PH Scale

PH scale

PH is known as Acid and Base. The lower the number in PH scale is the higher the acid will be and higher the number in PH scale is the higher the base will be. The PH scale measure the number between 0 to 14. There are also acid and base that are inside human body so once the PH is unbalanced, it will cause many problems inside your body. To balance PH inside body, we need to eat more farm eggs(contain a lot of protein), gluten free grain(nuts & peanuts), refine sugar, etc and there are things that are inferior to  the body such as coconut oil, alcohol, black tea, chocolate, etc. If the PH is unbalanced, commonly there will be issue in the blood and can occur in bran, heart and lungs. Make sure your PH is balanced inside your body. Also, in class we have a experiment about PH testing that the Acid and Base mixed together.

 

Once the indicator pours into each liquid inside the glass, the result will the different color that can define acid, neutral or either base. The redder it is, the stronger the acid contains inside the glass. Then, it will become purple similar to the indicator as it seems in the neutral area and turn blue. If it has a stronger base, it will become yellow like when the indicator pours into the bleach.

  • When the lemon and bleach mixed together, there nothing really happens because bleach has a stronger base. In the video, the lemon juice doesn’t completely resolve into the bleach.
  • When the vinegar and baking soda mixed together, it’s starting to release Carbon Dioxide gas which makes it create many bubbles and explode which used in one of the volcano experiment.
  • When the sprite and toothpaste solution pour together, there nothing really happen because it’s both weak acid and base. Once sprite and toothpaste mixed together, it creates a different color solution.

Python List

During the multimedia class, we continue from the python lesson from last term, but for this session we are learning about python list. To learn that, we need to understand what is list to python. List is basically a collection of items that is ordered and changeable, written in square bracket and also allow to duplicate the items. Accessing Items is like to reach to one specific items that you want. Also, remember that the computer always count from zero. For example:

thislist = [“Ant”, “Bear”, “Cat”]

print (thislist[1])

Once this code activate, it will print “Bear” because as I mention before python start to count from zero so “Ant” is zero, “Bear” is one and “Cat” is two. Also the word that are in the list is called “index”. We also can change the index in the code from “Bear” to “Elephant”. In class we called that a change the items value. For instance:

thislist = [“Ant”, “Bear”, “Cat”]

thislist[1] = “Elephant”

print (thislist)

This code will print “Ant”, “Elephant”, “Cat” because in the python code, it tell to change from “Bear” to “Elephant”. Once you print it, you will see it like this: “Ant”, “Bear “Cat”, but you want it to be like a checklist so you can use this code to make it become like a checklist:

thislist = [“Ant”, “Bear”, “Cat”]

for x in thislist:

print(x)

After you do it, you will see it print:

Ant

Bear

Cat

These are some of the functions that use in the python list. There are more that we can use such as how to check if the items exist, list length, Append, Insert and Remove items. Also, there is a python dictionaries, but I only write about the Python list. To learn this code, it is really challenging for me because as I am not a native English speaker and now I have to learn more about computer language.

Community Traveling Theater II

This my third exploration and it is the exploration that continues from the first traveling theater. For this round, we are doing plan B which is trying to use what we have for the traveling theater and it is traveling by bus.  Last time our plan is about building in a truck, but its theme not working because of the budget so we try our plan B that travel that set up by our students who we called “Crew”. Our exploration went to two provinces in Cambodia and do different shows, play, musical performance etc. As we go on, it’s really successful seeing our people, community, villagers and different students enjoy seeing the performance that we put on during the trip. Also, in these seven weeks of learning, we really enjoy setting up the stage for performers, actors, and actress. This experience makes us become a professional setting crew.

Decimals

Image result for decimal

In math class, we learn a different unit of math every day so for round 2 we learned about decimal. The beginning of class, it always the start of how you need to know and calculate it. For decimal, we start learning about the place of the decimal which the decimal start with tenth and continue to hundredth, thousandth and more. Calculate decimal is not difficult because it’s like calculate the whole number, but it weird when you multiply or divide with it. There are always tricks for math so is multiply and divide decimal. For multiplication, you need to move point to the left and for division move point to the right. The zero is always useless after the decimal. We also do Khan Academy to improve our decimal skill. For this term, it’s ended for decimal and continue to the next one.

 

Black Snake Experiment

The global moment of carbon between the abiotic environment, including the ocean and organisms, is known as the carbon cycle. Most of everything on earth is made out of carbon.

Thursday is an experiment for STEM class, so we did the black snake experiment. This is the formula of the black snake experiment:

  • 20 gram of sugar
  • One bowl of sand
  • 5 gram of baking soda
  • Some alcohol
  • A beaker
  • A lighter or match

The step to making:

  • First, put a full bowl of sand and wet it with alcohol
  • Second, mixed sugar and baking soda together in a beaker
  • Then, pour sugar and baking sugar out of the beaker and pour it in the middle of the sand
  • Finally, fire it with a lighter or match to make it burn and you will see the result

The Search for Identity

English Literacy always has its own theme for each school term and for this term our theme is about “The Search for Identity”. We are having our assessment which is reading a fictional book to identify the characters and having a discussion with our team about the story every week with different roles such as Inferencer, Summarizer, Symbolizer, Words Detector and Visualizer. For me, I am reading a book by John Green, Looking for Alaska. Like a quote from John Green about looking for Alaska written: “An only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive”.  That is why identify characters and author meaning in a book is very important. The way story in Looking for Alaska tell is more like a romance novel, but it’s also about a friendship that suffers together in a boarding school. However, in this class, we also create our own poems that inspire by George Ella Lyon who is a girl from Kentucky, United State. I have my own poem which is about “I am from” that related to our theme. This is my poem:

I am from a tricycle,

from Dumex and gruel

I am from the Lumber smooth

I am from the jujube

The java apple whose long gone limbs I remember as if they were my own.

 

I’m from red pocket and Caishen,

from Grandmother and Father

I’m from gathering and sharing,

and from remembering.

 

I’m from spirit told and helping,

and “S’art Jea Nix” that sing along

I’m from Lunar New Year

I’m from the Red Cross sign and Cantonese spiderweb,

family recipe cookies and marine under the river

from a flow of the river from China,

Grandma ends up in Steung Treng

Bracelet of working hard

In my heart, the achieve after Bloodshed

In Khmer Literacy, we learned about different old Cambodian stories, but we were more focusing on a story which called “Kolab Pailing” or in English meant “Rose of Pailin”. This is a summary of the story:

It’s a story of a man named “Chet” who his father died and had to go to work at Pailin which is one of the Cambodia provinces as a gem collector. He’s a clever man and had treated his boss perfectly including his intelligent daughter. It’s a story that talks about the love of different class of people which was a daughter of a wealthy family that in love with a man who works for her father as a gem collector. It told the story of struggle and the betray of a high-class people in society.

Traditional Food Exploration

This is a traditional food exploration which we are focusing on explore tradition in Cambodia, story behind each dish, to understand the transformation of Cambodian traditional foods from the past to the present and future and discover and share how food impacts family, society, and culture. To find good answers for our goal, we need to go on the trip and interview some of the professional chefs to see the different perspective from them. As we interviewed them, we found two different definitions of Cambodian food and Khmer food. From a perspective of chef Joannes Riviere who own Cuisine Wat Damnak restaurant in Siem Reap said that “Cambodia food and Khmer food is different. Cambodia food is some kind of food that influenced by other countries but has been eaten in Cambodia a long time ago. For Khmer food is foods or recipe that created by our ancestors themselves.” For chef Kethana who own Sugar Palm restaurant in Siem Reap said that “There are no differences between Cambodia food and Khmer food.” To end our exploration successfully, we had created a blog called “Khmer Cuisine”.

English Literacy, Justice

Literacy has been increase in this past few year. I learnt different type of sentences until paragraphs and now essay. Last year, our class mostly written about descriptive essay and now we are writing argumentative essay. Before starting to write the argumentative essay, we learnt the SDGs goal which was Environmental Justice that were talking about the minority group in Connecticut. Also, we have been assign to have four team which had a different country that is talking about people who are staying in the landfill. Also, we got to know a little bit about the data of civil justice in Southeast Asia. To end the goal, we learnt more about social Justice and how the problems affect us. To come to conclusion of the term, now we are writing a argumentative about our past explorations that are solving problems or somethings related to SDGs goal.
