Science Fair Reflection

Posted on by yukyeomj2019
  1. Our research question was “Which rotten fruits or vegetables would conduct the most electricity?” and the problem we were going to solve was to reduce the waste of food by turning it into an alternate energy source. 
  2. This is an important topic to investigate as the world is being polluted a lot by the things that create our other energy sources. If we could use food that is not edible anymore and do something to it that could make it useful to use as an alternate energy source, that could help a lot.
  3. We had researched what fruits and vegetables could produce a reasonable amount energy when it is ripe and healthy as we predicted that they would be the ones that would still be able produce some energy when not so healthy. We also researched the different chemicals that make the fruits generate energy so that we would know not to do something to the fruit/veggies that would take away that chemical.
  4. We planned to have the rotten fruits and test if they conducted electricity or not. We planned to use copper wires and galvanized nails, an ammeter, a Light Emitting Diode, and fruits/veggies such as potatoes, citrus fruits, and tomatoes. We had not been able to collaborate much over the break so the procedure is not yet refined. Though we did have a rough procedure, going as follows: have different rotten fruits and veggies roughly the same size, three (minimum) of each fruit. Then, we would make a circuit and use the same one all the time. One by one, test each fruit and record the results using the ammeter.
  5. We did not connect with an adult or experts to help with our experiment.

 

IB 9 Science Quote

Posted on by yukyeomj2019

“Science is a way of thinking, much more than it is a body of knowledge.”

– Carl Sagan (astronomer, 1934-1996)

I picked this quote because I agree with. Many people see science as just a body of knowledge, a bunch of facts and information, but I believe that science is much more than just that. Science is a way of thinking that we can apply into our lives, a process, a cycle of steps that we can follow to achieve knowledge or a doorway to discovering something new. Yes, science has lots of information and is a body of knowledge now, but what about before? Before we had all of this already discovered knowledge, science was and is used to gather knowledge, to critically or creatively think to attain the information we have now. A real life example would be the Scientific Process. The Scientific Process is a guide for us to think in a cycle, to observe, make a hypothesis, test and collect data, analyze the data, see if our hypothesis was correct, and then to go back to the start again.

My Favourite Video

Posted on by yukyeomj2019

Although this isn’t really a video, I like this YouTube video the most out of all the other ones. I like this video because I like piano, and the calm, peaceful, simple, yet beautiful peaces that Yiruma creates are ones that I admire very much and like. These songs can vary in mood and feeling; some could express sadness, longing, and wanting, while others can express happiness, joy, and love that Yiruma felt, feels, or imagines. Through all the varying feelings, tunes, melodies, and strengths, I love all of the things that the composer has been able to make out of a simple piano and the sounds that come from it. This could have all been meaningless sound, but as all composers do, Yiruma changed the sounds we can here in our everyday lives in to a story of his own, like a book that is written using different notes rather than with words. This is why I love this video, and since it has a lot of this composer’s pieces put in one, it is all the better.

My Favourite Picture

This is my favourite photo. I like this photo because I like flowers, plants and nature, especially close up photos of them. Another reason I like this photo is because I took this photo myself when I went camping during the summer, and also because it it reminds me of the great time I had at camping with my family. I took many other photos while I was camping but still, I like this one the best because I like small, beautiful, and neat things, all of which this flower is. This is a very meaningful and beautiful picture that I love to look at and think back on how amazing my summer was.

As I am religious (I am Christian), a lot of the quotes that give me strength, confidence, and motivation are from the bible. This, as shown, is a bible verse from the book of Revelations, and is my favourite quote. It is my favourite quote because when I am feeling sad, lonely, or just don’t know what to do, I can read this promise that I can believe in. Just reading it makes me feel better. When I read this, I can be reassured that I will be comforted and that everything will be new, each day and every second I live. I love all the quotes that I read from the bible as they give me motivation, and Revelations 21:4 is my favorite of them all.

About Me

Posted on by yukyeomj2019

Hello, everyone! I’m Yukyeom (Yoo-key-yum) and I am a student of the sd43 school district. I have many things I like to do during my free time, such as reading, writing short stories, going outside to play sports, writing music, and playing piano pieces on my old piano. I was not born in Canada, but because I came at a very young age, I am much more confident in English than I am in my native language. Things that I am good at include handling instruments, music, and athletics. If you don’t know me, I may seem very shy and quiet, but when you get to know me, you’ll see that I am outgoing and talkative. I am a very lucky person who has amazing friends that are kindhearted, smart, and fun to be with.
