About Me

I'm Simas and this is my first year here at GCE lab school. I'm a freshman and my favorite subject is science. My favorite food is sushi and I always want to visit Japan. I'm really looking forward to this school year and I'm eager to learn new things here. I love solving math equations and I also love the times when I'm 100% confident in my work. I always make sure I did all of my homework the night before it's due just to keep up with the class. Something I learned this year is to never fall behind on your work or else you will have so much you will never be able to catch up. Sometimes I feel like I didn't choose GCE, but GCE choose me. The learning environment is one of my favorite parts about this school. I feel more comfortable here than all the others because of it.

"I drink you need some water..."

Our class recently completed H2O: Unit 1 (71%). In this unit, we learned about the challenges people face to acquire fresh, potable water. In many developing countries, including areas of the United States, people struggle for access to this vital resource.  The mission of the first H2O Field Experience was to carry water 0.2 miles from the Chicago River back to GCE Lab School. During the experience, my body felt incredibly sore trying to navigate the bumpy sidewalks with heavy buckets on wheels. Pushing the large buckets over cracks proved to be difficult. Psychologically, I became frustrated about how slow I was moving and how heavy and awkward the buckets were. The most challenging part of this External Investigation was when the buckets fell over three separate times, spilling much of my original water supply. I started the experience with 10 gallons of water (2 five gallon buckets), and ended with only 3.5 gallons of water. Less than half of what I originally collected. I estimat

Welcome to my second Action Project blog for Population class. In this unit, we studied how species thrive in their natural habitats and how their special traits allow them to do so. A Field Experience to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum taught us about many different landscapes and the animals that live in them. The purpose of this AP was to discover if a certain species or organism could survive in a habitat different from it's own. The species I chose to study was the Chinese Water Dragon, also known by it's scientific name  Physignathus cocincinus. I, hypothetically, altered the Chinese Water Dragon's tropical Asian climate by drying it out. I made inferences about how this change would impact the species and how it would survive in this new climate. ---------------- Chinese Water Dragons are beautiful green lizards reminiscent iguanas, only smaller. They originate from the tropical environments of Asia, but can also be found at nearby pet stores around the

Fearsome Friends

Welcome to the second Action Project for Stories. For this AP, we were instructed to write a fable. A fable consists of a protagonist, antagonist, symbol, and lesson to teach the reader. The underlying lesson is one of the main identifying factors of a fable. Also, all of the characters in fables are animal-based. Animals help the reader to understand the traits of each character. The protagonist of this story is a mouse named Remey. He has nightmares and is afraid of anything bigger and stronger than he is. The antagonists of the story are his fears getting in the way of him making new friends. The lesson and symbols of the story are something you are going to find out yourselves - they are things with deeper meanings that I do not want to spoil for you. Do not worry! This story will be easy to understand. I really enjoyed making it, so hope you enjoy reading it.  Illustrated by "SN" Once upon a time, there was a mouse named Remey. Remey had a hard time making frie
