Who will buy it and why? Rough Draft, Corrections, and Final Draft

The product that we are selling would be a sort of machine, in which you would put your trash or what you would want to get rid of, and there it would be placed in a pool of sulfuric acid. Then a specialized worker would take it out and dry it, later to be water pressuriezed, left to dry. Finally it would be burned and its remains would be placed in the ground allowing the soil to be more fertile. I think that many public places would buy them, so the government would buy them. Places like train stations, bus stations, and banks could have these machines. They would be convinient because they would be an easier and more energy efficient way to dispose of trash. Also I think that schools would buy them for reasons similar to why the government would.

The product that we have created is a machine which undergoes a process involving sulfuric acid, pressurized water and drying in order to reduce waste to a small amount which would later be put into the soil as something that would make it more fertile. I think that the government would buy this product because it would be very convinient for public places like train/bus stations, libraries, and even banks. This is more convinient than just a regular trash can because it creates disposal that can be used to make the soil more fertile and doesn't harm the environment. I think that public schools would/should also purchase these machines and some private schools would also buy them

2.Summary of the information my group and I have researched:

One of the main things that we researched was how to make things that are not biodegradable, biodegradable. We discovered that technology has yet not discovered a form to make things biodegradable. Even though we’ve found that there are many alternatives, one of them being plastic. The plastic we usually use is made from oil which is not biodegradable whereas there is another type made from potatoes which has a problem and it is that it becomes brittle after a week we could change this by genetically altering the seed. We also researched the speed of which things decompose, the fastest materials to decompose are paper towel (takes 2-4 weeks), apple, general paper (1-3 months), cardboard box (2 months), and wax coated milk carton (3 months). Plastic takes up to 400 years. Some of the materials that take the most time are tin cans (100 years) 450 years), plastic soda bottle (450 years), glass bottle (500 years).

3.Summary of my groups theories

I believe we have all come up will similar theories. We are trying to find alternatives to non-renewable and non-biogradable products. My theory is that with enough technology we will be able to figure out how to speed up the process of decomposition. Untill then what my ideas are that we will all use biodegradable products. People will use potatoe plastic, which decomposes in a short period of time. However since this type of plastic becomes brittle after one week, we will have to genetically alter the seed to change the process of aging.

4.SELF RECYCLING

1. 5. -http://www.ecogeek.org/biofuels/810 This source is reliable because it is an organization which gives information on eco friendly resources, it shows the process and even how to make potatoe plastic.

-http://urbanext.illinois.edu/compost/process.cfm This source is reliable because it is an eduactional site.

-http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_materials_don't_decompose This source is reliable because it takes the opinion iof many people and comes to one conclusion\

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWEVm-G0JXw This source is reliable becuase you can actually see what is happenig n and how to make things dissapear.

6. Source number one shows information on potatoe plastic, it tells you the ingredients used to make it like the principical one potatoe starch, water and sugar, it also shows you how you can make yoour own platic. This page also tells you the advantages of using this plastic like that it is much more ecofriendly since it decomposes in very short time. But, it also tells us that the problem is that after ba week of being made/used it becomes brittle. It also tells use a solution for this and it would be gentically changing nthe poatatoe to make its life span longer.

Source numer 2 tells us how to speed up the process of decomposition of your compost, and it gives us good ideas like adding fertilizer to speed up the decomposition of our compost. Unfourtanely this page didn't really help my reasearch since I need to figure out how to make things that don't decompose biodegradable.

Source number 3 tells me what materials don't decompose and the age span of somethings for example plastic ncn take up up to 400 years to compose

Source number 4 SHOWS me how to actually make things "dissapear" by soaking them in sulfuric acid and lighting them on fire they leave a very small piece of ash, this is very cool for my research if I can figure out how to get rid of ashes.

Source 5: COME BACK

7. New Theories:

1. My new theory is that when manufacturing things that are meant to be thrown out, wrappers packages etc. They will be soaked in Sulfuric acid and dried then placed under water pressurizer. Then when people will want to throw something similar to the things I mentioned they would throw it on the ground a chemical reaction will cause a small fire therefore causing the waste to "dissapear" into a tiny pile of ashes which would later be vacumed by the in wall vacum system.

2. My second new theory is sort of the same as the first but, instead of being thrown on the ground and dissapearing it would be more of a quicksand sort of dissapearing, the ground will be able to distinguish between waste and something just falling on the ground. Then under ground waste disposal will take care of desposing of the waste quickly.

New Questions:

1. How can I have the flash paper act similar without setting the item on fire.

2. How can the ground distinguish between an object just falling on the floor or trash

3.How can I make quicksand not suck in the people only trash?

New Ideas for Reasearch:

More on the flash paper how to perfect this act and make it safe for kids also

More research on how the floor will be able to suck trash in

Criminal minds

We see alot of things for instance, they start out each with different theorys but, as evidence comes up theorys are proved or made bad. Everytime the police gather new informations peoples perspectives are changing they discuss and al come up with a theory including parts of others ideas and inputs

Article 2: Star Wars in the Rocket City: Inside the science of Episode VI with artificial gravity

In this article they described Star War's Space station death star and how it would be almost impossible to build one of that size. They say this because since there is no gravity there would have to be acceleration by this people moving not up and down but, every which way. They also talk about Princess leias costume and how it had a big piece of metal when she wasn't doing stunts and a rubber one when she was. She talked about how they had to film many scenes again for wardrobe malfunctions and also that her costar could see "all the way down to florida".

Math Poem Final Draft

Music on paper can be called math

Well all written adds up to one

Notes and rests are like numbers,

It makes sense just like lightning and thunder

That break the song into fractions

Wow what a satisfaction!

If you are playing guitar or piano

Math relates without a matter

The number of buttons or strings in it

Have a number of scales to fit within

Music videos are full of math

Even if you’re only watching half

Behind the scenes with your camera

You are measuring to fit what you want

Note and rests are fractions

Either being a half or a quarter

Mix and match them to form a song

Even if yours sounds like a bong

That if you break in pieces

Adds up to 4

Yeah that’s right I’m for sure

In music you find patterns

Either with repetition rhyme or result

Something appearing over and over again

Will make the song repeat in your head

Singers are also mathematicians

Well even  Alicia Keys

While practicing her do re mi’s

The tempo tells her when to sing

Math is everywhere sometimes even in the air

When the wind chimes after many times 

you can feel the math on your hair

Rhythm and music is water in a tank

So you can’t separate them thanks

In rhythm you count to sense things up

Well in a song rhythm weighs a ton

Counting in music is fundamental

Up to three or up to four are common measures

How to count you’ve learned in math

But I hope it was when you were 5

Make sure it lasts

Wow! See you’ve learned a lot

On this short but really long song

Next time you sing “twinkle twinkle little star…”

You’ll realize this is just new stuff

Remember to sing along

Music and math two common words
Believe it or not they relate themselves
Both math in music and music in math
Have common things you don't realize

Key:

Onomatopoeia

Metaphor

Simile

Rhyme

Personification

Repetition

Hyperbole

Alliteration

Assonance

Imagery

Understatement

Synecdoche

Apostrophe

Allusion

Math in Music Song

Music in paper can be called math
Well all there is written adds up to one
Notes and rests are like numbers,
That break the song into fractions

If you are playing guitar or piano
Math relates without a matter
The number of buttons or strings in it
Have a number of scales to fit within

Music videos are full of math
Even if you’re looking only at its time
Behind the scenes with your camera
You are measuring to fit what you want

Note and rests are fractions
Either being a half or quarter
Mix and match them to form a song
That if you break in pieces
Adds up to 4

In music you find patters
Either with repetition rhyme or product
Something appearing over and over again
Will make the song repeat in your head

Singers are also mathematicians
Well all they do math
While practicing their do re mi’s
The tempo tells them when to sing

Rhythm music is water in a tank
So necessary that you can’t take it out
In rhythm you count to sense things up
Well in a song rhythm weighs a ton

Counting in music is fundamental
Up to tree or up to four are the common measures
How to count you’ve learned in math
But I hope it was when you were 5

Comments on Peer's projects.

Camila Toro:
 I really liked your project, you explained the ideas very well and inspired my work with ideas and ways of looking at things, perspectives. Also I liked that since we had the same book I could relate and reallly grasp what you were explaining. You did a very good jobs with providing very specific and descriptive examples so the reader could understand what you wanted to come across. Great job!
Sophie Steckerl:
I also read this book. It was amazing! I agree on the examples you choose and understand why you chose them. I think you did  a good job justifying or explaining why you chose the ones you did and what they mean. I also like how you organized your points. It was easy to understand and straight to the point. Awesome!
Antonia Pulido:
I ALSO read this book and its amazing! I agree with alot of the examples you provided especially the ones that involve Serena and Nate! Those are defenitley my two favorite characters from this novel. I think you could add a little more detail explaining why they are the figuiretive examples but, other wise you did a really good job!

story board

Novel project

Symbolism: In the lightning theif objects and or images are used to represent ideas such as the lighting bolt; representing power and dominance was a main component in this novel. The lightining bolt's presence represented peace in an abstract form because with out it there would be a war between all of the gods. Also Percy's dreams which played both foreshadowing and also symbolism in them. Since his dreams would give clues or ideas to him so he could be careful or make sense of things.

Foreshadowing: This plays a very big role in this novel. Foreshadowing is used many times throughout the story and it is what makes it suspenseful. Also it really keeps you on your toes and encourages you to keep reading. In The Lightning Thief Chiron percy's latin teacher who is really a minotaur tells him to go to the attic to speak to a sort of fourtune teller. When he does he is told many things and one thing that stood out the most was that he was going to be betrayed by the one he called friend. The whole book I would watch for hints about who it would be and I couldn't believe it that Luke was the one who ended up betraying him.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere really changed the mood when Percy, Grover, and Annabel entered the underworld. They gave a vivid descripition that really impacted my mood even. And also had an impact on the descicions taken. The gloominess and sadness assured them that they did not want to end up there. And they wanted to get everything done quickly and try to get out as soon as possible.

Flashback: Percy has alot of vivid flashbacks of when his mother got taken by the monster the image of her kept him going on his quest to find and return the lightning bolt he was being blamed for stealing. Also he had flahsbacks of seeing his father's warm smile as a baby which made him want to make him rpud and prove that he did just fine without his father in his life.

Plot Twist: I think the plot twist was when at the end you find out that Luke was the one who took the lightning bolt because you were given hints throughout the story but, it was in no way obvious. I never expected for him to end up being the bad guy. I was really taken by surprise but at the same time disapointed since I really liked luke.

Digressive Time: In the story this happens often mostly when making descions. Percy is contemplating and takes a look at the events that have happened in the past and what could happen in the future. Making a flash foward flash back scene.
