Cell War video and poster 9/23/16


    This week my group completed our poster and are almost done with our video. The things I learned this week were that how my organelles shape is related to it's function. For me my group is the cell wall and the cell wall's shape is related to it's function because it covers the outside of the cell to have most of the protection. Also that the cell wall pretty much determines how big the plant will be and the shape of it. The last thing I learned is that a cell wall is made of cellulose. Cellulose is a special sugar.


S&EP7_Engaging in argument from evidence:

Ethan, my friend and I engaged in a smear campaign for a class project and our argument was that the mitochondria is very bad because it can give you a very bad disease. We used evidence by adding a professional website that we double checked that talked about the disease that the mitochondria gives humans.

The Sulfur Cycle 1/20/18

Summary:        This week in science we learned about biogeochemical cycles, more specifically, I learned about the biogeochemical cycle known as the Sulfur Cycle. What I now know about the Sulfur Cycle because of what I learned this week through research is each part in the sulfur cycle. I also now know that their are a lot of different parts in the sulfur, but my focus was trying to make this complicated cycle very simple and easy to understand. The first part in the Sulfur Cycle is  Hydrogen Sulfide Gas is released into the atmosphere by the eruptions of volcanoes, hot springs (“ spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater that rises from the Earth's crust. ”) , and the decay of living biological sulfur-containing materials in swamps, bogs, and tidal flats. Sulfur is also released from the ocean in sulfur-containing compounds in sea spray, and as the gas hydrogen sulfide. I also know that most of the sulfur released from the world's oceans does so

Plate Tectonics 3/10/18

Summary:        This week in science we learned about Plate Tectonics. Plates have been on Earth for thousands of years and are consistently moving (very slowly). Through this the Earth can recycle our land, by destroying the old land, and creating new land. These plates are made of rock and are in the lithosphere layer of the Earth. Another thing I know is that there are 3 different type of plate boundaries. Those three types of plate boundaries are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. Convergent boundaries are when two plates collide and their are two different types of convergent boundaries. The two types of convergent boundaries are collisional boundaries and subduction zones. A collisional boundary is when two plates with the same density collide. Because they are the same density the plates buckle and warp. The land then pushes up into jagged peaks forming a mountain. Subduction zones are when one dense ocean plate converges with a lighter con

Analog Vs. Digital debate - WAC 3 Argument | Nicolas Reed-8th Grade Science

nreed1005 Ms. Garcia Science 8 4/5/19 Digital is Better than Analog        “There's an ongoing flood of new LP releases (Amazon currently lists 938,000 LP titles ). Kings of Leon, Taylor Swift, Nine Inch Nails, and Kanye West all have their latest releases available on LP.” according to the article titled, “Why does analog sound better than digital,” by Steve Guttenberg. Digital is better than analog. Digital allows you to have a clearer sound that is controllable and can last forever. Most importantly, it is cheaper, which means that it can used by almost anyone. Analog is the past, we must invest in the future and use digital.        Using digital means having high quality sound that can be manipulated. “Digital has certain perfect things about it [, it] immediately solved all the problems of analog background noise, hiss, where pitch control all of those things.” according to the video titled, “Analog or Digital? (1993),” from PastVid. Digital allows you to have “go
