My Standard Paper...(Final Draft)

        What do you think of when matter and energy transformation comes to your mind? You are probably thinking about solids, liquids, and gases. These are the most common topics when someone thinks of matter and energy transformation.

         Inside matter, a solid acts like marbles. What I mean by marbles, is that since solid is in one state (does not move around like a liquid or gas) they stay together but with all of the energy they never stop moving in place. Matter is made up a few things, the most common is atoms. The atoms inside a solid are moving but not moving around. They are always touching each other.

   The only difference from solid to liquid is that liquid is “free”. If a liquid is in a glass it takes the shape of the glass, right? If you dump the water onto the counter, what will it do? It will lose the shape of the cup and become “free”. Since there are atoms in everything (matter) the atoms are always moving, sometime touching, but are always running around like “crazy people”! It’s funny if you think about it, liquid change when it is put into different but solids don’t.

    Gases are a little different on the other hand. A gas is always going different places, it hardly never stays together. The atoms inside a gas NEVER touch each other, because of how much free space there is. A gas is always moving because of the energy the atoms have to get in and out of a gas, to go into different properties of matter.

     Can you answer the question, “What do you think about when matter and energy transformation comes to your mind?” Solids, liquids, and gases are what I think about when matter and energy comes into my mind.

End of the Day...

•I have posted my Project Planning Form on my blog.
•I have posted my Standard Paper (Rough Draft) on my Blog.


If I had to rate myself on the PBL Work Habits, I would but me in between exceeds and meets expectations.  I also think that the PBL Work Habits doc will be a good way to grade ourselves everyday on our PBL projects now and in the future.

OHpedia Final Reflection..

• OH-Pedia Reflections...

 

       •This oh-pedia project was a lot of fun. I was happy to get one of the harder standards out of the way than having to do them later. It was important for me to get the concept of the PBL so that I know what I will be doing the rest of the year for PBL. 

       •I was never very confident about what I would do in school. When I did this project and look back on what I had done, I was very proud of myself. This process has helped me know that I can do good work.

       •When I did not have everyones oh-pedia lesson plan, I could not work on that when I needed to get it done. I became more patient than I thought I was but I still wanted to get it done so...

       •The thing that satisfied me the most was how my lesson turned out. I was very happy with what I did. And I learned a more than I had when making the lesson wiki.

       •Everything is this process was my "style". I mostly like making my own wiki. The benchmarks were the hardest out of all probably. I still had fun.

       •I will remember my wiki that I made because that was the best part of the process for me.
