Living near a river is good because there many benefices. For example, many crops, people, and animals need large amounts of water to live. A river is a fresh water source and very good for life to sustain upon. If someone lives near a river, they can easily get water quickly and efficiently, other than another person, who lives farther away. When living near a river, people quickly adapt to its environment by making new inventions, like the pottery wheel, and understood how the river functions and make up calculations and math. When people invent new things and discover a new way, it makes further generations have an easier life to experience and make them smarter. Living near a river is also a good place for a major food hotspot. Since animals need water to survive, people have learned to fish and hunt nearside a river. When people thought about living near rivers, people also invented leisure activities and recreation, like kayaking, canoeing, and etc. This paragraph proves that living near a river is good because a river is a good water source, food source, and a good leisure spot, if you live closely to one, of course.
Early Humans and Us – Communities
We are learning about early human communities back in 1 million years ago and comparing them to modern human communities. The final product is a ThingLink describing how do people communicate back 1 million years ago to present day.
Operation: Warming and Cooling
I’m really proud of our penguin dwelling prototype. Even though our dwelling was made out of aluminum foil and mylar foil, this whole design not only states what the problem is (penguins having to suffer through climate change), but how we can change it just enough to have a clear understanding of what is next of the problem.
Something I would do differently is to remember what materials reflects the light and the heat like glass (insulator), what materials lets the heat and light go through them like plastic wrap, and what materials can absorb heat and light like felt (conductor).
The most hardest thing about this project is mainly updating on the storyboard. A lot of us in our group, possibly including me, feel lazy when writing and updating on the storyboard. In conclusion, we didn’t finish our storyboard to present to other people and get a picture for my blog.
I Am From
This is my humanities project: an I am from poem. GarageBand is used for creating the audio, StoryBird is used for the story development and illustrations, and iMovie binds the illustrations and the audio together. I hope you enjoy my video.

The water purifier experiment
This is our water purifier experiment. The goal of this challenge is to find the quickest to purify dirty water. Imagine that you are on an deserted island, and you need to find a way to purify the water. You are only allowed to use the materials that you find on an island.
Before we began, Hyeyoung and I used string (tree vines), cloth, a pocket knife, one and a half water bottles, glue (tree sap), gravel, dirt, and sand to create our purifier. First, we cut out the water bottle with the pocket knife, flipped the top part of the water bottle upside down, draped the bottom with cloth, and forced it onto the little cup. Then, we filled the opening section with rocks, dirt, gravel, and sand. When we tried to test it out, the water won’t completely purify, so we added another section onto the previous opening section, draped the bottom with cloth, and filled it with the same materials. When we tested it out again, it purified completely.
The process of purifying starts when impure water goes into the top section. The top section filters the water. Then, the water gets filtered again by the bottom section, just in case the top section didn’t purified it enough. Finally, the pure drinking water drips into the cup.
Blogging is Amazing!
