In this lab I took a cup full of bead string, and made the beads come out of the cup by only removing a few beads. This relates to Newton’s law because the momentum of the beads pulled and the momentum created the whole string to remove from the cup. The gravity accelerated the sting coming out and made it so the whole sting came out even though the majority of the bead is still in the cup. I learned how Newton’s law can be related to a real world situation. 

We can read and talk about the laws all the time, but to see the laws being put in place is really cool. Seeing the laws be applied in a simple task makes me think about how many other things they are in. By thinking and using these laws we have solved so many things that make life easier. Things like reducing friction to make things travel farther has increased the way of life dramatically to the point people today can imagine how we could simply get around.

This relates to critical thinking because it makes you think about how newtons laws can be applied in real life. Not only in this demonstration/example, but in other things that we use day to day. This activity was not only fun to do and experiment with, but also has a good takeaway.

I am proud of this artifact because I applied all of what I learned in this course into one thing. It was most difficult to use for loops. I am not very good at it but I figured it out after some trial and error. This artifact connects with creativity because I made nothing into an animation using nothing but my mind. I chose all the the shape sizes, where it was, and colors. If I were to do this again I would make the shapes into something in real life to make the animation more realistic.

Govern-law Supreme Court

First we researched our court case and learned about the problem. Then we found out what we were going to argue, and what the other side is going to argue. We then organized our information to present to the court. We were most successful looking for what we were going to argue. We did this by listening to the actual case that happened weeks before ours. The hardest part was organizing all of the information to present it. This related to the collaboration category  because we had to work with a partner, and we talked to our opponent a little bit to understand the case better. I am satisfied with the Supreme Court system because it is the final deciding factor to every case. If all of the court systems cant find a solution, the Supreme Court says the final say and the dispute is over.

Calculus Hand in Problem

Hand in problems for math are problems that you must type up on the computer in the correct format to get full credit. They are usually problems that cause you to think more than normal daily problems. This is a form of communication because we worked on it together and one of us had to type it up and email it to Mr. Faulkner. The hand in problems are helpful because it makes us think deeper and helps us learn to problem solve.
