I have been working on this diorama that shows some of the past and current resources in British Columbia. The river is important because they are used for gold panning and routes for trading, as well fishing. The mountains are used for mineral sites and certain fur like bear. People all a round took camping territories (staked claims) as seen in this picture marked as: Barker, Jones, and Cameron , and the unmarked tent is on Cameron's territory just so you know. This is made mostly out of paper mache and wax and the rest is made out of styrofoam and paint, pebbles and fir branches. I may still add more trees and a railway track to show the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Today i learned about motion and forces like inertia and friction. Here is a website to make blueprints of a roller coasters.. and it helps you learn about forces, motion and physics.

I also learned about different kinds of forces, such as: applied force, gravitational force, tension force, frictional force, and normal force. It will be interesting to see what other things I will learn.
In October, I went to a vineyard owned by family friends, the Cerqueira family. We learned all about
grapes like: Semillon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Merlot. Their orchard is 15 acres, and about 80
rows.I even shot a flare (my favourite part). They have so many different rooms in their house. In this
picture I'm in one of their cellars. We went inside for about an hour and a half, I had portuguese
coffee after lunch. They have chickens too. Behind their chicken coop is their shed (it has so
many different tools etc.) After that I had a tractor ride and my mom was behind us on the golf cart.
We then went to the Borrowing Owl winery. Luckily we got a VIP tour around Borrowing Owl. I also
got to do a worker's job for bit. All thanks to the Cerqueira family.
Sincerely, Cole Hentzelt
