Charity Fair Project Blog

This was originally mine
 


Summary
We had a charity fair in which we had to make a product and them find a charity that we thought was important to donate money to.And we get the money by making the product and then selling it at a mini fair at my school.And then we would have to make a Carbon Footprint,Cost & Profit,and a Persuasive speech and put that in our presentation.And I made with my group homemade candy bags with Lollipops,Gummies,Mints,Chocolate covered Pretzel sticks and Rice Krispies.
Backward-Looking: 
Have you done a similar kind of work in the past (earlier in the year or in a previous grade; in school or out of school)?

Yes I have done done this similar kind of work its actually the same one but with a different product. I've done it in 5th grade and I made hand made knit bags with holiday cards,and a egg roll in them.But we never had to do a carbon foot print. This year they added it and they also added that the whole school can only donate to one charity. Which means we would have to sort of compete to make our charity the one to get all the money.
Inward-Looking: 
What was especially satisfying to you about either the process or the finished product?

What was satisfying was to see our whole product come together all the yummy candy in a bag none we raw or uneatable and they we well made. What was also satisfying was that we actually worked as a team to do our work we never had a fight on who does what. What we actually did was make a To- Do list for each of us.
Outward-Looking: 
If someone else were looking at the piece, what might they learn about who you are?

They would learn that I am creative and artistic. They would know this because I put a little christmas light decoration on the top border of our board. And I also made the gummies holiday themed. So the one thing they learned about me in this board is that I am artistic.
Forward-Looking: 
One thing I would like to improve upon is ...

One thing I would like to improve on is that I want the stuff we do in our group to be in a orderly fashion and not rushed or last minute. Because in this project everything besides the food was almost last minute and it was sort of rushed. And when things are rushed they don't come out that good but I think we did a satisfying project. And this caused us to leave the rice krispies second food DIY without captions. So this is one thing I would like to improve on for my next project. So for the next project hopefully nothing will be last minute.

What I did this week is that I had to find a good combination for a hole in the park.The park had rain which eroded away lots of dirt leaving a hole in the park. So we had to find combinations of different types of soil combinations to try to get the one to cover the hole and stay there. We also did our charity fair     Carbon Footprint which is basically finding where all our stuff that we use comes from like China,Europe,Germany etc.

S&P 1 Asking Questions And Defining Problems
  We were asked to find where our products came from and we had to find the manufacture and the country it was located.  And we just had to look up the name of the  Item name + country + manufacture. And on top of that we would have to find the place where the manufacture is located and how long it takes to come here in kilometers. And I have to define that problem because my group would have trouble with it.

                                                         SUMMARY

Soil is the one of the most important resource's. Obviously soil is under us so we have no idea how important it is to us and the ecosystem.Almost all of our food rely's on soil to grow.In class I read that there are 7 different types of soils and they are the Tundra Soils Northern Forest Soils,Prairie Soils,Mountain Soils,Southern Forest Soils, Desert Soils,and Tropical Soils.



SP4: Analyzing And Interpreting Data


I used a spreadsheet to collect data about soil. My group and I analyzing are in the process of analyzing what a "critter" does to help the soil and what it eats. We have used a spreadsheet that our teacher gave us.This spreadsheet lets us put in so things we found to answer some questions about soil. And we learned most of the "critters" are microscopic after analyzing our data.
