Floated on the baking soda side



      CONCLUSION

           My conclusion is that the egg would only float on the side that was more denser. The reason for that is cause  water is dence but not dence enough to hold the egg. There for you needed to add something elce to it so it would be dence enough to hold the egg.
Ex. Water +sugar = hold egg
Ex.Water + salt = hold egg
Ex.Water + baking soda =hold egg
Ex.Water = Not holding egg

  1. What do you think of your progress report?  What are you happy with?  Why are you not happy with? 
  2. What can you do during term 2 in order to improve your progress report?

             Yes I'm happy with some of my marks. The things I'm happy with are some of my marks are in the 80's. And that some of my marks are good but I don't think that I tried my hardest this term I thought that it would be easy like grade 7 but it isn't. When I' taking test I think that I will get a good mark. But I'm wrong.  Accept for some of them where I get good marks and I get in the 90's. Some of my other marks I'm OK with but I think I can do better if I study cause in grade 7 the test were easy and I thought that grade 8 wouldn't be much harder. But now that I'm in grade 8 I look back at grade 7 and Mr.Catton said that we should of learned alot of this stuff in grade7 so I think that could be a problem for some of us because when we need to learn other stuff we don't have a long time to study the new topic we are on and then after a week of learning we have our test and that is my problem on some of my tests.


       Some of my marks I'm so not happy with. with my marks I got in this report card I thought that I did HORRIBLE!. my marks last year are no where near what I wanted this year. I thought that this year I would be in the 90's and above but I'm not I get good grades in math but that is cause it is my best subject but besides that I have horrible marks in most of my other subjects that I wish I will improve on next term.

                      What do you think people consider about you when they first meet you?
         What I first consider before anything and I know it is that I'm short. They might think that I'm not shy cause i love to talk. They might think that I'm active because in gym classes and recess I like to run around and play.


         How would you respond to the question who are you?

         I would reply I'm Ryan McDonald born May 23 1997. My favorite sport is Hockey. My favorite hockey team is the Calgary Flames! I also enjoy playing basketball and Volleyball. my favorite food is hot wings. My favorite meal is hot wings with rice. My favorite fast food place is Genesis(Chinese food).

                        Now I told you about what I think people will think of me.

 Imagine Erica, Peter or Daniel's mother are still alive. Pick one of the three characters and ask yourself, "What questions would you like to ask the character?".  Explain why your questions are important to you. Tell the character what you've learned and how you feel after hearing their story. If you can relate her experiences to any conditions facing your generation, explain those connections. Describe for the character what you will do to teach future generations the lessons you've learned from studying the Holocaust.

        Daniel's Mother

        Daniel's Mother. There are so many questions I want to ask you. the first question I want to ask you is how did it feel  Auschwitz? the reason I'm asking this question is because knowing you are going to a death camp what is going through your mind at this time?   My next question is what do you feel like doing to the Germans when you seen them surrender when the Allie's came to help you, your friends, family, and others
out? The reason I'm asking this question is cause I want to no if you felt like killing the Germans?  My next question is how did you feel when you found out you were free from all the horror and smell of death? The reason I'm asking this question is because I want to know what you are thinking for example I want to know if you were thinking is your family lived through this.

      My next question for you is how did you feel when you found out that your family was still alive and you were not the only one? The reason I'm asking this question is because i want to know if you were really happy or thought it was a lie that your family was a lie? Are you happy that you lived through it when you were very sick? When you seen your family when you and all the other people were freed from the death camp what were your thoughts seeing your husband and children again? This question might be the hardest one i would ask her and it is how would you live not seeing your husband for years and days?


  When you seen the Germans cleaning up all the bodies what did you feel like? The reason I'm asking this question is that I would not be able to look or bare to even think if that was me....so I want to know what did you feel like? When most of your friends were killed and you thought you had nobody to be with in your life what were you thinking? I want to know this because with nobody in your life i want to know if you felt like you wanted to die?
