1. Skills to Learn


a. What woodworking skills or techniques do you hope to acquire this semester

I want to improve on my use of hand tools and measuring as they are both key skills when working with anything to do with trades.
b. Why are these skills important to you

I would like to get into trades after high school, preferably an electrician, so I would be using hand tools quite a bit, and cutting wires to a certain size is very important.

2. Projects You Want to Try

I would like to make a sword and shield display to put up on a wall, as in all the pictures I have seen across the internet, they look really cool and fun to build.
a. What types of projects are you most excited to create in woodshop?

The passion project(s) where I would get to choose my own item to build.
b. How do these projects connect to your interests outside of class?

It would depend on what I am building, but if I am building it by choice, then I like it.
3. Life & School Connections
a. How could the skills you learn in woodshop benefit you in other school
subjects (like math, science, or art)?

In math, they always have word problems and trigonometry, and in Physics the same.
b. How might these skills be useful in your everyday life, future hobbies, or even
a career?

These skill I will learn in this course and other tech-ed classes will benefit my future career as I will be going into the trades.
4. Personal Goals. By the end of this course, what would make you feel proud of your progress
in woodshop

If I am able to complete all the mandatory projects such as the 3D cutting board and the jewelry box, and 1 project of my own choice, and I have a good understanding of all of machines and hand tools.

My goal this semester is to improve my listening and my writing skills in Spanish, because if I go travelling in South America or Spain, I want to be able to understand directions and what other are saying to me. I also want to work on my writing because it is hard for me to write a lot in Spanish, so I want to get better at that.

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.

Grammar Video Project “Complex and Compound/Complex Sentences”

Hello, I’m Aiden and me and Michael made a video on 2 types of sentences, complex and compound/complex sentences. It was a very fun project to work on I like the outcome of it. Now I’m going to tell you what a complex sentence is and what a compound/complex sentence is

 

So, a Complex sentence is a sentence made up of a dependent thought and an independent thought. The independent thought and the dependent thought can go in any order, as long as the idea get out right. Here is an examples

“When Obi-Wan was fighting Grevious, he didn’t that he would using a gun.”

The first part was a dependent sentence, and the second part was an independent sentence.

 

“When he lost his hands, Anakin was in so much pain.”

The first part was an independent sentence, and the second part is a dependent sentence.

 

A compound/complex sentence is when you have 2 independent clauses or more and at the very least, have at least 1 dependent clause. Here are some examples.

 

“During a harsh rainstorm, I was outside, and doing my job.”

The “During a harsh rainstorm” was a dependent clause and the “I was outside and doing my job” were the independent clauses.

 

“After losing Leia, the rebellion was more motivated, to fight back.”

 

“After losing Leia, the rebellion was more motivated” was an independent sentence and the “to fight back.” was and dependent thought.

 

Here are some test Questions

  1. What order does a complex sentence have to go in?

a) dependent then independent

b) independent then dependent

c) It doesn’t matter the order

d) I wasn’t paying attention

 

2. How many dependent clauses do you need for a compound/complex sentence?

a) at least 10

b)  at least 1

c) at least 5

d) at least 8

 

3. How many independent clauses do you need for a compound/complex sentence?

a) 3

b) 5

d) 2

 

4. How many dependent thoughts can go into a complex sentence?
