Finder Device

Finder, conceived by Chu Wang, Yonghua Zhang, Qiujin Kou and Qian Yin is a smartphone-like device to help you find lost items. With the help of RFID tracking (small stickers) you can get step by step directions to find anything. You simply put the stickers on commonly lost items. name it and it can find it from anywhere. It is not currently for sale but would certainly be very useful for people like me.

Biology

For seventh period class I have Ms. Sistarenik. She teaches Biology, Forensics, Genetics, and Biotechnology.She has a Bachelors of Science from Montclair State University and a Masters in Education from Marygrove College. She is currently out on maternity leave and Mrs. Pielech is there in her place.  

I personally enjoy how we usually work and groups and discuss things.  We can use the board to share and explain things. It's more casual and comfortable and that lets me work better. Everyone will start laughing for no reason and I'll just be confused. 

For technology we have a lot. We have a lot of tools we use for labs and projects. We got beaker, test tubes microscopes, etc. I look forward to to learning about different animals and how their grouped. I'd also like to learn about evolution and how creatures live and changed. There's probably some other things but I can't think of any. I'm really enjoy her class and are looking forward to the rest o the year.

Life Armour Pod

 

This pod, developed by the Japenese company Pond, Protects the user in case of tsunamis or other disasters. It was created after the large tsunami and earthquake hit Japan last year. The spherical pod made of reinforced plastic can shelter up to four people from outside disasters. The pod itself is four feet in diameter and weighs 175 pounds with urethane foam walls to prevent injury. It floats, is fireproof and can sustain over nine tons of pressure. (the equivalent of two elephants falling from the sky) The inside features GPS, solar panels, storage compartments, batteries, a life jacket, a megaphone and stored food. These can be purchased for around five thousand dollars in a variety of colors. (Getting Barbie Pink)

 

9/11

I have nothing to share on 9/11 since I was too young to remember it. My siblings tell me that when it happened the school was evacuated and they went home early. My mom drove up to the school as fast as she could to get them. Reading about it online and watching it on video you get a feel for what it like but i'll never know  Although now it is simply a day to feel for the lives that were lost.
