Start of Cell Wars 9/18/16


       This week we started a new project called cell wars, and the point of cell wars is to sell why your organelle is the best out of all the other ones, and my organelle is the cell wall. One thing I have learned this week is that a cell wall is in every plant cell and plant cell only. Also that they chloroplast is in the plant cell so we will be smearing them a lot (smear means talk smack  about another organelle in a nice educational way). Another thing I learned is that the cell walls function. The cell walls function is it creates the plants shape and it determines what comes in and out of each cell to keep the each cell protected. The last thing I learned was that the cell wall protects bacteria from coming into the cell.

S&EP 1-Asking questions and defining problems:

        This week I asked a lot of questions. The types of questions I asked are the already known things about the cell wall but not known by my group. One question I asked was what is the function of the cell wall and another question was what is the cell wall made of. All those questions got answered. We found one problem though that it will be harder for us to sell or idea because unlike other organelles we are only in the plant and not in the human body. This is a problem because then some people will believe that we are not as important. But because of the last question I asked that won't be a problem. The question was what is the importance of cell walls, and it answered it helps keep plants and plant cells alive. That makes it easier because without plants  people wouldn't have oxygen to breath so cell walls are vital for humans. So that is the importance of asking scientific questions you truly learn about why things are important and you can use that information in life.

The Sulfur Cycle 1/20/18

Image
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
