Final Blog

1. Applied English/Biology was different in that it was a more project based class.
2. I think that in this class we learned more because of the more projects we did.
3. The best part of this class were doing the projects, but the worst part was relying on your group leader to hand in the assignment, which brought everyone in the groups mark down.
4. It was a great class it's just people need to get on it and hand in their stuff.
5. Hand in everything on time and make sure it's finished.

Learning outcomes for Sustainability

I have learned so much, like being able to grow crops in a fish tank, and that not everyone has food security. We are so lucky to have food security, and different stakeholders are affected by everything that happens within the food systems. The changes in technology is so fascinating, and technology is improving the production of food, like aquaponics. Some inventions are trying to conserve the amount of water being used, for more sustainability, when there is 9 billion people.

Bio blog

In biology we have started our microbiology unit. We started by collecting soil, to look at the bacteria in it. We also went around the school to see how much bacteria are around the school, like door handles, and hand rails on the stairs. We looked at bacteria from our nose, ear, and tongue. There was only one colony of bacteria for the ear, because Kael had cleaned his ear out that day. But there was lots of bacteria for the nose, and the tongue. At the beginning of the unit a petri dish was passed around and we all touched it and lots of bacteria was on it, despite washing our hands twice.

Lord of the Flies-Book Response

If I were on the island with the boys, I would help in every way possible, building shelters, finding food, and making a fire. I would align myself with Ralph, because he wants to be rescued and to save as many boys as he can. I would do my best to interact with everyone I can, because they have family who love them and want to see them again.

A Bully's Future, From Hard Life to Hard Time

I don't think bullying is a big issue at CSS, I feel like everybody hangs out with their own group and do their own things. I am sure there is bullying at our school but I haven't noticed. People will talk about other people negatively, and someone in that group should stop the conversation. I think bullying is pointless, everybody is different.

Bio update

This week in biology we did presentations on our evolutionary projects. We have started our microbiology unit. We did a worksheet on what is living and characteristics of living things. Now we are studying viruses and how they effect the cells in your body. Tomorrow we have to bring soil to class to study the bacteria in the soil.

Lord of the Flies book response

My thoughts on lord of the flies is, it is a slow book, and i don't get why it is the most popular. The boys are going nuts and the only one trying or thinking of being rescued is Ralph. Even Jack is going nuts because he wants meat, and he is like second in command. Piggy could be a leader because he is smart but all the other boys don not like him. The conflict in the book might be real in some places of the world, maybe that's why he got the nobel prize.
