States of Matter 2.0 2/12/17

Summary-

This week in science we learned more about solid, liquid, and gas/states of matter. What we learned about mostly was shape, volume, and the particles in each state of matter. What I learned about gas was that it has a changing shape, this is because it moves based on it's container. Also it's particles move very very freely and the particles aren't linked like how they are for the other states. What I learned about a solid is that the particles vibrate but stay in one place and are linked. Also a solid has a definite shape and volume.  What I learned about a liquid was the particles are linked but move more freely than the particles in a solid.

S&EP 1-Asking  Questions & Defining Problems-

 This week I asked lot's of questions, this is because I had many questions about particle movement, similarities, and differences for the states of matter. For example, I didn't know what the similarity between a gas and a solid so I asked tablemates thought about what they talked about and made my own answer. These questions were very valuable in completing my scientific work.

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
