Scientific Experiment 9/9/16


Image result for magnet experiment

     This week my science class did a science experiment with a partner (my partners were my friends Mason and Antonio). What I learned from doing this experiment was which magnet is stronger, a circle or square and it was circle. I learned that because my experiment was exactly that which magnet was stronger and we tested that by putting paper clips on each magnet and seeing which magnet will hold the most. I also learned how to analyze data after you are done with your experiment. One other thing I learned was more about the scientific method because this week we actually performed it. The thing I learned about the scientific method was that depending on your experiment you may not have to use some of the steps of the scientific method. I know this because that exactly happened to me because my group skipped some steps and yet our experiment was still good and fair.


 S&EP 4 Analyzing and Interpreting Data:

      This week I did some analyzing. I did some analyzing by creating a chart/table based of my results and data I got from my experiment. The things I put in my chart were a title, which magnet, how much paperclips each magnet held, and I put a title/caption at the top of each column so the people looking at the table understand what I am talking about.

Systems In a Human Body Info Paper 10/15/15

Friday and Monday we were writing down the definitions of (I believe) organelles that are part of the urinary and digestive system. Here are some examples of some of the organs my class had to write down the definitions for, the esophagus, the pancreas, the liver, the small intestine, and the large intestine. One thing that I forgot to add is that there was one other paper that had the definitions down for my class because I did not want anybody thinking that my teacher would make us write the definitions on our own out of the blue. The way we knew the definitions was because on Thursday or Friday I forgot which day any ways my teacher showed what every organ that we had to write the definition for what each organ did in order. But the fun part was she assigned every single person in my science class an organ to make it fun. What also helped was that Ms. J went over the answers with my science class also she allowed us to switch our answers if we got them wrong that especially helped

Chemistry Mastery Quest 2 Regrade

The Question I got Wrong Was: Reactions that involve burning are classified as I originally answered decomposition, the correct answer was actually exothermic. I realize now that exothermic is the better answer and was the correct answer. This is because exothermic reactions release heat causing its environment to get warmer. This creates a rise in the temperature which creates the burn. This means that exothermic reactions involve burning. This is why the correct answer was better than my original answer and is the best answer.

Plate Tectonics 3/10/18

Image
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
