Environmental Part of Urban Village 5/14/17


     Summary

Link
     This week in science we learned about how you and your team can help make your urban village a very pro environmental village. One thing I learned was that by simply adding more bike and walkways you simply can invite more people to not use their car as much and from a result of that there will be a lot less gas going into the air. Also that if you have more public transportation that can help stop gas going into the air. This is because a lot of people can fit into a bus, train, etc. but not that much people can fit into one car, so you are using a lot less gas by having more public transportation. Another thing I learned was that simply just every year talk about the thing that is hurting the community the most in terms of environmentally to get the community aware and start fixing it. The last thing I learned was that promoting renewable energy really can save lots of energy and then you can use that energy for something that really needs it.

     S&EP 6-Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions

     This week we really had to design and construct explanations because we had to construct our own explanation in our own words of each accord we would like to implement in our urban village. We also had to design solutions because we had to create ways that we would make this happen in our village. For example, passing a law. So as you can see in order for us to do our work we really had to do both of these things.

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
