The Evolution Of Royalty

This is my first action project. The projects are based on organisms that the 10th-grade class went to go visit at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I chose the Lion as my organism because I’ve always found them interesting. I feel like I personally connect with this certain animal because My zodiac sign is the Leo and I wanted to know if we had any traits that were the same. And I feel like we do. I will be talking about how they act, what habitat do they live in, the type of foods they eat, etc. I want to know how they are and what their life is like.

The African Lion
Here lies a chart of what family my organism come from and what its taxonomic levels are:


TAXONOMY LEVEL
CLASSIFICATION OF YOUR ORGANISM
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION OF THIS CLASSIFICATION

Heterotrophic
Phylum
Chordata
Spinal Cord

Mammalia
Fur

Primates
Tree dwelling

Panthera leo
Predetors


These are two pictures that I took when we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo for our first FE in Population.  They only had the female lion, so that was the only thing I could take pictures of.

Here is a picture that I drew of my animal:

  • Heterotrophic because lions eat other animals so that they can have energy and so they can survive.
  • Chordata because they have spines and they help them walk
  • Mammalia because they have fur, and it helps them stay warm
  • Primates because some lions live in trees
  • Hominidae because they can everything with 3D Vision
  • Panthera because a lion is a big cat
  • Panthera leo because lions are predators which means they hunt for their food
Set Theory
Here is the set theory that shows how my Lion is related to house cats:

L( Traits of African Lions): 4 legged, carnivores, reproduce, tree-dwelling, sharp teeth and claws
C( Traits of House Cats): make noise, small, scared easily, protective, live in houses

  1. LUC= ( 4 legged, carnivores, reproduce, sharp-teeth and claws, make noise, protective)
  2. L∈ ( make noises and protective)
  3. L∈' ( herbivores, autotrophs, have scales, live underground
Here is a list of similarities and differences between my organism and two other organisms:

Conclusion

In conclusion, this AP has been very interesting I didn't think that I would've been able to do this AP because of the way Aaron was explaining it. Now I know how the action projects go and what they are supposed to look like. From now on my AP should become better and better due to progression and I hope that I did a pretty good job on my project.

Opposites Attract!!

In my STEAM class, Urban Planning, we finished our second unit, Power, and we learned a lot about circuits and eco friendly home appliances. For this unit, we went to the Museum of Science and Industry to watch the Tesla coil be set off. That was a really cool experience because I wasn't expecting for the coil to be that loud. We have been studying circuits and how to make them. We learned about the different symbols that are used for circuits when you draw them out. For this AP, we were paired up with another person in our class and that made the process of this project better because there was a lot of work that had to be done for this AP. The format for this AP, was slideshow format. In our slideshow, you will see the circuit that we created, the eco friendly home appliances that each resistor is representing, calculations, and more. We had to talk about how this AP connected with SDG 7 and why we chose it. You will learn about the circuit that we designed and the home applianc...

Activist Paper

In my elective course called Global Peace, we have been focusing on the Gandhi principles and how people use these principles throughout their lives. For the AP, we had to type a 4-6 page paper about an activist that we chose, according to a list of activist that the teacher gave us. I chose Deray Mckesson to be the activist that I wrote my paper on. The process of this paper was very interesting and intense. I felt like I was going to struggle a lot with this paper because I was nervous. Sharon helped me by giving me corrections and helping me with the guide of the paper. Once I recieved all of the corrections from Sharon and applied them to my paper, that helped me a lot and I was able to continue to work on my paper. The rubric that Sharon gave the class was extremely helpful and that helped me with knowing exactly what to put on my paper because I was confused on what to talk about with the paper especially since it is a 4-6 page paper. Overall, the paper turned out fine and I fin...

Freedom Of Speech... But Don't Take It Too Far!!

In my Humanities Class, Policy, we finished our last term of this class. I am so happy that I was able to take this class because I now know what I want to be in life because of this class. This class helped me realized that I willIn class, we have been learning a lot about the Supreme Court and the types of power that this court has. For this AP, we had to chose a certain case and talk about how that certain case was involved with this case. I learned so much from this case because the one that I chose actually deals with my life as a teenager in school. I chose slideshow format for this AP because they help me gather more information and I actually understand the work that I am doing. We visited the Veteran's Arts Museum and it was so interesting being able to see actual clothing and letters from important wars gives you a different look on it. Down below is my slideshow, hope you enjoy! In conclusion, I really enjoyed making this AP. Being able to learn about my rights...
