Heat 3/5/17

Image result for three ways heat moves

This week I learned a lot about heat, I learned how it moves and some examples of it by taking notes reading articles and doing a couple of assignments on it. I learned there are three forms of how heat moves conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the direct transfer of heat when one thing (substance ) and another are touching each other. For example, when you are on the beach and it's a hot day the sand is making your feet hot because of conduction. Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid and hot air rises and cool air sinks like shown in the picture. Radiation is the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. For example, when you go outside and it is hot the sun heat's your face because of radiation.

S&EP 2_Devoloping and Using Models-

This week I created a model by making a foldable that showed what each form of heat was and a picture to show it. This is creating a model I created something that showed different things with different sections which is what a model is. My model showed 3 ways of heat moved and something to show it.

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
