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.

Safest Place in America Essay

Cleveland, Ohio is the safest place in America. Cleveland, Ohio is free from tsunamis, most earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, blizzards, and tornadoes.Cleveland, Ohio only has small earthquakes that don't ruin anything just a little shake and thats all.But Ohio's average magnitude is 0.16. Cleveland also has no wildfires because Cleveland has cold weather that can't sustain a wildfire. Tornadoes do occur in Ohio, but they occur in rural areas around the areas away from the city. Cleveland, Ohio is a city, not a rural area. Hurricanes don’t occur in Ohio. None has occurred in a long, long time. And over the past years, there has only been one single one. Ohio is usually always missed by most hurricanes, and very few hurricanes actually occur close to Cleveland.

The reason Cleveland, Ohio is free of Tsunamis is because Tsunamis are unable to reach Ohio. Even the lowest grounds in ohio are too high for a tsunami to reach. Tsunamis need an earthquake to form most of the times. But Ohio does go through earthquakes, But Ohio has very small earthquakes and these small earthquakes can't cause a Tsunamis.The Biggest earthquake in the history of Ohio was only 5.4, and after that no other earthquake that big happened again, and that 5.4 earthquakes didn't even cause a Tsunamis!! The proof that shows that Tsunamis need earthquakes to have a Tsunamis is the 7.0 recent earthquake in Japan that gave birth to a tsunami.

Cleveland, Ohio is unable to have wildfires because of Cold weather. The weather is normally cold and Cleveland, Ohio does not have much plants or crops to burn.Unlike California, there is no drought so there is plenty of rain and if there is not a drought that means no wildfires. Cleveland has been a city and cities don't go through wildfires. Wildfires are fueled by dry plants and crops.Cleveland is a city so there are not much plants and crops to burn. But in a rural area there are tons of wildfires.

Earthquakes can occur in Cleveland, and also they can occur in the rest of Ohio. There is not a fault in Ohio that can create a big Earthquake.No Fault goes down to Ohio. The largest earthquake in history of Ohio is a 5.4 earthquake.Ohio has not had a bigger earthquake since then. Ohio’s current earthquake average is around 2.0 to 3.0. No earthquake in Cleveland causes much damage. There is no fault that goes through Ohio as I said before.There aren’t many earthquakes in Ohio anyways. All of Ohio has around 6 - 7 per year, and they don’t have magnitudes over 2.

 I think that Cleveland,Ohio is the safest place because it is free from tsunamis, most earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, blizzards, and tornadoes.Cleveland,Ohio only has small earthquakes that don't ruin anything just a little shake and that's all. The weather conditions in Cleveland,Ohio are safe and don't cause natural disasters. So the only wildfire there is to be made is the ones caused by human carelessness.

I learned that Cleveland,Ohio is free from Hurricanes,Wildfires, and tornados. Its free because Cleveland,Ohio is like a city so the winds won't be able to form in the city Tornados only form in flat areas where the wind can start swirling around.Cleveland,Ohio is not a place where there can be wildfires because its a city and theres no place really that is dry because Cleveland,Ohio is a city.And there are no Hurricanes because Cleveland,Ohio is not near any oceans however it is close to the border between Canada and the United States.Thats why my group says its the safest place in america.

S&EP 4- Analyzing And Interpreting Data
I Analyzed and Interpreted my data by collecting facts for Cleveland,Ohio.I also Analyzed and Interpreted by writing down other facts about other places in Ohio.

SUMMARY

I learned that earthquakes happen when underground rock suddenly breaks along a fault.And this make the ground shake.Places that this could most likely happen in are in Nevada and California.It happen in California because it is located fairly close to the San Andreas fault which slides across California.This form a plate tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. Lets say there is a 2.5 earthquake in California.But 4 months later a 3.5 earthquake comes. I know the every earthquake after the other one is ten times bigger so the 3.5 is 10 times bigger and more dangerous.

SP 8
I found this information because we had to get information from websites on worksheets.And we had to record this with a partner.We would both look at a website and the have a conversation on what to put down on the paper. And we figured out that most earthquakes are prone to happen in California and Nevada rather than any place else.

SUMMARY

The most places prone to wildfires is California,Texas,Oregon,Idaho,Florida and Washington. Also 4 out of 5 wildfires are caused by human carelessness.Wildfires tend to spread quickly and fast because the wind.A hurricane is created in 5 different steps. Step One, a hurricane needs ocean water as warm as 80 degrees fahrenheit which provide more energy for the hurricane. Step 2, winds come together forcing air upwards. Step 3, Winds flow out once they reach the top of the storm allowing the air below to rise. Step 4, Air that is humid rises forming the storm clouds. Step 5, Light winds outside the hurricane guide it and let it grow bigger and bigger.

SP 8
I was finding information about various natural disasters on a worksheet.And we had to find out the geographic occurrence,where it is prone to be,and we had to explain what it is and I worked with a partner and we inferred about what should go in what.Because our teacher has to approve it so we can move on to the next one.
