Curricular Competency Explanation:
Titration is when you add solution with concentration to different solution until it turns into purple or pink color. I added the smallest drop of NaOH into the solution trying to measure the endpoint of the solution. I could tell the endpoint of the solution by stirring the water with few drops of NaOH that is inside the beaker and if the pink color stays for 5 seconds without dissolving, it means that the solution has reached its endpoint. I would put half a drop to make sure that the color stays in the beaker for more than 30 seconds. I had to try 3-4 times because I kept failing and failing until I realized that you can put NaOH inside the solution until the volume goes down to 14mL-15mL then you can slow add few drops and stirring it until it reaches the endpoint.
Core Competency Reflection:
Personal/Social CC
I can work towards change in myself by listening more carefully during class and getting all of my works done.
I can participate in activities such as lab by following the instructions and completing it.
I can take action by helping my partner while I’m in the lab.
My Parabola
on My Equation
Parent Function
y = x^2
Desmos graph (Red: Mine / Blue: Parent function)
My vertex (-5,-7)
Parent function vertex (0,0)
Paragraph
The significance of a, explains if the parabola is either wider or narrower and also the direction of which way the parabola will open. When a is negative, the parabola opens down. But when the a is positive, the parabola opens up. Since the a of my parabola is positive, my parabola opened up just like like the parent function. Also, a positive value of a closer to zero makes a wider parabola. The significance of h, explains whether the parabola will shift right or left. According to the equation formula, it says (x-h), meaning that if h is positive, your parabola will shift to the right and when it’s negative your parabola will shift to the left. Since the h of my parabola is (x+5), my parabola shifted 5 times to the left. Last but not least, the significance of k tells whether the parabola shifts up or down. When the k is positive the parabola shifts up and when the k is negative the parabola shifts down. The K of my parabola was -7 so my parabola shifted -7 times downwards.
Self assessment
- I wrote down my equation and family function. Then I put it on desmos to compare both graphs.
2. I used vertex, parabola, negative, positive, family function to show my understanding.
3. I used desmos because it’s more accurate than my hand drawn graph and it’s easier to do.
Space in the News
on Summary
The Hubble Space Telescope has caught an image of a galaxy called NGC 4394, which appears hazy by the residence of gas and dust. The galaxy is 120 million light years away from Earth and is home to several star forming regions. The galaxy contains some 400 billion stars, and most are old. The image reals about the details of the galaxy’s form, including bright stars. Hubble’s observations will help astronauts understand the processes that drive star formation in galaxies like NGC 4394. Hubble gazes describes the observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope, which is a powerful tool that tracks Earth and captures images of distant galaxies and stars.

Curricular Competency Reflection
A. I had to research when writing Summary.
B. Google
C. Copy and paste links.
D. Everything went well except for few questions.
Core Competency Reflection
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I go outside and play sports. When I go outside and do outdoor activities, it gets rid of my stress.
An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is (chemistry, physics or biology) worksheets than projects or labs, because worksheets have problem solving. I like problem solving with formulas than doing lab sheets or projects.
In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by giving them my opinions. In this way, I know if people has same opinion as me.
Positive Learner Identity
on Even though I didn’t do any work in class, I managed to finish all the assignments/projects on time.
I did the most work in academy/home instead of working in class. My project helped me on research about Canadian hero.
Core Competency Reflection
I improved my communication skill throughout the class.I can give my answers/thoughts in class.
Core Competency Goals
on My goal for this semester is to get at least B on every subject.
My goal for this semester is to pass ELD11.
My goal for this semester is to do volunteering.
