Taffy Makers 1 - Burnt Sugar 0
This year in science we have been looking at chemistry. While looking at that Carwai brought up the idea of also looking at the different stages of sugar. What we did first was looking up the stages of sugar. We found out that there are seven stages of sugar, the lowest being at a temperature of 223°F and the hottest stage before the sugar becoming burnt at 320°F. We then looked at the different...
Mock Trial 2011 Reflection
This year the 7th graders and the 8th graders did another mock trial. Last year we did the trial on the Scopes Monkey trial which was about someone who was arrested for teaching evolution even though it was against the Butler Act. Last year the trial was quite scripted and we pretty much just read what was in the packet and added a few things. This year, the case was a lot less scripted. The case...

Debates Reflection
This year we decided to try and have some debates. Why we came to this idea was because many people were bored and didn’t like having to do project, finish it then another project right after. So someone suggested the idea that we do debates. So what we did was we wrote down a bunch of ideas on the whiteboard about interesting things that we would like to debate about. We each would then...
Great Artists Reflection
This year will definitely be a most memorable Great Artist year. Yes because it was different from all the rest and because this was also the last Great Artists for us graduating eighth graders. This year was also a different year for us because in the younger years, teachers would decide our artist for us. And in closer years, we would argue for days on what artist we wanted to do an not everyone...

For our sort two week project in humanities I decided to do a sort of add on to my previous project. My previous project was about the Cold War and I had worked with Max and Trevor and we had each studied a different war that the US was involved in. What brought me to the idea of this project was when I was showing my essay and my video to my dad he was looking at it and said that I keyed in on...

Cold War Reflection
For my second project for humanities I learned about the Cold War. Actually I was in a group with Trevor and Max but we each chose a different war that had made an impact on the US. But before we had decided what war we wanted to do we had to come up with some sort of project. At first we were thinking of working all together and doing two, three week projects. One project that we thought about...

A Poem for Baseball
Baseball
You can never always win,
no matter how hard you try,
there will always be someone above you,
someone who can throw the ball harder,
someone who can hit the ball farther,
someone who can catch better,
run faster,
in baseball you can’t always win
no matter how many innings you play,
you always have losses.
The Cold War
World War II was a terrible war that brought many countries together and many countries against each other. Two of those countries were the US and the USSR (the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). At that time the USSR was made up of Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Estonia, Lativia and Lithuania. But...
Death Alone
Pablo Neruda
There are lone cemeteries, tombs full of soundless bones, the heart threading a tunnel, a dark, dark tunnel : like a wreck we die to the very core, as if drowning at the heart or collapsing inwards from skin to soul. There are corpses, clammy slabs for feet, there is death in the bones, like a pure sound, a bark without its dog, out of certain bells, certain tombs swelling in this...
A Soldier
A Soldier by Robert Lee Frost
He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled, That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust, But still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust. If we who sight along it round the world, See nothing worthy to have been its mark, It is because like men we look too near, Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere, Our missiles always make too short an arc. They fall, they rip...

Avalanche
The helicopter blades were making a noise so loud you could barely think to yourself. I turned and looked at Arthur. He seemed to be trying to tell me something but the helicopter was making so much noise I couldn’t hear him what so ever. I just nodded and he smiled. He then got out a sticky note and a pen and wrote, “You can’t hear me can you?.” on it. I then replied by...

Video of the Rube Goldberg-style invention that Tati, Tobin and I created is now available.
The invention was built to do four things:
1. Turn On Projector
2. Pull Down Projector Screen
3. Turn Off Lights
4. Press Computer Spacebar To Start Movie
And it actually worked! A movie played with no human interaction!
You can see my reflection on the project here.
