Catching Fire

Catching Fire

         In Suzanne Collin's Catching Fire, Katniss is closer to death than ever before.  Peeta and her are now the cause of what may be the start of a rebellion against the capitol.  Katniss now has to go back into the arena for the Quarter Quell, but this time with other former winners from each district.  This time her only goal is to make sure Peeta gets out of the arena safely.  How will Katniss be able to survive the impossible Hunger Games that the capital made to kill Katniss?

Computer Lab

Today in computer lab, we looked at jobs that fit us and our needs.  In the first website we chose what kind of living we would want.  Then we chose what kind of job we wanted.  Since my annual salary  was 120,000 my options were varied.  The second website was way different.  We had to answered 180 questions!  This website recommended way different jobs.  Thanks to today's computer lab, picking a job will be easier.

Science Lab

       Today in science lab we saved and killed bears.  At the beginning we started with ten bears and two pollutants.  After each round we added one more pollutant.  I learned that pollutants have a bigger impact on the environment.

Science Lab

Today in science lab we learned how much petroleum products are in our life.  First, we read about the dangers of petroleum products.  Then, we looked at picture and circled all the petroleum products we found.  I found only two things that were not petroleum products.  Next, we wrote a list of how many petroleum products we used in one day.  Last, we wrote 5 things on how we will change.  I learned that petroleum products can be bad and good.

Computer Lab 5-3

Today in computer lab I learned new skills in science and language arts by going to Bitesize again.  One of science skill that I learned was about friction.  In this activity I had to choose the right path to go faster than the other biker.  After I completed this activity I got to print out a certificate.A language arts skill that I reviewed was describing a poem.  Another language arts skill I learned was about arguments.  This was a very fun computer lab.

computer lab

Today in computer lab we used Bitesize Math to help us with geometry.  In the first game that I played, I got to review 2-d figures by finding a special shaped bottle.  The second game helped me relearn the 3-d figures and Nets by saving the world from robots.  In third and last game i got to play, I again saved the world from robots by reviewing angles.  What we did in computer lab today will surely help us with the big CST test in two weeks.
