This week I had a lot of fun in Art. We started of the week in Mr. M’s room. We did this experiment to try and figure out what this mystery substance was. He had about 12 out on the tables and we had to go around and say if they were an Element, Atom, Compound, ext. and right down why we thought it was one of those. Then once we found out which substance we thought the mystery substance was then we had to do a test like a flammability test and see if it really was the substance just so that we could prov it was. After you did the test then you had to put all your data into a table and right out a short lab report telling why you though this one substance was the mystery one. When my partner and I went and looked at the substances we knew we were only looking for one that was white because that was what color the mystery one was. Then when we put all the white ones next to each other there were some that we like an off white color so we eliminated those. After we only had about 4 or 5 and just looking at the substances you could figure out which one the mystery substance was because it was sparkly in the light and looked like crystal. Also it was really grainy looking so just by looking at the substances we figured out witch one it was.
Another thing this week that I had an awesome time doing was in art. We are starting this awesome new project now that were all done with all our videos and grid enlargements. WE are now constructing sort off like a 3D model of a crystal. It’s going to be the size of a basketball when we are done and then were going to make it into a bowl by cutting a lid in the top. We have already cut out all of the shapes that we are going to need to make them and now we are constructing then. I have found it really cool how they are all just perfectly fitting together and making a circular bowl at the same time. Im about half way done. Im so excited about what it’s going to look like when im all done. Also we get to glaze it im pretty sure which im probably going to do a blue or brown so that I can have it in my room and it will match.
In social studies this week we had to take a test on chapters 3 and 4 in this one social studies book that we all received last week Friday. I found it really hard to understand all of the talk in the book. It was all about the government and the budget and if I read something that I really don’t care about usually it’s hard for me to interpret it and remember it. The first time that I took it I didn’t do so well. Then we had a retake on Friday and I still didn’t do well.
So this week I would have to say I had a lot of fun in the academy. I hope next week is as fun. There was just one thing this week that I didn’t like and that was that for this one project that we did in English I mean I didn’t exactly mind doing it, it was sort of fun It’s just that my partners didn’t do anything. So now im scared that im going to get a bad grade because of them. I mean I worked for 3 hours on my part of the project and then they only right about 5 sentences and then make me get the bed grade. I didn’t think that my project was that bad I thought it was one of my best that I have done in English. That’s why I think this partner stuff for project has to change or something because all of my partners that I have had throughout all of the projects have done nothing on any of them. I don’t think that’s right and no one’s doing anything about them. They just tell them to do better next time!
