HOW DID YOU IMPROVE
I improved in dribbling, I also improved a lot in defending, shooting and Improved in lots of ways.
WHAT WAS GOOD ABOUT THE UNIT
We got to do a lot of competitions, lots of fun drills and I also like being the goalie since I’ve always liked defending stuff

Yes because I like soccer and goalie
WHAT DID YOU WISH YOU DONE BETTER ON?
Probably dribbling
What did I do:
I set a smart goal to do an hour of homework everyday and I did barely manage to do it. It was specific because I normally don’t have a set amount if time to do homework, and it was realistic because I can do breaks and its not like one hour straight.
What Did I learn
I learned how to set a goal, and also to maintain focus for longer, and to be quiet and have a longer attention span , I learned that I can actually be focused for a long time, I also noticed that I could hand in homeworks in time too.
What Worked
The focusing for a long time worked really well because I could have a timer of thirty minutes beside me and when it beeps I just took a break for like ten minutes or so, and then set another time for thirty minutes and i’ll most likely be finished with all the homeworks by then
What did not work
The part that did not work is doing this constantly because I definitely did it once or twice a week but never a lot, and It would take a lot of practice to make it a habit.
Personal relevance
After all this smart goal experience was pretty fun to do and made me a bunch of new skills i didn’t know before.
We started by determining the relationship between the starting height of the rollercoaster and the success rate. We did that by making a rollercoaster model where we added loops and etc. Then we took data from the roller coaster that we made then we made a video out of it. In conclusion if the starting height of the roller coaster increases, then the success rate will increase too.
What did we do?
in the first class we chose our things to make, and to choose our ingredients, the second class we did task 4-5, then in day three we did task 6-7 and went to this website to see how much the ingredients cost. On day four we completed the remaining work, and today we started the bakesale.
What did we learn?
I learned how to calculate the unit cause, and also how to see how much a ingredients costs, how to measure using millimeters, cups, teaspoons, etc. and also how to cook rice treats!
What Worked
Making the rice treat worked really well, and also the calculations and selling went pretty smooth, and the total amount of the project went really well.
What did Not work
Most of the things worked, but some of stuff such as the amount of rice treats I made went bad because I only made 16 rice treats and half way through the bake sale I already sold out, and that is also when everybody started to come to my stand.
Personal relevance
I think I liked this project overall since I like cooking, especially cooking sweets, since it is challenging, and I also like going on websites and searching the costs and stuff.
Criteria:
The criteria was that I have to roll down a egg cart down a 2-3 meter long ramp, and then hit an brick and then make the egg not crack and we have an hour and 20 minutes to work on it.
How Newton’s law was seen here:
The third law was seen when the egg cart made impact with the brick, and made reaction. The first law was seem when the egg didn’t have inertia, so it flew forward into the crumple zone
Design
We made the design so that there are lot’s of room between the front of the car and the egg so that we can add scrap pieces of paper and make a crumple zone to make it that it doesn’t fly forward.
Improvements
I should have made the seatbelt more stable, and maybe wrapped the car around another time with paper, and maybe add more scrap paper to the crumple zone, and maybe made more space for the egg.
Personal
Now I know that the front part of the car, the crumple zone is very important for the safety since it helps the car take away motion so the person won’t fly forward and bump into a wall.
What did it do?
The balloon car is made of balloons, and plastic. the balloon made the cart able to move forward using the air inside, we used it to learn about newton’s 3rd law to boost itself with the reaction of the cart going forward and the first law to keep on going until an unbalanced force intercepts it.
What did I learn
I learned that a object at rest (The cart) tends to stay at rest, unless acted upon an unbalanced force(The balloon). That is the first law of motion, and also it goes with Newtons 3rd law, because the action is balloon blowing out air, and the reaction is the cart going.
What worked
The balloon car going forward in a straight line worked, and also going fast because the action was big, so the reaction will be enough to push the cart forward and keep on going because of newtons’ first law that something in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon an unbalanced force.
What did not work
It was a struggle when at the last few tries the tapes didn’t glue the balloon to the car so the air let out the wrong way and that made the balloon slow and change direction, and to solve this problem, we tried using a new tape, and glued the balloon back on in the right position.
Personal Relevance
The balloon cart was like a motorcycle, in the real world, when I let go of the balloon it was like starting the wheels on the motorcycle. I see newton’s third law of motion in real life when the wheels start turning, and the reaction is that the motorcycle moves forward. It is important to know that these laws help because transportation would be really hard with out these laws.
I am proud of my Riot Shield. I made it out of cardboard pieces. I used a big piece to make the base, and gradually made it more secure with cardboard pieces, and I carved a small hole at the top to make it so I can see. I am proud of it because it looks good, and it actually works.
What did I do:
I did experiments about magnets, and electricity, for example I rubbed a balloon on my head to make electricity.
What did I learn:
I learned about magnets, electricity and how they work, such as for electricity I can create some by just rubbing my head against a rubber surface .
What worked:
What worked was doing the magnetic experiments, and playing with it, because magnets are easier to handle then electricity.
What did not work:
What did not worked was doing the electric experiments, because my head does not have enough electricity.
Personal relevance:
Today’s learning will help me get better at future experiences with electricity, or magnets.
Reflection
WHAT DID I WORK ON?
I worked on making a presentation and persuading an I.O.C member, I also
worked on searching on different webpages such as Brittanica,
CultureGrams, Statista, etc. And worked on searching for information about
why Toronto should host the winter Olympics.
WHAT DID I LEARN?
I learned to make a PPT, and research on different webpages. I also learned
how to persuade people better and to work with a partner better, I also
learned that to make a good presentation you just need a title, a picture, and a
description.
WHAT WORKED?
The presentations worked well, it’s just that I stared at the screen. and the
meet ups with my partner worked out. We also got some practice in, also
memorizing the script by reading it a lot worked out well.
WHAT DIDN’T WORKED?
There was some stuff that didn’t work out, for example I memorized the
script. But I kept looking at the screen because I thought there was a mistake. Also, I didn’t really put a lot of time into it because I had lots of classes.
PERSONAL RELEVANCE?
My personal relevance is that I think that I memorized the script well. But
next time I think I should just tell myself I did well and just keep on speaking
and not worry about my screen.
