Life Saving Measures

something I took away from these lessons in the last two days was how important it is to know these life saving skills. When doing CPR and using an AED, chance of survival goes up heavily. I also learned what naloxone is and how to use it in an overdose situation. Another thing I learned was the steps for CPR, for hazards and if they’re responsive, then contacting 911 and starting CPR. I learned the locations of where to put my hands for CPR, and where to put to pads for the AED. I also learned you should only be doing CPR when necessary, since you should be breaking ribs when doing CPR correctly, but having your ribs broken is better than dying.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection

I can analyze evidence and make judgements by hearing the entire thing, and listening to the details of evidence to be able to create my beliefs. Hearing important statistics to see how important and big the problem is is another why i make judgements.

I demonstrated that I can collect and analyze evidence by recording my evidence from my experiment on paper. I demonstrated that I can connect evidence I collected to big ideas by doing the discussion questions after the lab to my full ability. I demonstrated that I can make predictions based on evidence when I used the data of survival numbers to make an average survival rate.

Chapter 3 Parabola Assignment

y=a(x-h)^2+k

Equation: 𝑦=4(𝑥−3)^2−6

Equation: y=x^2

The difference between the two parabola’s are determined from the variables a, h, and k. The a represents the width of the parabola, and if it opens up or down. Since a=4 in my equation, it opens up and makes it more narrow. The h represents the axis of symmetry, and if the parabola is on the left or right. h=3 so my axis of symmetry is x=3. Finally, k represents if the vertex is below or above 0 (vertical shift), k=-6 on my parabola so my vertex has a y of -6.

SELF-ASSESSMENT

In the above assignment, I took two equations and presented them as parabolas in a graph format. Then I followed up with a write up which allowed me to explain their differences. I used relevant vocabulary such as variables, axis of symmetry, and vertex to help me better explain my interpretation of the parabolas. I used formatting in my graph (selecting the colors blue and green to highlight each parabola) and also in my explanation (using certain colors for parts of the equation) in hopes that this will provide a clearer explanation.
