Tecnology(Forensics)

1. A brief summary of the topic. What is it? What field of research does it fall under?
Forensic science is when physical evidence is collected to determined what happened with something, when did it happen, where did it happen, and who did it. This falls under Technology because in order to have Forensics or do forensics we need technology.

2. What's the big deal with this topic? Why should you care about its developments and any new discoveries that are made?
The big deal with this topic is that we need forensics in murders,robberies, or just any old mystery. Forensics gives us all the physical evidence from the scene. It gives people closer and helps us serve justice in knowing what happened even though someone wasn't there to witness the whole thing. We should care about all the discoveries made because as time goes on the technology in forensics get more advanced so that they could test more things and do more things to solve the unsolved and even go back to mysteries that are decades old.

3. What's going to happen to this topic in 2010?
People are going to make more discoveries and find more ways to test physical evidence a discovery forensic scientist have made so far is that there is a way you can identify someone with just their eyeball itself.

4. What obstacles or setbacks are in the way of this topic's success?
Sometimes a piece of evidence is too small or there is just not enough evidence at all top solve a case. Or sometimes witnesses have died and all the evidence have been long gone.

TT REFLECTION

Reflection

Project Description:The Time Travelers project is a project where you learn about an ancient civilization with a group of three other people and understand why that civilization no longer needs then come together as a group and decide whether they needed a boat, trebichet, or water system. Then send that tool back to the past.



Process:The project The Time Travelers is a project where in our groups we have to research a civilization. Each member in a group has their own pillar to reasearch either government,religion, art and technology, or architecture. After researching your specific pillar you come together with your group and share all your information. Next you write ab essay about your civilization. At the end of all this you and your group decide all together whether your civilization needs a trebuchet, boat, or a water system to have survived. After knowing what to send back t o your civilization you then will construct your tool and send it back to the past.

SEMESTER GOALS

1. I would like to take the time really try to write something nice in WEX and really get into it.

2.I would like to have mastered the paragraph format.

3.I would like to ask one question and raise my hand once a day.

PILLAR REFLECTION

Project Description:
- What was the assignment? Describe it here.
The Pillar assignment was to paint something based on your specific pillar from the Time Travelers project on your pillar section.

Process: - What steps did you take to get to the final product?
First I looked up what I wanted to paint. I sketched it out. Drafted it and revised it to the way I wanted. Got it approved by a teacher and started sketching it out on my pillar chose some paint colors and started painting.

Reflection: - What did you learn?
I learned about the different weaponry my civilization made and used.
- What challenges did you encounter?
One of the challenges I encounted would have to be painting the different weapons a different way with different colors and texture because they were basically all made from the same material.
- What would you do the same or different?
What I would do differently is putting in a little more character to my piece and not having it so plain and bland.
- How will this help you later?
This will make my piece popout more and hopefully be more jaw dropping and eye opening.

ESSAY REFLECTION

Project Description:

- What was the assignment? Describe it here.

The assignment for this particular part of the Time Traveler project was to set up and essay about your ancient civilization in general. In this essay we needed to include why our civilization was successful or not. It also needed to have where they were located , how long they lived for, what were they good for, and what kind of people they were.

Process:

- What steps did you take to get to the final product?

The first step was to research about your civilization . Next you were to specify on your pillar. Next put your essay together in a correct format. Then have peers edit it. Make the changes that were necessary. Have another peer member edit it. Make any final corrections before having it checked by the the teacher. Then go over the teachers notes and make adjustments. Next turn it in for your final grade.

Reflection:

- What did you learn?

I learned how to put together an essay format. I always learned how to put together a paragraph in a TEA format which is topic, evidence, and analysis. I also learned that the Ancient Kushite Kingdom were the first kingdom of Africa.

- What challenges did you encounter?

The hardest challenge that I encountered would have to be giving evidence. Another challenge was tying my paragraph together and creating a thesis. I just couldn't get the concept of staying on one subject.

- What would you do the same or different?

What I would do differently is looking over my final more so I know what I just about to turn in is all that I can produce.

- How will this help you later?

This will ensure me that it is my best work. & I have everything that is required and nothings left out.

A HERO IN MY EYES REFLECTION

1. Answer the essential question how does a hero become a hero?
By being a remodel and having good morals.

2. Project Description: What was the Hero in My Eyes project? Use your own words to describe it.
We had to think back to a heroic moment and who was the hero in that moment then we had to interview that person. Next we had to create something called a character sketch and that is basically like a written picture where you write about a moment where your hero was being heroic using showing not telling.

3. Process: What steps did you take to get to the final product? (Be honest about meeting or not meeting deadlines and how that affected the process.)
First we had choose our hero and pick one moment where they were being heroic. Next we had to come up with 10 fat questions. Then we had to interview that person. Next we had to make a character sketch. Then we had to get two pictures of our hero one had to be a symbolic picture. Then we had to plug everything into a template. To be honest I didn't get my pictures in on time nor did I do my template on time. This hurt me because by not getting my pictures in on time my template was incomplete for a while.

4. Reflection: What did you learn? What challenges did you encounter? What would you do the same or different? How will this help you later?
I learned how to create someone character by telling about something they did to be the way the are. The challenges that I encountered were having to show not tell in my witting. What I would do differently is I would have put deeper thought into my character sketch because I didn't really show his emotion. It will help me later by helping m,y reader visualize my person.

5. Habits of Mind: Pick one of the six HOMs (Habits of Mind) and describe how you used it in this project. The six HOMs are: Innovation, Wonder, Ownership, Mindfulness, Perspective, and Evidence.
I used evidence because I gave different scenarios to where he was showing how I see him.

6. Artifact: Link to the blog post where you posted your final hero character sketch. Make sure it is a working link.

A HERO IN MY EYES

“He’s Like a Second Father to Me”

"Though I have never been helped in my times of need, I still feel compelled to help people in their trying times in life."

Are the words from my uncle my second father. He cares more for others than he cares for himself. He makes sure his loved ones are taken care of before him. He makes sure everyone’s safe, healthy, and secure before he is. When I needed to get new clothes and school supplies for school. He took me out and bought me every piece of clothing that I needed. Then he took me to Staples and went through almost every aisle getting everything that was on my list of supplies and he made sure I had extras. He took a whole day off just to do that for me whom he calls his "little princess". I always wondered to myself why would he do this? All he had for himself were three daily outfits and about five dress up and go out outfits. When I asked why he didn’t go shopping for himself he said, "As long as I’ve got you and your aunty there's no need to go out and get new things unless they were falling apart and I was dieing". When he said that my heart ached just a tad I didn't know if I was sad or thankful. All I could do was hug him and tell him that I loved him a whole lot. I couldn't understand why he was like that but it felt good knowing that I've had him my whole life. Every time he picks me up and my other little cousins, the first thing he asks us is if we ate yet. If we hadn't eaten he'd ask us what we'd like to eat and it was always up to me what the final decision was.

He always said "I don't mind where we eat it's all on you". I'd laugh because it was like he gave me full control at least that’s what I'd to think. This one time when I chose to go to some taco shop and they didn't take card he saw that he had only a little amount of cash and it would only buy about four meals and there was five of us kids he told us to order what we wanted and that he wasn't hungry.

"Uncle, are you sure? I'll share with you" I said.

"Its okay princess I'm not that hungry I'll just eat what you guys can't finish" he said with no hesitation.

I hurried up and ate half of my meal then said I was full and I couldn't eat anymore and I couldn't move. When inside it was a little itty bitty meal and I wasn't even close to being full. I handed it over to him and as I watched him eat it I felt good. I couldn't have someone I love starve and watch me eat after they bought me the very meal I was chowing down I had to do something. & I did it and it made my day.

ZERO

What strikes you about the articles?
It's just very intriguing to find out how one number started and how it changed as it traveled to other countries and how weird and very diverse the number zero became to look like it had very little to no similarities.

How do we decide who discovers what?
Well who ever has the first form of evidence showing they discovered it then that's who discovered it.

Who really discovered zero?
Well to be honest I don't really know who first discovered the number zero but in the article it says the Mesopotamia's did in 3 b.c.

Is it the person who came up with the concept of zero or the person who discovered the actual number? I think it's the person who actually came up with the number zero is the person who discovered it because they were the ones to finalize it.


And how did the entire world come to a consensus without an efficient means of communication? Because there are people who migrate to different places and from that they take on the concept of zero to where ever they go and where they are they adapt in the concept of zero and create their own zero.

Literary Devices.

Catching the signal from one of her friends, Angela brushed her skirt, took a deep breath and walked towards where he was sitting. She seen the most beautiful looking god. He was as handsome as Prince Charming. She sat next to him giving a look that woukd only be recieved by someone you crush on. He smiled at her and held her hand. For a while they said nothing to eachother. Untill Mr.Prince Charming said, "Angela?".

"Yes?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
Her face started to turn rosy red. Where their hands met started to cry out sweat.
"Of course Brad I would absolutely love to be your girlfriend."

Sensory detail:Sound

The baby crys and hollers desperately wanting to be heard. With it's tiny eyes closed shut it waits for something even just the slightest sound to come travel into it's ittyy bitty ears. The baby won't stop crying untill it knows it's been heard. The baby feels it's all alone and and feels no ones paying any attention. It feels stuck not being able to move it's legs dangling and arms by its face. The frustration of the child brings small drops over tears. Tears dripping to it's ears. Face becoming pink then darkening with little veins starting to sprout. Fist balled up nails digging deep it it's palms. A ring of whiteness where it's finger tips met with it's flesh. Eyes squinted so tightly creating little bags under them. It trys to reach out for help peacfuly but it can't. It takes another route to scream and begg as loud as it possibly can. Mouth opening with a tiny cry for help then closing then repeating untill it's all out of sounds. When it finds that no ones listening it curls up into a little ball and restest.

The Locker Problem

Numbers are left open is because, they are the numbers that have multiples of square roots or the amount of factors are odd. The pattern was that before every open locker there were two more closed lockers then the section before it. So for example there are ten lockers and locker one is open then tow and three are closed. Then locker 4 is open and five, six, seven, and eight are closed. This pattern goes on until the number of closed lockers add up to 961 and we are left with only 31 lockers open. Since we started off with 1,000 lockers both amounts of closed and open lockers should add up to 1,000.

Favorite Fictional Heroes.

My favorite super heroes are the Power Puff Girls because they're adorable little things. They also have a nice bond even though they are so very different. They keep it together to save the world. Plus I use to always watch their show way back then. My favorite one was Blossom because, she was like the leader of the pack she basically kept everything together. Also she was red! What special about the power puff girls is that they are just kids saving the world and it shows that even if your still a child if you cooperate with other kids you could get something done efficiently. It goes to show that kids are capable of changing lives to.

What is Mysics?

What Is Math?
Math to me is everything with numbers. Also everything that has to do with parting and piecing something, giving away, and taking something.

What is Physics?
It's everything that has to do with science about, liquid, matter, mass, solids,and gas.

What Is Physics?
Physics is math and physics combined.
