Science reflection

     In the beginning of the first quarter, we started learning about the proper clothing for wearing during lab time and their names.  We also learned how to determine which chemicals are dangerous. In addition we studied names of certain tools.  We had some quizzes on which tools should be used and what time.  As an example, when dissecting objects we should certainly use the dissecting pin, the dissecting plate, tweezers, etc. When doing all these awesome experiments we always take off jewelry,  watches and big heavy coats. We put on gloves, lab coat and glasses.

     This first quarter I think my learning habits were pretty good.  I think I did best on the learning habit called responsibility.  I think for responsibility I would grade myself a 4, because I always bring my materials to class, and never get late.  I think for inclusive I gave myself a 3, because I usually try to invite other people to work with me.  I gave myself a 3, for being risk taking and perseverance because I try my best to say the answers out loud and because I try my best even if it is hard.  One example is after working with chemicals in class, when it was over and I had to go to my bus I  remembered that my table wasn't clean from doing the experiment, so I went to clean because it can be dangerous.  I would grade myself a 3 for curious, because I usually try to know what is going to happen next in class.  I always try to predict what class will be like and what were going to do.

Lucas and Isaac writing down our answers.

      During this first quarter I had lots of fun working with my friends and new people.  While doing these experiments and working hard, I learned many new things.  As an example,  to see the exact amount of chemical that needs to be put inside a test tube, you need to look at a straight angle.  I also learned that unnecessary materials should be kept under your desk at all times for the materials not to get ruined and for them not to occupy too much space.  A couple of examples of unnecessary materials are a pencil case and computers.  Always clean  your table after used, because someone may sit on your chair, put their elbow on the table, and find out there was acid on the table. Experiments may be tough IF you don't follow the rules, step by step.

PE 6 grade 1st quarter

In this quarter we worked on

1. Frisbee
2. soccer 
3. gymnastic

     The work that I did in this quarter was very good.  I frisbee I did well on long passes, fast passes and more.  In soccer I learned how to pass with my bad foot and kick.  I was a communicator when I had to pass the ball or when I wanted the ball.   Last but not least I worked on gymnastic (last).  I was a risk taker and a hard worker when I had to do things a never thought I could do. Example: Cart wheels, back row.  All of the activities were fun.  It was a great start.

Beyond the Solar System

          The book I read about the Solar System was vey fun.  O felt I was up in the sky with those amazing images.  They were very inspiring. I would recommend this book for people that like space and new things you can find in space with only the Hubble telescope.  The book contained history of, who invented telescopes.  Galaxy and milky ways.  Clusters, galaxy clouds.  Also if you look straight up it may tell us something.  Dwarves planets, super explosions, black holes, etc.  It was very good YOU SHOULD READ IT!!!

This is a black hole.

Reflection on my first math test in 6th grade. part 2

           When I got my test back, I evaluated it.  When I looked and went through the pages.  I saw that I did well on adding, times, dividing and on the, If Derek takes 6 minutes to build on part of the fence how much would it take to get 10 done.  Also I did bad on the 7th number in the triangle.  I think this means I get a 3.5 around.  I got a little more than half write.  I think overall the test was fun and at the same time easy and hard.  the test had challenging but also fun.

Reflection on test

          The test was kind of easy in the first part.  However the second part was harder  and the last was very very hard.  1-4 wasn't hard 5-6 was harder and 7 was vert hard.  I think over all I did a good job and it was fun.  Some were harder then others and some easier then others.  I had to skip some questions also after I went back to the writing.  I had fun doing the test.  With the marker and the desk I worked problems out there.

Chemical W

     Chemical w is unknown because it was different.  Also  it is unknown because its color its smell everything is different.  When I observed It was way different that I tough it was going to be.  I thought it was transparent because or we didn't put anything or pure water.  It could have been a substance that was different then chemical z,x etc.  The unknown chemical also , I noticed it had a different smell like if there was a different substance in that made it transparent.  The other colors looked blue green.  I dont know how?
