Science and Engineering Practices Quiz Re-Grade 8/25/17


      The first question I got wrong was:

     1. Students at their tables read three articles about different communities that have instituted plans to conserve energy. They evaluate the information to create a plan for how their own community can conserve energy and share their plan during Student Exhibition Night.

       I originally answered obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information. I realized now looking back at the question that it says that they "evaluate the information to create a plan." Because it says create a plan I realized now that the correct answer was planning and carrying out information. In the question it literally says the answer and I should've of realized that.

     The second question I got wrong was:

      2. After wondering about how the size of a magnet affects the number of paperclips it can pick up, a group of students develops a procedure that answers their question. They gather data and report back to the class.

      I originally answered analyzing and interpreting data. I realized now that in the question it says that they "developed a procedure that answers their question" and then they reported it. That basically means they did the scientific method which is part of carrying out an investigation.

       The third and last question I got wrong was:

      3. Students in Mrs. Garcia's class use a class chart of what different animals eat and group the animals in different ways based on their food sources. Students then discuss which animals would be affected if changes occurred to different food sources.

       I first thought the answer was obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information. The correct answer was analyzing and interpreting data. This was a better answer then what I thought because in the question it says that they used a chart and a chart is something that you analyze. It says thought that the students discussed it but that was after they talked about the chart. They discussed it though by the data they got from the chart so that is why the correct answer is better than mine.

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 ...

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...
