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.

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

Image
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
