Cedar Gathering Reflection

The cedar gathering and the smudge ceremony was a beautiful thing to witness especially the smudge ceremony because I have actually never done one and I really enjoyed being a part of it and as an indigenous person to see so many people participating in the smudge ceremony and gathering cedar, especially at a time like this where so much stuff is happening in the indigenous community it makes me super happy to see so many people that care and my is quote is “find a place where you can be alone” by Richard Wagamese

Monologue Video – “Do you know who killed Wellington?”

 

The following is video of Christopher from “The curious incident of the dog in the night- time” asking his neighbors who killed Mrs. Shears dog.

Strangers scare me they always have but if I want to find out who killed wellington, I must face that fear and the fear that I could possibly be kidnapped when she whips the door open I can smell the stench of whatever drugs she just took. I never understood why people took drugs I have always thought they were pointless. Taking something that will only make you feel better for couple of hours. People on drugs make me anxious because they act differently then they normally would and their unpredictable you never know what they might say or do. Her clothes have hole in them and while I stare at her I resist the urge to cover my nose

HOW DOES IT WORK

What are the most common problems that LED lights have?
1. The number one problem with LED lights that people have are loose wire connection. A loose wire connection is almost the same as when you bend your phone charger a lot, so it stops charging your phone or only works sometimes
2. The LED light bulbs weakness is wires because wires in a LED light bulb are more likely to become loose and it strength is its light the LED light are probably one of the brightest lights I’ve ever seen that’s why Christmas lights are so bright because a majority of them are LED
3. I don’t think you can fix a light bulb unless you invented it and you never know what’s causing your light bulb to act out id say your best bet is to just buy a new laptop

PERIODIC TABLE

DIFINE AND DISCOVER:
– The problem I was trying to solve with the periodic table was organization, Because with the periodic table that we always use I found it hard to find all of the chemicals so I organized it in a way that I could find the chemicals easier my periodic table was organized by metals and non-metals with alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals on the metals side and noble gases and halogens on the non-metals side
– Some of the question that I did were, why was the original periodic table made that way? Or why do we need a periodic table

DREAM:
– The periodic table tells you the chemicals name, it tells you the symbol and the atomic number and the mass and the in metals and non-metals
– To arrange it differently you could divide metals and non-metals which is what I did, or you could try dividing it by families or by periods
– There is a lot of different shapes that you can use but the better ones to use are circles, squares and hexagons and other possibly shapes can be triangles, diamonds and ovals
– You can use color for the organization of the periodic table so for example the families could go by color and each family could have a different color or you could do it the way I did it and color it by metals and non-metals and they would each have a different color

DESIGN:
– The plan that me and my partner came up with is to organize the periodic able by dividing the metals and the non-metals into two sections and using color to organize the sections

OUR PROJECT

DELIVER:
– Our periodic table was pretty good I mean it wasn’t the best one out there, but I believe it was organized and all of the chemicals were in the right place and I’m positive that all the symbols are right. I’m surprised that all the periodic table turned out this way because when I started this project, I didn’t know a lot about he periodic table and I still think I don’t know enough but I’m pretty proud of it

DEBRIEF:
– There could have been a lo of improvement in this periodic table but to be honest I don’t think I would change a thing and if I were to do this project again think I would study a lot more o I could be more prepared for this project

Digital footprint

. How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunity?

See the source image

If you have a positive digital footprint then it will work in your favour for a future job or whatever          college/university you plan on going to in future maybe even if you don’t have the best grades. Now say your           digital footprint was full of inappropriate things here less likely to hire or accept you.

. Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe?See the source image

1. Don’t post anything that might be too revealing or inappropriate.

2. Don’t post anything that is racist or sexist.

.  What information did you learn that you would pass on other students.

EXPERIMENT PROJECT

PART A

The question that me and my partner asked is “Can we make a fly crap using corn syrup, maple syrup and honey (which one will be more affective)?

 

RESEARCH

In my research process I couldn’t find anything really related to the question of my, so I just researched how high their sugar level was and to be honest I was really surprised with what I found. Maple syrup is the lowest at 68g I don’t know about you, but I thought that maple syrup would have had a lot higher sugar level than that. Corn syrup also shocked me I thought that corn syrup would’ve lower than maple syrup but its not corn syrups level of sugar is 77g maple syrup has always seemed so much sweeter than corn syrup and lastly honey which with some research I found out that honey has the highest sugar level out of all of the other syrups with a whopping 82g I don’t know why but I thought maple syrup would have had the highest sugar level.

 

HYPOTHESIS

My hypothesis is that the flies are most attracted to thing with more sugar because you always see flies around anything sweet. For example, watermelon, have you ever noticed when you cut open a watermelon and leave it there for a couple of hours or maybe minutes that when you come back the watermelon is covered in flies. so, my hypothesis is that the sweeter the syrup the more flies it will attract.

PART B

We will need three cups and three water bottles and then we need to cut the water bottles in half and put the top half into the bottom part of the water bottle but upside down and then put corn syrup in one maple syrup in one and honey in another and we will put it outside where the flies so they get closer and get trapped into the water bottle.

 

EQUIPMENT

We are going to be using 3 water bottles, scissors, corn syrup, maple syrup and honey, 3 cups

We will use our phones to collect all our data.

 

SAFETY ISSUES

There are no safety issues.

PART C

PART D
The way that the graph is half represented is, the three icons represent the names of the syrups that we used for the trap and one did work better and one of them is the sweetest. Which is honey in the middle, corn syrup, and the lowest maple syrup. On the left side it just shows how much sweeter each of them is to one another so basically its comparing them.

PART E
My findings did match my hypothesis because my hypothesis was that the flies would be most attracted to the sweetest syrup and it was right because we found most of the flies in the honey which happens to have the highest sugar level.

EVIDENCE CONCLUSION
We figured out that the higher the sugar the trap will attract the flies more and that was also me and my partners hypothesis. we found out about the different syrups sugar level and which one the highest and which one the lowest is which we were pretty fascinated by.

METHODS
The method we used we actually got off of science buddies online and tats were me and my partner got the idea anyways the method we used is you cute three bottle is half because there’s three syrups and then you place the top half of the bottle and place it upside down in the bottle and pour all three into separate cups and then we put them outside and when it got rainy I put the bottles close to any food we had lying around in the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WATER QUALITY BLOG POST

The day we went to the coquitlam river the weather was very nice there was a little trace of rain from at least two days ago and it was kind of sunny and the sky was clear there was no clouds. There was no wind which is probably why the river was on the calmer side

The water was really fresh, so it didn’t smell at all. The water wasn’t that clear it kind of had a brownish and greenish color.

It wasn’t totally clear that day it was really shady, and trees basically covered the whole river so it as kind of cold.

The paths weren’t natural it was clearly man made. the bank was mostly stable I dot think anyone fell. The stream was pretty fast one of the people in my group that went into the river almost fell over four times. The bottom of the river was sandy but also very rocky people kept tripping and I think that may be one of the reasons.

The pawn was pretty gross, and people kept killing the fish hey got and the water was very much poor quality and dirty I could tell because I couldn’t see the bottom of the pawn.

I definitely saw a lot of leaches and Beatles some other bugs there was one that looked like a little scorpion maybe it was a baby but I think its too cold in Canada for scorpions.

What Other Creatures Are At The Bottom Of The Ocean?

What Other Creatures Are At The Bottom Of The Ocean?

 

The ocean is filled with creatures all over but what I want to focus on is the creatures at the bottom of the ocean like the one in finding nemo with the light hanging between his non-existent eyebrows.
1. The Megalodon
The meaning of megalodon is “BIG TOOTH” so its already a little scary. The megalodon is 18 meters (59ft) with the average size a couple meters smaller at 10.5 meters (34ft) even though there extinct there still the largest shark in history. They died about 23 to 3.6 million yeas ago during the early Miocene to the Pliocene. The force of their bite is 110,000 to 180,000 newtons (25,000 to 40,000lbf/pounds) there teeth were thick and meant for grabbing prey and breaking bones. They had 276 teeth spanning over 5 rows and 2 meters (7ft) across. It targeted large prey for example whales, seals and sea turtles. The extinction of the megalodon increased other water animals’ species such as the baleen whales.

2. The Blue whale
The blue whale is known to be the biggest animal to exist at 98 to 100ft and it weighs 190 short tons. When the blue whale jumps up for air, they can reach the height of 9meters (30ft) high and higher at 12meters (39ft) there lung compacity is 5,000 liters (1,300 u.s gal.) They also have twin blow holes for air which are guarded by a splashguard and their flippers are 3-4meters (9.8 – 13.1ft) long. The blue whale can go as fast as 50KM per hour when they interact with other whales but when there alone, they go a bit slower at 20KM per hour is typically their normal speed and when there feeding, they slow down to 5KM per hour. They travel 0.056 and 283.221miles per day. The blue whale usually swims at the depth of 13meters (43ft) the deepest is at 506meters (1,660ft) blue whales mostly live alone or with one other whale. Blue whales can’t swallow anything bigger than a beach ball. The blue whales heart weighs a shockingly 400 pounds and the tongue weighs 3.0 Short tons. A baby blue whale can drink up to 380 liters of their mother’s milk also they can gain very quickly a baby blue whale weighs the same as full grown hippopotamus. The blue whale mostly only eats krill (shrimp) a full grow blue whale can eat up to 40 million krill a day. They normally feed at the depth of 330ft and the only time they surface feed is at nighttime.
