Expiation Jupiter Reflection

Hi everyone, today I’m going to tell you about what I improved on when I was making my innovation day project called Expedition Jupiter!

When I started my innovation day project I was really stressed, I didn’t know what to do. I thought I wouldn’t finish in time or wouldn’t do well. When the time came to paint Expedition Jupiter I thought it would be so hard and take a lot of time but when i did it it wasn’t hard at all. That is when I realized I was over exaggerating and stressing over nothing. I was still stressed but the more I got through the project the less stressed I was. After this experience I know in future projects to try to not stress too much because it actually makes it harder to work.

 

Here Are Some Images Of My Project!!!!!!!

First Term Of Social Studies!

This term in Social Studies we learned about Canadian identity. We explored diversity among the provinces, national symbols, and international organizations that Canada plays a role in.

What makes Canada diverse?

Two things that make Canada diverse are that we have all 4 seasons and we are connected to oceans.

What are some symbols you imagine when you think of Canada?

These are some Canadian symbols that come to mind when you think of Canada.

Canada is Diverse

In Social Studies, we have been learning about what makes Canada diverse. This assignment shows the importance of diversity within Canada. 

Here is my assignment:

Canada is a diverse nation. The benefits of being different are that when different people are good at different things and when people do different jobs, our community functions. Plus being the same is boring. Diversity can positively impact a community because we get what we need to get done and when other provinces have different resources and you don’t have the same things as them you could trade so everyone gets what they need. And trading can earn you trust and that means you will be in less wars so it’s important that every country has different resources.

We have lots of nature and a city. We have all 4 seasons and we are connected to oceans.  We all have different resources and cultures and there are time changes. Not  all countries have all 4 seasons. People speak different languages depending on where they are from. Two completely different provinces Quebec and BC have lots of differences. One major difference is that Quebec is fluent in French and BC is fluent in English. Another difference is that they have different weather and landscape. Quebec is quite flat and the mountains are spread out, while in BC the mountains are packed together. A final difference is that Quebec is much bigger than BC.

The temperature and weather is different depending on where you are. Different provinces have their own natural resources and habitat. BC has outstanding natural beauty, one of them is a section of the Canadian rocky mountains. This is different to Quebec because Quebec has the St. Lawrence Lowlands. The St. Lawrence Lowlands are a lot of rivers and wetlands near the St. Lawrence River.

In BC one main site is Vancouver with the population of  631,486 people making Vancouver the biggest city in BC. There is also Greenwood with a population of 665 people making Greenwood the smallest city in BC. In Quebec, Montreal is the largest city with a population of 1,762,949 people. A famous landmark in BC is the Lions Gate Bridge. Its outstanding historic buildings include Waterfront Station, Hotel Vancouver and the Marine Buildings. A famous landmark in Quebec is Place Royale. Place Royale  is an original stone plaza where people still meet to this day.

BC and Quebec have different climates. BC has a lot of wind that comes from the Atlantic ocean. BC summers are cool, wet and short. Quebec Has extreme hot and cold weather. Sometimes the weather in Quebec can be very severe.

In BC people are driven by a healthy population and tourism. The service sector plays a ginormous job in the region’s economy. Other important jobs include fishing, farming, construction,  and film and television.

In Quebec, important jobs include retail (clothing stores) and Healthcare.

Canada is a bilingual country. In Quebec, people speak mostly French. People who speak only French are called francophone and in the rest of Canada people mostly speak English. 

That’s why I think Canada is a diverse nation!

Grade 5 Innovation day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! Today I’m going to tell you a little bit about my Innovation day project in grade 5.  For my project I made a wind turbine that powers a light in a park!

This is my information on my poster board about how a wind turbine makes electricity!

How do wind turbines make electricity? Well It starts by the wind slowly turning the turbine blades. In the main housing, called the nacelle, there are a lot of components for stability and direction. But the key components of a common configuration of wind turbine are the Drive Shaft, Gearbox and Generator. The force of the wind that turns the blades turns the drive shaft. The drive shaft has a large gear in the gear box that turns a smaller one, because the second gear is smaller it turns faster, fast enough to make electricity. That second gear turns a rotor, this rotates inside a drum of wire coils called a stator. The rotor excites the electrons in the stator, creating an electrical current. This process works exactly like the alternator in your car. The current travels down a cable inside the tower and into a transformer at the bottom where it is converted to a higher voltage for long distance travel.

 

And this is my wind power information on my poster!

Anything that moves around has a type of energy called kinetic energy. Wind is air moving around therefore wind is a type of kinetic energy.

 

Wind power is harnessed by a machine which is called a wind turbine. Wind turbines are tall towers, topped with blades. These blades are connected to a vertical shaft, or rod. When the force of the wind causes the blades to spin, they turn the shaft.Turning the shaft provides power to a machine called a generator, which will produce electricity.

 

 One of the bad things about wind turbines is that birds and bats can be injured or killed if they are hit by turbine blades. These deaths may contribute to declines in the population of species also affected by other human-related impacts. Otherwise wind is a great clean energy source that doesn’t hurt the environment.

Scientists in the school reflection

Hi! today I’m going to share my Scientists in the school reflection!

A Scientist came digitally to my school to help my class do a science experiment. We were doing the Science experiment on States of matter. The main goal of the session was to learn about States of matter and we where tiring to figure out what this mystery powder was. In the experiment we mixed powders with water some examples are Epsom salt, baking soda and flower. I learned a lot about Sates of Matter and how to use different powders to fined out what another powder is. I think my favorite part was when we mixed some different powders and water in a cup and some foam over filed the cup. My least favorite part was cleaning up!

Persuasive letter for NO HOMEWORK!!!!!

Hi! today I’m going to share my persuasive letter to my teacher for why we should have no homework!

Dear Miss. Abby, 

It is so not fair after school we have to do more work, when we will ever be able to play. Hi Miss. Abby this letter is going  to explain why we should have no homework! My three main points are homework creates stress, after school we need a break from learning and there are better things we can do with our time. So let’s get started! 

My first point is that homework creates stress. When kids get homework they get stressed because they think they won’t finish in time or that it is too hard. The problem is when anyone gets stressed they can feel sick often it would be a stomach ache. Do you want us to feel sick?

My second point is that with no homework we can have a break from learning. If you do too much work at a time, you start to get tired then we can’t do our best work and if we do the homework wrong because of this you will give easier work we don’t need. Do you want to see what level we are at then give us no homework!!!!!!!

My last point is that we have better things to do with our time. If you get a lot of homework and you need to do it and you think about playing outside instead, which is better for you to do sitting and doing work or playing and getting exercise, I think it is better to go outside so we get exercise and have fun then doing work that might not help us. Don’t you want what is best for us?

I think we should not have homework because we don’t get stressed, so we can have a break from learning and we can do better things with our time. WE NEED NO HOMEWORK.

From,

Rachel

Rock Cycle!

Hi! today I’m going to share with you my Rock Cycle blog with a cave with the rocks from the cycle. This science was self directed this mean I chose what I did and made my own learning goal. Here is a picture of my planning sheet!

What is the Rock Cycle!

When magma comes up from a volcano later when the magma  gets cooled by the air, it turns into igneous rock. Wind and other natural forces make igneous rock turn into very small rocks. When the little pieces of rock get washed away by water, all of the parts will form sedimentary rocks. Some of those sedimentary rocks get pushed down by the atomic plates and become metamorphic rocks. As metamorphic rocks get pushed down even deeper, it turns into magma which starts the whole cycle all over again.

 

Here is a video of me explaining wats in the cave I made!

 

 

 

conclusion!

 

I did not like planning my project or doing research but I did enjoy making my cave!

Public speaking reflection!

Hi! Today I’m going to show you my public speaking refection on why kids should have more resess!

What I found challenging and what I didn’t enjoy!

What I found challenging about public speaking was not saying it but I was nervous when I said my speech. I was nervous because I was stressed on how good I would do saying my speech. what I didn’t enjoy doing was the research of my speech. What was hard to search up was dose reses help kids focus when the come back to class. To me this was hard because there was so much information on one website . because of this it was hard to find the best fakes that I understood and that would make sense to the rest of my class .

 

What I found easy and what I did enjoy!

 

What I found easy was practicing my speech. This might be confusing because I said the most challenging thing I did was saying the speech. The thing is it was hard saying it in front of my class, but when I was practicing my speech it was easy because it was just me and one other person. What I enjoyed was choosing what my speech was about. To me this was fun because I got to choose any topic I wanted. But most importantly was I could do my topic about something I care about.

 

What I would do differently next time!

 

Next time I will work more on writing my speech and making it as good as it can be. I felt I practiced the delivery part just right and would do that again next time.
