Silvery Moon
- What questions did you need to research in order to create your Sway?
I had to ask what is silver, facts about about silver, what is it used for and many more
- What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project?
How to embed a code, Destiny, Google, World book and Gale was useless… Ducksters was a good one to use
- What was the process you used to investigate the topoic and how did you verify and cite the information you found?
I tried to remember a few things from when I did my Sway before, I also asked specific questions on the different sites. I new that my information was correct because I used Destiny
- How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?
It was a bit frustrating because I didnt really want to learn about High ho Silver. I wish I had not lost my first Sway so i dont have to do this twice 🙂
Heat and Waves
Define
Prolonged period of abnormally hot🔥 weather, 5°C higher than usual.

-Energy Education: Heat waves are caused by trapped air, clear or partly cloudy skys allow solar energy to further heat the ground, and air mass. Average maximum world temperatures keep rising almost every year as a direct result of Global Warming.

Interphase chromatin gets bigger , stronger and duplicates
Prophase. chromatins become an X chromosome. nucleus disintegrates
ProMetaphase chromosomes are starting to get in a line
Metaphase chromosomes get in a line
Anaphase pulled apart

A Candy Double Helix for Science
Currents from the kitchen
- Purpose: Which fruit will produce the most electric voltage?
- Hypothesis: We will get electricity when we connect the right fruit to the wires, like an orange
- Material: 1 voltmeter, 2 wires. 1 nail, 1 copper strip, a lemon, an orange and potato
- Procedure: We connected the wires to the voltmeter, put the copper strip and nail in the fruit and connect the wires from the voltmeter to the copper strip and nail.
- Reasoning/Why: Because oranges are citric
Lemon: 0.5V
Orange: 0.2V
Potato: 0.5V
- Electron are flowing because of wires, the copper strip and the chemical that makes certain fruits and veggies starchy or sour
- Independent variable: fruits
- Dependent variable: voltage
- Controlled variable: copper strip, nail, wires
- We could use iron and gold instead of the copper
- Wires breaking, rotten fruits and vegetables
- We could someday use apples , potatoes and lemons to charge our phones
SCIENCE SAFETY
Rosalina and Daisy are running a science experiment with a hot plate and a buret to see on how different amounts of liquid evaporate differently. Daisy accidentally mixed 2 beakers of unsafe liquids and put it in the buret, and Rosalina was stuck in her notes and did not pay attention to the reaction and put a few droplets on the hot plate, and the liquid started sizzling and sparking, the liquid melted through the hot plate and exploded Rosalina and Daisy told their professor, and they found out that the liquids that Daisy mixed was highly corrosive and flammable, they learned to first always read the beakers before mixing and that Daisy or Peach should not to touch any chemicals.
Assimilation vs. Inclusivity
By Unknown
Written by Chay Ralph
Assimilation vs. Inclusivity By Unknown shows Indigenous people and their colourful culture on one side and moving right to left showing them turning grey to white. Analysis of this picture shows complete lack of RESPECT, COLLABORATION or INCLUSIVITY of Indigenous people with a European culture.
Colour is used to show a vibrant culture and beautiful colourful outfits. The children are smiling, and nature is infused in their outfits Moving to the left the people in white are frowning faces and they are wearing simple very grey and plain outfits that are all the same. Colour is also used to show the differences in skin colour. On the right there is colour used to show skin colour and as it moves left it goes greyer and greyer to white and ghost like. This shows there was a lack of respect, collaboration and inclusion for the Indigenous culture, tradition and lifestyle.
The indigenous students on the right side of the picture that is colourful have Indigenous traditional clothes, flowers, headdresses, hair styles and this symbolizes their culture, variety and acceptances. Whereas these are completely removed on the left side of the image. This shows there is no collaboration between the two different cultures. Also the image shows there was no inclusion of the culture of indigenous people. Their unique and different culture was removed over time and not included in their future identity. This is shown with their hair cuts because on the other side the students have buzz cuts, clothes that have no colour and they look like a religious uniform.
Lack of respect, collaboration and inclusivity is also shown the following reason. There is a line for the changes we can see with between the traditional clothing and the white school uniform. There is a line in the picture that shows the change in skin colour. It goes from a darker complexion to a milkier white complexion. More and more white was added. The kids that are more white are in perfect rows. Whereas the kids that are colourful are not as lined up. On the right side the kids are making eye contact and they look happier more alive.
Conjunctions – Grammar Video
Conjunctions
Conjunctions are like the perfect Tetris piece that will connect sentences and clauses together perfectly. The function of conjunctions is to combine sentences, and phrases, and clauses. Conjuntions allow people to create compound and complex sentences. Without conjunctions humans would not be able to combine ideas into one sentences. Sometimes conjunctions create lists (and, or), and sometimes conjunctions create subordinate statements when one part of the sentences depends on the other part of the sentence (when, if). Sometimes conjunctions can be a adverb in the case of adverbial conjunctions (However, Instead).
Questions:
- Conjunctions are used to combine ______, ______ and ________.
- Conjunctions create ________ and _________ sentences.
- Fill in correct conjunction: I like to play hockey, ____ and I like to play soccer.
