G9 Science Mini-Capstone

Posted by Ian Fay in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on Thursday, June 12, 2014 at 10:44 am

Dissection Portfolio


Inquiry - How is the human body similar/different to the bodies of other organisms?


Research - My group gathered information by dissecting the different organisms besides humans as well as looking up information from online resources.


Collaboration - I worked with my partners to help research more about the anatomy of humans, frog, and grasshoppers


Presentation - My group’s presentation was clear and easily understood by anyone reading it. All of the systems in the presentation were all clearly display via the chart of all of the bodily systems.


Reflection - I would have liked to make some of the information more thorough so we could have more to offer our class.

The Alchemy Lab


Inquiry: Before beginning this experiment, Mr. Sherif told us that we will be making gold by using copper. I was excited and wanted to know how copper could be turned into gold.


Research: First we found out what we had to mix for the chemicals to turn the copper gold. We used a lab write up written by our teacher and found out that we needed to heat up salt water, sodium hydroxide, zinc, and copper pennies.


Collaboration: In the beginning, most of the students failed into turning their pennies gold. Therefore we decided to work together and try to correct each other's mistakes.


Presentation: After the lab, we did not really present our gold pennies. The most that we did was show them to peers and compare our gold pennies and how we went through the process of creating them.


Reflection: If I were to do this differently, I would follow the instructions correctly to in order to get the best results that I could get.

Project-Science Fair Project


Inquiry- What Imani and I wanted to know from doing our Science Project is how many bacteria colonies are on phones depending on how long they are used.

Research- We used websites that gave information about how to clean your phone and what type of bacteria can be found on phones.  


Collaboration- Imani and I worked together on doing the experiment and creating the board.  Also, by doing the science fair we got our information out to our peers.


Presentation- I think just our project was effective because teens could relate.  Pretty much all teens have cell phones that they use all the time, so it makes people curious about what’s on their phones.


Reflection- If I was to do this project again I would do more trials.  I think it would have been cool to see if the trend that was happening continued.

Dissection Portfolio Reflection

Posted by Imani Weeks in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on Thursday, June 12, 2014 at 9:01 am

Dissection Portfolio:


Inquiry- We were comparing the body ratio of organisms


Research- a frog and grasshopper were dissected to measure the different body systems to find the ratio.


Collaboration- I worked on the project with Isabel Medlock and Dejah Smith


Presentation- We presented the project in a slideshow and we used carp to organize everything.


Reflection- Some of the slides seemed a bit crowded so if I were to do it again I would put in a way on the slide so that it didn't seem so crowded.

Reflection:

I think the project that I enjoyed the most is the project where we turn a penny to gold by boiling it in sodium hydroxide and zinc, then burning it to make it gold.


Inquiry: In this project, we simply wanted to turn a penny gold. WIth that explained, our abstract for this project was to test out alchemy.

Research: We first studied about the definition of alchemy and what it is. Then, we got a guideline for the experiment and we read over it. Finally, we did the experiment to see how alchemy really works.

Collaboration: For this project, I worked with Ishmael. We helped each other by setting up the experiment because there were a lot of steps.

Presentation: Our project was very effective because we successfully made a penny gold. The guideline helped us out a lot because it gave us the steps to the experiment.

Reflection: If I were to do this experiment again, I would read the directions more carefully because we didn’t have a control and a experimental 1 when we were suppose to.

The Macromolecules Portfolio

Posted by Ishmael Brown in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on Thursday, June 12, 2014 at 8:58 am

Macromolecules


Core Values


Inquiry - I wanted to know more about Protein, Lipids, Carbohydrates and DNA and what they’re made up of.


Research - We research mostly through the internet and organized what we found through in a Google Presentation with a dedicated section for each marcomolecule


Collaboration - I worked in collaboration with three other people of my table group and the four of us took upon one of the four macromolecules.


Presentation - Our Google Presentation was very simple, repeated and  designed in the same way for each macromolecule and it was effective in this way.


Reflection - Add more information, graphs if possible and  make sure we all had similar points in the information we presented.

Project: Photosynthesis.

Inquiry: I wanted to know the process and the way photosynthesis.

Research: We used textbooks in our classroom and we used Google throughout our presentation.

Presentation: We worked as group was our collaboration presenting because we entered and knew what we were gonna do.

Reflection: I'd been by doing different orders in our presentation and do more info through textbooks.

Periodic Table Project

Posted by Hanna Dunakin in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on Thursday, June 12, 2014 at 8:58 am

​The most intriguing project that I did was the Periodic Table project. 

Inquiry: I wanted to learn about the element I was assigned which was silicon. I wanted to know where it came from, what it’s used for, and who discovered it.

Research: I did a lot of research on the internet, and created a Google Doc to organize the information I found. 

Collaboration: Although I did work independently on this project, I did get to learn what my fellow classmates had learned on their elements.

Presentation: I had done so much research on my element, that if anybody asked me about it, I could answer them in a very detailed and informative way. 

Reflection: If I had to redo this assignment, I don’t think I would change anything I did.

Intriguing Project: DNA Construction


Inquiry: I wanted to know what was the building blocks in DNA

Research: I went on the internet and research building blocks of DNA.

Collaboration:  I was working with another person to make this project happen.

Presentation: We used bright colors.

Reflection: I won’t hot glue candy together next time.
