Question #1:   In science class, a group of students builds prototype for a magnetic levitation train and then use it to explain how forces interact to keep the train elevated. Correct Answer: Developing and Using Models I understand that this is the correct answer because the group of students created a prototype for a magnetic levitation train. This is their model so that they can explain how forces interact. They created a model to understand and explain their idea. Question #2: A group of 7th graders creates and analyzes graphs of the data from an investigation about the relationship between a ball's mass and its speed down a ramp. Correct Answer: Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking I know this is the correct answer because the group of 7th graders needed to analyze graphs of the data with mathematics and computational thinking to figure out the relationship between a ball's mass and its speed down a ramp. Mathematics and computational thinking is

Before joining 7th grade, I had to decide between AdVENTURE and another school called UPA. There were a few different reasons I wanted to return to AdVENTURE and why I wanted to go to the different school. I was lucky to get into the other school because only some people get in. I also wanted to go to the other school because it has middle school and high school as well, so I would not have to transfer schools again. On the other hand, I wanted to return to AdVENTURE because I had all of my friends here. I also liked all of the teachers. Something I also really enjoy about AdVENTURE is the maker lab and maker hour after school. I realized that I was really enjoying AdVENTURE and felt like a family with all of my friends. I also liked how it was project based, but we still earned grades. I also really liked the teachers and how they taught us. I also enjoyed the program, so I decided to return to AdVENTURE as a 7th grader this year.
