Animal Adaptations in Different Habitats 10/23/16



Bear Hibernating Link
     This week I learned about habitats and the adaptations that animals have to continue and live in that environment. One thing I learned about animal adaptations is their is different types of them, and they are physical adaptations and behavioral adaptations. Another thing I learned is what those different adaptations mean. Physical adaptations are a physical change or characteristics and behavioral adaptations mean a way a certain animal acts. The last thing I learned was some examples of behavioral and physical adaptations. Some example of physical adaptations is having long body parts like a giraffe's neck, webbed feet, and shedding. Some examples of behavioral adaptations is storing food, migration, being nocturnal, and hibernation.


S&EP 6_ Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions:

      This week I did a lot of explaining because I had to do this doc about habitats and a lot of the questions involved explaining. For example one of the questions was what do beavers need to stay alive so I had to explain the things they need to stay alive. I constructed my solutions by watching a video and taking in all the information to create a solution for each problem.

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

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
