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.

 

Solution Proposal

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.

 

Currents of the Kitchen

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

  1. Cut the piece of fruit
  2. Put in 2 pieces of metal
  3. Attach to the voltmeter using wires
  4. record the results
  5. 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

Images of the Lab

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.

Periodic Table Feedback Reflection

1. What I know well about the periodic table

I got 14/20 questions right, I got lots of questions right that were related to Bohr models, family’s and periods. I would take some time to look at my periodic table to find out “Which family of elements contains a solid, liquid, and gas at room temperature?” So I feel confident with Bohr models and elements states at room temperature.

2. What I still need to work on regarding the periodic table

I need to know more about the elements them selves. I would need to know more about the atomic mass, symbols. If you asked me what symbol of oxygen was, I would know as that is one of the easiest to remember, but if you asked me what the symbol tungsten was, I would probably say something like T. So that’s what I think I need to learn on.

3. What I wonder about the periodic table

Part of me wonders how they chose the symbols. Like why is gold Au and iron Fe. THERE IS NO F OR E IN IRON. So that’s what I wonder about.

4. What goals I will set to understand the periodic table

I can work on making Bohr models as that will help me understand protons, neutrons and electrons and how they from a element.

 

Fictional Science Safety Story

All right class, today we will be doing a lab scavenger hunt, there are 29 items on your list. The Rules are 1. no gum, eating or drinking in the lab, 2. no open toed shoes like sandals, wear footwear that covers your toes like shoes or boots. And number 3, if you have long hair, tie it back. Now go find the items!!!

 

20 minutes later, Bob came up to the teacher, “Mr. Ligma, where is the Evaporating Dish?” The Evaporating dish is other there in the drawer below the Ring Stand.” 5 minutes later, Charlotte asked the teacher what the Whmis Poster was

Guide To WHMIS Symbols 2021 – With Helpful Infographic and Resources - Update - ACUTE

Mr. Ligma Explained that all of the symbols mean hazards and that any chemicals with one of this logos should be held and used responsibly. 5 minutes later, Ben and Nick were running around playing tag and knocked over a bottle with a Pictograms: Your Guide to the WHMIS Symbols | Worksite Safety logo, then….. BOOM. During the chaos, vials are falling, children are scared, and Nick knocks a down another chemical bottle and it has a Flame over circle logo. As the Lab get consumed by flames, Bob starts hearing wake up Bob, WAKE UP. The Lab wasn’t on fire a debate was happening, on whether dissecting animals is right or wrong. Half the class thinks that dissecting for science is right and the other class thinks that it doesn’t matter if its for science or not. 30 minutes later, the class starts a lab, the Candle Lab. Bob go up and gets a Petri Dish and Beakers. 10 minutes later, the bell rings

The Process

The process was very interesting, I was able to find a graph and lots of good information. One of the hardest parts of the process was using Sway, at the start it was quite difficult, but I got the hand of it and thinking of my wonder question was also quite hard. The easiest part was making the sub questions.
