SBC Week 10: Reflection

Hi, it’s hmsmarim,

It’s the last week of SBC and I am going to end it with a reflection. I have a few questions that I need to answer.

  • How many weeks of the challenge did you participate in?

I have participated in all ten weeks of the challenges.

  • How many posts did you write in the ten week period?

I have written 11 posts including this one.

  • How many comments did you receive from classmates, teachers, or other visitors?

I have received 3 comments from classmates, none from teachers, and 4 from other visitors.

The three classmates were hmskailey, hmschloe, and hmsleilani. the four other visitors were A-Astaneh, Olivia, Gabi, and Grace.

  • Which post did you enjoy writing the most and why?

The post I enjoyed writing the most was probably the A-Z Science Words.

  • Which web tools did you use to show creativity on your blog?

The web tool I used to show creativity on my blog was probably

  • What are your plans for your blog now? Will you keep posting?

Now that SBC is coming to an end, I plan to try and post every so often, but I might forget. I will try my best to keep posting, but it’s going to be hard with all of the homework we have.

_____________________________________________________________

I asked my cousin to check out my blog and I asked her these questions after:

  1. What were your first impressions of this blog?
  2. What captured your attention?
  3. What distracted you on the blog?
  4. What suggestions can you give me to improve my blog?

These were here answers:

  1. “I thought it was unique and organized.”
  2. “The thing that caught my attention would probably the background/appearance at the beginning.”
  3. “The thing that distracted me was all the side things of your blog.”
  4. “You probably could organize you posts, so its in one place for different categories.”

SBC Week 9: Hour of Code

Hi, it’s hmsmarim,

Today I tried Hour of Code. This website I would say is pretty good for any age/grade and it’s very good if you want to get into coding. Hour of Code makes you think before you actually do it because if you do it wrong, you have to restart/try again. In my opinion, I think trying Hour of Code was worth trying.

Here is why I think it was worth it. Hour of Code is a coding website for any ages. It makes you think hard and you learn how to code. Hour of Code is started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify “code”, to show that anybody can learn the basics, and to broaden participation in the field of computer science. You can choose your grade level and different topics. I did one of the activities and that one was Little Dot Adventure.

When I first did Little Dot Adventure, I was wondering what I had to do to beat the level. I learned that when you do these types of games, you have to think about the decisions you are going to make. I learned that coding can be difficult, but it could also be easy when you get used to it. Another thing I learned was that when you do this particular activity, you have to think about how you are going to go further in the game.

the screenshot was taken by me, on Hour of Code

I would recommend this certain game because it is really good for your brain to think. I would recommend this activity because there are no codes to type and all you have to do is think and press your up, down, right, and left keys on your computer. This game gives you many chances when you make a mistake which is really good because you can learn from them. This game, in my opinion, is really good for your brain and that’s why I recommend it.

SBC Week 8: Holiday Craft

Hi, it’s hmsmarim,

Today I will be talking about how I made a certain Holiday Craft. I made a bookmark with certain materials and I will talk about them later. I will tell you, step by step on how I made the bookmark. The materials and the step by step processes aren’t really hard to make or to get the materials.

Materials:

  1. Light card – white and patterned (or create your own patterns)
  2. Pencil and pens 
  3. Paperclip 
  4. Bakers Twine or yarn or string 
  5. Tape & Glue Stick

Created by Me

Steps to make it:

The Snowman

  1. Start off by sketching your snowman – you will need two ovals, a smaller one for the body – but wide enough to hold a strip of tape to secure the paper clip and a bigger one for the head. I love the proportion of the bigger head and smaller body – so kawaii!
  2. When you are happy with your design, cut out two snowman shapes the same size (for the simpler paper clip bookmark, you will only need 1)
  3. One on snowman – add our facial details (check ours for inspiration). On the second snowman – leave plain or add the back of the scarf!
  4. Tape your paper clip onto one of the snowman halves  – make sure enough of the paper clip sticks out, so that it will fit over your book later.
  5. Glue your two snowman sides together.
  6. Hold in place with clothes pegs in need be.

The Mittens

7. Whilst the snowman dries, cut out 4 Mittens (I drew an oval, added a thumb and a little rectangular base). If you have a nice sheet paper like us, great.. if not, use a white sheet of paper/ card and color it!

8. Cut a length of baker’s twine – that is long enough to loop through your paper clip and fit the length of a book.

9. Loop around your paper clip.

10. Then glue between two mitten halves.

SBC Week 7: Free Choice – Creating Wallpapers

Hi, it’s hmsmarim,

This week for SBC is Free Choice, so I decided to create wallpapers, show them to you, and tell you the steps to making creative ones. You can use easy apps on your phone or tablet to create good wallpapers, or you can find them online. If you are on your computer, there are some really good websites you can use.

Sites you can use:

Adobe Spark

Pic Monkey

Foxkeh

Those were only three wallpaper websites you could use. Adobe Spark, Pic Monkey, and Foxkeh. In my opinion, I really enjoyed making the one from Adobe Spark and I think it’s the easiest to use. There are many websites you can use, but I prefer certain ones. I think there are many websites you can use, but I could only find three websites that were for free.

That is for today!

SBC Week 6: A-Z Science Words

Hi, it’s hmsmarim,

There are many words that go with one letter, but it is harder to name A-Z Science words. It shouldn’t be hard to name Science words, but trying not to use a website is harder. Since we take Science every day, we use terminology like the ones I’m going to types. I hope this goes well and I don’t have to use a website. We will see how far I can go with naming Science words.

A is for Atom: the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element.

B is for Beaker: a generally cylindrical container with a flat bottom. Most also have a small spout to aid pouring.

C is for Chemical: a form of matter having a constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.

D is for Data: the facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.

E is for Electricity: the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge.

F is for Fossil: the remains or impression of a prehistoric organism preserved in petrified form or as a mold or cast in rock.

G is for Gravity: the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes, Newton’s laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.

H is for Hypothesis: a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

I is for Immunology: the branch of medicine and biology concerned with immunity.

J is for Jet Stream: a narrow, variable band of very strong, predominantly westerly air currents encircling the globe several miles above the earth.

K is for Kilogram: the SI unit of mass, equivalent to the international standard kept at Sèvres near Paris

L is for Laboratory: a room or building equipped for scientific experiments, research, or teaching, or for the manufacture of drugs or chemicals.

M is for Mineral: a solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence.

N is for Neutron Star: a celestial object of very small radius (typically 18 miles/30 km) and very high density, composed predominantly of closely packed neutrons. Neutron stars are thought to form by the gravitational collapse of the remnant of a massive star after a supernova explosion, provided that the star is insufficiently massive to produce a black hole.

O is for Observe: notice or perceive (something) and register it as being significant.

P is for Phase: a distinct period or stage in a process of change or forming part of something’s development.

Q is for Quantum: a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents.

R is for Radiation: the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.

S is for Science: the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

T is for Theory: a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.

U is for Universe: all existing matter and space considered as a whole; the cosmos.

V is for Volcanology: the scientific study of volcanoes.

W is for Weather: the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.

X is for X-Ray: an electromagnetic wave of high energy and very short wavelength, which is able to pass through many materials opaque to light.

Y is for Yttrium: the chemical element of atomic number 39, a grayish-white metal generally included among the rare earth elements.

Z is for Zoology: the scientific study of the behavior, structure, physiology, classification, and distribution of animals.


Science Words Glossary

Quizlet Flashcards

After naming all those words, I couldn’t have done it by my self. I had to use a Science word glossary and a Quizlet Flashcard website to come up with these words. I came up with most of the words, but for some, I had to use the websites. Coming up with A-Z words were quite fun to do.

Some of the letters were hard to come up with words. Some of the letters were “Q, N, R, I, V, and J” because I couldn’t think of words that start with those letters. That’s why I had to use both websites to find words to put in this post. I had fun coming up with words and I can’t wait to see what subjects in SBC come across. 

How many words can you come up with? Leave a comment down below and I will try to respond to you!

That’s it for today!

SBC Week 5: Two Types of People

Hi, it’s hmsmarim,

Today, I am going to create a picture of two types of people and I am going to explain them.

 

Click here to see the pictures:  Two Types of People

Some people like doing things that are different from others. Some of them are arranging books or not, bitting chocolate or breaking it, checking apps or not, and saving your battery or wasting it. In my opinion, I would arrange books, break chocolate, checking apps, and saving my battery.
