Hi everyone! For my second research cycle this year, I’m going to be continuing with my question “Why do we dream?” This question has always been a topic of interest for me, so while doing this research, I’ve learnt a lot and it is definitely something I’d want to keep researching. My main focus this cycle is going to be comparing sleep and dreams in children versus adults to change it up a bit from last cycle. Here’s a small recap of what I did look into in my last cycle RR1- What is a...Read More...

Hey everyone , this is my 4th research round with this question “Why do we dream?” In my last research round, I looked into different sleep disorders and how they affect our dreams and sleep. So for this research round, I wanted to do something somewhat similar so I decided to look into different mental illnesses and what they are and then how they affect our dreams . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depression...Read More...

Hey everyone, this is my metamorphosis for this cycle with my question “Why do we dream?”. During my research, I’ve looked into multiple different things such as different kinds of dreams or different sleep disorders and how they affect our dreams. It was quite interesting to read and research and I enjoyed it a lot. In my first research round, I looked into what dreams are and what happens in the brain during dreams and the whole process of it. In my second research round, I looked into...Read More...

Hi everyone! For my third round of research with my question "Why do we dream?", I will be looking into sleep disorders and how they affect sleep and dreams. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Insomnia - Insomnia is when there is difficulty when falling asleep and then staying asleep. Although most people have that once in a while, insomnia is when it happens continuously. It’s caused by high stress levels, some kinds of medication,...Read More...

Hey everyone, this is my second research round with my question "Why do we dream?". This cycle I will be looking into the different kinds of dreams. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What are different kinds of dreams? A dream while you sleep- I’ve already defined this in my first research round but in case you need a recap, a dream is are imagery and images we receive while in certain stages of sleep(1,2,3,4,9). There are...Read More...

Hey everyone, this is my first research round for this cycle with my question “Why do we dream?” This research round, I will be looking into what dreams are and the whole process of dreaming and what happens in our brain while we dream. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is a dream? Dreams are imagery and images we receive while in certain stages of sleep(1,2,5,7). There are no limits of what we dream. Dreams can...Read More...

Hey everyone, here's my project plan for the first cycle of research for this year. My question for this first cycle is "Why do we dream?" This has always been a topic of interest for me and the science behind psychology especially dreaming has just always been a topic that I’ve been curious about. Recently, I’ve been having discussions with my friends about dreams and dreams that we have had. Some of the dreams make no actual sense at all, whereas as some are really realistic, so realistic...Read More...

Hey everyone, here is my metamorphosis for the last cycle of this school year and my inquiry question is "what makes a good education?" How my inquiry now impacts my thinking Before I did this research, I never really saw outside my own "world". By that I mean, I never really realized how different schooling is around the world and how different types of schools have many differences. I think that it's because movies, tv shows, etc all make stereotypes as to what schools look like. For an...Read More...

Hey everyone, here is my third around of research with my question "What makes a good education?". For my final round of research, I will be looking at homeschooling. Homeschooling What is home schooling? Homeschooling is the education of children done inside the home. It is generally done by the parents, a tutor or an online teacher. (1,2,3,4) Why homeschooling? Parents choose to home school their children for many different reasons such as dissatisfaction with the educational options...Read More...

Hey everyone, here is my second round of research with my question "What makes a good education?". For this round, I will be comparing private school and public school. Public school What is public school? A public school is a no fee school, supported by public funds(such as taxes) and government funds(1). Public schools are available to everyone, free of charge.(2) Pros - Available to everyone, including people with disabilities. -Funded by the government and public funds, therefore it is...Read More...

Hey everybody, here’s my project plan for this next cycle. I’d like to thank the people who left comments on my inquiry question post, your comments really helped me with my project plan and I am using most of the suggestions that were given . Thank you! Here is my plan for this cycle: Research Round 1: -What is a proper education made up of? - How people influence their own education( doing all your homework, studying, etc) and why some people are more willing than others to learn and do...Read More...

Hey everyone, here is my first round of research with my question "What makes a good education?" How people learn? People influence their educations in many different ways. A person needs to want to learn, if they are going to learn. If someone were to take a class that they are barely interested in, it's likely that they won't succeed in that class as much .(1) The best way for a person to learn is to do. You can sit there and watch someone explain to you how algebra works and the steps of...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...

Hey everyone, I wasn't originally planning to do another research but it looks like now I will be so this one will be a little shorter than usual. For this research round I will be doing something a little different and answering questions that were left on my posts. ------------------------------------------------------ What do you think of technology and inventions in about 100 years to come? What will be their effect to the environment? And how can we prevent the negative impacts ? I...Read More...

Hey everybody, this is my third and final research round for this cycle with my question "How might our world change in the next 100 years?". In case you haven't been reading my previous research rounds from this cycle, I've been looking at the environmental factors and animal factors. For this one, I'll be looking at ways we can prevent all the negative environmental changes and how we can save endangered species. Here are 7 things you can do everyday to help save the environment: 1. Pay...Read More...

Hey everyone, for my second research round I'll be looking at type of animals could go extinct in the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After doing a bit of research here's a list of animals that are likely to be extinct in the future if we do not do anything about it: 1. Orangutans- There are two species of orangutan, Sumatran and Bornean. Both are critically endangered.The orangutan population is decreased by...Read More...

Hey everyone, this is my first round of research for this cycle. I will be looking into how technology helps our environment and what could be invented to help it even more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How technology is helping the environment: - Renewable energy - There are 5 different types of renewable energy: Solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal(uses the Earth's heat),and biomass(uses organic mass and landfill waste to...Read More...

Hey everyone, this is my project plan for this cycle. I will be continuing on with my question from last cycle “How might our world change in the next 100 years?” . I’ll just be looking at different aspects of things. Research round 1 - How much more convinience will the evolution of various things create? -Could there be technology that could help us explore the environment better(ex: Getting to the bottom of the ocean) Research round 2 -What type of environment changes could we see? - What...Read More...

Hey everyone, this my 3rd research round with my topic "With respect to technology, how might our world change in the next 100 years. This week, I will be looking at how transportation could change in the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How could transportation evolve In some of my other posts, you'll see that I've already briefly looked into it and found that there is a strong chance self driving cars will be...Read More...

So my inquiry is "With respect to technology, how might our world change in the next 100 years. Last research round, I started off with looking the artificial intelligence(AI) side of things and talked about what is AI, what sort of AI do we already have, and benefits and risks of AI. This week I'll be looking at how AI has changed and will change in the far and near future. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What might we see in the...Read More...

So my question for this cycle is "With respect, to technology, how might our world change in the next 100 years?" I wanted to start off my research by looking at the Artificial Intelligence(I'll be using AI for short) side of things. So today, the topics I'll be covering are: -What is artificial intelligence? -What type of artificial intelligence do we already have? -The benefits and risks of AI. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What...Read More...

Hey everyone, my question for this topic is "With respect to technology, how might the world change in the next 100 years?" I'll be posting a research round every 2 weeks. So here is my plan for this cycle of research: Research Round 1: For my project, I wanted to look into the artificial intelligence aspect of things but that topic by itself is really big so I'm going to be doing a few different rounds of research with this topic, just with different questions. For this round of research,...Read More...

So today,I researched about how do dogs decide who is their master? Obviously most dogs love people but why do they listen, and show affection more to one person rather then everyone, so why? Their "master' is usually the person the dog is always happiest to see and listens to the most. Dogs see their master as the person who cares for them (Eg: Talking them for walks, feeding them, etc), plays with them, and spends a lot of time with them. It may be more difficult for the dog the choose a...Read More...

Hey everyone, this will be my final round of research for this year. Since this is my last round of research for this topic, and I won't be continuing on with this topic after, I've decided for this research round to analyse myths I found about resilience. Resilience is built in only one way . Resilience can be built in many different ways. People who may not be exactly the same can be just as resilient as each other. Here are some ways to grow resilience: Flexible and accurate thinking,...Read More...

Hey everyone, this week I'll be continuing on with my question "Why are some people more resilient than other?" and I'll be looking into if genes are a factor in resilience. Glucocorticoid Receptor The glucocorticoid receptor is a stress hormone that helps different physiological processes to maintain homeostasis( the ability or tendency to maintain internal stability) these hormones are controlled by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)(2,3,4) However this hormone is found in everyone...Read More...
