If I will be ask to organized a hike or trek for our group. These are the following
safety precautionary protocol to avoid dehydration, overexertion, hypo-hyperthermia
during participation:
Know where you are going ahead of time. Check out the trail you plan to hike
ahead of time to know what you are getting into. Will you need to be prepared for
steep slopes or is it more of a casual stroll?
Everyone must bring water in order to stay hydrated and bring the needed
things such as foods, clothes and others that is enough for the time allotted in
the activity.
Always stay in the group at all possible. Do not do anything all by yourself
because if a group goes together must go wherever one should go, so that at the
end no one will get hurt and went missing.
Avoid venturing off the beaten path. Staying on marked trails is important,
regardless of how familiar you think you are with an area. Shortcuts can also cause
erosion and damage to the environment.
Keep an eye out for poison oak. Make sure you know how to identify poison oak
ahead of time to prevent touching it. If you do, wash the area right away with
some mild soap and water (water if that is all that you have). Pat dry the area with
a clean towel.
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY
Reflection:
I enjoyed most on calculating the standard enthalpies of reaction using Hess’s law
because this is where I got confused at first however, it really challenged myself to
explore more on this law. I thought it’s difficult to understand but with the help of
watching tutorial videos about Hess’s law, I was able to feel at ease and be able to get the
answer.
I want to learn more on thermodynamics specifically its second law because for me the
first law is highlighted in this module. Because it helps us to predict whether the reaction
is feasible or not and also tell the direction of the flow of heat. It also tells that energy
cannot be completely converted into equivalent work.

that the city has a smarter energy infrastructure. The characteristic of a smart city is similar to smartphones in
different ways. In smart cities, the systems behind primary infrastructure will be digitized, always on and openly
sharing data whenever it’s practical. For example, citizens will renew their driver’s license or car tags through an app
without standing in line or placing a call to set an appointment. Secondary infrastructure elements were developed to
support primary infrastructure but will no longer be essential – parking meters, for example. These elements force
people to perform mundane tasks that consume time but do not contribute to their work or pleasure.

Collision theory states that molecules must collide to react. For most reactions, however,
only a small fraction of collisions produces a reaction. In order for a collision to be successful,
the reactant molecules must collide both with sufficient energy to overcome the activation
energy barrier and in the proper orientation to form any new bonds in the products. It can be
deduced from the Collision theory that the greater number of collisions, the greater the chances
of effective collisions, and the greater the amount of product formed per unit time. Therefore, the
greater the number of collisions, the faster the reaction rate.
Based on my research, scientists are keeping a close eye on a growing “dent” in Earth’s
magnetic field over a swath of the Atlantic Ocean that stretches from South Africa westward into
Brazil. In this zone, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly, the magnetic field — the invisible
shield that protects the planet from radiation and charged particles from the sun — is weaker
than normal. Though it’s not thought to be dangerous to humans, experts say the weak spot could
cause glitches or permanent damage to Earth-circling satellites that are exposed to energetic
particles as they fly through the region. Scientists have known about the weak spot in Earth’s
magnetic field for several decades, but new research suggests that the South Atlantic Anomaly is
growing, spreading further west toward the Pacific Ocean, and is further weakening.
Earth’s magnetic field is generated by the constant motion of liquid metal in the planet’s
iron-rich outer core, roughly 1,800 miles below the surface. As these molten deposits slosh
around, they produce electric currents that power Earth’s magnetic field and effectively turn the
planet into a giant bar magnet. But the constant churning in the outer core means the magnetic
field is tilted, which is why the magnetic poles aren’t perfectly aligned with Earth’s geographic
North and South poles. These dynamics deep inside the planet also create fluctuations and
instability in the magnetic field. In general, the magnetic field is strongest at the poles and
weaker at the equator, but more research is needed to understand the precise cause of the South
Atlantic Anomaly.
A growing dent in Earth's magnetic field over South America and the southern Atlantic
Ocean could pose a risk to spacecraft and satellites which could affect the human activities
specially NASA in exploring the planets. This evolving weak spot in the magnetic field, called
the South Atlantic Anomaly, is being monitored by NASA, but the space agency said it will not
affect us here on Earth. The magnetic field protects us, acting as a shield against the solar wind --
stream of charged particles and radiation -- that flows out from the sun. This field's protection
also extends to include satellites orbiting close to Earth. But the South Atlantic Anomaly is
allowing solar particles to get closer than before. Solar radiation could have a negative effect as
satellites pass through this area, knocking out their computers and interfering with data
collection, according to NASA.
If satellites traveling through this weak area in the magnetic field are hit by energized
particles, they can short-circuit, glitch or even sustain permanent damage. So, satellite operators
regularly shut down satellite components when they travel through the anomaly so they don't risk
losing key instruments or the whole satellite. The International Space Station also passes through
the anomaly. While the astronauts are safe inside the station, instruments on the outside of it that
collect data can experience issues. In fact, the anomaly has been known to reset power boards on
the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation mission, or GEDI, installed on the outside of the
station, as frequently as once a month. While this causes no material harm, it does result in a
couple of hours of lost data each month, according to Bryan Blair, the mission's deputy principal
investigator and instrument scientist, and a lidar instrument scientist at Goddard.

Introduction
Plastic was invented in the 19th century and was originally used to replace
common materials such as ivory, rubber, and shellac. Plastic bottles were first used
commercially in 1947 but remained relatively expensive until the early 1950s when high-
density polyethylene was introduced. They quickly became popular with both
manufacturers and customers because of their lightweight nature, relatively low
production, and transportation costs compared to glass bottles. However, the biggest
advantage plastic bottles have over their glass counterparts is their superior resistance
to breakage, in both production and transportation. In this generation plastic bottles
causes harm to environment and health of the people because it contains Bisphenol A
(BPA), the chemical used to make the plastic hard and clear. BPA is an endocrine
disruptor which has been proven to be hazardous to human health.
Plastic bottles may bring harm however, it can be prevented through recycling
and creating an artwork out of it instead of throwing them anywhere. Plastic bottles are
processed to create a material for artwork through techniques of elaboration of works of
art in which it is capable of being molded, modified or transformed by the artist. These
are therefore considered as one of the plastic resources, since they serve the artist as a
raw material to express his perspective, imagination or specific vision of the real.
The artwork I am planning to create out of it is wind spiral mobile painted with
different colors. Since my locality usually used it to create lantern however, in order to
be unique or for new design, it can be made as a banner and hung it in trees together
with LED series lights.
The resources for creating wind spiral mobile are plastic bottles, paints in
different colors, scissors and paintbrush. This just need small amount of money or if
possible, you don’t need to spend, instead make use of the materials found in your
house. The process starts in coloring or painting the water bottles entirely then let it dry.
Next is cut off the bottom and then cut the rest of the bottle into a spiral, leaving the
shoulders and neck of the bottle intact. Lastly, find some place in where it can be hung
such as sliding the neck of the bottle over the branch of a tree, and watch them bounce
and dance in the wind.
What is the purpose or function of the artwork?
The purpose of creating wind spiral mobile out of plastic is to add beauty to a
specific place. Usually in Christmas, different places are designed with star lanterns
which cannot be used for other occasions but for wind spiral mobile, it can be a design
which is suitable for any other occasion. Moreover, this can help reduce pollution due to
plastic which can benefit both the people and environment.
All of the people can be a target audience, from young to adults because this
served as a knowledge that plastic bottles can be turn into a material that can add beauty
to the environment. This can help them appreciate the place even more due to the
beauty effect of wind spiral mobile to the environment.
One of the problems that the whole world is facing is the pollution in which
plastic bottles are one of the contributors in this unending problem. Thus, I decided to
use plastic bottles as a material in creating an artwork to reduce the negative effects that
it brings to the people and environment. Many artworks can be made out of plastic
bottles however, making it as a wind spiral mobile is suitable for adding beauty to the
environment of my locality.
I think the audience will embrace it because people love to see new and unique
designs in which it can attract them and enjoy taking selfies. People in my locality love
to go to our municipal plaza and adding wind spiral mobile out of plastic bottles can
make them enjoy more the view.
Introduction
The artwork I am planning to create out of it is triangular bamboo shelf that can
be used for placing succulent plants or books inside the house or it can be serve as a
decoration in order to add beauty.
The resources for creating triangular bamboo shelf are bamboo sticks, nails, saw,
set of 2 threaded rods zinc-plated steel, dexter spring forceps, 140 mm and circular pot.
This can cost large amount of money if you don’t have the materials such as dexter
spring and threaded rods but bamboo sticks are not that expensive. The process starts in
making a bamboo towel rail. Second step is cross the two bamboo towel rails on the
upper part, that is to say at the first bar. The spacing between the two ladders must be
110 cm. Hold them with 2 spring clips. Then drill the posts at the two intersections, and
fix them to each other with threaded rods. Third step is preparing the trays by cutting 3
bamboo shelves 40 cm wide by 30, 70 and 105 cm long. Draw circles (diameters 12, 14
and 16 cm) randomly on the shelves, making sure they are not level with the bars. Then
use a jigsaw to cut out the circles and tweak your cut with sandpaper. Lastly, screw the
shelves on the 1st, 3rd and 5th bars starting at the bottom then place your horticultural
pots in each of the previously cut circles.
Since the pandemic starts, people are obsessed in taking care of plants. Most of
them loves to place their plants inside the house and one of the functions of triangular
bamboo shelf is to hold items such as plants that are being displayed and at the same
time add beauty inside the house. The purpose of triangular bamboo shelf is to help
people in making money in this time of pandemic. Making use of the trend can help
people earn some money and since bamboo sticks are available in the locality makes
them easily to create an artwork out of it.
The target audience are mostly the people who loves plants or what we called as
“plantito or plantita”. They are the one who can spend a lot of money for their plants.
Most of them are finding shelves that can be a storage for their beloved plants.
I think the audience will embrace it because it can be an aesthetic design inside
their house and can be used to display their plants in which it can make them display
their beautiful plants.
Introduction
The fabric usually used in creating artworks such as clothes in which pieces of
clothes are created as well is produced through two processes: the “spinning process,”
where raw cotton is turned into thread, and the “weaving process,” where the thread is
woven into fabric.
The artwork I am planning to create out of it is face mask which is needed in this
time of pandemic. Embracing new normal includes wearing face mask which is a need to
people nowadays to avoid Covid virus.
The resources for creating face mask are pieces of cut cloth, scissors, elastic or
rubber bands or hair ties, ruler or tape measure, thread and needle. The materials are
usually available inside the house so there’s no need to spend a lot of money in creating
it. The process starts in sewing the pieces of cloth. Second, cut the pieces of cloth that
were sewn together into 12 inches long and 7.5 inches wide. Third place the elastic or
ties in between the layers and sew them into the corner. For elastics, sew one at each
end so it creates a loop on each side. For ties, use one piece at each corner so there are
four total. Lastly, make three staggered pleats lengthwise on the mask, as if folding a
paper fan. Then sew all the way around. This will make a rectangular mask.
Wearing a face mask is one way we can all help slow the spread of the new
coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Wearing a face mask in public or community
settings, especially in situations where you may be near other people, is recommended
by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health
Organization (WHO), and many states and county health departments. Face mask out of
pieces of cloth may be suitable for people in this time of pandemic. The purpose of
wearing this is for covering a person’s mouth and nose in order to protect the people
around him/her. That’s because a person may have the disease, but aren’t showing
symptoms.
Young and adults are the target audience because it is to secure their health from
covid virus. This can be substitute for surgical mask if they find it expensive, its just that
the face mask made of pieces of cloth must be wash after using.
What made you decide to use these materials and artwork?
One of the reasons why I decided to use pieces of cut cloth as a material in
making a face mask is because instead of dumping pieces of cut cloth, it can have
numerous possible usage and one of it can help people in this time of pandemic. As for
the artwork, I choose face mask because some people don’t have money to buy medical
face mask and it’s not reusable compared to the face mask out of pieces of cut clothes, it
just need to be wash after using it.
I think the audience will embrace it because they can save money while being
protected in this time of pandemic.
I think it can be a good business to my locality because people are in need of face
mask in order to be protected. Even though it is not a medical face mask but this can
still cover people mouth and nose.
