I did the rollercoaster video and I included a lot of my informations
What did I work on?
In this unit I worked on the prehistoric iceman Ötzi, we did a mock trial, and we had to say if Ötzi was murdered or not, I was a reporter. What I had to do was to report what they were saying and write it into an article and we also worked on the open and closed sentences.
What did I Learn?
I learned about a 5300-year-old well-preserved mummy called Ötzi; I know that he had a lot of health issues and diseases, for example Lyme disease, Peptic ulcers, and bad teeth which caused him to have heart attacks, also we learned how to use open and closed sentences.
What Worked Well?
What worked well was that my article was very good and I had a lot of time to finish the article, and I wrote enough and the article was very clear. Also, the pictures that I took in the mock trial were very clear and can be used, and I had good text and information for my article.
What did not work?
What did not work was that in my article the picture of Ötzi was blurry. Also the pictures that I took most of them had other random people’s faces in the pictures. And I had a bit to much same pictures which makes the pictures all the same.
Personal Reverence
I practice how to report stuff, it will help me get more information. And is a very important role. It’s important for my future for when I’m writing an article I can go interview people that can know the subject a lot.
What did I do?
Me and my class did the egg car challenge, what we had to do was keep the egg in the car safe and not cracked after a ramp, we had the materials: tape, wheels, straw, and 3 sheet of paper, me and Fiona first we made the base which was a long paper, after we cut the straw to two small pieces and put it to the tires, after we use tape to stick it to the paper, after, we made a cylinder and put the egg in it and lastly, we added crumple zones.
What did I learn?
I learned Newton’s laws, for example when the egg car stops the egg in it doesn’t want to stop so it would fly out, but if we add a crumple zone then it would make the crash smaller, I also learned that if the car is moving then the friction force is smaller and the applied force is more.
What worked?
What worked was that the egg only cracked a little bit, also the speed worked our egg car was very fast which we achieved our goal on speed, also the wheels we removed the rubber thing which helped on the speed but also fixed the problem that the egg car would just stay at the top or stop in the middle and other problems.
What did not work?
What did not work was that our base was to light which is a problem because the washer and the egg would make it collapse, so the egg would crack a little bit, also our crumple zone was not good which didn’t help that much on the stop.
Personal relevance
I now know that we should add crumple zones and a good and strong base but as well as a good wheel because wheel can help on moving, but we also need to add airbags and seatbelts, I like this egg car challenge a lot.
What did I do?
I did the balloon cart challenge where we use a balloon, 4 pairs of wheels, 2 straws, tape, and a plate, and we did tournaments of who’s balloon cart was built better and could go the farthest, but me and Jayden got cooked at the second round because the air was not enough and plus the air was coming out of the balloon which stopped at half.
What did I learn?
We learn about Newtons first, second, and third law, the first law was about an object that wants to stay at rest unless acted by something, Newtons second law is the law of acceleration, which is F=MA (Mass), Newtons third law is about a action reaction for example, when a car is moving the applied force is way more than the friction force but the gravitational force and the normal force remains the same.
What worked?
What worked was that after learning Newtons third law and second law me and Jayden changed our balloon cart we changed the small paper straw to a big plastic straw it helped a lot because we could put more air and the air wont come out that much, but after we started to add weights which is starting to short the length but it still go far.
What did not work?
What did not work was that when we started to add weight the length that it used to go shortened like 20 percent so me and Jayden are still trying to let it go farther even with 6 washers.
Personal Refrence
The balloon cart was like a real car in the real world.
I see Newton’s third law when in real life when I see a car moving
It is important to know these Laws because it helps people know what will happen if they see cars or even stuff in life.

What did I do
I did Indi cars and gravitrax and I did critical thinking skills
What did I learn?
I leaned how to build gravitrax and I had to use my critical thinking to make a very good gravitrax.
What worked?
What worked was that the gravitax was very fast and good
What did not work?
What didn’t work was that the Indi cars were always in the wrong direction
Personal revelence?
Todays learning will help me know how to play gravitrax and Indi cars
What did I work on?
I worked on the Olympic flag and the introduction for our presentation and focused on the criterions of food and transportation. I also worked on the script and the ppt, also creating 4 criteria
What did I learn
I learn a lot of history about the Olympics also by learning what are criteria and what are criteria global events exist because global events help people and athletes go to the world and have more races and have more fun.
What worked
My intro worked very well, my intro helped our ppt a lot, and my introduction had a lot of detail which helped me with having more words to say because if you had more words to say you would have a better intro and have more things to say.
What did not work
Something that did not work well is I’m losing eye contact and the criterion transportation I wrote to less and had to less information because I didn’t have time to write more and I can’t think of any more evidence on why is Transportaion very important for a country that’s hosting
Personal relevance
This important for my future because if I didn’t know then it’s not respecting Greece and its culture so, we need to know the history about the Olympic or else we would not know anything, and do not know what to do if we are in the Olympics.
In this unit I learned how to do back hand and smashing the ball.
Its fun and I got to compete with a lot of other people, I never played ping pong so I improved a lot.
I faced the challenge of always hitting the ping pong out of the table, Im looking for next years unit because I can play it again which is very fun.
What I hope for me to improve is not hitting the ball out of the table.
Im proud that I know how to play ping pong.
Im looking forward for the ping pong unit next year.
Why have a digital portfolio at SAS?
Creating a portfolio, or blog is a great way to collect all the work you’ve done throughout your academic career. You can include academic, athletic, and personal artifacts or experiences that you want to share with a wider audience. This is a great way to organize all your learning in one place and you can take it with you when you leave SAS. When you make your portfolio, you create posts that are categorized according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you, but if you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:- An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category. Think of this as the first opportunity to engage and hook your reader!
- Body – this is where you share your learning. This should include a combination of text and media in the form of images, graphics, and embedded videos. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging and organized? Do they want to keep reading?
- Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
- Tags – create tags that can be used as keywords to describe your post. Tags help organize your post a little more! Aim to have 3-5 tags for each post. For example, if you are posting about a novel you wrote, you might want the following tags: #Fiction, #MurderMystery, #Theme, #PlotDiagram
