Stars This is our presentation on stars and their life cycle. Throughout the presentation we had to use a space-related movie theme, and ours is the Martian.

Mutation Story – Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
Part 1: Mutation Story I am the gene that caused Charlotte to have Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. I’m the LMNA gene, and I’m supposed to be responsible for producing the protein lamin A (a protein which helps with the structural support of the nucleus), but unfortunately while I was being replicated, one of my cytosine’s was switched with thymine and I…
Froot Loop DNA
Today in Science we made a DNA code of a word to describe us.
Edible DNA Model
Today in science we made a strand of DNA out of twizzlers and marshmallows! This is ours:
Cell-fie! Cheek Cell Lab
Today we looked at our own cheek cells under a microscope. Here’s mine! To do this, we rubbed a toothpick on our cheeks in the inside of our mouths, and the rubbed it onto a slide. Then we placed a drop of methyl blue on the slide to stain the cells so that we’d be able to see them. This…
Earth Stop Motion
Here’s a stop-motion video on the Earth-
Solar System – Paris, France
In my scale, the sun is the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, and the Earth is the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Solar Systems are so big that it’s impossible for someone to even imagine how big or how far apart the planets are. So, to better understand the distances between the planets, we used a scale that’s much easier to…
TOKTW 2016
Yesterday I went BC Children’s Hospital to watch what a Critical Care Paramedic does at work for TOKTW day. Mike works as a Critical Care Paramedic on the Infant Transport Team. He transports babies and children that are seriously sick or injured all around BC, in either an ambulance, helicopter, plane, or turbo prop. We started off the day…
Static Electricity Sports Report- Team Voltage
To start off our physics unit in science we had a race- using only a plate, a ruler, some materials, and static electricity. The goal was to see which materials would create the most static electricity. To test it, we placed a ruler on top of a glass plate, and then rubbed materials together and timed how long it took for the…
Science ADL App Review
The app I reviewed is called “Elements: The Periodic Table”. It’s a free app that shows the periodic table, and then if you click on an element it’ll give you a ton of information about the element. Some of this information includes atomic weight & mass, a Bohr diagram of the element, the history, a photo of the element…
