Math/Science Grade (How Out organism did)

I think in this part I deserve atleast a A- because we provided whatever the gecko needed and made him a special feeding spot (the Pyramid) where we stacked all the food he ate. I think that our gecko liked the terrarium because he was always on the branch we put in there and he even went inside the pyramid a couple of times. I think i did alot of the work because almost every day I had to come and spray the cage for humidity and feed him which my partner took almost no work in feeding him. For providing the Supplies, I think that I spent quite I bit more then my partner for everything because the Gecko was the most exspensive thing that we got and the cage was a nice one that cost alot too and I had to supply both of them and a couple other things. The only reason that I did a bit less with the humidity and tempature is becuase my partner kept being a control freak and wouldn't let anyone touch any of MY and his stuff so he did it most of the time.

Humanities Grade (Civilization)

On my Civilization Grade, i think i deserve atleast a A because my partner and i worked very hard on this project and met several times over the weekend and instead of just cutting wood and glueing them together, my partner and I got nice balsa wood and made it perfectly to scale. Also, we painted it and added a little slant on the pyramid instead of making it a box or a square. I think that effort wise on this part, we both did an equal amount of work because I cut it out and then re-glued and painted multiple coats on (atleast 6 because my partner made me) the whole pyramid and my partner just took the measurements and put them together and then drew little squares on the pyramid once I was done. If anything i think my partner did a little more work because the measurements were hard because we had to measure the slants of the pyramid and make it to scale. The only thing that I could have done better would be to put a little plant in there so he can camoflauge more.

Saturday (Thursday Night)

I think that Media Night went really well. Out of the whole school, i think that our class was the most interesting because there was a endless flow of people walking through the doors and out the doors. Fortunatley i was able to answer every question that the parent asked me except one which was " How does you organism relate to your civilization?" which made no sense to me.

Tuesday

Today our organism, the gold dust day gecko, finnaly ate. He hadn't eaten for half a week but now he ate up 2 wax worms and and alot of bits of dried banana's. Also, he has become alot more tame so now you can pick him up if you want. While working today, i finished my elective project and it will get printed in color and lamenated so we can use it at exibition. Instead of picking an assignment that was optional, Matt Pawinski and I chose to pick our own project which is making posters in photoshop and posting them around the shool.

Tuesday

Today i got to bring our organism, the Gold Dust Day Gecko, into class. We have most of our cage set up all we need is to finish making the pyramid and set it up in the cage. So far, it hasn't eaten. We are working on our interpretive panels and the extra 20 point project.

Monday

Today i worked on the interpretive panels we have to make and finished up my second draft. Since i am older than my partner Kap, i had to do the interpretive panel about the Civilization that we are studying (the Mayans), while Kap, the younger guy in our group got to do the Biology about the organism we are getting. The organism we are getting is the Gold Dust Day Geckoand we will hopefully bring it in tomorrow morning.

Thursday

Yesterday we went to the Zoo and got to look at the animals that your department is based on and look at their terrariums. We also got some presentations done in the morning. Today, we are getting really behind with the presentations and we will need to catch up some how. My partner and i found out that the organism that we want is really hard to come by because pet stores have to order them in packs of 100 from Madagascar so some how we will have to come up with a way to get one for our project.

Monday

Over the weekend my partner , Kap, came over to my house and worked on our project. Then, we were going to go get our gecko and we find out they are very rare to come by and none of the places we called carried them.

Thursday

Today Kap and I configured most of our cage for our gecko because we will be bringing it in soon. We also finished our powerpoint and started our assessment.

Tuesday

Today is tuesday. Today i brought in the bark chips for gecko cage and we have almost finished our powerpoint presentation.

We have now gotten a little bit through the lesson because instead of working on the lesson, we opened everything to test if if works and everything is good.

Today we have been working on our Zoomanities lesson plan that we have to present to the class. Also this morning my partner, Kap, brought in the supplies that we need for our gecko like heat lamp, light bulb, water spray, temp/humidity gauge, calcium powder and a light timer.

April 27, 2007

Today we had to take a quiz for the Carnivoruos Plans group because Mr. Davis says we all have to be experts on everything. We also checked our Athropods homework. Then we had to work on a power point presentation for our lesson plan which is teaching everyone about architecture.

April 25, 2007

Today we presented our skit. Instead of making 2 groups of 5, I came up with the idea to make 2 skits with the groups as most of us characters. each of us played the role of our own organism except for James who was Steve Erwin. We also had to paint our face's to the color of our organism so i had to paint my face green because Kap and I have a Gold Dust Day Gecko as our organism and the gecko is green.
