Science 9 – energy production
Part 1
Aspects of energy production
Some benefits of using electricity is when we produce and use electricity more efficiently, it reduces both the amount of fuel needed to generate electricity and the amount of greenhouse gases. So therefore, there is less greenhouse gases which makes the air less polluted. Another good thing about it is we can reuse it and make it renewable. The benefits of this is it can create jobs, improve the public health and save money. The disadvantages of this is that it can sometimes not always be a constant source of energy, it can also cost a lot and the main one is just low efficiency in general.
Statement to Justin Trudeau
I think that energy production is a good thing because it has a lot of advantages like having a healthy public and less pollution in the atmosphere. But some complaints that I would have is that the cost can be very high and hard to afford for some people and that it is not always a reliable source of energy. But I think that those things can be fixed with enough dedication.
Part 2
- Some question that I needed to ask myself were things like why I chose to put these advantages and disadvantages because they needed to be valid so people like the president would agree with me.
- The process I used to investigate the topic was to research and learn about the good and bad things of energy production therefore giving me decent points to my research.
- The way I verified the site was that I made sure the points they gave me made sense and were valid to me to be able to use, I also made sure that the site wasn’t sketchy and full of adds.

Open in new tab A fresh look at the periodic table
Define
We think that the problem is the shape of the periodic table in general because it`s kind of all over the place, so we can fix it by doing several things.
Discover
Some questions that we have are how would we re do the periodic table and make it look better all together and how much do we need to change. How would it affect people who haven`t memorized it yet and will it affect them for the better or the worst. We are wondering why the periodic table was designed that way because if we change it we are wondering if it will make a difference.
Dream
Some information that the periodic table tells us is that it`s kind of unorganized and It can be set up much better. We think that we can arrange it better by putting it in the shape of a spiral, such as putting the metals on the outside then the metalloids and finally the non metals on the inside. We also think that we should change the colour of the metals to red colour and the non metals to blue and the metalloids magenta.
Design
We decided to put it in a spiral shape so it would look nicer and more put together and to change the colours so they make more sense to us because the colours that we had used before were kind of confusing.
Picture – 
These are some examples of the elements we used – 
Deliver
We started off by colour coding the different elements and cutting them up into single pieces, then we took them in numerical order and glued into a spiral on a separate piece of blank paper and finally we added the elements that are on the bottom to the side of the spiral.
Debrief
In the end everything went pretty well because we had a well formed plan to follow and it ended up being successful. Things that we could have done better is adding more detail to our plan and adding a legend, but we decided not to add it.
