              In my math and science course, Street-math, we have recently looked at atmosphere. For my project I choose an equation that measures atmospheric pressures at different heights. I think this issue really is important for me because I live in Chicago where we are known for our tall Read More…

The purpose of our Food Action Project was to look more deeply into chemical reactions and their impact on the food we bake. We focused specifically on leavening agents, such as baking soda and baking powder. We learned that these leavening agents are what helps our food, in this case cupcakes, to rise in the Read More…

This project is for my food redux course. The purpose of this project was to make a blueprint of  a garden because in the future GCE is planning to cultivate a garden. In my research, I learned a lot about different plants and how they grow. In addition, I learned that plants need a sufficient amount Read More…

My Unit 1 Action Project for my Food Redux course was to create and plan a ten-plant garden, and calculate what the volume of soil for that garden was going to be. I also had to discover and calculate how many living organisms were going to be in my garden creation. I learned about how Read More…

In my light and sound class, we are studying time telling devices in the past, present, and future. We studied the sun dial among other time telling devices.Then my class had to come up with ideas for our own time telling device. We went on a mental journey to the past/future and come back with Read More…

For my first Fuel project, we had to find an energy producing natural resource and it’s cycle.  My natural resource is the sun. The purpose of this project was to find out how the natural resources are created. I am proud of the final product that I’ve produced. I learned a lot about the cycle of the solar Read More…

For our third and final milestone in our math and science class (design and engineering) we designed, created, and tested solar panels.  We did this by first planning out what materials to use, and then we  drew out the design to see how it would look.  We used paper plates for wings, and used wooden Read More…

For my Design and Engineering class, we worked in groups of four to create water heaters that would be powered completely by solar energy. For this, we used copper piping, aluminum containers and other found objects to create a functional heater. We ran into some issues during the building process, including leakages and how to Read More…

For the global resource water course, I did my water sample project on the Public hotel near Navy Pier in Chicago, IL. We did this project so we can learn not only on pH but how clean our water is. Please look below at my Prezi!

 In our Design and Engineering class, we were put into two different groups and asked to identify three problems in the world where how a simple hand washing station could come in handy. After coming up with the three locations (India, Uganda, and Bolivia), we than had to ask ourselves how could we design a Read More…
