Kylie's Open House!
Kylie Hicks, period 3
Paragraph one- Earthquake PBL Project
This project was to make a model of a house for Tony Stark that could withstand an earthquake.
Some things that were in my design were:
-popsicle sticks for walls
-straws for the roof
-String to tie roof together
-Windmill made of toothpicks
From thsi project, I learned that to builld a house that will withstand an earthquake, you need to keep a lot of things in mind like braces for support or bolting things to the walls of houses.
Paragraph two- 30 hands project
Here are some things that I learned from doing the project:
- What gases contribute to the greenhouse effect
- Volcanic eruptions and other natural things contribute to the greenhouse effect, not just things like gas from cars.
What I liked about the project was that you could be creative and add cool pictures and fonts to your project.

Paragraph three- invention convention
For the invention convention, im working with Viviana and Sofia to make the wind power plant. It works too reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Our innovation is a way for people to get energy without using too many foslil fuels.
Paragraph four- extra credit
My favorite unit we covered in science was the atmosphere unit. I liked it because you got to learn about space and earth and what is outside of earth.
Some things I learned are:
- There are several layers of the atmosphere
- The greenhouse effect is what keeps earth warm
My favorite labs were:
- Hot and Cold Movements
- Air Takes up Space
