Una Casa Pequeña

The last few weeks this Winter we have progressed a lot in our 'Spanish I' course here at GCE. We have learned things like how to describe spatial relation like aqui : here, ahi : there, and alli : there (farthest). we also learned all the various names for the rooms of a house as well as what chores can be done there. The last thing we learned was the different conjugations for -er, -ar, and -ir verbs. The goal for this units action project was to put all that we learned together. To achieve this we created a labeled floor plan for our very own house design in google drawings with a living room, a bedroom, a dining room, and a bathroom. Once we did that we focused on practicing our verb endings and spatial relation by writing about all the different chores you can do in each room with the correct conjugations on them and using estar in a sentence to reflect on location. Here is are the floor plans for my house!

House Chores for each room

La sala:

Yo Sacudo los muebles en la sala

Yo Paso la aspiradora en la sala

Yo Miro la televisión en la sala

Yo Ordeno el dormitorio

El comedor:

Yo lavo los platos

Yo saco la basura

Yo lavo la mesa

Estoy:

Yo estoy en la sala

La sala está a la izquierda del dormitorio

After thought:

This unit covered the most we've done in Spanish 1 so far. The topic most challenging for me was memorizing the conjugations for each of the verb endings. We did lots of practice with this topic using all types of verbs, and being able to correctly conjugate these verbs is a huge step forward for me. The thing I am most proud of with this action project was writing the chore sentences. It implemented and combined 2 different concepts we learned so getting that completed felt really good. I hope you all enjoyed this project. Thank you for checking it out!

Bleachy battery building

This most recent unit was a very short unit for fuel. It lasted no more then a single week. We learned all about how batteries, electricity, and motors work. We get to watch our teacher, Will, smash an electric pencil sharpener with a hammer to retrieve the electric motor from inside. With the electric motor we identified each components - stator commutator and rotor. Seeing these components firsthand really helped solidify my understanding. Then using a multimeter we were shown that electricity can flow both ways ways by placing the prongs to the bottom where the battery goes and spinning what is usually the drill piece, we got minimal results with around .2 volts being put out. Lastly we learned of our action project. To build our very own battery with the electrode and electrolyte of our choice. I chose bleach and rice wine vinegar for mine and used pennies and some really heavy screws as my electrodes. Please enjoy my lab report as well as a few p...

Papaya Pete

Papaya Pete Welcome to our first unit of Food For thought! A class where we talk about the Anthropological and historical ideas that food takes us including where it came from and how that in turn informs us about ourselves. Did you know that corn has domesticated us? It turns out that what was once a grain has evolved and grown along side us to be more useful to us, because it turns out that being useful to humans has become the greatest evolutionary advantage ever! To add insult to injury corn is in just about any food you could think of now. Don't believe me? check the ingredients on the back of your Cheetos. Its in just one form or another. During this class we traced back our roots as far as we could go to see what the different foods could teach us about where and who we came from. We put all this info together in a colorful family tree. We also put together a map with the center of origin for almost every food crop with trade routes and the ancient civilizations that ...

Patience with Patients

In our combination math and science STEAM class called ‘Cure’ we previously explored the magic of how allopathic or alternative medicines work within the body and stop certain natural processes to make you feel better. This unit we are in now is called: ‘Prevention’ in this course we learned all about the history and evolution of vaccines. We learned how in the very beginning different forms of vaccination like variolation and inoculation were a lot more dangerous to administer because of the use of live viruses. We then learned how as we got closer and closer to the fully fleshed vaccine, along the way we discovered that once a certain amount of the population gets vaccinated even those who aren't vaccinated are protected by those around them. This phenomenon would eventually be called herd immunity. In class we heard a lot about the importance of this phenomenon but what really hit it home for me was the largely difficult yet eye opening herd immunity lab that a...
