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.

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
