They refer to them as "Passion Projects." You may remember last cycle the students had to do their projects based around biology. This cycle they could do whatever they wanted. As long as they could explain to us the reason for their learning, and that it has a purpose, it was allowed. We go in on Friday...Read More...

Chapter One The Standing Stones “ Draw back to the corner of your mouth gently, and make sure the string touches your nose,” I instructed. “because if it doesn't—” “ It will hit my nose when I release,” my twelve-year-old sister Andrea cut me off. “Logan, you tell me that every time. Can I shoot now?” I sighed and stepped back, nodding. Andrea released the arrow. It landed with a light thunk in the center of a big oak tree we were using as a target. Come to think of it, it was probably the...Read More...

Hey everyone, For the past two cycles, I've been with this inquiry question "How might our world change in the next 100 years?" Here is my metamorphosis for this second cycle. How my inquiry now impacts my thinking After doing all my research, it really put things into perspective for me. It made me realize how quickly our world is changing. While researching, I discovered that technology has really just started evolving in the past 10 years, and compared to when it all started versus now,...Read More...

HOW COULD BE THE WORLD WITHOUT WILDLIFE ? What would the world absent of wildlife look like? We might think of a morning without the chiming song of birds, an ocean without whales spouting blasts of sea water beside ships, or a forest without an elephant,a hare,a leopard,a rhino,a buffalo or the king of the jungle the Lion that we all know. This is a world we cannot imagine, because it is one we should not imagine.If we continue with the factors affecting stand up together to make sure this...Read More...

Inquiry Question: Are competitive eaters inherent or acquired? This topic can be discussed and conducted in two ways, one is if the eater is inherent, and the other is if the eater is acquired. If the eater is inherent, I can investigate its backgrounds and physical structures. If the eater is acquired, I can investigate its living habits and eating habits. In both ways, I can get a correlation on why someone can eat this much food and what in the original causes this to happen. Also, I will...Read More...

Hi everyone! My cycle for my second inquiry question this year has come to an end. My question was "Why is Vancouver one of the most expensive places to live?" What I discovered through researching this topic has opened my eyes and made me very aware of all the prices my parents have to pay for gas, food, houses etc. It also gave me insight to how our government is dealing with these problems of high expenses in the city. In the end, I feel I have finished looking into this question, and I...Read More...

Hello everyone. When I started my project the question that I went in with was: How does recreational and industrial crabbing effect crab populations in British Columbia? The reason that I chose this topic was because when I first moved here I noticed all these people throwing these odd shaped nets into the water. Dozens and dozens of people in specific locations, throwing nets and catching crabs. Made me think...what's the effect? So that's why I chose it. I wanted to know more, so I got...Read More...

I mentioned the five different parts of your spine in my last post but in this one, I am going to go more into detail. So your Thoracic is known as the middle point. It connects the Cervical spine and connects to the Lumbar spine. The Lumbar spine refers to the lower back of which it curves inward towards your abdomen (your stomach). It connects with something called nerve tissue. Nerve tissue is a very soft and delicate substance and is easily damaged. I also mentioned your spine is just a...Read More...

Hi everyone! My inquiry question for this cycle is “What does Anime bring to us?”. I enjoy this research because I am interested in Anime, besides eSports which I wrote for last round. Basiclly, I didn't finish this round yet, until now, I introduced the history of Anime. Before Anime exist, due to the lower techique, they cannot make it to be a video, thus, people only have manga. Manga is said to originate from scrolls dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. Before WW2, the Americans...Read More...

Hello everybody! This round of research for me was all about fashion and the environment. The fashion industry has really had a harsh and harmful effect on nature, and I wanted to look into that a little. So, here we go. The fashion industry requires low costs to produce popular looks and trends with enough time that the looks will still be popular. But this means that mindfulness of the environment is a low priority, and the fashion industry has a very disturbing effect on the environment.Read More...

Hi everyone! My inquiry question for these past two cycles was: Why do cats behave the way they do? Learning about cat behaviour has been very enjoyable and useful to me as I have a cat of my own. I’ve looked into their anatomy, predatory behaviour, communication, personalities, stress and illnesses, evolution/domestication, and environmental factors that shape a cat’s behaviour. How my inquiry now impacts my thinking After doing this research, I’ve learned that cats are actually less...Read More...

Hello everyone, I am now done the topic of "Why do some teens feel the need to put great effort into their appearances while others don't?"

My inquiry question has greatly impacted my thinking in a positive way...Read More...

Hey everyone, I realize i have not been on in a very long time, sorry about that. That has two reasons, fist of all I did not have access to a computer for almost a month so that doesn't help, on the other hand is I had an internal argument with myself. I realized that my current projects do not help anyone or anything really. They are cool and fun ideas but they have less practical application than i would have liked. In doing this reflection i realized that my plans are a waste of...Read More...

As the new cycle rolls in, here's my metamorphosis on this topic! Hello! Inquiry Question: Why do people exert negativity?

I've definitely learned a lot and will be sharing (action) what...Read More...

Inquiry Question: How is misunderstanding produced and exerted? The project brings me many new thinkings and at the same time, it changes my point of views and gives me more angles to look at the essence while doing researches. First, when I’m looking at the word ‘misunderstanding’, I feel it is something which cannot be discussed in sections because the topic itself is so subjective. However, after reading some psychological analysis online, I changed my mind. Misunderstanding can be...Read More...

Hey everyone! In my last post, I talked about the different ways that I could perform my experiment. Since then, I have gathered all the material required to go out and actually do it.

So in the meantime, I’ve been doing some more research and have been trying to get in contact with some people at the DFO which is the Canadian federal department of fisheries. At the moment I am trying to set up a phone interview with someone there and hopefully get...Read More...

Hey everyone! This is my metamorphosis on my inquiry question... " How has society's perspective on feminism changed over the past 50 years?"

While working on this inquiry, I not only learned about how feminism has evolved, but I also learned about how hard the women before me...Read More...

Hi Butterfly Effect, For my metamorphosis on "What are the controversial aspects of animal testing?" I will discuss what I have learned this cycle. First of all, how this topic now impacts my thinking. Before, I didn't realize how many companies and brands actually use animals to test their products. In reality, the majority of industries do so. I obtained this knowledge through light research, and the information was so easy to find that I was surprised how uninformed our society is by the...Read More...

Hello lovely people! I've returned with more research, and in this round, I looked at marketing in the fashion industry. I don't know if I'll look deeper into this part of it, maybe I'll do another round with more specific examples. But it's kind of impossible to talk about fashion without talking about marketing. As well, a lot of this knowledge didn't come from the internet, but workshops and speakers and things like that from school, so credit goes to those people. Here we go. These are...Read More...

What I learned in my second draft of Arthur's Heir, was that I needed to add more descriptions of places and sometimes even people. Once I do it, people have said that I am good at describing. I enjoyed writing about Lyn AKA Merlin, especially since I have learned that Guinevere was a political marriage. I found that not as many people commented on my story as they did in my first draft and when they did, it wasn't about how I could improve. I can probably improve my story by describing even...Read More...

Last time I took a break from my exercise and the brain project and researches the effect of natural disasters on human demography. Today I am going to just touch on the positive effects of exercise pertaining to aging in a succinct and simplistic approach. Often times people's minds deteriorate slightly when they age and it is no secret that those who stay active often remain sharp until near the end. There are several factors that deter elderly people from exercising many of which are very...Read More...

Blood enters the heart into the right atrium. Next the blood flows into the tricuspid valve, then into the right ventricle. The valves in the heart keep the blood flowing in the right direction. Next the blood goes up higher in the heart into the pulmonary valve. Then when the blood leaves the heart and goes to the lungs. Once it reaches the lungs (which are so close to the heart) the blood fills up with oxygen. Then it comes through the pulmonary vein, into the left atrium. Next it comes...Read More...

Hello folks! I’ve had a lot of fun with my research throughout this last cycle. I went into this with a moderate/limited knowledge of fashion and I’m surprised by how much I learned.

I was interested to see how the styles contrasted, especially with a great difference from the 80s to the 90s. Then, I looked at fashion around the globe as...Read More...
