Final Blog

This blog will be a little diffrent becasue it is the last blog of the year in 7th grade. I will be continuing it next year in 8th grade. Before I really get into this, I would like to thank my parents and the school. This year had really been a good year, and it has really helped me put a jumpstart to my future. We took a highschool math 1 EOC and I passed so I will have credit for that in   highschool. Also I will get credit for Earth and Environmental because it is a highschool course too. I got and A on that final so I have credit for that. Also just overall the school and environment has helped and supported me incredibly. I have one more year at this amazing school and then I will be off to highschool. I would also like to give a giant thanks and shoutout to Mrs.Giacomelli. She has been more than just a techer to me and has helped me through a lot, she is very supportive and I truly love her. Unfortunalty, next year will be our last year together and I will be sad that I will not be able to see her very often. She is also an amazing teacher, her classes are never boring and she somehow makes everything fun. I probably could write a novel about her and talk about how amazing she is. Anyways, the final was not extremely hard and I got a 97 on it. I am happy with that and I screwed up on 3 questions that I knew but I didn't know it at the testing time. The final was 100 mulitlpe choice questions and the questions were not very hard. This year we did many labs, but I really like 2, they are the earthquake jello lab and the cookie bake-off lab. The eathquake jello lab very fun to watch and it was a good demonstration of what earthquakes do. The cookie bake-off lab was very interactive and I learned more about independent and dependent variables. This lab was the most fun. This year I have leanrned so much, including Science Olympiad. I have learned and taken in a lot this year. I still will try to remember all of the things I learned later in my life. I cannot possible put everthing that I learned in words. My thoughts on science changed this year by making me even more interested in it. I love learning science and honestly, it is my favortie subject. I think that each year my interest and love in learning science grows. Next year I am looking forward to learnig biology. I heard that we will be disecting things and I like to be interactive with the things that I learn. I could improve on being a little more organized. I think that if everyhting goes smoothly, then I will be fine. My goals for next year is to be more have better grades. This year I had decent grades but I could still do better. Some advice that I would give to future students who take E and E are that to make sure that you pay attention. The content will not be complicated if you really understand it. I recommend that you always ask questions. The teachers are always there for you, espcially Mrs.G. This year was my best year at WAAS I think. I really enjoy coming to Mrs.G's class and the others. I will continue my blog next year!

Weekly Blog

Monday:Today I was tired like I usually am, but today I was even more tired than last Monday.We started the class off with a fill in the blank science starter that was about the renewable and nonrenewable resources. After that, Mr.Spike, a Science Olympiad coach who teaches astronomy, gave us a crash course about Mercury. He brought and telescope because today is a very special day. Mercury is in between Earth and the sun and we could see it. Today was pretty interesting because we got to see Mercury through a "high-tech" telescope. 

Tuesday:No blog today because we didn't have class. 

Wednesday:Today we started class with a daily science starter. It was all the way back to unit 1. The question was about labeling tables. Then we started the a new review sheet. It was about drawing or using Oreos to demonstrate moon phases. This was pretty fun because my partner and I decided that we would just draw it and have the Oreos by itself. Fortunalty, my partner doesn't like Oreos so I got 8 to myself! This was good. I got all the questions right on the review sheet so I feel pretty good about the quiz. For the rest of class I blogged and Mrs.G asked us review questions. Today was a good day. 

Thursday:Today we took the quiz. We didn't have a science starter because Mrs.G wanted to give us ample time to finish the quiz. I think I might've screwed up and some questions and I forgot about one thing. So I am not really sure how I did, but I hope that it isn't a bad grade. That was all that we did today. 

Friday: No blog today. 

Improvements:I could improve on my studying skills and paying attention to the notes. This is all that I think that I should improve on.

Monday: Today I was so tired. I did not get a good sleep last night and stayed up late. Anyways, today we started with a little joke and then we did a science starter. The science starter was about fossil fuels and it was pretty easy. After that we took some notes on our new unit, unit 10. It is all about space! We took notes on 3 slides. We are going to be quizzed only on section 1. Then we have the finals! I can't believe that there are only about 3 weeks left. After we took notes, then we started a planet activity. We filled out a little table that had general information about the planets. Today was a regular boring Monday.

Tuesday:Fortunalty today I was a little more awake. We started the class with the usual science starter but instead of answering a question, we did a Kahoot. This had 20 questions and it was about general space information. This was pretty fun. After that we finished section 1 of notes and we got one slide of section 2 done. These notes were a little boring. Then we got into our groups and started our Space lab. We got most of the information down on the paper. Then it was time to go. Today's class wasn't bad. 

Wednesday:We started science class off the Kahoot. We did a different set, it was fun. I like doing Kahoots for science starters. After that we took notes on 3 new slides of section 2. It was about principles and rules. I think that this was little boring. After that we got into our groups for the lab. My group, James A, Ben, and I finished everything except for a questions on the lab sheet.This was pretty fun and all I have to do is finish the questions and some multiple choice questions. I liked this lab, it was interesting. That was really all we did today.  

Thursday:Today wasn't a bad day. We started with an unrelated science starter. We did a kahoot about Star Wars. It was pretty fun. After that we took notes and they were more about the items in space. Today's notes were actually pretty interesting and I wasn't that bored. After we did that I finished the Space lab, all that I had left to do were some questions. I feel pretty good about this lab and I liked this lab, I like making the model and when we placed the balls on the paper. I had 30 minutes left in class left so I just blogged and did some homework. Science class today was ok. 

Friday:Mrs.G wasn't here so no blogging for today.

Improvents:I could improve on my sleep. I find myself pretty tired and I think that if I get a better sleep then I can focus better. That is all that I think that I can do better at in science class.
