Science: Sugar
In science class we have been experimenting with sugar. We learned about different kinds of sugar and what they are called. We split up into groups and decided to make different types of candy. One group made gummies, one made fudge, my group made Soda Syrup, and the last group is going to make taffy. We haven’t tasted the gummies yet but the fudge didn’t turn out too well. The seventh...
Mock Trial Reflection
Last week the 7th and 8th grade had mock trials. We also did mock trials last year but they were very scripted. This year we were paired up with a partner on either the prosecution or the defense, each person had to write either the opening or closing statement and examine two witnesses. I was paired with Sherif, and I wrote the opening statement. It was fun because we got to write the whole thing...

Debate Reflection
The eighth grade is doing debates about once a week now in class. We started doing debates/discussions because we are done with projects for the year because the rest of our weeks are going to be filled with interruptions like mock trial and drug education.
Our first debate was about capital punishment. I was opposed because I am disturbed that someone can be sentenced to death. The first...
Great Artist Reflection
This was my last Great Artists. I enjoyed it. Great Artists went very well this year. I was happy that we got to choose our own artist, just for ourselves because usually everybody wants to do different artists and then it would take us weeks just to decide who our artist was going to be. Also because I did the kind of art that I wanted and didn’t have to compromise. As far as working hard I...

Humanities Reflection
In humanities we finished our last project. This one was shorter, only two weeks and this time nobody wanted to work in a group. Most people had trouble with the shorter deadline and had to push the due date back a little bit.
My last Humanities project was about Inflation and Deflation. I studied for a couple days then made a power point presentation and created a simulation of a small...

Great Artists
Piet Mondrian was a Dutch Painter. He was born on March seventh of 1872 and died February 1, 1944 at age 71 of pneumonia. He was an impressionist then became an abstract artist. He created a non-representational art style called Neo-Plasticism. The paintings were grids on white backgrounds with primary colored squares.
From 1892 to 1897, he took painting classes at the Amsterdam Rijksacademie,...

Science
In Science class we are learning about chromatography. We used chromatography to solve a fake crime, the robbery of the Buttery Money Bank. In class we were presented with a scenario. We were detectives at a bank robbery scene. The police in the bank told us that the robbers slipped the bank tellers a note that said to put all of the money in the bag. The teller set of the silent alarm and...

Science: Cooking
In science class we are studying chemistry. We decided to do a bit of cooking to learn about chemistry in cooking. This week was more of an experimental time and we were still figuring it out. The day before the cooking day we went shopping. All four of the groups had a list and filled canvas bags with all the ingredients needed. On Thursday we were in the science lab cooking all day. One group...
Humanities Reflection
During this project I learned a lot. I felt like this project needed to make up for my last one which was not so good. I set some goals for my self and I think that helped me do better. If someone asked me a question about WW2 I could probably answer it. That was one of my goals. I also think that I worked hard on this project because my last one was too easy and I ended up not getting much out of...
Ode to the Baseball
Spinning spinning round and round
Smashing and bashing into the ground
Thrown back and forth, then up in the air
Landing on people, concrete, and chairs
Struck over and over again
Always hoping and hoping for rain
Hit over dirt, grass and walls
No one ever thinks about the poor, poor baseball
World War Two
World War 2 began on September 1, 1939, the day that Germany invaded Poland. Two days later, on September 2, Britain and France declared war on Germany. Although the official start of World War 2 was in 1939, many other countries like Japan, had already been in multiple wars such as the second Sino-Japanese War.
Before 1939, Adolf Hitler was building up the Nazi political party. He...

Don't fear death by Aleksandr Blok
Don’t fear death in earthly travels. Don’t fear enemies or friends. Just listen to the words of prayers, To pass the facets of the dreads. Your death will come to you, and never You shall be, else, a slave of life, Just waiting for a dawn’s favor, From nights of poverty and strife. She’ll build with you a common law, One will of the Eternal Reign. And you are not...
Pairs of Shoes My future lives come to me in dreams Come silently with torn soles. I am like a skilled shoemaker Greeting the wandering breath of these feet. These dreams-my other selves Sprawl out to sleep like a litter of puppies, Pinches of ashy fur standing up in tufts Their young hair like hens fluffed feathers They lie on their stomachs, pressing against my shadow. Pairs of shoes...

Poem
There were saddened hearts in mudville for a week or even more;
There were muttered oaths and curses — every fan in town was sore.
“Just think,” said one, “how soft it looked with Casey at the bat!
And then to think he’d go and spring a bush-league trick like that.”
All his past fame was forgotten; he was now a hopeless “shine.”
They called...

Horrace Fisher
Once there was a fisherman. His name was Horrace Fisher. On the Island he lived on, your last name is your job. He had a few friends whose names where, Gail Gametester, Kyle Car-Seller, Johnny Cashier, Isaac Insurance-Man, Fredie Five-Oh, Danny Doctor, and Justin Style.
Horrace was a very skilled fisherman. He could catch a shark using his bare hands. Early in the mornings before it was...

Rube Goldberg Reflection
In science class we made Rube Goldberg machines during our physics unit. We were looking at mechanical advantage and simple machines. We chose the groups randomly and I wasn’t very excited when I saw my group. I was put in a group with David and John. We started off pretty slow I was doing almost everything during the planning phase. I did not have that great of an idea to begin with (smashing an...

For our humanaties project, David, Sydney, Sofia, and I decided to hold an election. We pretended we were running for president in the 2012 election. Sofia and I were Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and Sydney and David were Sarah Palin and Ron Paul. In the beginning of this project the class decided that everybody should be in a group with people that they are not usually in a group with. My...

Tower of New Life
This is a short story I wrote for Humanities.
Once there was a tower, it was called The Tower of New Life. It was an interesting looking tower. The walls curved outward. As if bubbles had been stacked on top of each other and they got squeezed together so that in between the bubbles there was a floor. The building had five floors. There were windows on every floor in the middle of the wall....

Science: Physics Experiment 2
In Science class we are studying physics and right now we are looking at Newtons three laws and speed. All of us chose cars to put on a track and time. I looked at the cars that we brought in and guessed which one was the fastest. I chose the smallest car because I thought that it would have the least resistance. I pretty much ignored the fact that if something heavy gets going it is harder to...
Why Does Time Move Faster as You Get Older? →
Rob posted about this article that was on an NPR station I listen to sometimes called All Things Considered. It talks about how the brain works and how when you do something for the first time it feels like it took longer than it does for you to do it again. So something that you do everyday like driving to school or work will seem like it takes no time at all eventually.

Last week our class went to San Fransico for our school trip. Most schools go to a camp in the wilderness for a week but we decided to go on an urban adventure. We have done wilderness camps in the past, and some of us liked them. But a few people do not enjoy them very much.
I liked the fact that we decided not to go to a camp where your whole day is planned out for you. I think it was good...
