Wind Erosion
In science we have been studying erosion. All of the kids in my class had to work in a group of two or three people and studying one type of erosion. In my group we had to study wind erosion. We had to find seven vocabulary words that were new to most or all of us. We also made a model of how the land changed over a long period of time caused by our natural force. One of our models is before and the other is after. Our sand dunes have gotten taller and steeper and there is a more obvious coastal line because the wind blew the sand up on the dunes making them taller and the wind picked up and moved the sand away from the coast so there is a more obvious coastal line or completely new. We also have little plants on our models because plants will help secure the dunes in place so they don’t move around as much.
Science Volcano
In science class we created volcanoes. We divided into groups of 3-4 people. The volcano my group created is a shield volcano. A shield volcano has gently slopping sides, lava flow, and it has a quiet eruption.
Corte Suprema
Antony Elonis se puso amenazas en FaceBook a su esposa, su nieto, un investigado de FBI y a varios escuelas en su area. Elonis diga que el tiene el libertad de decir lo que quiera porque el primer enmienda. El primer enmienda diga que todos tienen el libertad de expresar religion y de libertad de palabras. Yo pienso que no es justo que el puede hacer esto porque es un amenaza a varios personas y si no hicieron nada de lo el podria matar a varios personas.
Spaghetti and marshmallow tower
In science we just finished up a spaghetti marshmallow tower. We had to come up with a design with the research we found online. My group decided we were going to make our tower with mostly triangle shapes because we learned that triangles are the strongest shape. Our tower had to be 40 cm tall and we had to survive the earth quake machine. At the top of 40 cm we had to place an egg and the egg had to stay their for 10 seconds in the machine. Our egg fell out at six seconds because one of our spaghetti sticks broke while putting the egg in.
The Holy Spirit
Who is the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is the third realm of the trinity and is part of God. The Holy Spirit was sent after Jesus ascended back into heaven and he came to help us. The Holy Spirit descended from heaven onto Jesus after he was baptized. The father does everything on earth through the Holy spirit who works with in us. Unlike The Father and Jesus the Holy Spirit does not speak to us but work in our hearts.
How does the Holy Spirit work in my life?
The Holy Spirit is there to guide our thoughts and gives us right or wrong feelings to help us make choices. He also helps us pray when we don’t know what to pray. The Holy Spirit helps us understand what God is saying to us in the bible and helps us put it into practice. The Holy Spirit is a gift to us once we believe in God and he is like our stamp saying we are Gods child. The Holy Spirit didn’t necessarily live inside believers but worked differently than now. Now the Holy Spirit lives within the believers helping them and he will never leave us now. The Holy Spirit works in my life in a few different ways. I get prompts from him telling me I need to do something for someone I see or someone who is in need. I also get the good and bad feelings when I am doing something that I should or shouldn’t do. He guides me when I ask for his guidance knowing what to say to someone that comes to me in need. I pray and ask him for the right words and knowledge in the situation. Also before I read Gods word and ask him for understanding and I feel like I understand things better if I ask him for help.
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem can be used in an everyday life but most of time construction workers would use it. Pythagorean Theorem is to find the right angle by the sum of the two other sides. Also to find the diagonal length. The example we have in our math book is
Amy is making a brochure for the HDTV shown above. The screen
is 48 inches wide and 20 inches high. What diagonal length should
she use in the brochure?
Find the length of the diagonal of the TV screen.
20 squared + 48 squared
400 + 2304
2704
√2704=52
So in the first part they multiplied 20 times 20 and also 48 times 48. And with those answeres they got 400 and they add that to 2304 which if you add those two together it is 2704 then you have to find the square root of 2704 which is 52 and 52 is your diagonal length.
This can be used in my house during our construction when we are deciding how big we need our new fire place can be to fit in the space. We would get to use what I did above
Bowling
During our 8th grade year after the first nine weeks our teachers decided to take us bowling because all the students were behaving and working hard. We went bowling at Hudsonville lanes. I was bowling in a lane with Elise, Ally H, and Alyssa. We played serious the first game and I won with 80 some points. The second game we all just played fun and did crazy things like bowling with our opposite hand, under your legs and backwards. We also spent a lot just talking and hanging out with our other friends. We had a great afternoon full of fun.
Metaphor Writing
I am an avalanche.
On the mountain, the snow lays there, calm unharmful and some what peaceful. The mountain has pretty fresh-fallen snow on it. It is gaining the weight of the snow that is constantly tumbling out of the sky onto the mountain. The white snow is piling up and getting heavy over time. I am like an avalanche because when things happen in my life I just pile them up on me burying them inside trying not to show anyone around me. Acting like everything is beautiful and smooth in my life. Acting like my life is perfect and nothing is ever wrong. I come home from school and go to my room to hide emotions I have. Trying hard not to show the world around me my life problems. I used to go to bed and lay there wondering if anyone out there is trust worthy.
An avalanche after getting heavy with snow starts to slide down not able to hold itself up anymore. It tries to keep the weight on itself. It starts to slide knowing it can hurt someone or something in its way. Knowing that is will destroy everything and anything that is in its path on the way down from the steep mountain. I am like an avalanche because after things get too heavy for me to carry they start to bring me down. I tip over. I know if I show those issues people will be hurt or think I am weird. I don’t think I help to carry the weight of my problems because I think I have to deal with them by my self. I start to cause small damage to those things and people around me.
An avalanche starts tumbling down the side of a mountain not able to stop, crushing things and or people. Heavily packed snow falling rapidly down a beautiful mountain. Leaving disasters that can not be fixed with just easy clean up. Making people sad because the lost someone they loved and cared about. Maybe hurting them. Also destroying homes leaving families wondering where they will go next. I am like an avalanche because when my problems get too big and I can not hold myself up anymore I explode. I go tumbling down hurting friends, family, and people who care about me. I can’t hold myself up not anymore. I know I should have told people about my problems. I should have told my parents about the kid at school who said mean to me. My sister who did something to hurt me. My best friend who turned their back and became friends with someone else. My one parent who focused too much on their job instead of their little girl standing there waiting for the love and care that only that parent could give. Watching one of the closest people in my life die. Wondering about my adoption. Wishing I still talked to my birth dad. Shutting the people who care most about my life out. I hurt those in my life. Shutting them out, building walls that they can not easily break threw. I leave disaster behind me that I will not easily able to fix with a simple I’m sorry or a hug. This will take time, a heart that really means they are sorry, and the feet to move on and God to help me look forward instead of behind.
After the avalanche goes tumbling down the side of a lovely mountain it leaves disaster in its path. People have to dig things out or leave their homes and build something else to live in. Some people might not realize the avalanche is coming and they get stuck underneath the snow. Those people might die or be very lucky to survive. If someone dies you can never replace them and you will always remember that person and be sad. If someone gets really badly hurt it leaves them in pain and possibly life threatening issues. I am like an avalanche in this way because after you explode and you go tumbling down your mountain you hurt people and could maybe “kill them.” I know with my problems I have hurt some people really badly and it takes time and a true heart to ask for forgiveness but sometimes you “kill” people. Having them leave your life and not wanting to be apart of it. That has happened to me. I hurt people really bad and I have probably even “died” inside with the things I could have done or said during my avalanche. I am now working on sharing my life problems with my family members or a really close friend that I know will not judge me but help me carry the weight of the “snow.”
