During this week, I learnt prime factorization.
here is a example
And this is how I got my answer

Paper Airplane Experiment
The hypothesis of this experiment “If we throw a plane that has smaller wings and built in aerodynamic features, then the plane will go further, because the paper airplane will glide through the air longer.”
The paper air planes that we tested were and there average
- regular airplane = 9.4 meters
- folded wings = 11.4 meters
- folded bottom = 10.2 meters
I think that our hypothesis is supported as with modifications to the plane aerodynamics, the plane cover more distance than with no modifications.
I learnt that even the smallest change to the paper airplane’s build can change everything.
Maybe for next time, I would change the size of the plane to see if size mattered.
Week 1 in Math 10
I use math when cooking or baking. If you have a recipe for 2 people, but you are making for 4 people, you will have to double the ingredients. So instead of 2 eggs its now 4 eggs. So for cooking, you will need to know bits of math for recipes so you don’t ruin the food or your taste buds. Also to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit or the other way around.
So math is vital to cook.

Climate in Canada
Territories
Effects of a warming climate: Sea levels will start rising and more flooding in coastal community’s which could completely destroy them.
Causes of a warming climate: Burning fossil fuel and deforestation are some of the biggest causes of a warming climate. And temperatures are rising around the globe and that is also a cause.
Modelling Mitosis
This is interphase, this is the longest phase of the cell cycle. Interphase is when the cell grows and is a stringy substance.
Early Prophase: Spindle Fibers form after the nucleolus disappears.
Late Prophase: The spindle fibers start attaching to the centromeres. The nuclear membrane disappears, the spindle fibres attach to the chromosomes.
Metaphase: all the chromosomes move towards the middle of the cell. (equator)
Anaphase: the spindle fibres start to pull the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the pole
Telophase: One complete set of chromosomes is at each pole of the cell. A nuclear membrane forms around each set. Then the nucleolus forms and the cell is ready to divide.
Cytokinesis: The final stage of the cell cycle and divides the 2 nuclei into 2 daughter cells.
That is how mitosis and the cell cycle work.

Edible DNA
This is a model of DNA, but its made of candy. DNA is located in the nucleus of a cell and has a master set of instructions for the cell. It looks like a twisted ladder and its made of sugar and phosphate. It takes around an hour for DNA to copy itself which is pretty fast in my opinion.
Some Questions I have
- How did we find out that DNA is made from sugar and phosphate?
- Why does DNA look like a twisted ladder?
I could do some research to find out these answers as I think these questions are quite unique and might not have just on answer.

Co-Design
On Feb. 2nd we had a zoom chat with Saul Mwame. He is a beekeeper from Tanzania and CEO of a beekeeping company called Haven Bees. Later in year on April 18th, Saul came to our class to have a talk with all of us. We talked about beekeeping problems and issues and asked him questions like “How did you feel when speaking at the UN.” He talked about how slow business is outside of Tanzania.” The experience was cool as I hadn’t someone come into my class in so long. A problem me and my group are going try and fix is the hive itself so that honey badgers and other predators can’t break into it.
Co-Operate
To start this project, we needed to research what material you need to make a hive and how to make one. How can we make a hive if we don’t know how. Samuel’s aunt is a beekeeper so he will reach out to her and get some info about the hive. Step 1. Brainstorm idea, Step 2. research about hives, Step 3. Design our hive, Step 4. assemble the product, step 5. hand it in.
Co-Create
Some of our ideas were just protect the hive from honey badgers, but we decided to make a climate controlling hive. We will need coding skills for the heating and cooling system of the hive. Building skills for the making of the hive. Some item we will need are a laptop, microbit, phone for photos.
Commemorate
Idk, were still learning and the quality of this post average and probably could of added more writing.

Purpose: Which fruit will produce the most electric voltage?
Hypothesis: When attaching the battery to a Orange or a Lemon, it will have the highest voltage amount.
Materials:
- 1 voltmeter
- 2 wires
- 1 nail
- 1 copper strip
- a orange
- a pickle
- a lemon
- knife
- zinc and copper
Procedure
- Cut the piece of fruit
- Put in 2 pieces of metal
- Attach to the voltmeter using wires
- record the results
- compare results from several pieces of fruit
Why? I feel that the citrus in the orange and lemon will produce some voltage.
Results
- Small Orange = .4 volts
- Big Orange = .3 volts
- Lemon = .5 volts then .8
- Pickle = .8
- Pear = .5 volts
- Potato = .5 volts

Conclusion
My hypothesis was wrong, the citrus fruits didn’t produce the biggest charge, the Pickle and Potato did. I really thought that the citrus would produce some sort electrical charge, but I was wrong.
