Summary: During this week, we had to turn in our video along with the rest of our project (video link: CLN (Cell-land News CELL WARS GOLGI BODIES INTERVIEW) ). We also had to post smears, which was basically roasting other teams in order for our candidate to win. Smearing was when you put up a post putting other candidates (future presidents of cell-land, which were the given organelles) in a bad light so our candidate could win. Backward-Looking: In what ways have you gotten better at this kind of work?  I have gotten better at this kind of work (video editing) because I know how to use a certain type of video editing software properly, or at least enough to produce a good music video with a few classmates. Another way I have gotten better at this kind of work is uploading. Last year, we were told to do a project, and I had no idea how to upload my video from iMovie to my Google Drive, and I had to seek help from another classmate, who told me how. This year, I know how to upload

Summary: During this week, I learned that the mitochondria's function was to make its own energy called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). I also learned that the mitochondria was the "powerhouse" of the cell. Another thing that I learned about the mitochondria was that the mitochondria uses a specific way of creating ATP called the electron transport chain. One other thing that I learned about the mitochondria is that the type of energy it makes (ATP) is a type of energy that every cell in our body can use. SP3: Planning and carrying out investigations: I decided to collect data for our script in our Cell Wars project. The script is for our video that is due this Wednesday. The data will be used to show why our organelle (Golgi apparatus, named after a scientist, Camillo Golgi) is the best candidate for president of Cell-land (the previous president, Nobelius Nucleus had a "rapid decline in his health forcing him to decline").

Summary: During this week, our class was given a 'Cell Wars' project, where 'the president of cell-land' had a 'rapid decline' in his health and he was forced to resign. Our teacher gave us eight different options, and groups were formed based off of the organelle that we chose. I chose Golgi bodies (also known as the Golgi apparatus) and spent most of the week researching their function, smearing other candidates (basically just roasting). While I was researching, I found out that the Golgi apparatus was named after the Italian scientist (who is also a biologist, pathologist, physician, and Nobel laureate ) Camillo Golgi.   SP1: Asking questions and defining problems  Over the week, I had a repeating question while smearing other candidates: does the Golgi apparatus cause any diseases? I found out that yes, the Golgi apparatus indeed can cause diseases. A terrible disease that the Golgi apparatus causes is Achondrogenesis, which is a group of "diso

Summary:   During this week, I learned that a plant cell has a cell wall whereas the animal cell does not have a cell wall. I also learned that the cell was discovered by a scientist by the name of Robert Hooke in 1655 using a microscope. Another thing that I learned about the cell and cell theory was that cell theory was " credited to the work of Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden in the 1830s. " SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information We had to complete an online worksheet titled Hypothesis, Variables, Controls, Oh My! then corrected the worksheet with our class, where first, we would be given scientific terms and were asked to define them in our own words. Another section of the Google Doc. asked us to highlight the "testable questions" (a testable question is a question that is asked by one who can solve it using the Scientific Method). The last section of the paper was where we were given problems and had to identify the manipula
