A letter to legislation

This is the first action project for my humanities class called, “Policy”. In this class we learned about different levels of legislation and more specifically about how a bill gets ratified. We even went to a city council meeting and listened to some of the legislation. In this action project we had to create a business style letter to a representative who works in legislation. This letter had to include a topic or issue that should be resolved and our goal is to show our representatives that our issue is important. One of my struggles during this action project was finding a topic that has I actually believe is important to myself. Eventually I chose to talk about the topic of Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg going to trial. Enjoy my project!

Midgey the Bridgy

This is the first action project for my STEAM class called “Urban Planning”. In this unit we learned about the strength of triangles and how to calculate them. We then used our knowledge to understand the structure of buildings and bridges, which led us into our action project. In this action project we had to create a design for a bridge and go through the process of creating it. After we finished making our bridges we had to test them. Each bridge had to hold at least ten pounds and the strongest bridge got extra credit.
