​During the 4th quarter in our Physics class we were assigned to do a 10% time project. This project would be one where we would dedicate "10%" of our time on doing something physics related or something that related to science in general. I chose to make a presentation on my understanding of the hot topic in cosmology and theoretical physics, String Theory. I was inspired after watching a lecture from Brian Greene, a physicist, who explained why our universe is "fined tuned for life." I concluded from his answers that we have lives to live all thanks to our strings! My process was a bit simple, as I continued to research and read new articles published on String Theory so I could overall better my understanding. I wanted to present to my peers, and others a potential candidate for the "Theory of Everything," an idea which outlines all of the forces and laws of physics in the known universe. I did have several contacts during the research portion of my project, some which have not yet responded with answers. For the future I plan to keep following the developments of String Theory well into my college days, hopefully becoming one of the scientist who may pitch in an idea or two!

​For our Physics class we needed a topic. For this project, I chose to talk about it's history. I'm usually a history buff, and science has never really been my thing. Since, I love history and was given a lot of freedom in choosing what I can do; I chose to make a website about the history of physics. My website documents, the "founding fathers" of physics(i.e Galileo, Newton) and what they did and accomplished in the field of science and how it has changed they way people view the world because of it. I look at major parts of Ancient physics, from Aristotle to gravity. I used Weebly to try and do this, I thought Weebly was a cool application and it was very easy to use. Overal, I really enjoyed this project!!

​In our science class we took on the concept of a 10% project. Where an individual spent 10% of their time making something that interests them. For my 10% project I read a Sci-Fi book and looked at the scientific concepts behind it. The book I read was "The Andromeda Strain" by Michael Crichton. The book was about an extraterrestrial bacteria strain later named Andromeda comes to earth and devastates a town. Luckily a program was organized for this specific incidence called "Wildfire". Scientists then work hard to figure out what this thing is and how it works before it can cause public panic or devastation. After finishing the book I made a Powerpoint looking at the scientific theories and processes in the book. One of the most notable is the process of identifying, processing, and curing an unknown illness. One of the theories that played a big role is the odd man hypothesis. Both explaining the process of doing efficient scientific research and various forms of testing and experimentation. I furthered my knowledge by exploring the realm of biological warfare and incidences. This included the bio-chemical attacks rainbow agent attacks on Vietnam and the Anthrax Scare in 2001.
