The homologous chromosomes match up and non-sister chromatids swap genetic information. (this is called crossing over)
Metaphase l: The homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell at the equator because of the spindle fibers.
Anaphase l: The homologous chromosomes get move to the two opposite pole by the spindle fibers.
Telophase l: One of chromosomes from the homologous pair is at each pole of the cell. (The new nucleolus and nuclear membrane form.)
Interkinesis come between Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2: The cell gets bigger and the makes proteins.
Prophase ll: There is one chromosome from each of the two homologous pairs in each of the cells. The nucleus and nuclear membrane disappear.
Metaphase ll: The spindle fibers form and attach to the chromosomes, moving them to the middle again.
Anaphase ll: The spindle fibers pull the centromeres apart, and the sister chromatids get pulled to each pole of the cell.
Telophase ll: The spindle fibers will disappear and nucleus and nuclear membrane form, while the cell starts to
Meiosis Starts with:
Early Prophase: The chromosomes are inside of the nucleolus with the nuclear membrane. The nucleolus will disappear and the nuclear membrane will start to disappear and break down. While that is happening spindle will form from the centrioles.
Late Prophase: The nucleolus and nuclear membrane will be completely gone and the spindle fibers will attach to the chromosomes.
Metaphase: The spindle fibers will move the chromosomes to the middle of the cell, in line at the equator.
Anaphase: The spindle fibers pull the centromeres apart, and the sister chromatids get pulled to each pole of the cell.
Telophase: The spindle fibers disappear. New nucleolus and nuclear membranes form, while the cell starts to split into two.
The growth of organisms using information from the fetal development activity
We say that there are three trimesters. The first trimester is where all of the organs, like brain and the spinal cord develop(4 weeks). A little further into the trimester the bone cells start forming and the embryo is called the fetus (8 weeks). At the end of the trimester the organ system has formed(12 weeks). In trimester two the fetus grows rapidly for 4 weeks. But will start to slow down for another 4 weeks. Third trimester the fetus is still growing, thing like the brain especially. At the 32 week pregnancy fat will develop under the baby’s skin to keep it warm once it is born.
I got all of my information from my notes and the Onenote that Mr. Robinson gave us.
This was a photo taken from our first video call with Tim.
At the beginning of the semester we had our first video call with a man named Tim Mepham, who has a dieses called Huntington’s. We were challenged to create something to help him with a specific task. By the end of the semester each group would have different designs for different tasks. Then we would give them to Tim to use to help him in his normal day life.
My group had the task to help Tim to be able to do art again. Before Huntington’s started to affect Tim he used to paint. Him and Nicola(Tim’s daughter) showed us some of his painting, they were really good.
This is what we used as our inspiration for our first few Ideas. It is a utensil holder, for if you have trouble holding spoons and forks.
We started to come up with few ideas for ways that he could draw or paint but most of them were very impractical. Me and Carlos both came up with our final designs and then we got Gianna and Mr. Robinson to pick which one we should print out. They ended up deciding to print mine because it has a screw to secure the art tool.
Over all, I thought that the Project was fun and different from anything that I have ever done. It was interesting to do something that isn’t just for school perpossses but is with and for someone outside of the school. I had a good time working with Carlos and Gianna on this assignment. We were all on the same page with what we were thinking of doing.
In this photo Carlos is acually sanding down the clip where the screw goes.
I had a bit of struggle with using measurements and how big the screw needed to be for it lose enough that we could turn it, but tight enough so it wounded fall out. I made a few different sized screws, and only ended up printing out two. The first one was to big so it could not screw in as we planed, and it also was to short so if it did screw in it wouldn’t even hit the pencil.
In the photo the thread of the screw was to short
But during this project I learned how to design and print objects out with the 3D printers at the school. It was really helpful because our whole project gets printed out with them.
Before we got really into the project, we created our own self assessment sheets that we thought are the most important parts that we had to get done. I think that I hit my list pretty high and only a few thing were missing.
Prophase
(Throughout prophase there is supposed to be another string in side of the cell membrane that has all of the sister chromatids and spindle fibers inside, which acts as the nucleus.)
I forgot to take a photo of the start where the DNA molecules would be singular. Then replicate themselves and join together to make a sister chromatid. 
This photo shows that the DNA molecules have replicated and fused into sister chromatids inside of the cell nucleus.
Here is where the spindle fibers show up and will attach to each of the chromosomes.
Metaphase
The spindle fibers move the chromosomes to the middle of the cell.
(The nucleus would disappear after the chromosomes are moved to the middle)
Anaphase
The sister chromatids will split into two halfs.
The spidle fiber pull the sister chromatids out the sides, so that both sides are the same.
Telophase
The spindle fibers disappear.
Two nuclear form around both sets of chromatids.
Cytokenises
The cell membrane splits into two separate cells that are not connected.
