G5 Isaac Potato :)

Hello, my name is Isaac, today I will talk about my experience learning Python so far. Before I started learning Python I thought it was gonna be very difficult, and after learning some Python I think it is not as difficult as I thought. It turns out kind of fun!

Now I will tell you 3 most important things (I think) that I have currently learned. First, I will talk about the most simple thing: making a python file and saving it. So you open Python and the first place you see is not the place to start coding, it is called the shell and it is the place that you will see your code. You have to click on the “File” on the top left of the shell. Then you click “New File”. And that is the place you can start coding.

The second thing I will tell you is how to run the code you wrote. The way you start your code is by clicking the button in the middle- top that says “Run” And after that a list will come out. Click the first one that says “Run Module” And that is how you start your code ( You can also just press F5 on your keyboard to start your code).

The third, and last thing I will tell you about how to make stuff come to the shell. So on your new blank file, you could type: print (“”) to print words and print() to print numbers. You don’t need the quotations to put numbers.(By the way, you put the words you want inside the quotation marks.)

Now I will talk about two challenges I overcame. The first is a programming challenge our teacher gave to our class about making a program that randomly makes an equation to ask. At first, everybody thought it is easy because we could just put the random number variable into the line that asks the math questions. But it turns out you can’t put the variables into a question. So later I overcame the challenge by making another variable that equals to the two random number variables and later check if the user’s answer is the same as the variable.

Another Challenge I overcame is figuring out what sort() does. We had limited time to find out what it means. For the first 30 minutes I thought it changes the order of all the things in the list I made. But when we had 10 minutes or so left, an Idea suddenly came to me. When I tried the Idea, it worked! It turns out it sorts all the words in the list in alphabetical order. That is two challenges I overcame.

Today I am going to talk about what a back-up, landscape, orientation, portrait, and save-as vs save means in Microsoft Words.

First I am going to talk about orientation. Orientation is what way your document is facing. The icon for orientation in Microsoft Words looks like is under this paragraph. This button allows you to change the document to either horizontal or vertical.

The orientation button is in the layout button on the top of the screen.

Now I am going to talk about portrait and landscape. The portrait and landscape is the place you can change the orientation. The place you can find it is when you click on the orientation button. It would look like this.

What happens when you press the orientation button.

And if you press the portrait button, the document will be vertical like when you made a new document and look like this.

Picture of what happens when you press the portrait button.

But, if you press the landscape button, the document will be horizontal and it would look like this.

Picture of what happens when you press the landscape button.

BACK-UP

Now, I am going to talk about back-up. A back-up is a duplicate of a document, for example I have a document called “Stuff.”

When you make a back-up of the Stuff and I don’t change the name, it would be called Stuff2

And they would have the exact same things. But, for example, I change something on Stuff, and doesn’t change the same thing on Stuff2, then the changes would only be on Stuff.

This is on Stuff

This is on Stuff2

Just like that. But, something good is that for example, Stuff is deleted, I still got Stuff2 to do and I don’t have to redo everything.

SAVE-AS VS SAVE

Now I am going to tell you about save-as and save. Save is when you just save the changes you made on the document. For example, I still haven’t saved my changes on Stuff, so I go to “File” on the top of the screen.

Then I press it, and a screen looking like this will appear.

Picture of Save-As and Save

So, save is to save everything you changed or already wrote and you can still keep editing. Except, if you keep editing, you still have to save again to save the new things you wrote or changed.

But if you press save as, then the file would save and let you keep editing, you are probably like “Oh okay its just the same thing so I might as well stop reading and stuff.” BUT YOU SHOULD NOT DO THAT. If you press save as a second time, then it will create another file like Stuff2 in the Back-up paragraph.

If you still don’t understand, then I will use pictures to make you understand.

For example I have this duck thing here.

Duck Thing

Then I go to the “File” button on the top of the screen

Then press “save”

Save is the one with the black circle around it.

Then the duck would be saved in my folder safe and sound. But, if I change it. Then the changes won’t be saved.

This time I will press “save-as” instead of save when I press the “File” button to make another file.

Save as is the one with the red surrounding it.

And name it “duck with laser eyes”, then, I would have a file called “stuff” and a file called “duck with laser eyes”

So yeah, now you know what these words mean. Bye

1.The simulation “Energy Skate Park” teaches you about kinetic energy, potential energy, and thermal energy. Kinetic energy is basically speed energy, potential energy is basically like readying the kinetic energy, and thermal energy is heat energy but in fancy science words.

2.What different buttons do. The first button that you need to know is the track button, you can drag it out and put it somewhere on the big blank space in the middle of the screen and you can drag the red circles on the track, you can add more than one track at the same time, or you can connect the tracks by their red circles, the track button is on the bottom of the screen, it looks like a gray line with 3 red circles on it. The second button you should know is the reset button, it resets everything you did on the screen and you get a blank space with a skater on it, it is on the bottom right corner and it has an arrow on the button. You can also restart just your skater by pressing the Restart Skater button on the left of the restart button.

3. Different things I’ve tried in the simulation. I’ve tried to make the skater go a full circle in the simulation but I didn’t success, I think I should make a very high starting place so it can have lots of potential energy so there is more kinetic energy for the skater to spend. Another thing I’ve tried in the simulation is to make the skater fall out of the screen. This one I’ve succeeded because I put the starting place very high and then make an small ark at the end so the skater would kind of fly but there is too much potential energy so the skater flied out.

4. When the different energy showed up. The potential energy showed up on the pie chart (Which you can find on the top right checklist on the screen saying “Pie Chart”) when I put the skater high and didn’t move it. And Kinetic energy showed up when the skater was pure moving. And thermal energy showed up when the skater was not moving.

5. Stuff I’ve learned in this simulation. I have learned about the potential energy, kinetic energy, and thermal energy when you are maybe riding a bike down here, or maybe when you are in a skate park skating. I think this simulation had made energy fun and easy because you can just make crazy skate tracks and not let anyone get hurt.

6. Would I tell my friends to play this game. Yes, I would want my friends to play this game because you could make the skater fly away and learn about energy at the same time. I think the game would be better if they make it more realistic because there would be the sun and the wind that would make you slow down so it will be harder to move.

7.Conclusion. I think this simulation is fun because you can do very dangerous things without getting hurt , like playing with very acidic acid and pouring it on different things to see if it will dissolve. But if you do that in real life, you can die or get hurt easily. Here is one thing I really want to try this in this simulation, to see how far it would fly if I make the skater at max mass and gravity and zero friction.

• The Internet stands for interconnected network
• The Internet is not magic, but lots of people think its magic, it is actually a network that connects millions of computers worldwide, there is no such thing as internet magic.
• Companies like Google mostly have their own network,
• Some companies like Google often build their data centers near the north pole so they won’t have to pay too much AC money because there are lots of computers working and it might get too hot so they need something to cool it down, like a giant AC or just putting it by the north pole to save money

• The Internet is not Wi-Fi

What happens inside the computer when you type or click

When you type/click , the keyboard or the mouse sends a message to the input/ output system. Then it decides if the mouse click is really important, if it decides it is, then it tells the CPU which is the Central Processing Unit ” There is a mouse click!” or “The keyboard is clicked!”. If the mouse is clicked, then it just shows a clicks the button that the mouse cursor is hovering over or do nothing. If you typed on the keyboard, it either types the letter you are pressing on the platform or it also does nothing.

Inside a mouse

Inside a mouse, there is a right click and left click button and a system for detecting motion and distance. The system for detecting motion and distance have some kind of a flashlight and the flashlight shines light onto the surface you are using your mouse on and then the light reflects onto the sensor and it sends a message to the CPU and the CPU asks a how to do that to the memory, then the memory sends the directions back to the CPU then the CPU do the thing that memory told it to .

What two numbers does the computer only understand?

The two numbers the computer only understand is 0 and 1. The 0 stands for no electron and the 1 stands for yes electron. The name for the 0s and 1s in the computer is called a Binary Code. It kind of looks like this .
