Getting Stuck In Life

Blog Post #4

Can you think of a time you were like a person stuck on an escalator?

Yes, I can, there was a time in my 8th-grade algebra class where I didn't understand what we were learning, so I just gave up.

Was there something once you tried and you were able to do it despite not believing you could?

Yes, last week I did my math on KahnAcademy and I didn't think I could even get a 75% on an assignment, but I was persistent and achieved the goal.

Why do we have a tendency to think down upon ourselves?

We have a tendency to do this because at certain times we lack self- confidence and are afraid to take risks.

How can you learn to recognize these moments where you get "stuck on an escalator" and what can you do to fight the tendency to rely on others to solve our problems?

We could ask ourselves how this problem could be solved, and typically you can solve most problems with being dedicated to solving the problem. If that is true for the problem, there is always a way to solve it by ourselves.

Whats In the Pipe?

         Model Of the Pipe We made 3 models shown above We only had 1 model that worked like the tube, and we only discussed the failed tubes, but we will never know what is actually inside the tube. We can always have as much evidence that proves something is inside the tube, but we'll never be able to actually see it. It doesn't matter how the tube is specifically made if our models work very similar to the tube. The analogy that the tube is alot like the universe is very true because we'll never be able to know for sure how the universe was made because no one was there, and there is very little evidence.  I expect from this class that I will get a better understanding of science, and how the world works around us. I plan to accomplish an A average grade, but also understand the topic and not just, "Remember the things written down on the whiteboard"

I Improved!

I got all 3s! How has your thinking changed? My thinking has changed to how energy is transferred and how to represent them, I tend to think on how I can solve the problem and not just stop working . What questions do you have now that you could've awnsered? I could've awnsered how to represent a change in amount of energy.
