Science Unit 2 Reflection

The essential question I chose to answer is “How does our body systems work together when we play our favorite sport?”

When you play basketball, your muscular and skeletal systems work together to help you shoot, dribble, and pass. These movements activate the muscles in your shoulders, arms, and wrists, and over time. Your circulatory and respiratory systems work together too. Basketball has a lot of back-and-forth between resting and working hard, which helps build cardiovascular fitness and makes sure your body gets enough oxygen even during intense plays. Mitochondria “powerhouse” of cell, grow larger to make more ATP, the energy that the muscles contractions, sprints, and jumps on the court.

This links to the core question by explaining how cells work together to form the body’s systems and how different types of cells help these systems function properly. The essential question I chose also shows how these body systems work together to let us play our favorite sports and carry out everyday activities.

Social Studies Unit 2: Essay 

In this essay, we were asked to write an essay about how a type of technology or transportation have an impact on society and the positive impacts and negative impacts, who fixed the negative, how, and was it successful.

One thing I think I did well is that I tried to write as much content and evidence as I can with only 3 short articles.

One thing I could do better is that I should use my time more efficiently.

Social Studies Unit 2: Visual Presentation

link for my presentation: IMG_0350.MOV

In this assignment, we were asked to make a project with a topic of “How did technology or communication impact the world?” I chose to make a Zeppelin model with card boxes and Starbucks cups because I allow audiences to look at the model closer 360 degrees.

One thing I thought I did well is that I tried my best to paint my model, trying to make it look clean and neat.

One thing to improve is that I should make my background information card look too plain? I should add more details and make it look more appealing for audiences to read.

Unit 3 Health Reflection

⬆This is our DECIDE model, it explains what you could do and options when you face a similar scenario like someone offers you drugs, alcohol or things that your not allowed to use and the consequences of doing each option, if you’re in a scenario where someone you’re close with offers you the drug, you would probably decline politely, and maybe tell a trusted adult.

⬆This is a presentation note I took from other groups, I learned that there’s different effects on each kind of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, if you kept drinking alcohol, it might lead to serious physical health issues, mental health disorders, dependency, social problems, and withdrawal symptoms if you attempt to stop. Lastly, if you kept smoking or vaping, you would end up with all kinds of health issues like trouble breathing, heart problems, higher cancer risk, a weaker immune system, and worse anxiety or depression.

Unit 3 Soccer Reflection

In this unit, we learned all about soccer, we learned how to pass, dribble, and shoot. While the most important, we learned how to work as a team, we played a bunch of fun matches and had a lot of fun. We communicated and supported each other during fun matches, building and celebrating our successes. Overall, it was a great experience that improved our game and made friends during the soccer unit.


PE Artistic Swimming Unit

In this PE unit on artistic swimming, we learned it’s all about teamwork. We practiced moving together, holding formations, and lifting each other in the water. At first, lifting was tricky, we’d mess up sometimes but we helped each other out. We cheered when someone got it right and slowed down if a teammate struggled. By the end, we got better at the sport, and we also learned to work together better. It was fun seeing how much we could do when we supported each other.

Unit 2 Portfolio Reflection

I used to assume that all wellness influencer on the internet was correct and trustable. I used to think that putting your face in ice water helps reduce puffiness. Since a famous influencer, Ashton Hall, started soaking his face in ice water in his videos, I thought that it would really work and reduce puffiness.

However, after we learned to evaluate health media, I think that not all of the “Hacks” on the internet would work. How can we know if a certain action or hack on the internet works? Try it? Of course not. Instead, we should see if the influencer has certain experience or medical approved, not just doing the action without any research or having a doctor/verified-wellness influencer’s suggestion.

In a partner group assignment, my partner and I researched if putting your face in ice water actually does not help with facial puffiness, we research from different verified-trustworthy-websites and found out that putting your face in ice water are only a temporary fix/treatments. They don’t really help with acne, nor dark spots, or aging. If you have sensitive skin or rosacea, they can make your skin feel even worse by causing more redness and irritation. And that’s why putting your face is not a good idea.

In the final presentation, these are some feedback we received.

PE Unit 2 Reflection

I managed to control the ball when it’s moving fast by getting into ready position, when the ball comes, try to hit it high so your teammates would most likely catch it. I maintained control by hitting the ball with my arm, not hand. However, one challenge I face is that my teammates often struggle to set a good ball for me. This can be frustrating, as it disrupts our rhythm and makes it harder for me to execute my plays. To address this, I’m focusing on improving communication with my teammates and practicing passing drills to enhance our overall coordination. With these efforts, I hope we can work together more effectively on the field.

Math Summary Sheet&Reflection

In this unit, we learned about proportional relationship and how we solve it. I understood how to solve questions involving proportional relationships. We had some interesting lessons and sometimes where we’re allowed to listen to our own music. A tricky thing I faced is that sometimes I forget to make the ratio from mixed numbers into improper fraction and that would cause some trouble in the end of the equation.
