Innovation Day – Reflection

Over the past month or so, the whole school has been working on our innovation day projects. From February, to march, we have all been working tirelessly to complete our projects, waiting anxiously for the day to come. Eventually we all presented our projects to the judges and the winners received the medals. Now, after innovation day, we have been tasked to reflect on our innovation day projects.

Here is a picture of my project

Without any further ado, here is my reflection. Personally, I felt that I worked quite a bit while in school to contribute to my project, but I found myself with not enough time to work on it outside of school. On the weekend before innovation day, I spent a lot of time really preparing for innovation day. With all that in place, I had finally finished my project. I think I could have worked more outside of school and in result have done more. Despite that, I think that I have done pretty well in innovation day. In conclusion, I wished that I could have done more, but I feel like I got a pretty good amount of work done. Thank you for reading.

The Inuit Community

In social studies, my and the extended class worked together to make an indigenous community project. For my group, we did our project on the inuit community. We had to write about stuff like their roles, what they do, how they live and stuff like that. We had fun looking up and researching all our facts it. was really interesting to learn all about the wonderful inuit community.  I feel that its important to learn about indigenous communities as much as possible because after we found out about the residential schools, we knew that we had to reconcile for it and in order to reconcile, we really need to know about indigenous people and how they live.

Here are 10 facts that i learned

  • The word inuit means the people
  • The word NiaKojak means bread
  • The decision-making group is divided into two opposing teams. The pros team suggests their ideas, and the cons team shares their comments and reasons
  •  Traditional Inuit foods include arctic char, seal, polar bear and caribou often eaten raw, frozen or dried
  • The inuit believed in animism which means all things have a spirit including inanimate objects
  • Rubbing noses is not an Inuit form of kissing
  • Greenland’s population is primarily Inuits
  • Inuit prefer to be called Inuk or Inuit – but not Eskimo
  • Inuit lived in tent-like huts made of animal skins stretched over.

Innovation day – Reflection

For my innovation day project I decided to make a cup-in-ball game which was powered by electrical currents. Making the game was stressful for me though because I didn’t manage my time as well as I should have.  That’s one thing I wish I did better at. However when i was researching, i found that i was really productive, especially when in a quiet calm distraction free environment. I also realized I work better when I’m at school, rather than at home. Another thing i learnt about myself is i do my best work when i’m motivated so another thing to note when doing work/projects. So now that I know these things about myself I can be much more productive. That’s all, thanks for reading.

Holocaust remebrance day

Hello. Today i did some reaserch on people who went throught the holocaust using encyclopedia.ushmm.org. I read the ids of Sabrina, Masza, Aron, and Gertrude. Something they all share in common is that they were torn away from their lives because they were jewish. I think some of the hardships they all struggled with was having to leave behind their old lives in order to survive. They probably felt terrified. I really felt bad for them when they had to leave their friends and family due to the nazis. Its really important we remember the holocaust so that it never happens again. we need to educate others about it so that people are more aware of the people who want to hurt jews for being jewish. Thanks for reading

 

My coke bottle design

Have you ever had a bad hair day and there was not a hairbrush anywhere? My coke bottle invention would help. But before you would want it, you would want to know why you make a hairbrush out of a coke bottle, why you would choose my invention over other coke bottle inventions, and the ups and downs of my coke bottle. I will tell you all of this.

 

So first you would want to know why you would recycle coke bottles in the first place. It’s because of the pollution issue. Thousands of bottles end up in the ocean every day. In a year that would be millions, and by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. That is threatening our marine life. That might not sound like an issue but it is.

 

So now ill tell you why you would choose my coke bottle over others. As I said earlier, we need to recycle because of how much plastic ends up in the ocean, but why would you choose my idea over others? Sure other people might have fancy ideas like spray bottles and soap pumps, but why would you choose mine? Well, my idea is convenient and multi-purpose as it helps the environment and your hair!

 

Now I will tell you the ups and downs of my invention. Let’s start with the ups. As I mentioned before, it helps the environment, it’s fast, helpful, multi-purpose, and a good idea! Now the downs are that it is a coke bottle so it wouldn’t be the most hygienic choice, it would be very flimsy, and for some people, it might be hard to handle

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and now you know why you would choose my invention over other people’s invention. Now you might want to make a coke bottle invention too!

 

Below I will show you my design on Tinkercad

My Long House

Hello, I am Princesss kitkat and welcome to my post about longhouses.  Originally longhouses were homes for some indigenous communities. Characteristics of longhouses: They are brown and very long. They also have fireplaces, food storage, Holes in the roof, and the beds are even on the wall. The fireplaces are often used to cook food. Indigenous people used food storage to keep food during the winter. The holes in the roof are to keep the smoke out when the fireplace is running. In my opinion, longhouses are very convenient because often, multiple people live in the longhouse at once.

Here is a picture of the longhouse I designed.

Marble…

And slate

SlateUSGOV.jpg

 

So let’s get started with:

Basalt

Basalt is an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are natural rocks that come from the earth. In this case, basalt is 90% of the earth!

Let’s move on to:

Marble

Marble is a metamorphic rock. A metamorphic rock is a rock that can only form when sedimentary rocks or igneous rocks are heated. marble comes in many forms. some people like the rock just as it is, and others want counters or flooring.

 

Now finally…

Slate

Just like marble, slate is metamorphic. People want slate for tiles, flooring, and even roofing.
