Aiden's Wellness/Fitness Blog Post 2014

3A. My wellness wheel would run pretty smoothly, but the psychological wheel would trip it up.
3B. I am most well in the physical section, as I really exercise a lot and do many things.
3C.I am the least well in psychological, as, as I don't really do the best I can sometimes.
3D. I would want to make my Physical wellness better and get it to a five, by getting more sleep every night.

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Soccer outside: 1 hour	None	None	None	Soccer with my brother - any amount of time	Cricket - 2 hours Soccer with brother -1 hour	Soccer - 1 hour

These five benefits of exercise caught my attention:

• Makes body more agile. 
• Enhances immune system. 
• Strengthens the heart. 
• Improves posture. 
• Enhances quality of sleep.

One benefit I want to improve on is to enhance my quality of sleep, as I usually get tired during the day. In my opinion, I think that I am not getting enough exercise, but it is better than before, where I didn't do anything at all. If I need to make some changes, it would be to get more exercise, and I would do that by doing an intramural after school. I will also maintain it by doing it every week.Exercise helps you maintain physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

Investigation 1 Blog Post

I have found that changing a percentage to a ratio has made a lot of ads seem much clearer if there is a large difference or the huge percentage difference. As there could have been just 3 people voting, and if one person says no and two people say yes, it is automatically a 50% difference,but there is not much difference in the number of people.

Part to part ratios are ratios which compare one part to another part, whilst part to whole ratios compare the whole thing to one part.

You can scale or use equivalent ratios to solve a proportion by making both a fraction, then making the denominators equal to compare them properly.

You can scale or use equivalent ratios to find out if 9/11 of a packet or 6/7ths of a packet is more, and choose the one that is more.

What moves the plates?

The core of the earth under the lava is so hot, that it makes the magma under the crust move, which causes it to move in a pattern called a convection cell, which basically is a pattern where the magma rises, cools, and goes back into the mantle. The path that it is moving in is called a convection current, and depending on which way it rotates, (anti-clockwise or clockwise), the plates will move in that direction. The crust then spreads in two different directions: apart from each other, and directs outwards. The old segments of the crust will then end up under the earth, heated up by magma,  and the new rock will be formed at the top.

Basketball

I demonstrated a pass, pivot, and a spin during the video, for example when I was in trouble from Thomas, I quickly passed to Ben, and he tried to shoot the ball. An example of a pivot is when he was walking up to defend me, and I spun, around, pivoted, but then got the ball stolen off me.

I can improve my accompanying and evading movements by making sure to pass better, and also to do more cut-fakes, as I didn't do many of them.

Unit 1 Reflection

1. The common properties of all polygons are they all have at least three sides, and have at least 180 degrees. Also, the sides do not cross each other. Exactly two sides meet at every vertex.
2.The measure in degrees tells you if it is an acute, obtuse, straight, reflex, or right angle. Some common benchmark angles are the ones that are divisible by 30°, 45°, or 90°. Examples are 120°, or even 315°.
3. To estimate angle measure, one strategy is to draw a midpoint on the middle of the angle. Then, use a compass to draw a circle around it. Afterwards, you can draw in the "benchmark angles", and then estimate from there. Or, you could just do an estimate by drawing it in your head. To find accurate measurements with tools, put the centre of the bottom line of the protractor on the part where the two angles touch, make sure the angle line on the bottom is aligned with the bottom line on the protractor, and measure.

Learning Behaviors

Two things that I am good at are arriving to class prepared with resources, materials, and assignments consistently, and completing my homework to the best of my ability every day. A weakness that I have is to arrive on class late as once or twice I forget to check the time and am late to class. All I think I need to do is to keep on doing the same thing and to remember to check my watch at lunch.

Google Science Fair

In the google science fair, I think the "wearable sensors" for tracking the movements and wanderings of Alzheimer's patients by Kenneth Shinozuka is the most efficient and one that would effect our society the most for three reasons. The first is that is is easy and cheap to create, as it does not use many materials for the sensors. Another important reason is that it would save a lot of Alzheimer's patients from wandering off and getting into an accident at night. Finally, I think that one last reason this should be voted as the best "Google Science Project" is that the the sensor is lightweight and easy to use, and finally that it will relieve a lot of stress for the caretakers of people with Alzheimer's.
