Weekly Reflection This week we mostly worked with our project groups. My groups job is to plan field trips to get pictures outside of school. This week we planned a whole class trip to Point Loma Nazarene and Sunset Cliffs. We actually went on the trip and it was a great experience to get out of the classroom and take pictures with my friends. I also went on a hike to Three Sisters Falls. This hike was an exhilarating experience and we got lots of pictures of the falls and other natural landscapes. I really enjoy going outside the classroom to learn because its a lot more entertaining and also I remember those experience more then inside a classroom. Overall this was a week that ill remember, planning two trips and actually going on them. Also from these two trips I got many landscape pictures that I will be able to choose from later. Chemistry This week in chemistry I planned out and got all the materials needed to make a mini furnace that will melt aluminum. We are designing the furnace around a video that we found on YouTube. After we get back from break we will be able to start building the furnace. The first step is to build the insulation for the furnace using water, play sand, and Plaster of Paris. Our goal for this furnace is to be able to melt metals and be able to form the the metal into different objects. If you would like to see the original video it is below. Humanities This week we got our John Steinbeck model writing piece critiqued and edited by a partner. We started this writing piece last week and finished it this week. if you would like to see the final draft click the link below. We also did a Juxtaposition writing piece. In this assignment we had to comment about the contrast of a partner's landscape picture that they took. I really liked this assignment because I had to really dive into the picture and look at it in a way that I had never done before. It also challenged me because I had to break apart the photo and really think hard about what makes a picture look good. If you would like to see this writing piece click the link below.
