2003 - 2004 School Year
Religion >This is really the only religion work we have done in Technology this year. >It's a PowerPoint presentation of Vatican II, and I learned a lot about the church before changes were made. >PowerPoint is usually very easy, but because i spent a lot of time gathering information before being absent for one class, i didnt have as much time as i would have liked to polish this presentation. |
Language Arts We wrote essays using the Jane Schaffer method after we read the novel Johnny Tremain. I don't really like the Jane Schaffer format because it is very structured and I like to do what I feel like doing. However, this method does help with thought organization. |
Math >I chose this piece of work because I feel it demonstrates my abilities in Excel as well as using algebraic formulas. >From this assignment I learned about using a tool in Excel that uses formulas so that the computer does the work for you called AutoFill. >I found it interesting to see the differences in weight on different planets. >This was a 'quiz' on Excel & how well we knew how to use the AutoFill and Formula tools. >It is a fictional checking account in which we had to insert a list of deposits and debits to maintain the balance. >It may have taught those who either don't have or don't maintain their own checkbooks. |
Science >We did a project in Excel using data from Boyle's & Charles' Laws. >Boyle's law states that the volume and pressure of a gas react inversely. >Charles' law states that Temperature reacts directly with volume of gasses. >This is a slideshow we did in PowerPoint about a chemical element- my element was cadmium >We studied our assigned elements and did an oral presentation after completing the slideshows
>Random Fact: Cadmium is among the
lowest melting alloys. |
Social Studies >In this project, we had to make a timeline of events that lead up to and occurred during the Civil War. >There are five events plotted from before, and ten plotted during. >The Civil War lasted from 1861- 1865 |
