Eukaryote cells have cell membrane enclosed organelles like the nucleus and the lysosome. Prokaryote cells on the other hand have organelles like the cell wall and ribosomes. Also Prokaryote cells have a flagellum to help them move around. But they both have DNA in their structure. Also Prokaryote Cells were the first cells ever on earth. While Eukaryote cells evolved from the Prokaryote cells. The Prokaryote cells are way smaller but they have a simple structure so they reproduce faster. Well the Eukaryote cells are way bigger but they have a way more complex structure to it so it reproduces slower. These days you can find Prokaryote cells in bacteria and Eukaryote cells in  every living thing.

I explained Prokaryote and Eukaryote cells through my quiz and note in class. I did this well because I watched a video on Prokaryote and Eukaryote cells and answered all of the questions correctly that asked about the Prokaryote and Eukaryote cells.

The Cell Organelle Lysososme

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage

The Cell Organelle the lysosome has an important job in our bodies. The lysosome’s job is to help get rid of the waste inside the cell and break it down. Lysosome organelles involved in digest and waste removal. Lysosome digest excess or worn out organelles and food particles. Lysosome sometimes kills other cells when it is there time meaning they are not needed anymore an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane

Lysosomes are the organelles of a cell that contain digestive enzymes that can digest the entire cell and kill it. Sometimes cells need to die, and to do this lysosomes rupture to release their enzymes. As far as I know, they're randomly dispersed inside the cytoplasm. They're called suicide bags of the cell for this very reason. Lysosomes Float around the cells until they are needed. Also the Lysosomes hold nutritions inside of them. Lysosomes are connected by only one membrane. Sometimes the membrane of the lysosome opens and the molecule is moved into the lysosome. The lysosome has gases and liquids inside that help brake down the waste. It also has a sphere looking appearance.

I carried out an investigation when me and my group researched the organelle Lysosome for a group project of cell wars. I Researched lots of things like the function and what it does. I answered my question of what does the Lysosome do and what is the lysosome. I now know that the lysosome is a cell organelle that gets rid of waste and bad cells. It is kind of like the police of the cell.

Magnets and paper

http://www.stanford-magnets.com/f                                        https://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-   errite-bar-magnets.html                                                   stock-photos-blank-paper-stack-image11730078                                                                                  

What type of magnet can connect through more amounts of paper? This is a question that I had a couple days ago. So I made a hypothesis and a conclusion to find out. My experiment contained of Bar Magnets, Brick Magnet, and Black Circle Magnets. My hypothesis was that: I believe that out of Bar magnets, Brick magnets, and Black circle magnets, that Brick Magnets will hold the most amount of paper. Then I did my experiment. What you need to do this experiment is Bar magnets, Brick magnets, and Black Circle magnets. You will also have to have lots of pieces of paper and a flat surface. 

First you put a magnet on a the flat surface then you put a couple pieces of paper on top of it then you put the matcher of that magnet on top of the paper then lift the paper and see if the magnets go with it. If the magnets connect and the magnet on the bottom is lifted then take the magnet of the top of the stack and add more paper. Do this untill the magnets no longer connects and the bottom of magnet is not lifted. If the bottom magnet is not lifted up then take the magnet of the top of the paper and take away one piece of paper away from the top of the stack then try again. Do this untill the bottom magnet is not lifted. Then count the amount of paper that was in between the magnets that is the amount of paper that those magnets can connect through. Then repeat these steps with the other magnets.

I planned and carried out an investagation in class when I made an experiment to test what type of magnet can connect through more amounts of paper. I found that my hypothesis was correct and that brick magnets can connect through the most amounts of paper. Brick magnets can connect through 250 pieces of paper. Bar magnets can connect through 27 pieces of paper. Black Circle magnets can connect through 168 pieces of paper.

The scientififc method.

                          https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Scientific_Method_(simple).png


The scientific method is different for everyone. This is because you can be analysing your data and then redo your hypothesis. Though the Scientific Method that everyone is taught goes like this. First you observe with all your senses, (smell, sight, taste, touch, hear). An example is the piano is hard and black, or the piano is 2 1/2 feet long and 2 feet tall. Then come up with a "testable" question. Like is the piano paint able or how many pieces of paper can magnets go through. Then you make a hypothesis. Like I believe the piano was originally black, or I believe that magnets can connect through 20 pieces of paper. Then you make an experiment. Like removing the paint on the piano to see if your hypothesis is true. Then you gather your data and analyse it. Then you make a conclusion ( is your hypothesis is correct or not). Then you share your learnings or change your hypothesis depending on your results.



S&EP

I asked the question of how many pieces of paper can magnets connect to. My hypothesis is that they can connect through 15-20 pieces of paper.  I think this because normal magnets aren't really strong and paper can sometimes get thick also if one magnet is covered then it might get weaker then the other so that they don't connect. It is like if you were covered with a blanket and it is hard to breath you might get weaker because you don't get enough air.

Traking food systems

The grapes food system is a system that happens so that the grapes can get to us. The first step to a grape system is the production of the grapes this is when the grapes grow on the vines. Then we had to figure out how the food could get wasted in this process.  The second step in this system is the harvesting where they pick the grapes and look over them. Then we had to find out how the grapes could get and get wasted and right them down. The third step is the washing of the grapes. Then comes the packaging. Then the storing. Then, shipping. Next theirs retailing/selling. Then it is in our fridge. Next we eat or consume. Then the extras goes to the dump.

In class we made models to explain the systems and the steps. We had to make squares that explained the step, how the grapes could get wasted and a drawing of the step. We did this for every step in the system then put them in order and a piece of paper and shared to the class.

Go-go squeeze project trash to treasure

http://www.associatedbag.com/im
ages/catalog/WDUCTTAP.6_400.JPG

        Ever wanted to know how to make a backgammon game. Well I know how and you can reserve trash well you make it. Materials needed are Go-go Squeeze  eaten pouches, duct tape, card board, dry wall tape, and baby food lids. How you make it. First you have to cut the card board to the size you want your game. Then you cut that in half so that the game is bendable then you put glue on the dry wall tape and put it on both sides and make sure that the pieces are cut to the proper size. Then you have to whip out your ruler and measuring skills with a pencil in hand.

       Now what you do is you measure 9 16ths of an inch and you put a mark with your pencil, then you line that mark up with the 1 inch mark. Then from the 1 inch mark measure 1 inch and 2 16ths of an inch and you make a mark then line that mark up with the 1 inch mark and do the same thing repeat untill you can do no more. Then that last mark is the marker of the other side of the border. (cut down if you think border is to big). Then you do the same thing on the other side of the board. Now measure up 5 and 3 qaurters of an inch up from the first mark at the bottom of the page. Now measure 9 16ths of an inch from the border and make a mark then line that up with the 1 inch mark and then measure 1 inch and 2 16ths  of an inch. repeat till you have reached the middle of the last two marks on the other side of the board then flip the board and do the same on the other side. Then take your ruler and connect the first mark on the bottom of the page to the closest mark on the top of the page then connect that mark at the top of the page to the mark next to the first mark on the page to make a triangle. Then connect the second mark on the botom of the bar to the second mark on the top of the bar and then connect the second mark on the top of the bar to the third mark on the bottom of the page so on and so on till you reach the end then flip and do the same thing on the other side till you have all of your triangles.

         Now it is time for Go Go squeezes. First you cut along the top seam of the pouch right under the mouthpiece till the top opens up then cut along the side seams until they open then rience of the food, then dry after carefully pull on the seams on the bottom till their is a little bit left on the seams then you take you ruler and a sharpie and on the silver side line up the edge of the ruler (when you try to measure things side on the seam) with the seam and on the opposite side of the ruler that the seam is on make a mark the use thee ruler to make a STRAIGHT line. Then 9 16ths of an inch in on the line add a mark then line the 1 inch mark with the mark on the pouch. Then make a mark 1 inch and 2 16ths of an inch then line that mark up with the 1 inch mark on the ruler and make a mark 1 inch and 2 16ths of an inch. Now measure 5 inches and 3 quarters of an inch up from the middle mark and the bottom and make a mark then using the ruler make a STRAIGHT line the 9 16ths of an inch to the left of the mark on the top line and make a mark do the same on the opposite side of the MAIN/MIDDLE mark on the line. Then from the first mark on the bottom of the first on on the top of the pouch use the ruler to make a STRAIGHT line connecting them. Then draw a line from the first mark on the top of the Pouch to the second mark on the bottom of the pouch. Then from the second mark on the bottom line SKIP THE MIDDLE MARK ON THE TOP connect it to the third mark on the top line. Then draw a line from the third mark on the top line to the third mark on the bottom line. Now you start cutting. Cut along the lines made with sharpie untill you have three triangles. then glue them to the board in the lined of triangles in the pattern green, gray, green, gray so on and so on till you run out of triangles repeat this process till no blank triangles remain on the board. As the dry take your duct tape and make a border on the outside of the board. then find some dice and play. Dont forget the rules!




Backwards-looking
I did not know much about the topic of trash to treasure and how it helps but Backgammon was a strong suit of mine and I was good at it so the moment we had this project i knew what I was going to do.

Inwards-looking
My standards for the project was have it work look nice and meet all of the expectations of the teacher and the rubric. I think that I excelled my standards and I made a good board game for people to play I think that personally I made it look pretty and I would want to play that game of backgammon even if I did not like the game.

Outwards-looking
I would give the project an A because it looks neat and like I actually put work into it and it is not last minute. I think that I also would give it an A because it meet all of the standards for an A. Also because it was hard work to make this project. (especially eating all of the Go-Go squeezes).

Forward-looking
One thing that I would improve upon is the border and the glueing. Next time I would make it with a glue gun not Elmers glue or maybe even superglue. For the border I should have cut it neater and so some parts weren't bumpy.

       The digestive system uses these following organs. Small intestine, large intestine, mouth, stomach, and esophugousThe function of the digestive system is to eat food then break it down into energy we can use. The small intestines job is to absorb most of the nutrients. The large intestine absorbs the water. The digestive system starts in the mouth. The stomach breaks down the food even more with acade. The esophagous takes the food to the stomach. These two help the digestive system the liver and the bull balder. The liver absorbs fat and nutrients. The bull bladder provides the bile.

                The respiratory  system is made up of the following organs. The trachea, the lungs, and the diaphragm. The function of the respiratory system is to get the oxygen we need and use it to break down sugars. The diaphragm contracts  to pull air in. The trachea is the passage that leads air to the lungs. Lungs hold the bronchioles where the alveoli live witch is where the  hole exchange occurs.

         The circulatory system is made up of the following organs. The heart, veins, and arteries. The function is to transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The Arteries transport the blood away from the heart. The veins function is to take the  blood to the heart.The heart function is to pump the blood.

That is why I like to think of them as brick walls. Next is the organ these are a group of tissues working together to do a certain job. That is why I liked to think of them as one room. The last is the organ system witch is a group of organs that work together to do one  certain job. That is why I like to think of  them as a house.

The nervous system is in control of your body it is what tells you what to do and when to do it. The things that makes up this are the brain, the spinal cord, and your nerves. Your brain is the control system of your body. Your  spinal cord carries the messages to and from your body. Your nerves carry in the messages from the outside world.

The excretory system gets the organs in the system are the kidneys, the regathers, the bladder, and the urethra. The kidneys filter blood and  produce urine.The regathers transfer urine to the bladder. The bladder stores the urine. The urethra takes the urine outside your body.

The mussels that are in the muscular system are the smooth muscle, the cardiac muscle , and the skeletal muscle. The function of the muscular system is to make you move. An example of a skeletal muscle is your calf. An example of a smooth muscle is your intestines. An example of a cardiac muscle is your heart.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Skelett-Mensch-drawing.jpg

The skeletal system has bones and lots of joints. The function of the skeletal system is to help you stand help you move  to help protect organs and other  needed body parts that are valuable to our body and keep us alive. The bones function is to help protect valuable body parts and to help us keep our structure and even produce blood. The joints function is to connect bones and they are also the place where we can bend our body.

Plants of all kinds are producers. A producer is an organism that gets it's energy from the sun or in other words do photosynthesis. Like the grass in your front yard, or the flowers in your garden. These are all examples of producers. Organisms that eat other organisms for their energy are called consumers. Then you have the things i the earth that break down the dead or dieing organism these are called decomposers.

There are three types of consumers. You have herbivores these animals are the ones that eat organisms without meat. Then you have carnivores these are the ones that eat other organism with meat. Then you have omnivores these are the ones that eat all organisms like us. Then you have decomposers they are like worms, bacteria and those types of things. They break down organisms that are dead. 

Adaptation:

                https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/wiredscience/2011/04/peppered-moth-evolution-science.jpg

Adaptation is when a habitat gets changed and the animals that lived in it either find a new home or adapt to their habitat and the animal chooses to adapt. One story of adaptation is of the peppered moth. This type of moth lives in England on light-barked trees the lighter type of moth survived best while the darker types got prayed on and eaten because they were seen.Then people in England chose to put factories next to the trees the bark started to get darker because of the pollution. When this happened the darker peppered moth survived and the lighter ones got eaten. Then England decided to take the factories down because of what they were doing to the trees. Soon the trees started to get lighter again and the lighter peppered moth survived better and the darker started to get eaten by predators again.Adaptation also is part of genes. Genes are the characteristics that you get from parents or relatives. This is because if the peppered moth's mother was light then it would probably be light. Or if the moth's parents were darker it would most likely be darker.

Electricity.

                                                  

                                                     http://images.clipartpanda.com/light-bulbs-4ibd7j5ig.jpeg

Electricity starts with electrons. The flow of electricity starts when electrons jump from atom to atom. Electricity is contained by closed paths. But to get the electrons to flow they use composers which are objects that electricity flows through most commonly metals like copper. Then if you surround that by an insulator which are objects the electricity can't flow through most commonly rubber or plastic then that creates a closed path in which the electrons flow through to get to our devices. This contraption is more commonly known as a wire. 

But that is not all. Have you ever wondered how a light bulb lights up. Well here is what happens first the electrons start at the battery. Then they come out of the positive side of the battery. Then they travel through wires to the light bulb then there's a very small wire that only allows one electron at a time this wire is called a filament. Then the electrons have to squeeze through this wire. Then you know when you work hard you start to get hot well electrons are like that to. So when they try to travel through this area then they start to give of heat and light and then they start to almost like transform into heat and light then sense the filament gets light and the filament is in the light bulb it lights it up.  Then when that process is done what is left of it comes back to the negative side of the battery and gets "refreshed". This process is called a circuit. 

Magnets.

                                                  http://www.howmagnetswork.com/images/article/attractrepel2.gif

A magnet usually has two sides a north pole and a south pole, just like the earth. If you took two south poles on a magnet and tried to put them together they would repel each other, same thing if you did north and north. But if you tried to put together north and south together they would be attracted to each other. So same repel and opposites attract.

You can not touch a magnet's force. So magnetic forces can go through almost anything, wood aluminum, paper, books, fabric, shoes, backpacks, you name it. But if you want to disconnect a magnet all you have to do is add space the more space the weaker the force.

The earth is a magnet. The earth like a magnet has a northand a south pole. The earth once again like a magnet has a magnetic field. A magnetic field is made but magnetic forces coming out from one side and going into the other side or out the north pole and into the south pole this makes lines of magnetic forces on either side of the magnet this makes a magnetic field.

Matter.

What is matter?

Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass in volume. Matter is what makes the world and everything in it. If their was no matter we wouldn't be here. Anything that is solid, liquid, gas, plasma, or Be condensates is matter, this is because if the objects fall into these categories they are in states of matter so that makes it matter.

Two things can happen to matter! What are those two?

The two things that can happen to matter is a physical change and a chemical change. A physical change is when you take a piece of paper and you rip cut or fold it. do you still have paper? Yes! Like if you take a pencil or a stick and break it on you knee it is still wood right ? Yes! So basically a physical change is when something happens to something that is matter but is t changes how it looks but it is still a what it was when it had no changes.

A chemical changes in matter is when something happens to matter so that it forms new matter or something new. An example of chemical changes in matter if burning. Lets say you have wood or a piece of paper and you set it on fire once the fire burns out then you have ashes. Is that the same as before it caught on fire? No! Another example of chemical changes in matter is when you bake a cake are the ingredients the same now that you have cooked them?No!

A list of physical changes in matter:                                               A list of chemical changes in matter:

                                                                           

• cutting                                                                                      burning
• folding                                                                                      rusting
• write on                                                                                    cooking

I confirmed that backing powder was the mysterious substance by seeing how it reacts to substance and do substances we know and seeing if they act the same way and if they do then they are the mysterious substance. This is connected to matter because it is showing how different atoms act when meting others and the reactions that happen.

The four states of matter are solid, liquid, plasma and gas. First it starts as a solid. A solid is the part of matter when their's almost no energy and the energy particles are clumped together. Solids have a definite size and shape. Then when the energy particles get farther apart they move faster and faster then it turns into a liquid. This process is called Melting. 

     Once the solid has melted it turns into a liquid. A liquid is the state of matter where the energy particles are still close but not as close to each other as the solid was and they are moving faster and getting faster as they move away from each other. A liquid takes the shape of it's container. Then when the energy particles start moving farther and farther away they get faster and faster. Then the energy particles get so fast and so far away that they turn into a Gas. This process is called Evaporation.

     Once the liquid has evaporated it turns into a gas. A gas it the state of matter when the energy particles are moving very fast and are very far apart from each other. Gas has no definite size or shape. Gas takes up as much room as it possibly can. Then when the energy particles get faster and get farther away they turn into plasma. This process is called Lionization.

Making a light up necklace. All you need to make it is fabric cut into strips, wires, batteries, a light, and a wire cover up. Then you cut the wires down to size then you connect the wires to the battery/battery holder by twisting the slightly sticking out wires by twisting the ends a little bit then you use a wire cover up and you stick the copper sticking out part of the wire into the wire cover up and twist the cover upm like you are capping a water bottle till it feels tight. You repeat this process till you reach the middle then connect one of the wires of the light bulb to the wire and then you repeat on the other side once you reach the other side of the battery holder. Then you take a small wire and you connect that to the battery holder but not to the wire that is connected to the light bulb. the copper parts that are sticking out of the wires on both sides that are unconnected now these become the clasps so when you connect the wires by twisting these two copper wires together you put on the necklace and it turns on. Okay now for the fabric. Once you insert the battery in the battery holder you cut a big piece of the fabric that can cover the battery holder and rap it around the battery holder and connect it with tape so you can undo it to put in a new battery when old battery is dead. then you cut the fabric into three long and equal lengths of fabric then you connect them on either side with tape and tape it to the battery holder then rap it around everything except the light and the area of the clasp. then tape it to the other side of the battery holder. Your necklace is done!

Backwards-looking:

I think that I knew a lot about this subject when I came into the project because of my wonderful teachers and science classes, and zondle.I think that in the long run it helped alot.

I like what I made but I think that maybe I could have thought about something a bit more creative then a light up necklace. But I like how it is unique and one of a kind.

Outward-looking:

If I was the teacher I would say that it is one of a kind and fun. I personally think that I would give it an A. I think this because it is well crafted and you could tell that me and my partner Lizzy put a lot of effort in it.

One thing that I would improve on is that I would make the necklace have more lights and decoration and possible a bit more creativity.

WE conducted an experiment when we stacked text books and put a magnet in between them then we taped a paper clip that was attached to a rubber band to the table the textbooks were on then the magnet
made the paper clip stand up then we took pencils wood paper books anything that we could find and put it in between the magnet and the paper clip then if the paper clip feel down then meant that the magnetic force could not go through that object. But if the paper clip stayed standing then that meant that the magnetic force could go trough that object.

If I was in charge I would chose to eliminate coal from being able  to produce electricity, I would do this because coal makes smoke and other things that are bad for the environment. I personally think that getting electricity from solar is the best option, So I think that getting electricity from coal is not our best option.
On the other hand I think that generating electricity from solar panels and the sun is better. This is because Solar energy is one of the cleanest source of energy and even maybe the cleanest. Also it can be done when ever. Even when the sun is not out boiling water is a form of solar electricity.  So this is why I think that solar energy is the best for us and the environment.

We used models to show how circuits with light switch. This helped me understand how they work. This is because now I know that when you turn the light on the switch pulls a piece of wire in to connect the circuit so it is a closed circuit so that the energy can flow properly to lights. But when you turn the light off the switch pushes the piece of wire that it pulled in back out and away from the circuit so the energy can't flow through to the lights. 

Electricity

Electricity starts with electrons. The flow of electricity starts when electrons jump from atom to atom. Electricity is contained by closed paths. But to get the electrons to flow they use composers which are objects that electricity flows through most commonly metals like copper. Then if you surround that by an insulator which are objects the electricity can't flow through most commonly rubber or plastic then that creates a closed path in which the electrons flow through to get to our devices. This contraption is more commonly known as a wire. 

But that is not all. Have you ever wondered how a light bulb lights up. Well here is what happens first the electrons start at the battery. Then they come out of the positive side of the battery. Then they travel through wires to the light bulb then there's a very small wire that only allows one electron at a time this wire is called a filament. Then the electrons have to squeeze through this wire. Then you know when you work hard you start to get hot well electrons are like that to. So when they try to travel through this area then they start to give of heat and light and then they start to almost like transform into heat and light then sense the filament gets light and the filament is in the light bulb it lights it up.  Then when that process is done what is left of it comes back to the negative side of the battery and gets "refreshed". This process is called a circuit.

In class we drew a model of a circuit like the one shown above. This helps me understand how they work and what they look like the the whole picture makes sense o me and i can create connections and ideas from what I learned. I think that drawing models can help my education because for me they make things easier to understand.
