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.

Am I really a Global Peace Maker?

Hello all! It's been quite some time since I last made a blog post. First I wish you all a wonderful Merry Christmas, and an amazing new year! This term, I was in a class called Global peace, this term we focused on methods that would and should bring attention to issues in our community, in nonviolent ways. Global peace also focused on the Gandhian principles of truth, nonviolence, Sarvadoya, and Satyagraha. In Global Peace, we went on some inspiring FEs like the neighborhood walk. On this FE we got to walk through two different neighborhoods and observe the differences between them. For this AP I had to make a plan to combat an issue, I chose gun violence, and the purpose of this is to promote a sense that we are all welcome, and we can all live in a community without violence. The purpose is also to show that we are on a united front to stand against gun violence. I hope you enjoy my slide show, and I hope it will help you understand why gun violence is a prevalent issue in all...

Walters impulsions

In this drama unit, we focused on defining the concept of a "matriarch" and explored its role in perpetuating inequality. We read  A Raisin in the Sun  by Lorraine Hansberry, which tells the story of a Black family struggling to improve their lives in 1950s Chicago after receiving a $10,000 insurance check. Alongside our reading, we visited the Goodman Theater, where Kelsey introduced us to various archetypes of Black women in theater. While reading the play, I found myself resonating with Ruth, especially as her husband Walter faced significant challenges. Walter’s grave mistake stemmed from the immense pressure he felt to provide for his family, as he assumed the role of the head of the household. Living with strong, independent women who often belittled him contributed to his struggles. My engagement with Walter's character allowed me to glean valuable insights about his humanity and motivations. The turning point for Walter came when he grappled with the weight of his...
