MPM Reflection

    • Which of the 10 exhibits we visited was your favorite? Why?

Why do you think learning coding is important to your future? I think that coding is important because if your good at it then you’ll have a chance for it to be your future job. 

Using the Google operators that you are familiar with, please research and find an article that answers the question from Task 2. Copy and paste the link into your post. https://www.fastcompany.com/3060883/why-coding-is-the-job-skill-of-the-future-for-everyone 

READ the article. Then reflect on the article. Now I want to code even more and make even more awesome games. Coding makes you smarter in math, reading, etc etc. Computer programming jobs may be declining, but coding is becoming the most in-demand skill across industries.

 I think that coding is very fun.

Chicken Day 7

Group Roles (choose a different role than last time)

Materials Manager/Clean Captain: G

Chat Captain/Timekeeper: M

Picture Taker: S

Procedure Police/Reflector: Big O

 

List the EXACT procedure your group followed today. Be as specific as possible. We put our binders and chromebooks under the table and put some newspaper on the table. Then G went to a different group to bargain for some salt to mix with the baking powder and cinnamon. But we couldn’t get any salt. So G and M went down to the kitchen and asked the lunch ladies for some salt. They let us borrow their salt. G and M promised to give it back when they were done using it. Then we cleaned off the chicken and then poured some salt, baking powder and cinnamon into a tin and mixed it around for a little bit. After that, we put the chicken into that same tin and mixed it around a little more. Then we had to stuff the baking mixture, salt and cinnamon into the chicken.

Predator Pray Graph Q/A

*Explain the trend of increases and/or decreases for both the rabbit and wolf populations between the years 1930-1950.  When the wolf population goes up, it starts eating the rabbit population, but then the rabbit population goes into hiding and the wolves have nothing to eat. So then their population starts going down. So the rabbits attack the wolves and then the rabbit population starts going up.

*Look at the years 1987 and 1993. Explain your thinking as to why there is such a large difference in population numbers between those five years. Because that is wolves population starts going down and rabbits population starts going up.

Once the mold began to grow, how did the appearance of the mold change over time? The mold didn’t grow.

  1. Hopefully, when \we buy foods at a grocery store they are not moldy. What do you think food manufacturers do to foods to prevent the growth of mold?  (Hint! Using your Alan November research skills, try googling this answer. Be sure to include your source when you answer this on your blog.) They keep it in the fridge
  2. Many fungi are decomposers. What does this mean? (Hint! Think back to our discussions and research before break) fungi, worms and bacteiria are a certain kind of decmposer.
  3. Make a list of useful things fungi can do. (Hint! Think back to our discussions and research before break) They help cure certain types of cancer.

 

Find two classmates posts (must be in different mold terrarium groups) and make observations on the similarities and differences between your mold and theirs. Why do you think they look different? Why do they look the same? Both mine and D’s doesn’t have mold. D’s is lighter.
