I think my experiences such as doing assignment that related to the Earth and environment influenced my hobbies like how to treat or take care of the land and environment because every day, we learn something new that we did not know like this action might affect our environment and what consequences does it have.
My strengths as a student are to contribute to my community and classroom, through the activities because I work well with the other Students and asking questions.
Because I know about Earth science, I can have a negative impact on the environment, I make sure that I let people know about some problems and action that has consequences on Earth and encourage them to prevent to help to do not reduce any problems.
So, in this chapter you need to know some important things that are necessary. We are working on what’s letters a, h, k and vertex then put them all together.
So, as you can see, I wrote my equation and graph it and I going to talk about vertex first because it’s important. So, vertex is the point that the graph is going to start that’s why it is important. In this chapter we have a formula that shows like this” y=a (x-h) ^2+k” and letter h is our x in vertex and k is our y in vertex. By the way, we need to be careful when we plug in h because as you can see in formula our h is negative, so we know that if in our equation h is negative our x was positive and if our h were positive that means our x was negative. For example, in my black graph I don’t have h or k in my equation then it means that values of the vertex (x, y) are zero. so, let’s go to the letters.
Letter a in the equation show us that the graph is upward or downward based on (-) and (+), in addition, it tells us that our graph is wider or narrow, if our a is fraction it means our graph is going to be wider and if it’s number that it means our graph is going to be narrow. For example, in my red graph as you can see letter a is fraction then our graph looks wider and also has negative then our graph is downward. The next letter is x, letter x is x-intercept. X will show us that where our graph located. If it’s negative it means it located to the left and if it’s positive it means it located to the right, for instance, in my orange graph my x is -4 and as I said earlier -4 it means that x is 4, so then our graph will locate in the right. The next one is our letter k that is y in our graph. Letter k will tell us that our graph is at bottom or at the top of the x-intercept, if our k is negative, it means our graph is at the bottom and if it’s positive our graph is at the top, for example, in green graph my k is +10 it means that my graph is at the top of the x-intercept.
How did you represent the same mathematical idea in multiple ways in this assignment? I did respond to my assignments in three ways include: Graphing, Equation, and Written response.
State some of the relevant mathematical vocabulary words you used to demonstrate your understanding. The vocabulary words that I used are vertex, y and x, axis of symmetry, range, and x-intercept.
How did you use formatting to share your information in a clear and organized way? I used my knowledge and stuff that I learned like equations, graphs, and vocabulary words to respond for formatting my information as clear as it possible and with a good organize way.
I learned a lot about the consequences of alcohol. But the worst thing that really effected to me was that after a while when you continue to drink alcohol, your face turns to unusual yellow hue, and the skin may wrinkle. this can lead to the onset of skin diseases and even cause the whites of your eyes to turn yellow as you can see in the picture on the top. This one is one of the consequences on your healthy, in addition, it can effects on your family, on your relationship with people because in drunk mode you don’t have any control on yourself, and it makes you to do or say something stupid in social media that make people to be not satisfied with you or they’ll not feeling comfortable with you, so my suggestion for you is that never try alcohol and prevent yourself of using this because it is not going to worth it.
Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection
Brain: Alcohol slows down the chemicals and pathways your brain uses to control your body, altering mood, slowing down reflexes and affecting balance. It also can contribute to learning, memory, and sleep problems.
Heart: Alcohol increases your heart rate and expands your blood vessels, making more blood flow to the skin (which causes you to feel warm), however, this heat passes out through the skin, causing body temperature to fall after it has risen.
Digestive: Alcohol is first broken down in the stomach, promoting an increase in digestive juices. Alcohol also irritates the small intestine and colon where it is further broken down and absorbed, and it also can affect the normal speed that food moves through them, which may result in abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea.
Kidney: Alcohol dries out the body, which can affect the kidneys and the body’s ability to regulate fluid and electrolytes. It also disrupts hormones that affect kidney function.
Liver: Alcohol—most of it, in fact—is metabolized in the liver, which filters circulating blood and removes and destroys toxic substances, including alcohol. The liver can handle a certain amount of alcohol, but as a person continues to drink, it can become stressed to the point of causing permanent damage.
I can analyze evidence to make judgements of Alcohol based on what people say about it on Internet, also I can see it in the present that what happened to people when they drink alcohol and how it makes people to become what and listen to the people’s experiment.
a) What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before?
I didn’t know how to give someone CPR or how to use an AED to deliver a shock. I didn’t have the necessary information to perform CPR.
For example, how many times should I perform chest compression.
b) What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit?
Help keep blood flowing throughout the body. How to do CPR or how to use AED.
c)How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously?
This unit showed us how to eat healthy food and keep our bodies safe from potentially dangerous foods. For example, too much sugar, fast food, etc. One major cause for performing CPR is unhealthy nutrition. We have learned that not only food causes heart attacks, diseases, and failure, but it also depends on your daily routine. As if sleep and proper body exercise.
Core Competency Reflection
I can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life, my grandmother had a problem heart and she had a heart attack before and I know how to save her.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I play Basketball or talk to my friend and go outside.
One lesson that stimulated my thinking about the importance of CPR was how to do CPR will save a dying human. I didn’t know that CPR is a way that something happened inside the heart that can save a person.
I can communicate for a purpose. In my video , I explain how to a make paper airplane . I show how to fold the paper and I use words to explain each step. Making this project I learned to use the computer to edit a video and I leaned new [ vocabulary ] words.
