 Welcome to my blog, In this unit in "Fuel," we were discovering batteries, now even though the unit was only one week long we still learned quite a few things about batteries. From electrodes to electrolytes, from electric cranes to tesla power walls. We covered it all. I changed my experiment quite a few times. I still got it done though, let's take a look into the journey of a battery! So for staters we watched Will, destroy a pencil sharpener (Cool right!) to see the motor on the inside. Once we opened the magnet we discovered that there was a copper coil, and 2 big magnets creating electricity to make the motor work! Will then, showed us what electrolytes were. We were given the challenge of creating a battery use two types of metals, and 2 electrolytes. At first, I was going to use, coconut water, then I changed my mind and decided to use salted coconut water! That was for my first attempt though, for my second attempt. I used salted vinegar, this came out amazing!

 Welcome to my blog, This semester in "Who am I", we've been thinking about what makes us unique and how can we relate to others. We started to research the Ojibwe people. Once we started researching them, we started to look into things that make their people unique. We went on several FEs to dig deeper into risk, doubts, and dreams, from learning Ju-Jitsu to talking to a personal financial planner. We learned not only, physical safety, but also learned financial safety. We also learned about the “Freud theory” which is comprised of three parts. The id generally works unknowingly according to the pleasure principle. The ego operates according to the reality principle within the conscious area. A super-ego that functions on the basis of moral principles at all levels. According to the “ Great spider story”, dreamcatcher gets rid of bad dreams and allows good thoughts in our heads only when we are asleep. The little hope in the middle of the dream catcher is where good dre

Welcome to my blog, This semester we've been working on fossil fuels and renewable energy. We've been trying to get to the root of what makes a specific fuel better than the other.  In this AP we were given the task of trying to convince someone to switch to renewable energy. I chose geothermal energy. The reason is, it's safer, it's cooler, it awesome, and Kamala Harris is a big advocate for geothermal energy.  Wanna know why you should choose geothermal energy? It has great advantages to it. It's clean, by clean I mean no carbon emissions, no destruction, or deforestation to build a power plant, all you need is a big back year and couple thousand dollars.  It's also very low maintenance, all it needs is a technician to come and check it once every 9 months for servicing.  The US is leading in the geothermal power industry, but they’re quite a few geothermal plants all over the world including The geysers geothermal complex in California, the Darajat power sta

  Welcome to my blog,  This semester we've been looking into what makes us us. Now, quite frankly the story of WHO I am is long and tedious.  Growing up, you hear tales of “Women and Men,” “Romeo and Juliet”, but you never hear stories about same-sex couples. Misogyny and homophobia have plagued our country. I believe that all men ARE created EQUAL: our founding fathers wrote these words with good intention. Whether they meant all men were created equal or not, they started a firestorm for centuries to come. I believe in a fair and equal society, where no matter the color of your skin, your sexual orientation, your religious beliefs, you are welcome. You are loved. You are free. Most of all, you are the future. For a while, I struggled with how an individual's identity shapes them.  In 8th grade, my ELA teacher started a class discussion by posing the question, “What makes you, you?”  This is my first year at GCE and I have been reflecting on what has made me me.  When I start

 Hello, Welcome to my blog, my name is LJ of course. In this unit, we worked on looking at a country's fossil fuel output and input, so many countries use so much fossil fuels it's crazy! We had to make a slideshow about a country of choice and a fossil fuel, I chose India and the fossil fuel and I chose Coal.  India had a huge coal shortage in December of 2021. It was detrimental   More than half of the country's 135 coal-fired power plants are running on fumes - as coal stocks run critically low. In a country where 70% of the electricity is generated using coal, this is a major cause for concern as it threatens to derail India's pandemic economic recovery. India is a very coal dependent country, with the sudden sharp and steep decline of coal, the country is look at an all out full scale blackout. My fuel is Coal This coal is primarily used to generate electricity at 135 coal-based power plants. This fuel is nonrenewable because it takes millions of years to form. in
