I can analyze evidence and make judgements. This titration was done on my third try with my partner. The first two did not go great. They both came out more pink than we wanted. The first try was a dark pink and the second was a dark pink but it was slightly lighter. However from both those tries, I was able to make a judgement call on around how much NaOH we needed. The second try it was closer which gave me an ever closer idea on where we needed to slow down and start doing either single drops or half drops. On the third try we did it. The first two attempts gave me an idea on where to slow down which really helped us achieve this lab.
I demonstrated that I can collect and analyze evidence when I see what is happening. After completing this lab, I was able to see my results and come up with a conclusion that was whoever had to best utensil was able to survive and eat the most food compared to the others.
I demonstrated that I can connect evidence I collected to big ideas when I understood the concept of natural selection. By adapting to whatever object you have to live. Some people were given a fork without prongs and it was more challenging for them as they were not able to scoop up food. However, I was given a spoon and I realized I had a better tool than others as each station I usually filled my cup up the fastest
I demonstrated that I can make predictions base on evidence when I knew what happened after one station. After one station when I filled my cup up within seconds, and saw others with barely even a quarter full that I was able to predict what would happen within the next stations. I could make this prediction as I saw they were struggling to scoop up beans without having a spoon like myself and how easy it was for me.
The “K” in a parabola equation determines the shift from the x-axis. If “K=3”, the parabola would be shifted three units up because it is also positive. If “K=-3” were negative, it would shift three units down from the x-axis. This represents the vertical shift. The “K” in my parabola is positive three, therefore it shifts up three units from the x-axis. The black parabola represents my parabola and it opens on the point of positive 3.
The “A” in a parabola affects the way the parabola opens. If “A=2”, the parabola opens upwards and if it were negative it would open downwards. In my parabola, the “A” is negative which allows it to open downwards. Depending on what the “A” value is, it also determines the width of the parabola. The width of -3 is bigger than -9 however that is only if it is negative. The width of a positive “A” value shrinks and a width of a negative “A” value widens.
The “H” shifts the parabola left or right. If “H=2” the parabola shifts two units to the right from the y-axis or if it was negative, it would shift two units left from the y-axis. This represents the horizontal shift. In my parabola, the “H” is -1 so it shifts to the left by one from the y-axis as it is negative.
A simple original parabola of y=x^2 does not have an “a” “h” or “k” value, therefore, there is no shift of any direction in the parabola. It opens up from the centre point of 0. Also since the equation is positive, the only way it would open is upwards
Self-Assessment
Give an example from this assignment where you represented the same mathematical idea in three different ways? (for example, as a graph, an equation and in words)
Give an example from this assignment where you used mathematical vocabulary to demonstrate your understanding.
Give an example from this assignment where you used formatting to share the information in a clear and organized way.
In this project, I used demos which helps graph my parabola so that I could visually see it. My parabola was graphed beside the original parabola of y=x^2. This way I can see the difference between the two and that helped as I was completing this assignment and understanding the math material. As well, I had to explain my parabola, so I broke down the different values and structures to demonstrate my understanding of what the variables mean and what they are for like explaining what the “H” value means or the “A” value. I also separated each of the different variable values in the equation into a different section, therefore, I can see which information fits with each. Also, a different colour between my parabola and the original one was used to distinguish which parabola is which. My parabola is black while the simple parabola is red.
In their own unique way that has been brought down
Generation by generation
Learning new techniques by their ancestors who know best
Getting to know someone can change who they are
At first they may seem shy or quiet
Until you know them and show their real identity
You cannot judge someone based on how they look
Don’t judge a book by its cover
I can represent my learning and tell how it connects to my experiences. – I chose this because when I learn something new, I always try to relate it back to myself in order to connect to my experiences to understand it better.
I can work with others to achieve a goal. – When I work with other people, I am able to get ideas off them and finish my goal of the project.
I can encourage others to share their voices and value diverse perspectives. – I chose this because when other people are able to share their voices and ideas it creates a more diverse environment to learn from.
I can reflect on my thinking. – I chose this because we have been working on poems and getting new ideas so when this assignment was handed out, I was able to rethink about those poems to create my own.
