All Dough

Hello, welcome to Food. The freshmen at GCE Lab School have been baking bread. Now you might be confused as to why a school is making their students bake bread instead of doing work from their textbook. But this is not a traditional school. We just wrapped up our unit 2 for our STEAM class called Cooking. We started this unit off by kneading flour and water. We went on 1 field experience to Big Delicious Planet, which is basically a restaurant that has a farm right next to it. They grow their own food so they are very organic. I think this restaurant inspired us to make and bake our own bread with a leading question of: Does using different leavening agents affect the outcome of our bread? There were 5 different groups for the 5 different kind of breads that we baked. My group had Homemade Sourdough Bread. To find out how our bread turned out continue reading!

GR's Survival Guide to Becoming a Lawyer

Welcome to my final humanities action project! This year, I have learned to endure difficult situations, which is why I am so thrilled to graduate. In this unit of Endurance , we about the different types of endurance. The two kinds of endurance we learned about are endurance by force and endurance by choice. An example of endurance by force would be holocaust survivors. They are an example of endurance by force because they had to endure all the pain and suffering they went through. An example of endurance by choice is Laura Dekker who chose to become the youngest person to sail world the world alone. I have decided that I wanted to go into the legal field ever since sophomore year. For this action project, we were assigned to create a survival manual. My survival manual is focused on my path to becoming a lawyer. I hope you enjoy my project!

The Debt Free College Act

Welcome to my final action project for my Humanities class, Equality . At the beginning of this class, we defined what equality is and what it looks like. We also learned about racial inequality, gender inequality, sexual orientation inequality, and class inequality. We discussed various legislations and the acts people have taken to reach equality, such as Affirmative action. Affirmative action is the active effort to improve racial and gender inequality in the workplace and education. Then we learned the ways socials constructs reinforce gender inequality. For this action project, we were asked to predict the future of equality by creating a time capsule from 100 years into the future. The focus of my project is class equality. I tackled this issue by envisioning a future where the president signs the Debt-Free College act. Below is my slideshow. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I enjoyed working on it!  Schatz, Brian. “Text - S.672 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): Debt-Free

Pitcher This Design!

Welcome to my first action project for Biomimicry. Biomimicry is an elective course which focuses on STEAM. There are 3 units in this class: Plants, Animals, and Fungi. We just wrapped up Plants which was our first unit. In this unit, we went on a field experience to Interface, which is a company that makes sustainable rugs and carpets. At Interface, we talked to a man named Mikhail Davis who talked about biomimicry and how Interface's designs are inspired by nature. We also went to the Lincoln Park Conservatory, where we looked at different plants and tried to see if we could find the Fibonacci Series. On the first day our class, we were asked, "What is biomimicry?". No one had an accurate definition until further on into the unit. How I would define biomimicry is, "Biomimicry is when human-made designs are influenced or inspired by something in nature." We talked about different terms such as heterotrophs, autotrophs, parts of a tree, Fibonacci Series, Gaia H
