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 appliances that we were representing. I hope you enjoy and learn something new!




In conclusion this AP was very interesting. The part that I struggled with the most was making sure that we had the right units for the calculations and having enough parts for our circuits. I was able to accomplish these challenges with my partner because we made sure that we asked for help from our teacher and we also went back to look at previous assignments so that we could understand the work that we needed do for this AP. Overall, I enjoyed working with my partner and I am glad that we were able to work together without any problems. I hope that you were able to learn something new from my AP and I can't wait to see what the last unit of my junior year has for. Thank you!

The Lion and The Wolf

In stories, we have been talking about fables and how all fables teach lessons. We talked about the characters that are usually in fables. They are mostly animals that can talk because people don't want for children to feel bad. We had time to work on our projects during class and I took advantage of that time because I knew that I was going to need the time due to my active sports. Sharon helped us a lot with our projects. We created a fable in class and it helped me understand what I had to do for my project. My story takes place in the jungle/ wild and I hope you enjoy my story! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once upon a time, there was a large lion named Queen. She was very nice and she loved taking care of the other animals in the jungle. Queen was always there for her fellow animal friends, she would make sure the elephants are never in trouble by guarding them when they want...

Can You Truss Your Bridge?

This is the last term of my junior year in my STEAM class called "Urban Planning". We have been focusing on bridges during the first unit of Urban Planning called "Load". We looked at different types of bridges and we studied why some bridges are more stable than others. We also learned about the forces that act upon bridges and the different types of energy that is created. For this AP, we had to build a bridge with our partners out of toothpicks and we tested them with weights in the OC. This was a very fun process and I enjoyed watching how my classmates had different ideas for the same type of bridge. My partner and I put a lot of work into building our bridge and I am happy that we were able to work with each other without any problems. I hope you enjoy my project, Thank You! For the process, everyone received 60 popsicles sticks and Elmer's glue. We had to make the bridges so that they can hold up to 10 pounds. Our bridge was able to hold ...
