Leonardo da Vinci (5/14-5/18)

http://www.leonardodavinci.net/images/leonardo-da-vinci.jpg

Summary:

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was a famous painter, inventor, sculptor, and architect known for his very famous paintings, “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper.” He was born April 15, 1452, in Anchiano, Italy and continued painting until May 2, 1519, when he died. His parents were Caterina da Vinci, Piero Fruosino di Antonio da Vinci. He also had twelve siblings, Bartolomeo, Giovanni, Guglielmo, Pandolfo, Giuliomo, Violante, Magdalena, Domenico, Bernedetto, Lorenzo, Margherita & Antonio di Ser Piero da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci had many hobbies and interests throughout his career. He was an inventor, painter, sculptor, and so much more. He painted portraits outside, which was very uncommon. He also sketched futuristic drawings of cars, planes, and more. He was a mathematitionSome of his famous paintings include the Annunciation, The Adoration of the Magi, Verrocchio's Baptism of Christ, Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and his Self Portrait.

SP4: Analyzing and Interpreting Data

This week, we obtained, evaluated, and communicated information to learn more about our chosen scientist. We obtained information by reading through a variety of sources and taking notes about the important information. Next, we evaluated the information and sorted it to help us answer questions in each category. Once we finished answering the questions, we communicated with people in our table to learn more about different scientists. We used the evaluated information to start creating our wanted poster and flipgrid video. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information has helped me organize, analyze, and learn much more about my chosen scientist.

XCC: Cause and Effect

This week, I observed a cause and effect relationship between Leonardo Da Vinci and many other famous scientists, and what people think about when they hear their name. For example, when you hear Leonardo Da Vinci, many people would think of the Mona Lisa or some other of his famous paintings. However, there is so much more to Leonardo Da Vinci that many people do not know. For example, people did not know that he was a botanist, or that he, a painter, was a mathematician. I experienced this cause and effect relationship myself when I was deciding what scientist I should do. When I read "Leonardo da Vinci," I thought of the very few things that I knew about him. However, as I did more research, I realized that there was so much more that I did not know.

Multiplier

This week, I was a learner. I was determined to learn more about the topic so that I could understand more about Leonardo Da Vinci and his contributions to our society. As I was creating my wanted poster, I researched more information so that I could learn more about the topic. My table group also shared ideas so that we could all learn and understand more about our chosen scientist Being a learner has helped me understand the topic to a new level and allowed me to learn more about various different scientists that have impacted our world today.

Structure of the Periodic Table - 9/25-9/29

https://image.slidesharecdn.com/theperiodictable-110223090122-phpapp01/95/the-periodic-table-7-728.jpg?cb=1298451775 Summary: This week, we have been learning about how the periodic table is arranged and the different patterns that are in the rows  and columns. In the periodic table, the rows are called periods. Along the rows, the elements are organized by atomic number (the number of protons.) The rows also have the same energy level or the number of electrons. For example, in the first row, all of the elements' atoms have one energy level, and so on.The atomic mass is the number of neutrons plus the number of protons. The atomic mass can be a decimal, and it is ordered increasingly. The columns in the periodic table are called groups or families. Each family has a name. For example, group one is composed of alkali metals which is the family with Lithium, Sodium, and more. Each group also has the same number of outer, or valence electrons. The elements in group one ...

Musical Instruments and Sound- Weekly Blog (3/11-3/15)

Sound Energy - Musical Instruments by SolPass Summary We understand how sound is produced, and how sound waves can travel through different mediums, but how do musical instruments produce sound? There are hundreds of instruments in the world, producing various pitches, tones, and chords. There are three main types of instruments: wind, percussion, and string. The sound is produced differently based on the type of instrument. The first type of instrument is a string instrument. In a string instrument, the sound is created from the vibration of strings. For example, when you play guitar, you pull on the strings. As the strings vibrate, the air molecules start vibrating as well, producing sound. The next type of instruments are wind and brass instruments and are made when we blow sound into them. The shape and position of the instrument affect the overall tone and pitch. The most common kind of wind instrument is a reed instrument. Blowing on the reed causes it to vib...

Energy Transformations - Weekly Blog (1/28-2/1)

Types of Energy  by  Solar Schools Summary: You've probably heard the quote by Albert Einstein, "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another." But what are the forms of energy? There are six general energy forms: chemical, mechanical, thermal, light, electrical, and nuclear. Any form of energy can be converted into another form. There are many examples of energy transformations that happen in our everyday lives. The first energy form is chemical energy. Chemical energy is a form of potential energy and is stored in chemical substances. An example of chemical energy is gasoline that is used to power a car. The next form of energy is mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is energy released by a moving object. For example, mechanical energy is the energy that causes a soccer ball to move when kicked. Another form of energy is thermal energy and is associated with the motion of molecules. This means that it is caused by f...
