Innovation Day Reflection

Hello my name is Micah and I am doing a reflection on my innovation day project with my friend Matthew. This project was about electricity circuits. Our project was called drop down bowling. You would basically roll a clay ball and try to get it in the hole to complete the circuit from all the wires connecting into a tissue box with the battery holder.

 

 

Before we started presenting, I felt a bit nervous because I really wanted to do well, but I felt confident that our project was a good one. We ended up achieving 82%. I was happy with that mark, however, there were some things I could have done better. What I learned about myself was that  I need to put in the effort in order to get a good result. 82% shows that the effort was definitely there. Usually I don’t put in the effort and get mad that I didn’t do well, but that’s on me. What I could’ve done better would have been to spend more time on the details rather than the actual writing. For example, one of the comments about our presentation was that the writing was too small. I felt good about the way we presented together and actually worked to complete our project. One of the challenges was that we live far away from each other and we mostly worked on the project during school. 

 

To my surprise I actually really enjoyed working on this project. I enjoyed working with Matthew because I feel we work well together. I was happy with my ability to present because  In past years, when I did have to present I was nervous and shy. Over the years, I have developed more confidence doing public speaking and presentations like this. Overall I had fun and looking forward to coming up with a better idea next year.

 

 

Mishpacha project

 

The purpose of the assignment was to learn about your family history from years ago and then to  present what you learned.

We were supposed ask our parents/grandparents about our family history and then put that into a presentation. This project gave me an oportunnity to learn more about my family history and luckily my grandparents had a book about my family history. It is cool to know what happened way back. It it cool to see where they lived, when they immigrated and who they are, and if there was one thing i would change, i would actually not change anything i am pretty happy with what i did.

 

 

le fantome

Le Fantôme

 

Il était une fois une famille avec un frère et une sœur. Ils s’appelaient Slater et Liora. Un jour, Olivia, la maman de Slater et Liora, est allée faire des courses peque leur papa Andrew étaindant t au travail. Les enfants étaient seuls à la maison. 

 

Dès que leur maman est partie, Liora a dit à son frère qu’elle avait peur d’être seule à la maison. Alors Slater a dit “ne t’inquiète pas Liora il n’y a pas de raison d’avoir peur”. 

 

Soudain, une assiette est tombée de la table dans la cuisine. “Ahhhhh” ! crièrent Liora et Slater. “C’était quoi ça !” dit Slater. Liora et Slater décidèrent qu’ils allaient aller à la cuisine pour voir ce qui s’était passé. 

Ils se sont dirigés vers la cuisine et rien ne semblait inhabituel. Mais ils ont entendu un bruit bizarre dans le sous-sol et ont eu vraiment peur.Ils ont entendu un bruit ooooo-o. 

 

Maintenant ils devaient vérifier ce qui se passait dans le sous-sol 

mais quand ils sont allés au sous-sol, ils ont vu un fantôme!

 

La Fin

Homes Around The World: Philippines

The Philippines is a place with some pretty different houses from what we get around Canada and Usa. The houses may be nice but the Philippines is also a place for natural disasters and well, most of the houses don’t stay there for a while.

 

I will be talking about some of the natural disasters these cool and different house Face. First, tsunamis. The reason most of the houses don’t  is because when the water hit the houses they fall down and of course wash away into the ocean causing pollution. Second, Earthquakes.  They usually happen every day there, there just not severe. The last one that was bad was October 18 2015. It destroyed a lot of things.

 

If i said all that, you would think the philippines just isn’t safe all together but no, there are some places that you can stay safe. There is this place called Palawan. It’s a island with waterfalls and doesn’t ever get natural disasters. You want to stay safe? Go there!

Tsunami Project

Ben, Matthew and I made a Tsunami project and the damage in can do to the world. It can drown animals, destroys buildings, and when the buildings are destroyed, they wash away in the

ocean causing pollution. Not only can it kill animals, i can kill people. Its way more deadly than you think it is. Here is the intro/ 1st slide:

`

The second/ 1st actual slide was about how tsunami’s can happen and the affects on animals:

The 2nd slide was about how tsunamis can affect economy property.

In this slide i talk about how tsumanis affect all buildings and houses, and what happens when everything gets broken downhhhHereHere is the bibliography and here is the outro/end

 

Hope you enjoyed this Tsunami project.

 

 

What’s the Matter Project

Part 1

I did the what’s the matter project about plastic pollution. I had to answer question about plastic pollution and record the media. (Questions about plastic pollution) For example like what can people do to help or what are the positive implications on this. Something like that. I also had to do a bibliography, I decided to do plastic pollution because I want to change people opinion so they really know had bad this is.

Part 2

I learned really how bad plastic pollution is.  I knew it was bad but I didn’t think that over 300 million plastic gets wasted every year, and 2.8 million gets wasted every day, and by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean which was surprising to me. My media was a commercial so it was easy and simple to hear me. I didn’t want to do anything more than that.

Part 3

I enjoyed researching and I don’t think i could of done a lot of things better than I did. I’m happy of how I did the project even though even though I didn’t enjoy really that much. It was nice have options between plastic pollution, oil spills and much more. It was nice to choose what you wanted to.

 

. Plastic is made from fossil fuels and is over a century old

. Leo baekeland was the one to start plastic in 1907

. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean.

. Over 100,000 marine animals die every year because of plastic pollution

 

Wonder Choice Board

I am going to be talking about my wonder comic book that I made. It skips parts but for the most part it talks about everything that happened in the book. Now I’m going to actually be talking about what happened in the comic/ book. Auggie is homeschool for his whole life and is worried he will be made fun of if he goes to school. He may not look the same as everyone but does the same things as everyone just like a normal kid. His age is now in Grade 5 and his parents well at least 1 of them wants him to go to school because she thinks there will be a lot of new kids. He goes to school and things didn’t go bad they just didn’t go good. He also made a new friend that faked actually being a friend just for Auggie to hear Jack talking mean behind his back with a few other kids also.  Then Jack realizes what happened and feels bad and wants to be friends with him. He also got another friend named summer.
