Sound and Music | 2/25/19-3/1/19


“What effect can very loud music have on your hearing?” In your answer provide specific evidence, including organ names to help substantiate your claim.
       The effect that very loud music can have on your hearing is that eventually, your hearing will begin to decline. As when consistently listening to very loud music, your hair cells inside of your inner ear will begin to become overworked and will die. This will causing leaking in your ear which is what creates the ringing sound in people's ears. When your hair cells begin to die, your hearing will become progressively worse as the hair cells are what allow your ear to interpret sound and so that the brain can understand the signal. Not only will your hair cells be affected, but so will the cochlea which will really damage your hearing. In closing, loud music will cause damage to the cochlea and more specifically the hair cells. This will result in ringing in your ears and your brain not being to understand sound signals as well.
Some of the information has come from the article by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention titled, "How Does Loud Noise Cause Hearing Loss?"

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
