Omnivore or Vegetarian? 11/5/16



Link
      This week in science we were discussing if it is easier to be a omnivore or vegetarian we discussed this by taking notes on 6 different videos and articles and starting a new essay about which one to chose. One thing I learned was if more people become vegetarian it could stop world hunger because farmers won't have to feed as much animals. Another thing I learned was that if you are an omnivore it makes it easier to get the nutrition a human needs. Also that when being an omnivore you have a better chance of getting overweight because it is easier to eat over the amount of food you need when being a omnivore. One other thing I learned was that if you are a vegetarian you have a better chance of not getting certain diseases. The last thing I learned was that if you are a vegetarian you have to eat a variety of foods to make sure you get the nutrition you need.

S&EP 7_Engaging in Argument from Evidence-

       This week I used evidence to support my claim about how being a vegetarian is better than being an omnivore. I did this by starting to write an essay about how being a vegetarian is better, also I engaged in a discussion with my classmates about which one is better. I used evidence from articles and a video to support my claim about how being a vegetarian is better because it helps the world and you.

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
