Battieries say whaaaaa?

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! Smelly, but amazing.

The procedure was simple, get our electrolytes (Salted coconut water & vinegar) and put them into a bowl one at a time of course, from there I then waited and started writing about the procedure we were doing. Once it was my time to use the Multimeter (used to measure electrical currents) I got some not-so-shocking results. I was aiming for.400 volts, and I ended up only getting just under .300 volts. I belive that if we were to link all the batteries in the class together we'd be able to power a small lightbuld!

The results from my Multimeter.

I part with saying this, we are all inventers, its up to us to make the change we want in this world. Our generation, is the next Elon Musk, and Jeffory Bezos. All it takes is a little energerning and a little elbow grease which I know that we all have, to invent something so revolutanry, it'll change the world. So to all those little Elon's and the little Kamala's Harris' you too can be the future, do what need to be done to revoltunize the world.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Sincerly,

LJ.

Redefining Queenship: Gender, Power, and Ambition in Shakespeare's Macbeth

Welcome to my blog, In our first Drama unit, we tackled the question, "How do we respond to gender norms and stereotypes?" To explore this, we dove into the works of William Shakespeare, examining how theater can inspire social change. We focused on Macbeth , using the play as a lens to question traditional gender roles and the evolving concept of what it means to be a queen. This was the perfect foundation for the unit, letting us dig deeper into our own ideas of strength and duty. To me, a queen is someone who puts her role before herself, making difficult choices—even ones that might be considered morally complex. While we didn’t have many field trips, we had inspiring guest speakers. Regina Taylor, known for her role as Michelle Obama's mother in The First Lady and her work in Lovecraft Country , shared her insights on how storytelling can bridge divides of race, gender, and class. She likened the influence of media to the civil rights movem...

How deep do your values go?

Welcome to my first AP of the term in Forbidden Books . This class, as the name states, is about censored/banned books and literature. We will dig deeper into understanding the reasons why books and texts were banned. We have had the opportunity to start the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, which was banned in the United States, South Africa, and multiple school districts around the US. For the first portion of this unit, we learned about a Socratic seminar and the "Socratic method." The Socratic method is a form of teaching and learning that involves asking questions instead of providing answers. It is a method of discussion, often used in philosophy and critical thinking. The goal of the Socratic method is to encourage critical thinking and understanding by asking questions that challenge assumptions and lead to deeper understanding. For this Action Project, we had to have two people: Person one (Joe Walters) plays as Socrates, the questioner, and the second pers...

Santiago De Compostela

Welcome to my blog! In this unit of Spanish, our goal was to create a culturally immersive matching game. We gathered images of local currency from a Spanish-speaking country, focused on Santiago de Compostela in Spain, and used vocabulary related to clothing, places, and actions. This project combined visuals of local life with grammar concepts we had been studying, like the present tense and present progressive, allowing us to practice verbs, pronouns, and real-life expressions. Working on the game was an adventure in itself! I explored clothing terms, places like churches, banks, and libraries, and action verbs tied to everyday routines. Selecting images to match each term felt overwhelming at first because I can be indecisive, but I’m proud of how it turned out. The game reflects a mix of cultural and language learning that I hope you’ll enjoy! My Spanish 2 Flashcards - Santiago de Compostela L.M.W Spanish 2 flash cards 2023 ...
