PLastic Food Wrap
Posted on 1/29/2010 11:09 PM by Josh
I was required due to my project requrments to test if brand name is a suitable measure for plastic food wrap durability. It turned out that that was incorrect, some of the most popular nationwide plastic food wrap brands were just as successful as some low level store brand names. I needed to make sure that my method of testing was the same every single time in order to have accurate results. Those were to make sure I had the same amount of plastic wrap on each test subject, make sure I did not allow the ice wrapped up in the plastic to melt, and to make sure I constructed each test subject the same so that one will not melt faster than the other.

My testable question was "Which projectile will go the farthest when launched from a catapult?" To test this question I had to build a catapult and then test with 3 projectiles, a sphere, an ellipsoid, and a cube. I needed a controlled contraption and environment to set up for an accurate experiment. So I had to build a catapult and set up my testing environment.

Architecture, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Pre European, Colonial, Victorian, and the Gothic Eras. Thesis: Humans create, and what they create comes from feeling which comes from an action or something that has happened. Since people are directly effected by the economy, government, social concerns and geography, a lot of their feelings come from what has happened in those specific areas. So, architecture is a reflection of the social, governmental, economical and geographical structure of a given country, which means each country/continent has their own specific style of architecture.

illustrators, news photographers) communicate information and affect impressions and opinions.
Persuasive Techniques:
Statistics
Appeal to Authority
Appeal to Noble Cause
Appeal to Reason

Our dependence on fossil fuels and forein oil have led us to an energy deficit that many would believe is a trench we cannot climb our way out of. But history has a secret. In civilizations as ancient as Pompeii, brilliant minds have found a way to utilize the resources of the Earth to our own advantage. Geothermal energy, coming from the Greek roots "Geo", meaning Earth and "Thermal" meaning heat, harnesses the heat trapped deep inside of the Earth's crust and turns it into a renewable and sustainable energy source. There are many different systems, generators and turbines that can collect the heat and create electricity. Geothermal energy is a renewable resource, meaning that we can use it over and over again without ever having to worry about running out. The power plants used do not take up much space, and it is also inexpensive because wedo not need to import it. Because the heat is stored directly in the crust prior to extraction, it can be found practically anwhere. However, areas with high tectonic activity are the most prime location. Because it is so plentiful, the potential as an energy source is immense. In 1904, the first electricity from this source was created in Larderello, Italy, and since that time about 7,000 megawatts have been generated in 21 countries around the world. America's efforts have led to the production of 2,700 megawatts. This geothermal energy amounts to saving sixty million barrels of oil per year. (Geothermal Education Office) How can we use this energy? Electricity, of course, but also agriculture, heating and industrial uses as well.

Effects of Patterns of Immigration
Posted on 6/12/2008 4:35 PM by Hailey, Keally, Toby, Will
Immigration is and will always be a key factor in the mixing and co-mingling of cultures, laws and written codes, languages, societal structures, and religion.
The Four Steps of the Process:
1. Inspiration- This was the first part, where we all created sub-sections of the grander aspect, which was the numerous effects of immigration throughout history, and formed a stable thesis.
2. Storyboard- The four of us collaborated, using Google Presentations, and formed a rough outline of each part of our documentary, having split up the work so each person had an equal amount of work to do. This also included various pictures, located through diverse sites, some of which never even made it into the documentary.
3. Essay/Script- Using what we had learned through the project thus far, and conducting additional research if needed, each person in our group wrote an essay surrounding our thesis, with factual evidence to support the statement. From each of the essays, we were able to then extract the main points about each example of immigration and create a script, which would then be read as a voice-over for the documentary.
4. Movie- The final portion of the process, creating and editing the movie, took the most amount of time and focus. We used relevant pictures and music to support our thesis and supporting paragraphs, and then recorded one of our group member's voices to place over the visual and auditory presentation. After the initial compilation, we edited the movie and added final touches. Our presentation was then ready to publish to the internet.

Shared Natural Resources
Posted on 6/12/2008 4:29 PM by By Alex, Daniel, Jessica, and Tessa
There were four steps in this project. First, as a group, we created a graphic organizer. We chose to do a PowerPoint. Then we made a storyboard, in which we organized the pictures into the way we wanted the movie to be. In the next step, each of us created an essay that would later be combined to create a script. Finally, we put together our documentary. All of it came together, the information, the pictures, and the script. We recorded our script over the movie, and that is the process our class used to create these movies.
Our thesis is:
Throughout the ages, in many different places, people have had to make do with the few natural resources of their land, sharing with each other. The lack of sufficient natural resources to easily support people and societies can be seen as a pattern in history, in places such as Rome, the Silk Road, Japan, and Africa.
The standards for our documentary were from 6th and 7th grade.
6.6 #7 (Students analyze the significance of the Silk Road)
6.7 (Students analyze the development of Ancient Rome)
7.4 (Students analyze the civilizations of Medieval Africa)
7.5 (Students analyze the civilizations of Medieval Japan)

Religion-Influenced Desicions
Posted on 6/12/2008 11:54 AM by Ryan, Matt, Sab, and Brett
The thesis our group had for our movie was that though religion can be a great force for good, when taken too far, to an extreme, it can become a terrible force for destruction. In order to produce the final product playing to the left, we followed a four-step process. At the same time, this four-step process had to be completed by four group members who were each in a separate class, presenting yet another obstacle. The first step in this process was to create a graphic organizer, a basic outline for how we wanted the movie to work. It was mostly pictures, with only a few blocks of text to explain some of the photos. The next step was to create a more detailed form of the graphic organizer, a storyboard. This included more text than the organizer, almost the full movie, just not in a video format. The last thing we had to do before we could start the movie was write a script, so that we would know what we needed to say in the movie. After that, the final step was to actually create the movie, by uploading all of the images to iMovie and then recording the audio to go with it. Our movie, after it was complete, addressed many History Standards from many different grades. These include: 6.3, 6.7, 7.2, 7.6, 7.8, 7.9, 10.1, 10.10, and 11.9.

#4 Grey Group: Hate Crimes, Now and Then
Posted on 6/11/2008 5:24 PM by Dana, Daniel A, Joel, and Miranda
In making the documentary, we first made a graphic organizer describing how each topic in the documentary was linked together. Then we made a basic storyboard to lay out a plan on how each scene in the movie would work with one another. We then came up with our script; this involved each one of us writing a narrative essay on our topic, and taking snippets out of each to form the script. After this, using pics mostly found on the web, we made our documentary using iMovie.
Our movie primarily describes hate groups and their effect on society throughout history. The definitive thesis is: History has seen hate groups of many kinds that have risen in different time periods, places, and cultures. They have each been influential to many others, and have helped hate and discrimination evolve and grow, even doing so in today's society. Their ideals and methods have been repeated throughout history, each having been tied together with similar motives towards different groups of people.
Standards addressed are 7.9.7, 8.11.4, and 10.8.5.

Civil Rights Activists
Posted on 6/11/2008 3:15 PM by Aaron, Benjamin, Brooke, and Caitlin
This historical documentary was made between 4 different class periods. We used programs on the internet (google products) that allowed us to collaborate and work together as a team. In this project we had to follow 4 steps that would help us understand the process of movie making and our pattern in history. First we graphically organized our subject of civil rights activists so that we could gather pictures and understand our thesis. Then we made a storyboard of what our movie would look like when we were finished in it. After that we scripted our story so that we knew what we would say and finally we turned our pattern in history into a video. Our thesis in this subject was that throughout history civil rights activists have had a positive effect in history. The standards that we addressed were:
1. 7.6 Students analyze the geographic, political, economic, religious, and social structures of the civilizations of Medieval Europe.
2. 8.6 Students analyze the divergent paths of the American people from 1800 to the mid-1800s and the challenges they faced, with emphasis on the Northeast.
3. 8.9 Students analyze the early and steady attempts to abolish slavery and to realize the ideals of the Declaration of Independence.
4. 11.10 Students analyze the development of federal civil rights and voting rights.
