Today my goals are:
- Start work on a Stirling engine,
- See what materials are needed to make a Stirling engine,
- Work with my partners and see what type of engine they are making.
Reflection:
Today I finally have a project topic: Stirling Engines! I am first starting to research a Stirling Engine fan. I plan to find the materials needed and start to build one. Today is also the my day at school in a long time, so I am excited to be here.

Daily Goals
Today I hope to finish all of my benchmarks, and post an end of the day reflection,
Who could possibly look at OHpedia? Everyone can, from the tallest old person to the shortest infant. Students from OH, that need a resource for a standard. Outsiders that visit OH and want to see what we do. Experts that need/want to look at the OH students' benchmarks. Who do you think is going to look at your OHpedia?

Standard 9
Big Idea 9: Changes in Matter (Mitchell)
A. Matter can undergo a variety of changes.
B. When matter is changed physically, generally no changes occur in the structure of the atoms or molecules composing the matter.
C. When matter changes chemically, a rearrangement of bonds between the atoms occurs. This results in new substances with new properties.

I think that matter can change into plasma, gas, liquid and solid

Reflection 1/12
Today we started out with posting our ideas on the OHpedia rubric which asked "what components make a good online lesson". My post wanted interesting things like interactive games, helpful buttons, cool backgrounds and easy to understand information, etc. Then Mrs. Amy asked everyone to explain the definition of a metacognition, it is like thinking about thinking. With todays work, I feel I achieved daily success, I learned the definition of metacognition, shared my thoughts of a good online lesson, and adjusted to the new PBL schedule.

ExplosivelyWiki Reflection
This is the time I was deemed the king wiki maker. I remember making the wiki, which was hard at first, but then I found a video on YouTube describing how to use a wiki. I had to figure out how to do everything like; figuring out videos, links, images, widgets. I then had to make a page for every middle schooler, make the home page and create a template for each page. After getting bombarded with questions regarding the wiki, I then had to make a help page, explaining how to add the things listed above. I still had some errors on the way through the wiki.
First, when I made the wiki I had a challenge. I had no idea what to do so trying to make a "home base" was hard. So I looked up on YouTube, how to make and manage a wiki and after an hour, I found a video that helped me. So with this newfound information, I could start building the wiki. So I started with making my page, then everyone else's, and adding the template I created into the page.
After that, I started getting asked ten question a minute regarding how to put a video, an image, a link on the wiki, and what a widget was. My solution was simple, make a help page, so everything was relatively easy until I got to the point of making the help page. First, I had to explain everything, but I could not grasp how to explain the right way, so after a couple of failed attempts, I got it. So now they could put there handy videos on their pages.
Next, I discovered there was much more to a wiki then met the eye. I could edit the page names, make a logo for the wiki, make an I.M. bar, have a student poll, the possibilities stretched on and on. So I made a poll asking what was the student's favorite subject, and here is where the fire started. The poll stretched on into every page and prevented from editing. I was desperate, I was trying to do figure out how to get it off, but it did not budge. Finally I went to the history and reverted the last save back to normal, all hope is regained.
So remember, when you are deemed the king wiki maker, don't panic. First get help, from a person, a video, a website. That video, website, or person should help you with the total navigation and editing of the wiki. If you don't feel the need to make a help page then don't, but don't cry when you have one thousand questions regarding your wiki. Lastly, if you mess up, don't panic, you can work it out.
