Sending and receiving

I think I did well on remembering to put my hands on the target and sort of tilting when throwing. But I think I could have improved on raising my hands higher and reaching my legs out to put more force into throwing. And I noticed from the beginning to now, I can throw higher balls with higher targets (with more power in it.) And I applied this into Tchoukball by receiving (and absorbing after you catch the ball.) Also throwing with higher targets.

Science refletion


One thing I learned from this unit was density. Density is the amount of mass per cubic volume. And the formula for density is mass divided by volume. I learned something about  this because Mrs. Hill taught me about a heart, and if you spilt the heart in half horizontally, there's a M and the top and a V at the bottom. The line sometimes represent divide in division. So M= Mass and V=volume. Mass divided by volume equals to density. I think one of the most memorable and meaningful things I did was the submarine because that taught me how to problem solve and to revise over and over again if I didn't get something or if it didn't become successful. It was also meaningful because it taught me that different people can have different ideas. Another thing that was memorable and meaningful is the layers of liquids because that also had to do with density. For example, the bottom color is at negative buoyancy because the liquid is denser than the others. And this is meaningful because I learned more about density and understand it better than before.

Fraction Comparison Reflection

Question: You know how to compare fractions using cross products, LCD, reasoning. When is it better to use one method over another? 

When both denominators don't have numbers that are in common, you would use cross products or reasoning depending on if the question is hard to do in your head. But when the denominators can be equivalent, then you would use LCD to find out which one is bigger. But easy problems like 2/4 and 1/3, you can use reasoning because you already know how much 1/3 is and how much 2/4 is.

Sportsmanship- on the sporting field and in the everyday life

1 example of sportsmanship: Never groan if you lose but learn from the mistakes I made. An example of that would be I would self-reflect about what you did good on or what you should work on etc.

3 ways I can demonstrate sportsmanship in PE: I can always try my best even though sometimes it doesn't work. And if I win, I never brag but compliment someone after class. Also I shake hands after every game.

2 ways that I can demonstrate sportsmanship in everyday life: I don't brag if I win, I just say "good game." I also play fair/ play by the rules. Like if we were doing water polo at our home pool, I would still play in the deep end and only use one hand to pass.

1 new way that you can demonstrate sportsmanship: I can try complimenting more, like during the game AND after the game.

Here's my poster:
