DEFINE, DREAM, DELIVER, DEBRIEF

Julian on

I am hoping to find if their is a way to reduce pollution exponentially, more than any other solution.

As for my ideas, I have a few, including: Not driving when not needed, avoiding using anything gas related, and just conserve energy overall.

Out of these all, I find it apparent that automobiles of any kind are the biggest impact. Although their isn’t much you can do about this, since for some people they need to drive to work etc. Their are still some thing that can still help such as,

  1. Don’t leave your car idle
  2. Try to reduce the amount of trips you make in a day to a bare minimum
  3. Keep your vehicle in good condition, with the tires inflated to reduce exhaust.

If I could change what I did, I would take much more time on this project to take it slow and really think about things. But I was in a rush to hand this in, which is my fault. But overall, these tips are still completely valid and doing them will help reduce pollution.

Information Fluency

Question: Is it possible to live on mars?

  1. I had to research what made a planet habitable, what tech we would need.
  2. I used a source checker, to check if the info was reliable. See bottom for link.
  3. I went through all the info, and tried to deduct the most crucial parts.
  4. I checked multiple sources, and used to source checker to see if they are viable sources of information.
  5. I think I could have took more time, but I was in a rush to finish this so, that’s that.

How Cells Multiply.

How Cells Multiply

In this post I will show me knowledge of asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction, and the stages of mitosis.

Asexual Reproduction

Asexual Reproduction is when a organism can create offspring without the need of a other organism. The offspring is always genetically identical to the parent.

 

Some of the good things about asexual reproduction include :

  • No energy required to find a mate.
  • Can reproduce large amounts of offspring quickly.

Only one parent is needed to produce offspring.

 Disadvantages

 

  •  If the parent has a mutation, all offspring will have the same mutation.
  • Can be hard for the offspring to adapt if they are born in different conditions than the parent is used to.
  • Overpopulation could be an issue.

 

Sexual Reproduction

Sexual Reproduction is when two parents are need to create offspring. The offspring is more than not similar to the parents, getting a X and Y chromosome from each parent. But develop their own features also.

 

Advantages

 

  • The offspring can adapt to the environment around them

If one parent has a mutation the offspring has a chance to not be affected by the mutation.

 

Disadvantages

 

  • Sometimes lots of time and energy are needed to find a mate.
  • Can not reproduce as fast as asexual organisms.
  • Although the chance is lower, mutations can still be passed to offspring through sexual reproduction.

 

Mitosis Stages

Mitosis, is used in asexual reproduction                                                                                                    .Image result for mitosis Cell cycle"

Meiosis is used in sexual reproduction.

The cell cycles for Mitosis and Meiosis are similar but not quite the same.

With mitosis, the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell. Which has some disadvantage and advantages as I have stated above.

With meiosis the daughter cells are a mix of the two parents cells. This also has different advantages and disadvantaged as I have stated above.

Growth of organisms.

You and me, right now, are growing. Organisms grow because of mitosis and meiosis. But in me and you, meiosis is going on. Our cells are multiplying at a supersonic rate, everyday billions of cells are made and billions of cells die. The very reason we get taller, and mature is because of our cells rapidly multiplying within our body.

 

I’m aware this is late but please mark it.

Adaptive Tech Innovations

Julian on

It all started when Mr. Robinson introduced us to Tim on Skype and his daughter told us about his disabilities and struggles throughout day-to-day life. We were able to connect and communicate with Tim only a handful amount of times, so we tried to learn about his struggles to the best of our ability. Our idea was to create a simplified remote to aid him in using the television. This remote would get rid of the less important functions on the remote only leaving the necessary remote, so he doesn’t accidentally press a random button. The skills me and my group developed included was using Tinkercad to design the remote, we also practiced our creative and critical thinking skills in the process of designing the remote. I would post a picture of the remote to show the skills in action, but… I lost the picture, oops. I feel I have met my learning goals just adequately, I could definitely improve on my time management. In conclusion, I believe the collaboration went pretty well, and I learned lots of things about Hunting-sons disease and about 3D printing and designing. Overall, I feel good about the experience and hope to tinker with Tinkercad in the future.

DNA

DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule that contains the genetic code that makes up organisms.

 

Currents of the Kitchen hypothesis

Julian on

Image result for lemonHypothesis : I think a lemon would produce the most electricity because it’s really acidic and sour, which for some reason makes me assume they can produce the most electricity.

Also, in movies, I always see a kid doing something along the lines of a science fair project, using a lemon to power something.
