Who dunnit?

Who DUNNIT?

In Room 4 we are solving a crime, someone had broken into a house with rare valuables lying around and shattered a window to get in. We had discovered little bits of cloth that was covered in what it looked like blood next to a broken window. We then had a look at the blooded cloth under a microscope and we found out that the red stuff on the cloth was actually blood. Looking at the CCTV footage there were at least 4 suspects so we decided to take a blood sample from each of them.

Each suspect had to take a blood test because we knew we had to find A+. Suspect 1 blood was A B+, suspect 2 blood was B and suspect 4 blood was 0. But looking at suspect 3 blood was different because their results were A+. We knew this because the blood on the ripped material turned out to be A+ so we were trying to find out what suspect blood is A+.






Task Description ~ This task was for Genomics and we had to actually find the suspect using chemicals but the blood wasn't real but we just called it Blood. Just a small group of us finished finding the suspect because the whole class couldn't handle it.

Genomics, 11-11-19 lll smallest to LARGEST

Walt - Place organisms on a continuum. 













Task description - Today in Genomics/Science we were placing living organisms from smallest to largest on the blue line. We also had to think about what animals were the smallest and animals that were the largest.

Looking at onion cells through a microscope (experiment

Aim: (On a slide are we able to see a clear picture of onion cells through a microscope)

Hypothesis: I think we will be able to see a clear picture of the onion cell at a magnification of 10x

Equipment: 
  • 1 onion
  • 1 Slide
  • 1 Cover Slip
  • Tweezers
  • Blue Stain


Method: The first thing we had to do was get our slide. We then had to peel off a thin layer of onion skin. Then we carefully placed the thin layer of onion skin on the slide and made it flat so there were no lumps. Just to make sure we put 1 drop of saline on top of the thin layer of onion. So that we could see the onion cells on the slide through the microscope we put 1 drop of blue dye on the saline so it would be easier for us to see the onion cells

Observation/Conclusion: After adjusting the microscope so we can see the onion cells clearly. We finally got to see what onion cells look like. From what I could see they were very detailed like lots lines connected to each other in some way, in between the lines were dark purple dots but I think the funny looking dots were just the purple dye that we had applied on top of the saline or it was part of the onion cell but the dye had covered it
Image result for Onion Cells
Task Description- Today we got to do a little experiment. But before attempting the actual experiment, Mrs Stone told us to create a new document so we can write down our Aim on what were gonna attempt or see if what we're gonna do is gonna work. I also had to write down my hypothesis and equipment to make this experiment work. After attempting the experiment as you can see I wrote the method so you know how I made this experiment work. Lastly I wrote my observation or conclusion to show you what my results were overall.

K-Pop History

Today we are learning about the K-Pop history and how K-Pop came to be. Before K-Pop was invented some Korean people wondered how they can make people from around the world like or want to listen to Korean music. So this man had this genius idea, to start up his own studio/company and find unique and attractive Korean men to be in a Korean bot band. But this guy wasn't the only one who had this type of idea. But there were also some restrictions and the Korean boys that were found on the street had to agree and sign a contract. There were some very strict rules on the contract and when they signed the contract they were pretty much saying, "you have full access to my life". If they broke the contract they could never rejoin to be a Korean star/idol. Their food/diet was very strict as well like they had to eat what their boss told them to eat.

But the main thing they had to find about Korean boys was that they had to be very attractive and it didn't matter if they could sing or not. If their boss didn't like the way they looked they would make them get plastic surgery but only if they had signed the contract, that was basically saying "you have access to my life". Now days most people from around the world listen to K-Pop because of how catchy the beats are and how creative their music videos can be. But I think that some people should still acknowledge the traditional Korean dance. Because some people from around the world think that K-Pop is Korea's traditional thing. So Korean people should try keep their traditional culture alive so they remember how their ancestors originally performed.

North America and Europe Venn Diagram

What are the differences between North America and Europe? It all started when the Europeans colonized North America and brought their languages and food over to North America. Europe and North America traded in things they owned. European traded in their food like pizza and their language like Spanish, French and English. So now both countries have these things.
