By: Alicia Valadez Hi my name is Alicia Valadez and this is my P.O.L of 2009. I will be talking about my 3-D model and my family trait tree from science and I will also be talking about Ms.Staff’s intersession called Street Tacos 4 Peace where we learn about how to run and own a food business. On my 3-D model foot I have glitter glue which is supposed to be acid rain. I have a lot of labels on my foot and those labels are the parts of my human foot. Foot facts Did you know… 25% of human skeleton's bones are located in the feet. Each pair of feet contain about 250,000 sweat glands that excrete as much as a half pint everyday. “when your feet hurt, you hurt all over”, says a ancient Greek philosopher. Your feet might be as much as 5 to 10 percent larger a the end of the day. An average person walks 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day and over 115,000 miles a life time, this is enough to walk around the world 4 times!!! My mutation is to turn into a cat and to have super speed. The way I get this mutation is because I get bit by a cheetah that was mutated when it was in a polluted jungle that attracted acid rain so when it bit me, all it’s D.N.A. went inside me through my veins and made me a mutated super fast cat person winner of races hero! The major bones in the human foot are: Phalanges: The bones in the toes. Metatarsals: The bones in the middle of the foot. Cuneiforms: There are three bones in the middle of the foot, towards the center of the foot between the navicular bone and the 1-3 metatarsal bone( the three bones are the intermediate, lateral, medial cuneiform bones.) Cuboid: The bone sitting adjacent* to the cuneiforms on the outside of the foot is called the cuboid. Navicular: This bone sits behind the cuneiforms. Talus: Also called the ankle bone, the talus sits directly behind the navicular. Calcaneus: Also called the heel bone, the calcaneus sits under the talus and behind the cuboid bone. *Adjacent: when sides meet to make an angle. • my family trait tree Punnett squares, Dominant & recessive genes Traits I got. Moms side: Dads side: Enough with the family and feet, now I will be zooming you into a fiesta of peace but this concept is called the one and only Street Tacos 4 Peace intersession. ‘s My Intersession's name is street tacos 4 Peace. This intersession was so cool and fun because we got to make food, test it, and give all the money we made to a good cause. The thing I did mostly in this intersession was I designed a lot including our mission statement I designed the tacos and wrote the title. The number of days we sold our food for was 3-5 days every lunch. The total money we made was about $700. A challenge about this intersession is that its hard to find out what to buy because whatever we buy has to subtract off the money we make so we had to buy cheaper things so we can at least make a profit and still be fair with our customers. The amount we sold our tacos for were $2.00 and each taco subtracting the cost were $1.75 so from each taco we actually made 15 What we learned We learned a lot about different entrepreneurs including ??? a famous successful entrepreneur that started out poor but went to an organization like K.I.V.A. that sent him money so he could start a business its called a grammien bank. A grammien bank is when ??? loaned money to people and if they paid it back they later got to be partly owner of the bank because it was so successful. We also learned about how to run a successful business and how to cook with good hygiene and safety. What organization did the money go from selling the tacos? The answer is K.I.V.A. where we sent our money. K.i.v.a. is an organization to help entrepreneurs that are poor to start a business with money we loan to them. What you do is that you pick a specific person and send money to them so you can support their business. If your entrepreneur makes the business successful they usually send your money back to you.
