Introduction.p;-

The long-term effect screens have on children and adults.

You probably are not aware of the dangers screens can do to children but they are there and it is a real problem that needs to be taken seriously.  

My name is Solomon. I am doing a public speaking project on the long-term effects that screens have on children. I chose this topic because I think that this is a real problem right now. 

My three main points are that 1 screens can have a huge influence on people’s lives in good ways and bad ways, 2 addictions to screens are real and something needs to be done, 3 and the next generation of adults could have many people with low intellect

 

Main paragraph 

Electronics can be great tools but can also be addictive and bad for developing brains. They can be used for good things like school or work but for many people other stuff like games and more. Because of that screens are not very good for children and can cause blindness except that is a long-term effect though. Yes, I know I am typing this on a computer but that’s just because I am supposed to type this. Research shows that too much screen time can lead to problems in social-emotional development and depression. Research also states that when toddlers use screens it can decrease the words and sentences that toddlers use and cause delayed language development. To avoid this from happening, limit your screen time.  Many doctors suggest two hours a day of screen time on weekends. Screen time can also lead to raging and anger issues. Screen time can also lead to lower intelligence

60 percent of children are addicted to screens. In some situations, it is okay to have excessive amounts of screen time. For example, having a job that requires a software engineer or a movie critic.

Main paragraph 2

Screen time is a huge issue and has an impact on people’s lives and can even lead to mental health issues. Yes, even mental health issues. Before my research, I did not know that. But yes it could do that and many other things to people. They can also cause stress. To avoid this from happening set timers when using screens so you don’t get addicted. Screens are actually more addictive than marijuana😱. It may be too late to stop it though because like I said before it’s more addictive than marijuana.

 

Main paragraph 3

Here I will talk about what will happen to the next generation of adults.

Some people are so addicted to it that they will explode in rage and have huge temper tantrums whenever somebody tries to take away their device. These people are known as ‘’iPad kids’’.

Will these kinds of people ever mature? Or will they be like this for the rest of their lives? 

If your child is an ‘’Ipad kid’’ then you should slowly slowly decrease the amount of screen time they have by like 5 minutes a day. Will low IQ adults be doing your things like electrical work? 

And other dangerous jobs that could go wrong very easily?

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, I suggest lowering the amount of screen time your kids get. The reason behind this is there are a lot fewer benefits from screen time than you would think. To stop this from happening, set timers for your children when they are using screens. If you haven’t read the first part the reason for this is that screens are dangerous for developing children. I am not saying how to parent, I am just telling you to consider limiting your children’s screen time. I conclude that screens can be helpful and bad.

Hello, I will reflect on this project. I think that it was useful and I don’t mean to be a show off but I think my artifact is the best one. I also made a pretty good poster. now it’s time to reflect! I am happy with what I did for this project.  especially the Colosseum. In the Colosseum, I had two gladiators and sand. for the poster I made a timeline of the brief history of Rome! I also did a part where I talked about their conflicts and allies. My ebi is Even better if it is my poster. I think that if I tried harder I could do it better. my www what went well is the Colosseum! I think that I did pretty good on this project and I’d be happy to do more projects like this in grade 5. Thanks for reading! ROMMMMMME

I’m supposed to write about something that’s happening in the news so… I’m doing it on the Israel-Palestine war. This is a very controversial subject by the way. My opinion on the topic is that Hamas has done horrible terrorism and other stuff but Israel also did some bad stuff too like war crimes, for example blowing up a hospital. That doesn’t mean I’m not on Israel’s side. There are also some other things that Palestine has done like VIOLENTLY protesting on university campuses and even threatening Jews and stuff.

Due to this many Jews are afraid to be proud that they are Jews. I have been following this topic on the news and 60 minutes. It does not affect my family directly but I do know people who have family in Israel and they have been affected. I think that the protesters need to look at the bigger picture because hurting jews is not good.

hello, I’m solomon yes me, I did a project on the formation of rocks and even… made a stop-motion. I hope you enjoy the canvas I made and the stop-motion. also, most of the writing is on the canva.

Here is where I do a reflection.

I think that this project was pretty easy and fun. I hope to do more projects like this in the future. I did it alone because I like doing things like building stuff alone. for this example the set for the stop-motion. I also like how if I’m alone nobody is bossing me around and it’s much calmer. Anyway thanks for reading, and watching.

In class, I made a mythical creature. I made a creature, and it’s called uglimon its power is to scare people to death.

Here is my canvas with 7 sentences and the creature 🙂

Hello and welcome to my blog about my stop motion project! for the project, we had to do so many things, like make a set, build the characters, and record it! it was a very fun project and I hope you have fun reading it!  Here are some photos from my booklet.

And now for the part, you’ve all been waiting for the… CLIP!

WWW What Went Well.

What went well for me was that the project was that it was fun and it was pretty easy.

EBI Even Better If.

it would’ve been even better if the clip was not blurry but I am happy with the results.

Thanks for reading!

 

 

 

 

 

Hello world and welcome to my project About the Middle Ages. I hope you like it!

Introduction.

For our innovation day project, we are supposed to make a castle with a working draw bridge and other stuff.

It is actually pretty cool we are studying about medieval times and I hope you will like this blog.

 

 

What are the Middle Ages, you ask? I’m glad you asked!  “Even though you probably didn’t…”

They are a long period that took place between 400-1400AD approximately

It also began when the Roman Empire collapsed In the 400’s.

Some people refer to the period following its collapse as the Dark Ages, believing that society declined during this time.

Here is a video about medieval times

 

 

Feudalism

During the Middle Ages, the Roman Empire was divided into a bunch of small kingdoms.

Most kings did not have much control over those kingdoms.

Because of that many princes, dukes, and counts ruled their own land.

Those people were called vassals and their land was called fiefs.

They kind of acted like kings through this thing called feudalism or the feudal system.

The feudal system made a class system made of three groups.

1 The ruling class governed the peasants.

2 The peasants or serfs worked the land.

3 The church leaders or clergy were in charge of the religious life of the community.

Here is a video about the feudal system.

Castles.

Some people think that castles serve as homes for powerful people. Even though it is true it is not totally true.

Castles are communities made up of a lot of people.

Some are rich and wealthy like castle owners and nobles.

Others were not rich and wealthy like farmers religious, leaders, etc.

Castles played an important role in feudalism in Europe in the Middle Ages.

the word castle is from Latin. In Latin  It means fortress.

A castle also houses their army, weapons, and food.

Castles are the center of the government. Even though they got attacked a lot they were the safest place during that time.

Pulleys.

Did you know that draw bridges in castles are built with a pulley system?

Well, they are!

The rope attached to the pulley is also attached to the draw bridge in a castles

There are two main types of pulleys.

a fixed pulley and a movable pulley.

A fixed pulley is a pulley that is attached to a structure.

It can’t move parallel to the structure.

A movable pulley can change position relative to the structure.

A pulley system is when you combine two or more pulleys together.

Gears

Gears are great inventions created by Greeks. They have been used for centuries in many applications, including flag poles, cars, clocks, and bicycles.

Gears are even used in castles for things like flagpoles, as I mentioned earlier. But there are even more things in castles with gears for example wells.

Hypothesis 

I think I am gonna use the pulley to make the drawbridge work. I will position it at the top of where the door/drawbridge is. Pulleys work when the rope is pulled it will lift the load. In this situation, the drawbridge is the load.

I was going to use gears to make a flagpole but could not find how to make a working flagpole with gears on the internet, so I just made a tower and taped a flag at the top.

Procedure

1 Get a cardboard box

2 Cut a hole in it in the shape of a drawbridge

3 Put a pulley above the hole you made earlier

4 Add spikes on the top.

5 Make turrets.

6 Make a tower.

7 Attach a string to the pulley and drawbridge from earlier.

8 Add a flag to the tower

Now it should look somewhat like this

And this

 

 

Drawbridges.

A draw bridge is a historical type of bridge from the Medival Times. It can be moved in different ways and has many uses.

A lot of drawbridges were built as part of castles over moats. Nowadays, modern drawbridges are built across various. bodies of water, so it could be lifted manually if a boat is going under it and lowered to allow cars to pass.

Medieval castles were often surrounded by a moat or ditch crossed by a wooden bridge for protection. Some earlier castles had a bridge designed to be destroyed during an attack, but drawbridge became more common.

The bridge would be raised and lowered using ropes and chains attached to a windlass?!?!? in a chamber in the gatehouse. Only a light bridge could be raised without any counterweight so a form of bascule?!?! is normally found. the bridge could extend into the passage beyond the pivot point?!?! WHAT ARE THESE WORDS! either above a pit or in the form of counterweight beams that drop onto the floor.

The chains themselves could be attached to counterweights. in some cases a ?portcullis? provides the weight. by the 20th century a bascule? the arrangement was provided by lifting arms (gaffs) above and opposite to a bridge deck which ends were stuck together by chains to the ‘lifting end’ of the bridge; in the raised position the ‘gaffs’ would fit into slots in the gatehouse wall “trainers” which can still be seen at some castles.

 

 

 

 

Inspiration

My castle was inspired by this.

It is the Highclere castle located in England built in 1679 and renovated in 1840 aproxmetly

 

 

 

 

Design

 

This is where I put my design.

This is my final results video of the final product in my castle

 

Reflection

In this paragraph, I am supposed to ask myself WWW What Went Well and EBI Even Better If. What went well was almost everything. It was really fun experimenting and it was the first time I got to use hot glue. I made a working drawbridge, a moat and much, much more! Even Better If. I could of added a working flagpole but I could not find how to do so on the internet, so instead I made a tower and put a flag at the top.

Hello world this is my properties of the sound unit,

I hope you enjoy it!

Properties of Sound I

In class, we cut a small hole in two cups And stuck a string in the hole. Then we had One person on one And another on the other side. But….. it didn’t work!

 

Properties of Sound II

We did another experiment, which was… putting our ears to our desks and where hitting them with our fists and it was cool I Guess. But wait that’s Not it! There is more we also did it with other things all the way from a door to ollies head!

(notes his head sounded hollow)

Properties of Sound III

Now for the coolest one…

We used sound tuners and did super fun things! first, we hit our desks at the same time then we hit whatever we want!

After that the teacher wanted us to settle down and then told us to stop then she gave us a cup of water and we hit our desks with the tuner and dipped it in the cup and…

It like made a big splash.

Properties of Sound IV

This is the second coolest one so we used the cup from before then added some foil over the top, then put sand and hit our desks, and then… the sand exploded kind of maybe like uh…..

now for the last one we got papers of an ear then we put clay and wrote in a box what part of the ear the clay is in!

I hope you enjoyed It so… Yeah………….

Wait… oh yeah

Here are some images from my properties of sound booklet

Hello, this is my blog post about light, I hope you like it!

Artificial sources of light versus natural sources

We/my class sorted out manmade sources of light versus natural sources.

down here is manmade sorces of light, and below it, is natural.

Artificial sources of light: glowsticks, fireworks, lightbulbs, candles, oil lamp.

Natural sources of light: fireflies sunlight glow worms.

 

 

 

Objects that emit light, Objects that reflect light

This time we sorted out objects that emit light and one that reflect light.

These are the ones we sorted.!

Light emitters: HDTV, candle, sunlight, moon, star.

Light reflectors: table, water bottle, bowling shoes.

also here a random fact luminous means something that emits light and non-luminous means a random object that doesn’t

Experiment 1:   In the first experiment we lined up cards with holes in the middle except for one in the back because that

one had a target on it but we shined a flashlight at the cards and hoped it hit it, and sure enough it went through!

 

 

 

 

Experiment 2:What makes a good reflector?

I did an experiment about reflecting a flashlight at different things such as glass, tinfoil, crumpled tinfoil, black paper,

white paper, and green paper.

the best reflector was crumpled tinfoil and the worst was

black paper.
