The Start of 8th grade blog (Unit 1)

Last Friday, we finished unit 1 in 8th grade. Unit 1 was mostly a review of general science and  mostly safety. We took the test last Friday. The first day was great, it was fun to get back into science and get my mind turning. My most favorite activity that Mrs.G demonstrated in science was dumping liquid nitrogen in hot water. This was cool because it created a big cloud. This year, I will be getting back into Science Olympiad and I will be doing 2 events. One of the reasons I want to do Science Olympiad again is because it will show up on my record for high school. One of my goals is to do very well in my events and feel accomplished and not really worry about the results. Some of my goals for this year is to learn more about science and get even better grades than last year.

I want to leave the school feeling accomplished and ready for high school, also I want to know that I left the school that I tried the best that I could.  Since science is the subject that I am most interested in, I want to leave strong. I like the experiments that we did in all of the years, I never really did not like a science a class or any activity that we did. I want to achieve good results in every subject that I do.It will be sad to leave the school and especially Mrs.G's science class, her class are amazing and interactive. I have had so much fun in 6th and 7th grade in her classes. WAAS has great teachers, they don't have the attitude of "it just another day at work".  They support the students and they help out.  I think that they are engaged in the class and they work really hard for us to learn.

The beginning of this year flew by for me, the first week was already two weeks ago. I hope that this year will be fun. I want this year to really prepare me for high school and I hope it does. This is my first blog of 8th grade! I want to do well in Science Olympiad, last year we had an issue with one of my events, but I hope this year will be better. I want to try my hardest and achieve my personal goals. I hope that I can leave feeling accomplished and like I did my best because last year I felt like I could have done better and the whole situation could have been less stressful.

My summer was really enjoying, my mom and I went to the Philippines to see my cousins and grandma. This was really exciting because I got to see most of my family and it was relaxing to go to a beach resort. After that, we took a family vacation to Hawaii. I liked it so much, I got a nice tan and this is where I really got to relax on the beach.We went to Oahu, Maui, the main island, and Molokai. I think that Maui was the best out of all, we went snorkeling and went up to the active volcano.

 This was the bubble lab, it was the second lab that we did, I liked this lab because it was fun and interactive. I had fun blowing bubbles on the table.

This was on the first day of school. Mrs.G mixed liquid nitrogen with hot water. I thought this was cool because it made a big cloud.
