Wednesday: Physical Weathering

12/19/2012

We often experience much rain in the lower mainland. When the temperature drops to freezing levels, it often results in snow. Today, the Port Mann bridge was shut down due to ice falling onto cars from high above. This can not only cause accidents but physical damage to buildings, roads, and other structures.

CHALLENGE: Use your research skills to learn more about 'WEATHERING' caused by temperature changes. Think about what happens to borax when boiling water is poured onto it. What happens when the solution cools down? What happens when roads freeze in the winter and warm up in the summer? (List Sources)

1.) Math 6 - Continue working on maintaining your investments
a.) Complete your estimates/calculations on paper.
b.) Using the second spreadsheet you created titled 'Calculations' input your information to double check your paper estimates/calculations.
c.) On the first spreadsheet titled 'TOTAL VALUES' update the closing price of each stock and the total value of each stock.
d.) Post any questions you have here.

Math 7 - Any assigned work.

2.) WRITE A RESPONSE:
a.) What 3 things did you enjoy learning about the most this term?
b.) Why did you enjoy learning about these topics?
c.) What was the most valuable thing you learned this term that you think will help you in the future?

I was in Mr.Hongs class last year, and most of the things we have so far learned are similar to what we learned last year. But there are a few things that I enjoyed learning this year. The first one is, the clay masks that we made. I hadn't worked with clay for a very long, so it was really fun. I also learned many tips about using clay. The second thing I enjoyed learning this term was divisibility in math. Most of us probably didn't enjoy it that much because it's math, but I personally enjoyed it because for me it was quite easy and very fun, and I learned lots, specially because it was the beginning of the year and I was excited to see all my friends. The third thing I had fun learning about was ....... I don't remember I have to go on stage now so I'll reply to this post! :P I'm coming!

Mr. Hong link

12/19/2012 02:35:35 pm

@ Pooh Bear - I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying learning this year. You have learned a lot of different things this year and have learn more about how to improve your learning. Your writing continues to improve and so do your research skills! Glad to see you taking ownership of your learning even during the school play!

The first thing I enjoyed learning this was about the five kingdom. I found it interesting learning about how all the living things are classified and about each of the kingdoms and taxonomy. The second is the stock market. I enjoyed watching the prices go up and down and learning about what shares are and what they do. The last thing is the digital art. I liked learning how to put a hand drawing into the computer and make it into a drawing you could find in a drawing book using pixlr or picmonkey or sumo.fm. The thing I think will be most useful is the digital art because when I am older if I become a video game designer I will know how to make the digital art.

Mr. Hong link

12/19/2012 02:36:17 pm

@ G Heffley - How does taxonomy help us?

Gamer

12/19/2012 12:09:32 pm

Water enters the cracks in the roads. When tempratures drop; it freezes and expands.
This makes the cracks larger; and the process deterirates the road.
constant road repair need to be done to keep the roads usable in areas with temtratures that drop below freezing often/

Enjoyed most; Art, Socials & Math related to the stock exchange

The stock exchange calculations make you understand that this is a form of gambling; you could make money or loose money; the results are not always predictable.

The current math we are doing will help me in the future.

The first thing that I enjoyed learning about this year was learning about the five kingdoms I enjoyed learning about it because it was very interesting what the five kingdoms are and it very cool how they were organized so well. The second thing that I liked learning about was how to make the clay masks like how to make the slip to join two parts of clay together I also like how you could make anything you like. The last thing that I liked learning about was how to make anime style art because it was cool on learning how to make the anime eyes and all the type of parts we made. I think the most valuable thing that I learned was math in general all the math that we learn is very helpful because math is every where and it is a life skill that we need to have to be successful in life.

Slender Man link

12/19/2012 12:50:44 pm

The three things I liked learning the most was digital art, the Five kingdoms and sports like volleyball. The reason why I like art is because I know I can do well in that specific subject, nearly the same reason towards P.E. but just doing something physical is fun. The reason why the Five kingdoms project was that we were given the choice on how to do this project for the first time the whole year. The most valuable thing I learned this term was how we could use the internet more often for worldwide sources.

@Slender Man why do you think you do so well in P.E. ans art?

I liked learning how to edit your pictures with pixlr and pic monkey, making my Animoto video and learning how to make our clay mask. I liked the pixlr and pic monkey because it is so cool how you can make your pictures so different just by editing it with the internet. The Animoto was a really easy fun and educational way of learning about your self and putting together a picture slide show. I liked making the masks because we learned how to specifically learn the technique of how to make it. I think all the stuff we do on the internet is mostly valuable to me in the future.

3 things I enjoyed learning about this term were, how to properly bump, volley, block, and to spike in volleyball. I enjoyed creating our clay masks also, I made spongebob out of mine! Lastly, I enjoyed doing the play.

I enjoyed volleyball because it's a really fun to play! Before I played on the school team I was pretty bad at volleyball, but now I am decent. I enjoyed the clay masks because it was cool using different materials to make art. Lastly, I enjoyed the play because it was entertaining and was fun.

I think, in my opinion, that the digital research skills were the most valuable thing I learned in this term. It will help me in the future because I now know to search up CC image instead of just the picture because I may be sued.

Lastly, I enjoyed doing the play at school, we were zombies and dance Thriller by Michael Jackson. ( look at the picture up )

I enjoyed volleyball because it's a really fun to play! Before I played on the school team I was pretty bad at volleyball, but now I am decent. It's a sport that you can play even untill you are older. I enjoyed the clay masks because it was cool using different materials to make art. It was different from the art we did before because we used different tools to create texture on the mask. Lastly, I enjoyed the play because it was entertaining and was fun. It was interesting to watch everybody act and dance.

The three things i enjoyed learning was art, the thriller, and how to create Onomatopeia art.

I enjoyed learning about art because art is one of my favourite subjects in school and what we learned in art was fun such as the borax cristals, Onomatapeia art, and the string ornaments, and i thought creating that was fun because it's good to learn about new things. Also I enjoyed the thriller because when we were getting tought that i was having a lot of fun. Lastly the Onomatopeia art I thought making the art was really fun because i like art and i like to draw and that was a really fun experience.

Mr. HOng link

12/19/2012 02:37:43 pm

@ Ghost - Out of all the different mediums you have worked with in term 1, which medium did you find to be the most useful for the future? Did you find the digital art to be useful at all? If so, how?

Lio link

12/19/2012 01:31:12 pm

This term, I enjoyed a lot of things. But 3 things that really stood out were digital art, making websites, using Gmail, Drive, etc. I liked all these because they involve technology. I enjoyed getting to use technology and exploring about new stuff like, Pixlr and PicMonkey. I think that Pixlr and PicMonkey will help me a lot in the future. But, in the future I think that they are going to have better apps than Pixlr.

Mr. Hong link

12/19/2012 02:27:56 pm

@ Lio - How has the Google platform (Gmail/Drive) helped you improve your learning this year?

Lio link

Google Drive and Gmail is like an on-the-air hard drive. You don't need to buy more external memory. You have 5GB of free space.

Spongebob Squarepants

12/19/2012 02:09:13 pm

A) three things I enjoyed learning about this term was Volley ball ( even though I knew how to play already), digatal art and how to use pic monkey and pixlr, and lastly learning about the five kingdoms.
B) I enjoyed learning about these things because in the future if someone asks me how to use pic monkey or pixlr or how to play volley ball or even stuff about the five kingdoms I will be able to help them.
C) Something I think that can help me in the future is just recently we are learning about stocks and total value, this will help me when I am older and want to do anything to do with stocks
P.s is the grd six math due tomorrow

I enjoyed learning about the 5 kingdoms. I enjoyed this because it was fun, it taught me about classifying living things, and even though I was nervous to present I did good and I got a good grade. I also enjoyed learning how to make animoto videos. I liked it because in the future you could get a job as an editor and making videos helps you with those skills. I also liked making clay masks because it reminded me of the elements of art and design because I also painted the mask.

A, My favorite thing that we did this term was all the electronics that we used. In my opinion class would not be the same at all with out all the electronics that we use. Also the thing about electronics is that you don't have to worry about forgeting yor homework at school it's probably saved on some acount so if you have a labtop,ipod,ipad,computer. You can do most of your homework that is saved on to a acount at home and at school. The other thing that I realy liked this tearm was volleyball. To be honest I did not know how to play volleyball or you can just say I wasn't good but then I joined the school volleyball team and learned a lot from that and my class in are class P.E. time. And the third thing that I really loved to learn how to do was onamanipedia art. That was so fun all the art looked amazing I never knew that only 3 colors (not including black,white) would look so good in art and it was also my first time doing that kind of art. B, I already explaned that in the sentences above. C, thing that we did this term that I think could would help me in the future would probably be, Stocks I think if you had a job that had to do with buying,adding,subtracting will all do with stocks even though stocks are not the easiest to understand in math they are fun to work with.

I liked learning about how to draw manga people because I love to draw and before I did not know how to do that. Secondly I liked learning a out the five kingdoms Because I like Sceince. And thirdly I liked P.E (Specifically Soccer) because I love sports. One thing that I think will help me is the five kingdoms.

Digital Art. I never really drew on the computer before this, my friend did, and I tried before we started that Term, so when we learned how to do that, it really helped me expand my visions, and now I do a lot of computer work and even bought a drawing program that I like, since I found Pixlr a bit clunky. I enjoyed it because I was born a artist, and doing all this art just helped and made me happy that we were doing something that I liked. I might become a graphic artist when I get older, doing that along with YouTube, so learning how to draw with a computer is preparing me for that.

I liked learning about video editing, google drive and how to make a website. I enjoyed learning how to use google drive because it helps me take charge of my learning because it saves automatically and I can access it anywhere I have a digital device. I also liked learning how to make a website because it could lead to all kinds of jobs and it is also a way I can show my learning to others. I liked learning how to make and edit a video because I could use it for a projector just for something fun to do

In my opinion I enjoyed learning about the 5 kingdoms because we need to know how to tell of something is posinus or not. It was a easy topic to talk about but I was really nervous to present it! I also learned about animoto on how to make a easy fast and fun video of your passions!

The most ca rate thing I did this term was when we did the school play two whole days in a row sure it was a lot of work but the three reasons why I liked this term was because it was wicked fun, it took a lot of work which I like. And at the end everyone gets to bow in front of the whole crowd it was more fun with the entire setup group. The thing that I learned from this term was that its a lot of work to pull off something so small on stage.

Experiments for Weathering
http://www.ehow.com/info_8676224_experiments-weathering.html

This site suggests that teachers should do an experiment with the students and place matched rock types in cups and then keep them overnight in either water or carbonated water and then review the effects.

This would be an example of chemical weathering.

Firstly, I enjoyed learning about Math.
I also enjoyed learning about the different mediums of art. Such as the pop art, clay masks, pots of poppies, digital art, etc.
Lastly, I enjoyed learning about Language Arts.

I enjoyed learning about Math, because in the future knowing different strategies, like using grids and number lines, will help me quite a bit. Basically every job out there, requires some Math behind it, so I know I can rely on what we have learned, and will learn in the future.
I liked learning about the different mediums of art, because if I want to have a job like a graphic artist, I can accomplish it. I also liked how we realized that art could be anywhere and anything. For example, we painted our pots for our poppies, and some of us created Prezi’s, Animoto’s, etc that leaded up to an imagine in the end.
Finally, I enjoyed learning about Language Arts the most because we learned many things that can help us with our writing. We learned about giving and receiving feedback, we learned about research skills, citing sources, etc. This will help me in the future because I love to write and I would really like a job to do with writing. Maybe I’ll become an author! c;

Mainly, I learned about digital privacy. I learned all about digital law too. I liked learning about this because I never knew a lot of it. It’s not just about staying safe on the internet. It’s also about giving people credit in which they rightfully deserve because of digital law. I learned that if you want to use pictures, it’s better to use creative commons, or royalty free images. I think this is the skill that will help a lot of us in the future.
