The Changing of Dogs.

This is an action project for mt core class POPULATION. In this project, we have been learning the difference between mutation, natural selection, variation, and evolution. A mutation is the changing of the organism on a more cellular level. Natural selection is like the survival of the fittest where the organism with the most favorable traits will be the ones to most likely survive. Variation is the change in certain genes making the organism different from the others. Evolution is the change of something for the benefit of the organism. We have been trying to incorporate this into the real world and how it can affect the animals we know today. Below is a poster showing my project and how dogs will change in the future. We have also been learning about the mean, median, and mode along with the first quartile, third quartile, and the IQR. In the poster below, I have the weight and height of each of my dogs.

In conclusion, I think that the dogs that I chose will eventually learn to adapt to the new environment. I believe that the dogs will evolve and mutate to better suit their new environment. I think that they will be medium-sized dogs with a thick jacket of fur. I also think that they will have big ears and longer legs to navigate through the rubber bands on the island. I found it interesting to be able to learn the different types of change in organisms. I found it difficult to make a representation of my chosen organisms. I was able to overcome this by taking it and molding it to the best of my ability.

Cardboard Camera?

This is an Action Project for my core class Light, Sound, and Time. During this Unit, we learned all about light and how it works. We also learned about how light is a part of the visible spectrum. This is a spectrum that shows the types of waves/rays that are on earth. The visible spectrum is also how we see colors. This has also helped us better understand what light is and how we use it to take pictures. For example, when you take a picture using a camera, light is used to leave a image captured onto a surface. For this project, I was tasked with making a camera from a tissue box. The camera I made is called a Camera Obscura. This camera takes light and through a little hole pastes the image onto a piece of parchment paper inside of the camera. As you can see below, those photos were taken from inside the camera when held up to a light. It also shows what the camera looks like and how it turned how after creating it.

What is a Hysterectomy?

Welcome to my blog. This is an Action Project for my core class Cure. In this unit, we have been at home talking about cells, what they are, and what they are made up of. We have also taken the time to look at different types of surgeries. Also, we had two special FE guests join us through Zoom and teach us about themselves and what they know to help us get a clearer understanding. The two guests who joined us were Dr. Neeraj Jain and Kellee Athens. For this assignment, we were tasked with interviewing someone who has had any surgery performed on them. For the interview, I chose to interview someone about the surgery they had done. The surgery that was performed was a Hysterectomy which is the removal of the uterus. I have put together a slideshow below explaining all of the risk factors, side effects, and much more detail on how the surgery is performed. "No dietary restrictions. I was super groggy and just slept a lot. I was in the hospital for 1 or 2 days. It took me a week to ...

Should I Have the Right to Renovate my Own Building Without a Permit?

This is an action project or my core class A Nation's Argument. This unit was all about the constitution and its amendments. This led to some interesting conversations about which amendments are important and which aren't as important. For example, the third amendment has been ruled as not important because when would a soldier actually come and sleep in your own house. Another argument was how are these amendments related to the problems in the world today? which problems work against the amendments? In unit 1 we visited 1770 and talked about the thesis that "all men are created equal." In unit 2, we visited 1850 and talked about the antithesis of "all men are created equal." For this action project, I was tasked with finding a rule in the city municipal code that I believe is unjust. I chose the rule of needing a permit to renovate the inside of the building you own. "A building permit is required for now building construction, renovations, the inst...
