Freedom Writers

I feel that there isn't really a big connection between the Freedom Writers and I. I think it was a good movie and maybe some of the points were true but it seemed as if there was to much violence. I only know one person who was shot and killed and it wasn't because he was in a gang it was because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.The freedom writers made it seem like every time they walked out the house they were going to get shot or jumped I've never seen places like that and I don't think they exist. The movie played on violence and the struggle to survive to much and it didn't seem realistic I think the producers where trying to make it more interesting for us to watch. It also seemed like everyone was in a gang, I don't think there are any gangs in Philly, I haven't met any one in a gang.
As for the connection between African Slavery and the Holocaust they have a few similarities.They both singled out one race but for different reasons Europeans wanted people to do what ever they wanted for free, Hitler tried to kill off a whole race because he was racist for whatever reasons. I don't know which one was worst because they were both taken a way from there homes against there wills and tortured but Africans were just whipped and even though thats bad they played mind games during the holocaust like seeing how far bullets would go between bodies , experimenting with different blood types and playing with acid and poison.Even though Africans weren't fed the best foods they did eat because the slave masters wanted them alive to work, the holocaust victims on the other hand had to starve because it was no big deal to the Nazi's if they died because they wanted to get rid of them anyway. Both ordeals were horrible and cruel and I feel sympathy for both the holocaust victims and the African slaves. Watching and reading about both topics depress me to no end ,but I'll watch a movie on the holocaust before a slave narrative because the holocaust happened to a different race of people and it's not that I don't still get depressed hearing about them, it's just slavery happened to my ancestors and hurts more watching people like you go through things like that.

Newton's third law Experiment 7

Objective- For every action there is a reaction.

Hypothesis- I Predict when we we pull back on the sling that the rod will fly forward and the cart will move back.Proving Newtons third law that states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Materials-
Rod
Rubber band
Halls Cart

Procedure- We attached the rubber band to the halls cart and put the Rod inside the rubber band to make a sling shot.

1. The rod went forward and the cart slid back a little.

2.The Rod and the cart both went back.

3.The Rod went forward and the cart moved back.

Conclusion- The Rod moved Forward almost every time we shot it.I believe the force was an equal force reacting to an equal force.My Hypothesis was correct because the rod flew forward and cart slid back proving my hypothesis and Newton's Third law.

Newton Experiment 6

Objective- Doe it take more force to accelerate in object with greater mass.

Hypothesis- I predict that once you put the string the cart will move and if you put enough on the cart will move so fast it flips over the rod.

Materials-
Washers
Halls Cart
String
Paper Clip
Rod
Tape

Prodcedure-

First we taped the rod to the table

Second We tied the string to the halls cart and the other end to a paper clip

Lastly we added Washers until the cart started to move.

Washers Speed
0 rest
3 rest
6 rest
9 fast
12 really fast

Washers Distance
0 29
1 29
2 27

Conclusion- The Hypothesis was correct it takes to times the washers to move a cart with 200g instead of 100g.

Objective- Does increasing the force on an object increase te acceleration on an object?

Hypothesis- I predict the Halls Cart will move up wheb the weight gets to be to much.

Materials-
Tape
Rod
String
Paper Clip
Halls Cart
100g
Washers

First Test

Washers distance
0 29
2 27
3 17.5

Second Test

Washers speed
2 rest
4 slow
6 fast
Third Test

Washers Speed
0 rest
3 rest
6 fast
9 really fast

Conclusion- The Hall's Cart speeds up the more you put Washers on it.My Hypothesis wash almost correct because it did weigh the cart down.

Newtons law Experiment 3

Subject Question- Do Objects in motion really continue in motion unless acted upon by an external force?

Hypothesis-I predict that the 100 gram mass weight will fall off the cart once it hits the ramp and the cart will stop moving.Proving Newton Law which states that any object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by an outside force.

Materials -

Halls Cart
Ramp
Card Board
100 gram mass weight
Tape

Procedure- First I taped the card board onto the Halls Cart,and then put the 100g mass weight on it. Lastly I pushed the cart into the ramp to get mt results.

Test 1 The cart stopped moving and the gram fell off.
Test 2 The cart stopped moving and the gram fell off.
Test 3 The cart stopped moving and the gram fell off.
Test 4 The cart stopped moving and the gram fell off.

Conclusion-
The 100g mass weight fell off of the cart and it stopped moving.Newtons law was right any object in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force . This experiment can be used in the real world with test theories for example if the people who make cars want to know what will happen when a car rolls down a hill,they could test it out and see that it will eventually stop once the outside force acts on it.

Alternative Energy part 2

Solar Power is safe,clean and Ecosystem friendly but it cost five times as much as gas the solar panels take up a lot of space you house might not be in a good angle to receive sun and at night when theres no sun you have to find a way to store it.
Water energy is cheap, clean, safe and efficient but it takes animals away from there natural habitat and you need long transmission lines to carry the power.
Wind energy is also cost efficient and energy efficient but the wind mills take up to much because sometimes they can be 20 stories high.there noisy and to install them it cost between 45,000 and 50,000 dollars
Out of all of them I would use water because all you really have to worry about is the transmission lines , Even though S0olar power works fine you would have to worry about your power going out at night or on a cloudy day.

Utopian Energy

I think Solar power is good and it doesn't harm the environment but it cost more than Gas.
Wind Energy is good but its expensive and unpredictable.
I would use Biofuel or agrofuel, its when you use solid,liquids or gas from dead plant in material to make energy. I think thats good because it doesn't hurt the environment and your not wasting anything because your using dead material.

The Island of Gana

In the 18 century two Quakers came to Guana for something called the Quaker experience it lasted 45 years and they used African slaves to do work for them.
In 1934 Beth and Louis Bigelow bought it and built six houses and became pioneers.
In 1975 Henry and Gloria Jarecki purchased it and started improving the land for the people.

I think you cant build a Utopia with slave because you cant have peace and free will if you forcing people to do something.

I don't think you should be able to buy Utopia because some people can't afford it so only rich people would have it.

Newton's Second law

Experiment 2

Problem- Is the force required to get an object moving the same,less or more than the force required to keep an object moving.

Object- The object of this lab was to prove if Newtons second law is tru or not.

Hypothesis- I think that more force is required to move an object from rest then to keep it going because to start an object moving you have to give it an extra tug more then it you were just pulling it at a constant speed.

Tug Mass
1 30g
2 45g
3 85g
Jerk Mass
1 20g
2 70g4
3 40g

Constant
Test Mass
1 30g
2 30g
Faster
Test Mass
1 45g
2 45g

Materials-
String
Cart
200 gram weight
Spring Scale

Procedure- First I had to tie the string to the cart and the loop the other end ant tie it to the spring scale.

Next I had to put the weight on the cart and pull it around the table and record the progress.

Conclusin- The Chart shows that it takes more force to keep an object in motion then it does to start it.My hypothesis was incorrect.It does follow Newton's Second law.

Newton's First Law

Experiment 1

Problem- Will an object at rest remain at rest unless moved by an external force.

Objective- The purpose of this lab is to prove if Newtons first law is true.

Hypothesis- I predict that once the ramp is pulled from under the cart, the cart will land in the same spot on the table.Proving that Newtons first law is true,which states that an object at rest will remain at rest or that an object in motion will remain constant in a straight line.

Material- Wood ramp

Ruler

Cart

Procedure- First I put took the ruler and measured 12 inches and thats how much the wood ,would hand of the table.Then I put the cart on it and pulled thewould from under it.

Conclusion- When I pulled the ramp from under the cart, it landed on the table in the exact spot it was before,proving that Newtons first law is true.

UtopianSociety Architect

My Utopian Society wouldn't have buildings with jobs and highways because all those things represent stress and it would have to be totally different from the cities today

Utopian Debate ( Architect) part 4

To answer Chaz's question I think that if people wouldn't have invented things that made people feel they have to compete and get violent the world would still be peaceful.

Utopian Debate ( Architect) part 3

I guess you can use more materials but it should be kept simple so people don't try to compete with each other

Utopian Debate(Architecture) part2

I don't know you could use mud or something but if it worked along time ago it could work now.

Utopian Debate(Architecture)

I would use wood or stones and the houses wouldn't be close together, because thats how it was a long time ago and things were more peaceful and Utopian like in the past so to get there you should do thing how they were done before.

Moral Responsibilty

I believe that when people talk about Moral Responsibility they talking about the morals you should have in life. I think that means that you should be noble.As a person there are certain thing your supposed to do like be kind to other and help them out if you can. For example if you walking down the street and you see some one hurt and you just keep walking that would be morally irresponsible, a person with morals would help them.
I think it also means if you say something mean it and when you say your going to do something do it, basically it means be a person of you word.A morally responsible person wouldn't walk around telling a bunch of lies and saying things they don't mean.

I think the Utopian Society should be somewhere separate from the rest of the world it should be in a jungle somewhere, so other people can't ruin it and if people already live there they should be asked to join the society or be paid to leave.

Utopian Debate 3

I think the Utopian Society should be somewhere separate from the rest of the world so it doesn't get ruined and the people who already live there should be ask to live in the society should be asked to join the society or be paid to leave

Utopian Debate 2

I think that if Utopia had rules to begin with the thief would had never have thought he could get over on the people.

Utopian Debate

There should be laws in Utopia because people will get too wild and crazy if they don't have certain rules to follow.

Utopia

1. I think Utopia is a perfect place to live without any problems.

2. I think the concept has changed because the more things become wrong with the world the more people change there views of what they want Utopia to be like.

3. In Utopia people should be free to do what they want within reason and everything should be peaceful.

4.Everyone has there own view of what the perfect place should be like, so it causes conflict.

5. Dystopia's purpose is for people who do what ever they want and it makes the world a bad place to live in.

6.I don't think Utopia is possible right now because there are people who do too many wrong things like murder and robbery to make a society peaceful.

AIDS IN NIGERIA

I thought the Nigeria project was good .

Biird Flu PSA

I thought the bird flu project was very interesting and informative at the same time.
