This is how to make the pans balance similar to solving an equality you have to add more on one sideBalancing both sides equally can make the pans balance in a similar to solving equality.

This is similar to an equality since you can make them balanced by adding the same number of blocks to the other pan.

The pans are similar to equality because Balance means that there is the same number of things on one side so it's equal. When you use equality It's similar to balance because equals 2 things or sides that are equal to each other which causes balance.

This is similar to an equality since if you take 3 cubes from thepans are similar to an equality sinceBalca pans is similar toMaking the pans balance, you have to put 6 cubes on each side since if you add (9 + 3 = 12) both sides add to 12. Then it's well balanced.Making the pans balance taking away 6

9-6=3In order to make the scale balanced you would have to do what is on one side to the other side. This is similar to equality since you have to make each side of a equation balanced by doing what ever you to on one side you do the other side.

You can put 6 on each pan since its 12 in all and half of 12 is 6.this is how you balance both sides of the pan to make it equal.you can make the pan balance by adding 6 more to the first pan and it will both be equal.it's similar to an equality since you have to balance it

To make the pan balance you are going to make it equal first by adding more blocks to the pan.

To make it balance take the cubes from the pan add 6 to one side and add 6 on the other side.Making the pans balance is similar to equality since it's 12 in all and half of 12 is 6.This is similar to solving an equation because equations always need to be balanced and by balancing it, you need to do the same thing that you did from one side to the other like on the pan balance, if you don't put the sa

 Do you think natural is important? Connecting with nature is valuable because we need nature in order to survive, and we need nature in order to thrive. 

      First, we need nature in order to survive. For example, we need water in order to maintaining our body temperature. Another example, we need trees in order to have oxygen and survive.

     Second, we need nature in order to thrive. For example, we need the sun in order to survive because it helps or immune system. Another example, we need vegetables in order to have a diet and vitamins.

     Even though I think connecting to nature is valuable, I can see why some people think differently. For example, there are some company that think the money is more important the nature. However, it is more important to take care of or nature like some company uses water bottle they are terrible for or fish.

   In conclusion, connecting with nature is valuable because we need nature in order to survive and we need nature in order to thrive.

Connecting with nature is valuable because we need nature in order to survive and we need nature in order to thrive.

     First, we need nature in order to survive. For example, we need trees in order to breathe air because they give off oxygen. Another example in order to survive is we need animals to give us a lot of the foods we eat. We also need plants to get nutrients in order to survive. 

    Second, we need nature in order to thrive. For example, being in nature can make you feel calmer. It can also take away distractions and help you be more creative.

    Even though I think connecting to nature is valuable, I can see why some people think differently. For example, there are a lot of poisonous plants and animals that could harm you in nature. However, we know how to avoid them and there are more animals that help us than harm us.

     In conclusion, connecting with nature is valuable because we need nature in order to survive and we need nature in order to thrive.

Student:

Connecting with nature is valuable because we need nature in order to survive and we need nature in order to thrive.     

     First, we need nature in order to survive. For example, water it helps us from our thirst, making our body hydrated instate being dry. Another example is food. It helps us from being starved so we don't die for being starved to death and it helps you be energetic.

     Second, it is valuable to connect with nature because we need nature in order to thrive. For example, is that some people in their house they put flowers and plants so their house does not look boring. Another example is that some people said that nature can reduce anger, improve mood and help you be more active. I believe people should connect with nature that helps you have a healthy mind.

    Even though I think connecting to nature is valuable, I can see why some people think differently. For example, insect and bugs that most people hate, especially entomophobia people, like they get scared of any insect/bugs even though the insect is minding its own business and not trying attack you. However, some insects and bugs help nature by maintaining soil by making them healthy, control pest, pollinate flowers and crops.

 Why is nature important? It is valuable to connect with nature because we need nature in order to survive and thrive.

      First, we need nature in order to survive. For example, we need oxygen to breathe and we get that from the trees in nature. Another example, is we need food in order to survive and we get a lot of our healthy foods from nature.

When you breathe fresh air and go out in the sun, it can make you happy. Another example, being in nature can help you to be calm. You can be away from distractions and breath in the fresh air. 

    Even though I think it is valuable to connect with nature, I can see why some people would think differently. For example, there are dangerous animals that could harm us in nature. However, the animals we use in nature have much more value than the risk of the animals harming us.

    In conclusion, it is valuable to connect with nature because we need nature in order to survive and thrive.

Student:  Connecting with nature is valuable because we need nature in order to survive, and we need it to thrive too.

     First, we need nature in order to survive. For example, fruits and vegetables usually grow on the ground, and we eat them for an important purpose. Another example, air is really important because we can breathe it in and we get air from trees., Without it, we wouldn't live for long.

    Second, we need nature to thrive. For example, animals need space to wander around, most animals can't live anywhere that isn't habitable and we need space too. Another example, trees because it produces oxygen which we can breathe to survive and needed limited space for us to nature.

     Even though I think connecting to nature is valuable, I can see why some people think differently. For example, animals can be dangerous and people might not want to risk getting hurt. However, we have people who help protect us against dangerous animals and there are a lot of animals that won't hurt you.

    In conclusion, we need to connect with nature in order to survive and thrive.

"What have you learned from our practice sessions for the Ohio state test?

 How can you use this knowledge to do your best on the test?"

Do you feel confident about taking it?  Why or why not?

I have learned how to make an OST approved essay, provide good evidence, and to always read the text before answering questions. I can use this knowledge by putting all I know to good use when the OST comes around. Like how to provide better evidence for a question when given a written response. I also know  to make sure my essay has really good transition words when starting a new paragraph, and how to go back into a text whenever possible. I feel very  bittersweet and conflicted about taking the test. Sometimes I feel like I'm not going to be able to finish in time or I’m going to click the wrong answer. And what if I click the wrong answer on an easy question. There is a lot of pressure on taking the OST, but I'm also feeling proud about it at the same time. I know that I know what I'm talking about because we’ve been doing it all year long. I’ve also passed tests that can prove it. I guess it’s the fact that I'm not able to use notes that’s making me nervous. Some advice I would give to others is don’t second guess your answers especially if it’s an essay. A lot of the time when I write an essay I picture my ELA teacher scrutinizing it. Don’t do what I do, it will only make you change the meaning of what you want to write about, and most of the time when you write from your perspective, your teacher will recognize you for having a different pov than the rest of the class. Then maybe you could give some encouragement to some of your classmates for their essay.
