Analysis of My Moon Phase Graph

This graph shows and is about moon phases and the number of road kill on that certain moon phase. I thought that a full moon would have the most amount of road kill compared to the rest of the phases. I thought a full moon would have the most because it is the brightest and is kind of like a second day time to the animals, forcing them to come out and look for food.

I found out that on a full moon the most animals die than on any other moon phase making my hypothesis right.

During this whole project there could have been some errors that affected our results. The animal control could have picked up the animal before we saw and we also could have marked one animal multiple times on mistake of more than one person seeing it.

I would predict that the same thing will happen next year with moon phases and the full moon would have the most amount of road kill. I also think that nothing major will change and the light will still be close or the exact same amount of brightness drawing animals out.

This book is about a group of pioneers who see a trashed filled vacant lot and decide to make a lushes garden out of it. The first to plant something in this lot is a little girl named Kim who plants a lima bean to be close to her dead dad. After people see this more start coming and planting things from their home land or something they really like. One elder man named Sam even has a contest to see what the most sufficient way to get water is and he has people little kids draw pictures and explain their idea. First place gets money and the idea helps the whole garden get water. For my seed packet I did Tio Juan next to a sweet pepper plant with his straw hat and overall jeans. I also did Suave on the cover because that means sweet in Spanish.

Stock Market

I was given ten thousand dollars in math class one day to invest in companies in the stock market. The first company I bought was Google, I bought it because it’s well known and was not that expensive compared to recent years. It also is one of the biggest companies in the world. I also invested in Microsoft and Activision because they are well known computer and gaming companies that have a lot of good games on the market. The last company I invested in was Las Vegas Sands because it was really cheap and last year’s value of it was high so I thought it would rise back up and I could make money off it. Now that I know more about stocks I would do change some of my companies I invested in. I would have sold early for Las Vegas Sand because it was at the peak of its value and I would have made a lot of money. I also would not have invested in Activision because it didn’t do well and was a low money company that wasn’t profitable. I would have bought more stocks in Google because it went up by a lot from when I bought it and was a good company to invest in. Now that I have learned about the stock market I would give this advice. Since I am more comfortable with stocks instead of buying the companies that are big and seem good I would look more into their history. And I would see if they have ever dropped and came back up and research it a little more. I invested in Microsoft just because I thought it was a big successful company but it ended up being one of my worst stocks.

I feel very lucky that I was not a victim of this major power outage. I had power the whole time and the only thing I lost was tv, cable and internet. When I lost those things I played a very intense game of Monopoly for only about 30 minutes. I know that I am very fortunate about not losing power because some most of the people I know lost it and had to sleep in the cold.
