Pinhole Capturing!

In my STEAM class called Light, Sound, and Time. In this class, we have been watching videos on the three of these things relate in one way. We learned about how things get there color and how the eye perceives color in different ways. We learned about light waves and sound waves. Light waves are transversal. Sound waves are longitudinal. We have been looking at cameras and how they are able to take pictures. For this AP, we designed a pinhole camera. We had to bring in an oatmeal can or a box for the body of the camera. We had to bring in soda cans for the covering of the hole that is cut into the body of the camera. After the aluminum was in the box or oatmeal can, we stuck a hole in the middle of the aluminum piece with a pin because that is where the light is going to get through. We had to paint the inside of the body of the camera black and cover up all spaces where light could get into the camera because if there was some form of light in the body then the camera would not be able to capture the picture. Making this camera was very fun and it is something that I would like to show to someone else. We went to Latin for an FE because they let us use their black room so that we could actually use our cameras. Our picture was based on objects that we chose to take pictures of. I chose an eos lip balm because it is a small object. I thought that if my object was too big, the camera wouldn't have been able to capture the picture because of how small the pinhole camera is. I enjoyed my first unit of Light, Sound, and Time, and I hope you enjoy my project.

In conclusion, this AP was fun and I enjoyed working on creating a camera using things that you can use on an everyday bases.

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

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

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
