A year full of blogging

Astronomy : My favorite part of astronomy was when we woked in groups in a podcast about stars. My group did color of stars. I liked it because I got to work with my friends. I also learned not all stars are the same color. That is what I liked about astromomy.






Weather and Climate:
My favorite part of Weathering and Climate was learning about the different kinds of climate. I never knew how much different changes in the atmosphere affected the weather. I learned something new. That is waht I liked about Weathering and Climate.









Geology: I liked the hardness test. I like the hardnees test because it was fun and interesting. I figured out that diamond is really strong. I also saw the rocks on a hardness scale, that was cool. That is what I liked about geology.







Weathering and Erosion:
My favorite part of weathering and erosion was the Ibook I made with Pati. I liked doing this because it was fun and Pati and I worked well together. I also liked this because it was the first time I have ever made an Ibook. That is what I liked about weathering and erosion.








Earths Water: My favorite parts of earths waters was ice balloons. I liked ice balloons because they were cool. The ice balloons showed me what sugar and salt did to the ice. I also learned what the food coloring did to the ice. That is why I liked ice balloons.

Water Cycle Activity

1. What is the water cycle?
The water cycle is a process that continues which moves water through the environment in which the sun is the source of energy that drives it.

2. Does the water cycle have a beginning or end?
The water does not have a beginning or end because it is a process that continues.

3. Starting with a puddle on a sunny day, describe how water might move through the water cycle and eventually fall back as rain.

The water will be in the puddle and then the suns will make it evaporate and then they will go up in the clouds and eventually condense and soon drop as some sort of precipitation.

Earth Day Project Essential Questions

# 1.People can do may things to help not pollute the earth.

#2 I know that not everybody has enough money to but a new fuel efficient car. Even if you cant buy one you can try to cut back on using your car which would help because the less exhaust in the air the better. As an average citizen trying to help save the earth you can try to car pull as much as possible or ride the bus as much as you can or when you have to rent a car try to get a fuel efficient one. People who have enough money can switch to a hybrid car. Simply all you have to do is change so of your bad driving habits. People can also get a car that uses bio fuel The last thing you could do to help try cut down on air pollution is ride you bike as much as you possibly can. That is what people could do to help try to stop or cut down air pollution.

#3 In the worst case scenario if nobody changed there bad driving habits the air could soon become toxic for humans and animals to breath. If this happens you could get really sick and in the worst case even die. That is why you should try to cut back your bad driving habits as much as possible.

#4 In the best case scenario if everybody stopped there bad driving habits they could reduce the air pollution very much. If this happens the air would be much cleaner and people would be much safer. That is why people so try to cut back on bad driving habits as much as possible.

Penny Lab

Procedure: First put a penny on a paper towel then get an eyedropper and fill it up. Then put as many drops of water on the penny until the penny overflows.

Prediction: I predicted that it would take 15 drops of water until the penny overflowed.

Outcome: The penny held 23 drops of water and then it overflowed.

Explanation of accountable water properties: This happen because the penny was not able to hold anymore water because the edges were to small.

Roaring 40's

Picture of the Roaring 40's

The place I am visiting is the Roaring 40's. The Roaring 40's is a cool and scary place.It is located between the latitude of 40 degrees south and 50 degrees south. We are here to study the extremely strong wind causing large waves before we go sailing on them. Here we have to make it all the way back to the shore if we need to go back since there are no large pieces of land in the Roaring40's. When here i realized that the strong winds hits the water causing extremely large waves. The large waves can damage plants and animals as well as humans. Here people have tried to surf and they were not successful because the waves would knock them over. Sailors also have sailed the roaring 40's. Not many people like going here because of the huge waves. I think I am going to change my mind about sailing the Roaring 40's. That is what learned at the Roaring 40's.
