In English class, I created a future life chart to imagine life after high school and wrote the following essay in reflection: Throughout the course of this project, it has become increasingly apparent to me that living is expensive. I would honestly rather live in a self-sustaining cabin in the woods and farm my own […]

[AP Research] Strategies & Scenarios
[post three] One strategy that I used during class to manage my time wisely and finish a task/goal was to set twenty minute timers and fully focus on working for those minutes. Then, I would take a minute to break and begin the timer over again. Another strategy was listening to music while working, […]
[AP Research] Real World Connections
[post two] Now that my AP Research project is complete, it can help the outside world by bringing to attention some of the negative topics that commonly appear in popular music. Several studies have observed that people youth who experience harmful or less than savory content through media, especially including music, they are more […]
[AP Research] Challenges & Changes
[post one] The first draft of my research question was In what ways can conventional fertilizers present in farmland runoff around the Lake Erie Watershed be altered or managed to decrease the probability of eutrophication within surrounding freshwater bodies? This proved to be too broad of a question for there to be specific data that could […]
Bills: The Long Path To Law
To demonstrate the long and winding road that bills must travel to become a law, I parodied a monopoly game board. Bills start as ideas that eventually gain enough support to be discussed on the floor of both the Senate and the House. Depending on if the two houses vote ay or nay, the bill […]

Trig Functions with the Clinometer!
A clinometer is a tool used to perform indirect measurements and approximate the heights of objects that would normally be difficult or impossible to measure. For instance, my group member and I used a clinometer that we built to determine the height of our school building. As you can see in the model I created […]
Parabola Selfie!
For the Unit 4 Parabola Selfie Project in my Algebra 2 Trigonometry class, I went hunting for an a parabola in real life! I found a pair of safety goggles with lenses that measured 2.75 inches across and 1.5 inches from the vertex to the nose bridge. Using Desmos Graphing Calculator, I was able to […]
Three Ways To Solve
When solving a system of equations, there are three possible methods: graphing, substitution, and elimination. To represent this, I solved the system 4x + 3y = -6 and x + 3y = 21 with each of the different methods. After solving, I think that the graphing method was the easiest to use. This […]
