First peoples post

My subject was “Learning involves generational roles and responsibility”. I chose tis video because in this video below the first nations people are keeping their island clean and they are taking their part of responsibility with it, they plant trees to make sure they wont run out or lack trees for the future. They plants their own food without any preservatives to make sure they do not harm insects or the plant. They also limit use of vehicles because they know it pollutes the atmosphere and it is not good for their environment.

For our science experiment it relates to their principles, we are growing plants with different liquids looking for changes, but growing plants involves a lot of responsibility because you have to make sure you water it on a certain amount of days so you don’t starve it or flood the plant and you don’t want to harm the plant.

So far for our science experiment we have not done any harm to the plant (other than changing the liquids that we water it with but that is not that bad because it was for the experiment), kai and I make sure we keep track of when we water the plant to make sure we are watering it properly, we make sure we keep it in good condition (so making sure it does not get knocked over or anything other like that), so I would say this is great responsibility.

Our human impact on the environment is bad compared to the first nations people because we pollute our environment by emitting carbon into the atmosphere by driving cars where they try to use little vehicle transport and we use pesticides on our plants and food where as they don’t use them because they want to keep everything pure as they said in the video.

Science app review

There are problems in the world that just one app could solve. One problem I know that some students that want to test experiments at home to understand better cant because they don’t have some of the items or tools needed. Some students are visual learners so if something is explained to them just by words they would not understand as clear as they could, If they had  a visual demonstration i think it would be more clear for them, but then they would still not have the proper items. Something that would help is a app that lets you digitally do the experiments on your own device, the app would go through steps and show you how to assemble it and explain them. So i searched up some apps on the app store and found an app called “Kids Fun Science Experiments.” There are different categories to do and it also pronounced all the steps and gave an explanation. In the app if you don’t know what to do it will tell you instructions on what to do next. One thing I think would make the app better is it could give more information and a better explanation that tells us the result is and not just how it happens. And also making it so it would be making the voice that illustrates what you are doing a little bit clearer because it is robotic and a little hard to sometimes understand. I think the app is easy to use and it is free to download, I think its a great app and helps students understanding better in science.

Mutation Story

Hello! my name is Vincent, I am a cell who lives in my host Alex. Alex is a very different boy because he has progeria, progeria is very rare Genetic Disorder which causes my host “Alex” to seem like he is aging very fast, not to many people in the world have this disorder. Alex is lucky to be alive since most infants during birth who have been diagnose with this disorder die at birth, a regular cell nucleus would be round but my nucleus is all deformed and shaped different. Progeria affects 1 in 4 billion births and most people diagnose with it do not live past the age of 13. Surprisingly progeria is not passed down in families and does not affect any certain race or sex. Progeria is caused by a single mistake in a certain gene causes it to make an abnormal protein. When cells use this protein, called progerin, they break down more easily. Progerin builds up in many cells of kids with progeria, causing them to grow old quickly.

Part Two;

I learned more about progeria and that it is rare and affects 1 in 4 billion births. also that most people do not live passed 13 and it is not family passed. This disorder makes me think more about progeria and other mutation/disorders.

Science 3d model – Reflextion

For science me and Jesse did our project together, Our project was about wind turbines and what are there functions. Jesse did 50% of what he was supposed to do and I did the other 50% and I also did the wind turbine model so I did 75% and I’m not trying to blame him or anything but it wasn’t really fair cause he only had to do 25% and did it on the last day.
