Hot and Cold Reflection
In science class, we were studying the water cycle. Then Rob, wondering if it was related, showed us a video of someone who had water in one cup and whiskey in another, put the water on top and the whiskey on bottom, and the whisky rose to the top! It was zoo cool! And that got us thinking about a type of experiment we could do at school sort of like that (because we might not have been able to...

Indus Valley Reflection
For this last Humanities project, I was in a group with Maxx and Ruby, and we studied the Indus Valley civilization. All of us love to sing, so after about two days of researching, we decided to make a song. First we all three split up and tried to make our own choruses and then we all came back to divide which one to use. Maxx sounded like a rap that would would put in the middle of a song, so we...

Paleogene Science Project Reflection
In science we all choose one earth period to study for three weeks. This project was a bit different than others because we had to come with not only our project, but we were going to be prepared for our presentations. And for some people, that meant that their actual project was to be a presentation, or for instance, a keynote presentation. Either way, it meant that we had to take at least three...

Sumerian Project Reflection
For my sumerian project I did may things. My main topic was daily life, and I chose to make a replica city of a typical Sumerian city as well as writing a few things. I think this project would have been better on a longer timespan if I wanted a really cool finished product. However, I was quite pleased with the amount that I learned over the period of time that I had for my project. I felt that...
Sumerian Rights and Education
School was only for the wealthy, and the boys. Boys who were born into poverty worked in the fields or learned a trade. The schools were located of the ziggurat courtyards. The children wrote with reeds that required a sharp end on clay tablets, the size of a post card. The writing that the Sumerians created and used was called cuneiform. When the cities were developed, it became difficult to keep...
Sumerian Food
The food that the sumerians ate was sold in markets owned by wealthy merchants. The foods varied from fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, eggs and spices. For the meat they ate, they hunted pork, wild game such as fowl, gazzel, and even birds. They raised cattle sheep, goats, and pigs, and they used oxen as their transportation and ways for transporting objects They also hunted sea and freshwater...
Sumerian Architecture
The first cities known to mankind were pronounced Ur and Uruk. The city had a couple layers. The first layer was the farmland. Then the city. The houses and buildings, and walls that the Sumerians made were made out of mud from the river mixed with reeds and dried to make bricks. A wall surrounded the city. Its bronze gates stayed open during the day, and closed at night to keep out any wild...

Mercury
This week in Science we each chose one planet to study, and decided that we were also to make our planet on a scale of 1cm =10,000 km. The planet I chose was mercury. I am so glad I chose this planet.
It is closest to the sun and has a very interesting temperature range. Just before sunrise the temperature is about -183 degrees C, but by mid morning the temperature has risen up to 23...
UCSD reflection
Today we went to the UCSD campus. We took a bus there and walked down. It was a really fun experience.

Sugar Reflection
Recently in Science, we have been studying sugar. To learn more about sugar, we first came up with a list of all different names for sugar, and we came up with a lot. It sort of shows you how much sugar can hide itself in everyday foods, as Carwai said. We then research all the stages of sugar. They explained the temperature ranges and the appearance of the sugar when it is brought to that...
Humanities Project Reflection
In humanities recently, ruby and I studied crime rates. It started out that we thought the whole class minus maxx was going to studied it, but we have given a whole group project a chance once in humanities, and it is now labeled the fail project. So me and ruby were against it, taelon and andrew were neutral, and Charmaine for up for the challenge. Funny how that was, because after a lot of...
Mock Trial Reflection
In the seventh and eight grade, we had a mock trial. We had one last year, with John Fraher as our teacher, but that was pretty much reading off of a script, and the final decision, like whether the person was guilty or not, was already chosen for us. This trail we had another lawyer from the school who came in. He taught the defendant lawyers and John taught the prosecution. I was a...

Great Artists Reflection
I thought that great artist this year was the most productive great artists I have ever had. Choosing our artists was really simple. Rob suggest Sister corita kent, we researched her, all thought her graphic art was really cool, came to an agreement, and bam!, we had our artist(I, personally thought that her being a nun was really awesome). We then had to deicide on a few projects.
We had all...

Humanities Immigration Project Reflection
I feel that I learned so much more in this project than the previous “fail project”. Charmaine and I wanted to learn about immigration. So we decided to do a podcast. It wasn’t a long project, only a couple weeks, so a podcast seemed like a very suitable project for the amount of time we had. Our research was what came first. And it was actually a majority of the project as...

Science Cooking Gnocchi Reflection
In science class, to learn how to cook and about food chemistry, we did a cooking project. I was in a group with Maxx and we made Gnocchi. The way we chose this was that our whole class decided on a cuisine and guidelines for the project that each group had to follow. We decided that we had to make something Italian and you had to make noodles, and pasta sauce to go with it. So Maxx and I, like I...
Testing Acids and Bases with an pH Probe
Recently in science class, we completed a project, where we tested acids and bases using indicator and various household materials You can see the project in more depth in My Project Reflection. Using the notes we had from our last project, we tested the substances once more, using a Verier Lab Quest unit, or in its simpler form, a pH probe. I worked with Charmaine, because there was a limited...
Humanities Project Reflection
Our most recent Humanities project did not turn out well at all. I hate to admit it, but I really did not learn that much at all during this project. This was the first Humanities project we completed as a class, and from the way it truned out, I am pretty sure if someone tried to convince us to do another full class project, we would be hard to convince. The project was for each of us to choose a...

Rube Goldberg Reflection
For our Science Rube Goldberg project, Taelon and I worked very well together. Our first blueprint of our project had some unrealistic things we had to take out. In fact, most of the things we put in there we had trouble with or we had to change, but that all right because we definitely learned from it. I think we worked very well together because we would both contribute equally to everything, we...
Daddys Pink Rose by Cheryl Costello-Forshey
Her hair up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow Today was Daddy’s Day at school, and she couldn’t wait to go But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say What to tell her classmates, on this Daddy’s Day But still her mother...
Humanities Project Reflection
Researching and creating a project about women’s suffrage in America throughout history set me and my partner Ruby on a rant at some points. Ruby had an idea to do a Jeopardy show for our project and have some of the eight graders take part in being the contestants in our show. We put them into three teams(two of three, and one of two) and told them to read a chapter in a book that their...

To My Alarm Clock by anonymous
Every morning I lie there innocently sleeping
When the peace is ruptured by a horrible beeping. My serenity ripped asunder, sudden and drastic By this evil, demonic, red-eyed piece of plastic. I roll over in pain and pound on the snooze, Groaning, moaning, thinking ‘What’s there to lose?’ ‘Don’t make me get up, just nine minutes more.’ The same thing...

The Treacherous Ride
This is a poem I made about a very long road trip we took after the game. It is rather ridiculous and makes no sense, but I had fun making it. And the car ride wasn’t bad at all. Enjoy:
I came tired
and cross
But thankful
it was the other team that had lost
All the food we had to eat
was bagels and cream cheese
We stood through it all
and we still stand quite strait and tall

Science Experiment on Ramps
In science class we are studying physics. I am in a group with Ruby and Charmaine. Our individual groups chose a project that they wanted to do to learn more about physics. Our group conducted an experiment based on execration. We used adjustable science tables to form a 20 degree ramps on which the car would be let go from. We put Ruby at the four meter mark and me at the two meter mark. We would...
San Francisco Reflection
I really enjoyed our trip to San Francisco. I thought it was especially nice that at the end of the year we got to choose where we were wanted to go to. I really liked that we were able to plan our trip and that we handled our own money. I think we did a very good job handling money and that we gained experience from doing it. However, I did not like that sometimes when we had dinners together we...
