Periodic Table Wikispace Reflection

Posted by Isabel Medlock in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on

Project: Periodic Table Scavenger Hunt

https://chemsocialpolicy.wikispaces.com/Nickel


Inquiry:

- For this project I wanted to know what exactly nickel was and what where it’s uses and properties. I also wanted know why it was called Nickel and who discovered it.


Research:

- To gather information I researched my element online and I also used the periodic table.


Collaboration:

- In this project we had to compare some of our element’s properties to others. By doing this we collaborated to learn more about other elements. Other people also helped me learn how to make the graphs for the wikispace.


Presentation:

- For my presentation I included some pictures so that people would be more interested in reading my project. Also I used CARP and made sure all the font and alignment was appealing.


Reflection:

- Next time I would add more pictures. I would also add more details about how it was discovered and how it was named.

DNA Sequence Project

Posted by Cacy Thomas in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on

My most intriguing project in my ninth grade science class was my first benchmark. It consisted of writing a paper on DNA and making a 3D model of it. I started out think of my school’s Core values, inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation, and reflection. Inquiry is thinking of questions you want to ask and thinking of what you want to learn. I specifically wanted to learn about genetic mutations. Then I moved on to research and gathered my information. I searched online and asked my classmates and peers for help in order to put together my project. This also coincided with the third core value of collaboration. I was able to work with my friends and help them with their projects and in return they helped me with mine. In the picture below you can see my presentation board. I created a poster which included a full DNA sequence on top of the board, and I also included an up close version on the beneath it. If I could do this project any differently I definitely would start my board earlier. I wrote the paper fairly quickly, but I waited until the last minute to make my 3D model. I had so much fun working on and completing this project.​

DNA - Who Am I?

Posted by Ebony Ream in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on


  • Inquiry:

    • I wanted to know how DNA works and affects the human body.


  • Research:

    • I gathered and organized information by using useful sources and knowledge that I’ve learned in class.


  • Collaboration:

    • I worked together with my partner and would collaborate with my classmates sometimes, when I needed information I did not know.


  • Presentation:

    • Our presentation was a DNA structure sample made out of pipe cleaners. They were color coded according to their part.


  • Reflection:

    • What I would do differently is time management. Everything was done last minute really and if there was more time, maybe there would've been more thought into the presentation.

G9 Science Mini-Capstone

SFP-Battery made out of coins


Inquiry- wanted to know how much electricity a nickel and penny can produce compared to a AA battery.


Research- I gathered information by research on Google and also finding different websites.


Collaboration- I asked many of my classmates for nickels and pennies to donate towards the experiment.


Presentation- The most effective write-up for our presentation was by drawing people in with our homemade battery.


Reflection- If I was to do this project over I would definitely work on the presentation setup because it was a very boring design.

Acid Wiki Reflection

Posted by DuBois Stewart in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on

Inquiry:We wanted to know what made the effects of acid rain so terrible and how it was created.

Research:We searched up the effects of acid rain on google and wrote down what we knew on a google doc. We found about 5 useful sites for the info gathering and utilized them for our information gathering.

Collaboration:All if us: Ari, Hanna, and Reily shared the work we did equally on the google doc and the retaining of information. All of made a diagram of acid rain in action and the symbolic equations as well as the pictures of it on a particulate level.

Presentation: The fact that all of us had focused on a certain portion of the project ensured that all of us knew a lot about our information. Also, the fact that all of us went back and peer edited the project contributed to our success in this area.

Reflection: I would probably try talk more because I am a sort of quiet person and i’m not good at talking to others. Maybe if I had communicated more with my teammates it would’ve gone quicker.

Reflection


1- My partner and i wanted to know which soda contained higher corrosion levels.

2- We gathered our information from previous research that was done online and through asking questions.

3- I was part of an community by asking others for help and having my peers review my writing that was done for projects.

4- I feel what was effective about our presentation was definitely the fact that  both partners knew the information and we were both able to speak knowledgeably.

5- I would not wait till the last minute and be more proactive.

Inquiry Science Fair - Filtration Project Mini Capstone Reflection

Posted by Felix Schafroth Doty in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on

My most interesting project so far and what I have learned the most from has been the SFP project.

Inquiry: We wanted to know more about water filtration because of things we had done earlier in this class, and so we focused on that.

Research: We did research online, but we also researched stuff from a pamphlet.

Collaboration: I worked with a partner, Ben, and Mr Sherif.

Presentation: Our presentation looked cool and colorful.

Reflection: I would make the graphs right and be more precise in my measurements.

DNA Model and Earrings

Posted by Arianna Haven in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on

​My most important and interesting project that I have done this year was my DNA model and earrings.

Inquiry: In this project I wanted to learn about the different parts of the DNA and the different nitrogenous bases in it.

Research: I gathered information from websites and text books.

Collaboration: I completed this project with my classmates Reily and Hanna. Therefore, I collaborated on this project.

Presentation: What we did that was effective was the fact that we made an interactive piece of the project. We made a model as well as a pair of accurate DNA earrings. 

Reflection: If I were to redo this assignment I would keep it the same. I felt I did very well in exercising all of our core values in the process of this project.  

Microscopy Project: Ben Fink

Posted by Benjamin Fink in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on

Inquiry: When I completed this project with a group, we wanted to know how the cells of different kingdoms of organisms are organized and to see the similarities and differences between all of the kingdoms.

Research: We organized our information by using the microscope to examine the cells of each kingdom and found internet sources to distinguish each kingdom.

Collaboration: I was part of a community because I helped to gather up the necessary information and I described a few of the kingdoms.

Presentation: I think that our presentation was effective because we used photographs of the cells to emphasize what we learned.

Reflection: If I were to complete this project again, I might use organisms that can be seen without a microscope instead of micro-organisms.

Microscopy Portfolio- Team 5

Posted by Imani Weeks in Bio-Chem 9 - Sherif - C on

​Abstract-

In this lab different types of organisms were looked at through a microscope, and with the microscope, pictures were taken of the organisms. The central question is: what are the characteristics of different types of organisms? By looking at organisms through microscope their physical characteristics were learned and by researching them other types of characteristics were learned. By doing this it became apparent that organisms are all pretty different but they all share the same building block, cells.
