Basketball

 Alex and I have been going to a basketball camp every Monday for about ten weeks and I have improved greatly in my skills. The teachers are nice and so are the other students.  We usually start by doing some exercises then some drills and usually end with a game. The teachers order special reversible jerseys and shirts. The camp goes from September to December.  I'm also signed up from January to March.

Sign Language

 Sign language is a very important language for deaf and mute people. Even though some deaf people can talk a lot of them either choose not to or can't and they choose to use sign language. Sign language is a way of talking with your hands to make different words. I have been learning signs for two months and I have been learning a lot about the culture.

small pox

 Smallpox was an infectious disease that became a pandemic around 1870-1874 and killed around five hundred thousand people and the symptoms of it was high fever, fatigue, severe back pain, vomiting, and bumps that could fill with puss. death often appeared six to seven days after caching the illness.

Remembrance day

 Remembrance Day is a day when we take some time to remember all the soldiers who gave their lives for us to win wars.  We remember the fallen soldiers by wearing poppy pins and by going to the remembrance day service. I painted some poppies to remember the fallen soldiers.

Healthy Living

    Your mental health is very important. One of the best ways to keep yourself healthy is by eating vitamins like vitamins B, A, or C. I am going to be working on getting better sleep, eating less carbs, and trying to get out more to help my mental health. Your mental health is also tied to your physical health so a good way to keep yourself healthy is by running and biking. Other things can cause mental health problems such as thinking too much on the past. Thinking I should not have done that thing and I should have done something else can cause depression. By thinking too much about the future you can get anxiety.  

 Matthew 6:34 says Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Your routine is a very important part of your day. It can help lower the number of decisions in your day which can help you have less stress in a day. I have been doing a routine for about as long as i can remember and it helps me have fewer decisions in my life. I like it because with my ADHD I have some problems making decisions and it helps me live healthier 

the difference between endemic, epidemic, and pandemic

 The Difference Between Endemic, Epidemic, And Pandemic. 

Endemics are diseases like the common cold and they will always be here and they have a low chance to kill people. Epidemics are in a widespread area like all of Victoria. If two-thirds of the people in Victoria all got sick that would be an epidemic. Pandemics as you have seen from 2019-now is a sickness that is so widespread that it covers a large geographic area.  Covid spread to the entire world.

Tires

 Tires

Alex and I have been retreading some shopping cart tires for three dollars a tire and we finished our first few boxes and we are going to be paid $153.00 dollars for doing them. This is our invoice it shows you how much the employer owes you.

It is really fun and I love to do it. In this picture right here we are working on retreading the tires.

Photography

I have been starting to learn how to take photos.

I am doing a project in ADST and it includes learning photography

so I have been working on taking some photos.

This photo was taken from me on the deck and Kodi looking in so that is why there are some smudges.

These are my best photos of my dogs.

 

Cells

 

characteristics of living things

All living things share five characteristics.

Number one all living things require energy.

Number two all living things respond to their environment. 

Number three all living things get rid of waste.

Number four all living things reproduce.

Number five all living things grow and develop.

 

Cells

Cells are the building blocks of life. We have trillions of cells in our bodies and each minute thousands of skin cells are falling out of our body, but don't worry because we re-create cells just as fast as they fall. The world's largest single cell is the yoke of an ostrich egg. Cells reproduce but they can only reproduce from another living cell. Cells are the smallest living organisms in the world and all living things are made from cells.

 

We made a plant cell out of jello.

eukaryotic and prokaryotic are the two types of cells eukaryotic cells are the type of cells that make up plant animals and humans. eukaryotic cells have something called a nucleus which is the thing that holds all the DNA. Prokaryotic cells are bacteria and they can withstand volcanic vents

cellular respiration/photosynthesis

cellular respiration is when a cell takes oxygen and solar energy to create glucose as energy for the plant. It may seem like photosynthesis but unlike photosynthesis cellular respiration can happen in every cell not just plant cells.
