Throughout the vacation I plan to complete two CAS projects: A group beach-cleaning project with Kayla as well as a chemistry department inventory project with Graciana and Mindy, all in my grade. Here are some tidbits into these projects. Click the following […]

Marshmallow Tower Challenge Reflection
Today, we did a cool, fun, and interesting activity during science class. That is… THE MARSHMALLOW TOWER CHALLENGE! You can learn more about it here… So basically we used 20 sticks of raw spaghetti, 1yd (91.44 cm) of tape & string, and a marshmallow within 20min. Here’s some picture of it… We tried to make […]

I was having difficulties on correctly measuring the exact frequency and pitch plus there were too many interferences nearby. I even borrowed a microphone from the IT department […]
Being Reflective on Work and Machines
Just a note on the reflection questions before I start reflecting…. How much did you know about Work and Machines before we started? How would you improve your Inclined Plane Lab report? Not just I would do better–think about the criterion rubric and make yourself goals to work toward! Discuss what would you like to […]

A force is simply a push or pull, but having sizes and directions. Although it seemed simple, force can change the acceleration of an object, therefore changing the speed or direction of the object. When anytime an object is moved, we can make sure that it’s been pushed by a force. The SI (or, official) […]

Every organism goes through a series of cell division in order to survive, and there are two different kinds of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Although they are all kinds of cell division, they are quite different between the two kinds. So what is mitosis and meiosis? In mitosis, a cell divides into two completely […]
