What did you notice?

I noticed that she loved what she was doing and that she could hear with her touch. I also noticed that she had on braclets, and she didnt have on any shoes.

What did you enjioy about her performance? Please be specfic

I enjoyed when she explained how she played and touched the different instrunemts to understand the sound. I also like when she speed up playing on the xylophone and slowed down.

Project description

The project was to use a box to show a character trait. You had to use at least five lights,you also needed an extra flair for example makes your box move, and a working button or switch to trigger all your lights and or motor.

Process

For my box i picked the word joy ! I used this word because it let me have freedom to work with my box. The way i represented this word was to add things that people liked and be happy and free with the box. My lights were set up in series circuit two row wired all inside of my box.I also have a button on my box and it turns on all my lights .

I made a battery holder out of Popsicle sticks, and i hot glued the ends of the wires to the battery so that the button would be able to activate all the lights. Then i connected some wires to the battery so that it would light my box up.

Recap/reflection

When I got my drafts peer edited it helped me understand what i was doing wrong

Some times it messed up my thought of thinking

I learned a lot of new things while doing this project. I learned how to set up parallel, and series circuits, strip wire, and a lot more.

I would pick a different trait to portray, because somethings didn't work out how i planned they would go.

Locker problem

Locker problem
Ceara harris

How many lockers are open? Me and my classmates figured out that there are 31 lockers open. This was very hard to figure out because there are so many ways to get answers to this problem. But once you get at least one equation it is very easy to follow the pattern. This also had to do with figuring out the perfect squares or you wouldn’t be able to figure out the lockers that were open. Which lockers are open? This was the really hard part to figure out in the problem. We all worked together and figured it out. I used square roots to figure out which lockers were open. Which lockers are perfect squares? We came to a conclusion that the perfect squares are (1*1), (2*2),(3*3). So you use perfect squares to figure it out. They have an odd amount of factors they will change there state to opposite (o, c, c ) These lockers were open because the students came through and opened and closed them, so some lockers were never touched again.

line across= closed

no line =open

today i am going to show you what we did for in .

Question:write two of your own order of operation problems and solve them. They must include four integers.

problem: (9+12) /3=

(9*9)4 to the seond power-7=

For this problem you have to fill in the ( ) problem: 10+4/2*8=

what is mysics?

math: personally i think math is a subject that is sometimes fun and sometimes challenging . Math is one of those subjects that you have to rally think and use your brain. Math is a subject that uses alot of numbers, symbols, and thinking.It is something that you will always need and use in life.

Physics: I think that physics is a type of science it is really the study of matter and energy. this will be a fun subject because i love science. I think that physics has to do with currents ,electricity, lights ext. Also i think that this Will have to do with how much space a certain object will take up.
