The universe is everything...everywhere...infinite. Everything that has ever existed and everything we have ever known makes up our universe. The Earth is only a tiny speck in a constantly expanding universe made of billions of stars and galaxies. Knowing what you know about light, sound, and time, do you think the universe could exist or operate without one of them? Without time, would we be able to move, develop, and evolve? Without light, we would, most likely, freeze and not be able to grow food. Without sound, we would not have instruments or music, or be able to hear warnings. There are many questions to the mysteries of the universe which are left unpondered. For this Final Presentation, I want to exercise your mind and have you explore the different possibilities when removing one of the properties - light, sound, or time. Answer the questions below before reading on. Loading… The point of this project is to have you picture an alternate universe. A universe without e...

The TIME has come to wrap up the final unit of LST - Light, Sound, Time. Time is defined as the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole. It is a point that is measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon (Time, 2020). Though time has no end, this unit felt much shorter than both Light and Sound. We, mostly, reviewed the different ways time can be measured, what time is like in different places, tools that help calculate time, and some celestial objects - such as, the Sun - because they play a big role in how we view every single minute. Speaking of celestial objects, we went to the Alder Planetarium, on Chicago's Museum Campus, to become educated on a few space facts. Through that, we learned how things we see in the sky, like constellations, can tell us about the current month, time, and location of that time on Earth. For the final Action Project in LST, we were assigned to make a visual of our own time te...

In A Nation’s Argument, we have been learning about all the things that make an argument strong. We have been taught to consider premises, inductive and deductive reasoning, conclusions, and validity. We learned that being valid doesn't always make a sound argument, and that premises without contradiction make an argument strong. A premise is a proposition supposed or proved as the basis of an argument, and a contradiction is a statement that implies both truth and falsity ( Merriam-Webster.com , 2020). The soundness of an argument also makes it strong. A sound argument is when an argument is valid and the premises are true. True premises, in turn, make the conclusion true. A sound argument is the opposite of flawed. The purpose of this Action Project was to propose an amendment to GCE Lab School’s Family Handbook Code of Conduct. Based on a logical flaw, we needed to argue and defend our change to the rule using a sound argument. I hope you enjoy! —— Plagiarism is...
