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.

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
