During this entire week I have learned lots. On Monday I learned about security and how it’s very important. We took a walk through Hartland to try to figure out were the best places to put security cameras where without invading on peoples lives. While we were walking and having fun we were also learning which is how I learn best so i really enjoyed that project. During the week did this project that helped us learn more about Google docs but also taught us about things that happened in Libya. Also during this week we had to put together a project about technology laws in the United States. Then we had to look into our Constitution and find an Amendment that had to do about technology. There were three parts to this project, the first was for social studies and the second part was for science. We had to get two sets of numbers that had to do with technology and put them into a graph on Google Docs. The last part of the project was for Language Arts and you had to put together a reference page with all of the websites that you used for the whole project. This project was supposed to give us different ideas for a constitution for Libya that we will be putting together soon. I science this week we learned about measurement and about all of the different lab tools that we will be using. During art this week we have been learning how to draw a picture using a grid format and how to not think of the picture as a hole or as an object but to instead look at it as it were just a whole bunch of shapes and lines. I thought that it was pretty neat because had never look at a picture that way when I drew. During this week we had a lady come in to talk to us about "College and Career Readiness' she told us about all of the available jobs that we going to be out there when we get to the age when we are ready to get a job. During this week i learned lots some that i didn’t really have that much of and interest about but others that I had lots. I learned lots about Google docs, how to make an APA Reference page, technology laws in the U.S., careers that are going to be available when I’m in or out of college and lots of other very useful information. 

Measuring

Acruracy is how close a measurement is to the accepted value and is the clostest to the true value. Precision is how close measurements are to eachother  and several measurements are repeatedly close. A significant didgit is a number that comes after a zero its really just any number besides zero. Based on my data the mass of 2 Liters of water is 2,000 g based on the knolage that one l Liter equals 1,000 mm.

What I learned about makeing measurements that i didnt know untill today was that you have to make sure that you are accactly presise with your measurements in science. Also you should make sure that what ever you are measuring that us measure it to the nearest 100th because then your measurement will be more persise.     

Ropes Cource

Durring the ropes cource i learned alt about how teamwork really pays of. Getting instructions from my team on the ground made the task at hand acheiveable. The big reason why i wanted to go on the ropes cource was because i wanted to try something new for the first timeand overcome my fear of hights. I also had lots of fun cheering on and supporting my team. I would definitly encourage other people to do it! 

Design a Room

The reason that i wanted to design the room was because well first of all I'v never done it before and secondly i had some really good ideas that i wanted to put out there and this was finally a time that i could. I learned alt about ow presise you have to be in your measurements of the room and the objects in the room to make sure that it fits perfectly. If you don't get the measurements right your plan wont work and you will have to go back to the drawing board. While we were trying to figure out the location for a seating area in the room, we decovered that the measuring tape was of by a few inches, and wow did that make a big difference. Which cause us to have to remeasure the entire project. Also durring this project i learned alot about team work and how using other peoples ideas and putting them all together is better and more efficient.
