Lionel Messi is Considered the Best current player in the world. I think that the critics are right. He scored 91 goals in one season, a great record. He plays for FC Barcelona, one of the top clubs in the nation.
He was FIFA player of the year and plays for Argentina for National Duty. His number is 10, the same number as soccer legend, Pelé. He has won 45 different awards and he's still 27. He is the best player in the world and many people think that way. 

List of Materials:
-Bamboo Wood-
-Copper-
-Plastic-
-Brass-
-Aluminum-


Predictions of the rankings:


1. Aluminum will be the best conductor of heat.
2. Brass will be the second best conductor of heat.
3. Copper will be the third best conductor of heat.
4. Plastic will be the fourth best conductor of heat.
5. Bamboo wood will be the worst conductor of heat.

Real Rankings:

What we did: We put butter on the top of each rod. The heat energy would go through the rod and how hot the rod was it would warm up the butter. The butter would slide down the rod so the order of how they slid down meant how good of a conductor it was.

Questions:

1. Describe how the heat energy transferred from the hot plate to the butter.
2. How did the results compare to your predictions.
3. Which of the tested materials were the two best conductors?  What is your evidence?
   
4. Which of the tested materials were the two worst conductors?  What is your evidence?
5. Do you think water is a good or poor conductor?  Why?
   
6. Why do you think it matters which material is a good or bad conductor?  How do we use conductors in our life?

 
Answers: 
1. The Energy of the heat plate went into the water and warmed it up. The heat of the water heated up the rod so the rod got warmer. The rod got warm enough so the butter could melt. Some rods warmed up faster than others.
2. My results were different than my predictions because I used a different stradegdy to figure out which butter would slide down first. 
3. The two best materials were copper and aluminum because they heat up real fast and well. Think of a metal frying pan. You don't want to touch it after it's been on a stove it will be really hot. The two rods are different metals. So they get really hot really fast.
4.The two worst conductors are the plastic and the aluminum. Those two are bad conductors because they don't heat up real well. That's why you never put a plastic or wood plate in the microwave oven. They just don't heat up fast. It takes them awhile because the wood or plastic has different energy.
5. I think the water is a good conductor because water has special chemicals that let the energy go through it.
6. I think it matters that it is a good conductor because think of wires that carry electricity. The electricity goes through the wires. Think if the wire was plastic. The electricity wouldn't move at all.

Questions: 1. Which side is easier to debate: Patriot or Loyalist?  Why?
            2. You completed History Alive 10 on paper and History Alive 11 on computer. Which way made you LEARN
                more? Why?

Answers: 1.The Patriot's side is easier to debate because the British Parliament is not treating the people in the colonies equally and the people in the colonies came from Britain. Britain is taxing the colonies unfairly and creating harsh laws to control the colonists.
2. I think that learning it on the computer helped me learn more because on paper there were more possible distractions on the page and it was slower having to read out loud. On the computer, there was just the text and I could read inside my head to read faster and understand what I am reading better.
   

1. In the beginning, the red water in the cup was warmer than the regular water in the bowl.
2. Over time, the cold water gradually got warmer up until a certain point.
3. Over time, the warm water gradually got cooler down until a certain point. 
4. Our graph showed what happened because it move closer together over time. 
5. I noticed that the lines had suddenly had got really close so that means the temperatures are close.
6. The temperature of the air in the room changed the temperature of the cold water in the bucket so it is warmer and more like the temperature in the room.
7. The temperature of the air in the room changed the temperature of the warm water in the cup so it is colder and more like the temperature of the room. 
8. I think the temperature of the water would be almost exactly the same after 20 minutes. At 15 minutes, they were like 2 degrees apart.
9. Well the energy didn't get transferred in ours but still, the food coloring in the water helped us determine it because then the coloring would have move with the water.

Something Positive: We were good about getting our questions and answers out to the opponent quickly so the debate was interesting and quick.
Something Negative: We needed to work on our accuracy of the answers we gave. I think some of them might not have been right but at least I knew some were correct. 
Our Behavior was: We had O.K behavior during the debate. Some people in my group were talking when they shouldn't have and people were goofing off. But that was only for a minute in the beginning but otherwise we were good during the rest.
Our Preparation:I think that our preparation could have been a bit better but it was better than I thought. We should have done a better job of preparing the actor for questions that the opponent asked him. But otherwise it was swell. But we had our intro ready and our questions so that was good.
Our final product: I think our overall final product was decent enough it wasn't an A+ grade but it was still good. In the end, everything came together to make our video. The bad thing is is that the video is really long and boring at times.
Our Focus: Our focus was fine. We all paid attention to what was going on. The only bad thing was that we had some distraction from our actor.

    My boss paid me today and it felt soooooo good to finally have some money in my pocket. I mean, I have been working hard to impress my boss and make good items but trust me, being a blacksmith is hard. I burned myself today and I ran it under water for a bit. But once the day was done and I had my money, I started to walk to the place where I was staying. My bosses' house.
    As I neared the street, a tax collector started pulling people over to pay their taxes. I knew I was up next so I took off running away from the tax collector. I did not want to pay that tax. The tax collector saw me running and shouted at me to stop. I bumped into another tax collector and he made me pay my tax. I had to pay a tax for buying new pants. And I had to pay a few more others but I didn't pay attention because I was so mad. I just paid the taxes and slumped to my place. The stupid Parliament. They are taxing us so unfairly. They just took some of my hard-earned money away! 20%!
    I was so enraged. I slumped home and got ready to do some chores so I could stay with my boss.

1. The Building that would represent my home was a regular home in 1768 Boston. The place where I work is a blacksmith shop around some trees.
2. My Google doc script clearly shows that I understand my subject because we included all the nessasary information made it fun and educational.
3. We made sure he knows we know what a loyalist is and a patriot is because a patriot doesn't like what the parliament is doing but loyalists agree with the parliament. So we made sure that the loyalist agrees with the parliament and the patriot doesn't.

    Question #1 The stamp act effects were: 1. They had to pay taxes on Newspapers, licenses and pamphlets, and any printed paper. 2. The colonists didn't want to pay extra for the things they used every day so they got angry. They were angry because they didn't have any say in making the law. 3. Soon, colonists started to stoop buying the stamps and then people would protest in the streets.
    Question #2 The Boston Tea Party wasn't a cause to the revolutionary war because it was just angry colonists dumping tea off the ships.It didn't have any significance. Just people dumping tea.
    Question #3 Since I am now currently living in 1768 Boston, I think that the colonies should declare independence from England because England is taxing them unfairly, forcing the colonists not to do things, and creating new, harsh laws against them that are unfair to the colonists. England is overusing their power to take control of all the colonists. They are abusing that control and now the colonists will fight against England.  
   

1. The easiest form of energy to find was electrical because there were so many different things that use electricity.
2. The hardest form of energy to find was chemical because the things in school are mostly electric or can go in some other category that it fits in even better.
3. Our group worked well together taking the pictures and spreading the pictures out in the different catagories. The biggest challenge we had was finding the best things to take pictures of.

    My Job is a Blacksmith and I chose it because I like to craft things and work hard. I also want to learn what the items they had back then and what they used them for. It was hard to find a place to stay because other people already had apprentices and didn't want to house another one. I didn't yet have enough money to rent a hotel for the night so I took the burden of extra chores from my master's house so I could stay with him.
    Today was a tough day. I was unused to no electricity and the un-modern houses. I heard a cry of pain from a soldier and some men were pinning him down. I had to walk the streets asking owners of shops asking if I could be their apprentice. Some were busy and wouldn't talk but luckily the blacksmith said he had a minute. The water wasn't as clean as I thought it would be. But I would say today was a hard day but I will be ready to go tomorrow.
