Soil Erosion Project Blog

This is a screenshot of our IGNITE presentation.
Summary:
What I learned about our Soil Erosion project was how soil erosion damage costs billions of dollars. I also learned that soil erosion polluted waters, and was a cause of farmland loss. 
Backward-Looking:
What I already knew about this project was what soil erosion was. I already knew from a book that soil erosion was the wearing away of a field's topsoil, which is the second layer of soil. The first is humus. The other layers are: Subsoil, Weathered Rock Fragments, and last but not least, Bedrock.

Inward-Looking:
What I feel about our project is we were.... okay. I mean, I feel that I was looking down at the script too much, but at the same time, I didn't make a mistake, besides the script. So.... in other words.... it was neutral. The parts that I liked were how we were very specific on what soil erosion was. Another thing I liked was how we saved our solution for the end, because usually, with me is, the last thing some people say, are usually the last things I remember. 
So even if our classmates don't exactly remember the problem of Newtok, Alaska, then they'll at least, remember what the solution could be. I hope. There was really nothing that I didn't like, besides the fact, as I mention earlier, that I was pretty much staring down at the script the entire time. I feel that I'm repeating myself when I'm answering this question: What did/do you enjoy about this piece or work? My answer to this question is okay. As I mentioned earlier.

Outward-Looking:
The grade that I would give myself is an A-. I say this because I was pretty good for the most part, trying to make eye contact, and staying on track though that might have just been because I was looking at the script. Now if I was looking at it less, I might consider giving myself an A. But since that didn't happen, I'm sticking with an A-, though I'd prefer an A, but who cares.
Forward-Looking:
I'm repeating myself. I'm so happy. Because I've mentioned this before. Like over ten times. I think that whoever is reading this, (besides my teacher,) knows exactly what I'm going to say next. I need to work on NOT STARING DOWN AT THE SCRIPT.

The Circulatory (Cardiovascular) System

Image
The Structure & Function: What is the function of the circulatory system?   The job of the circulatory   system works on circulating blood, lymph, nutrients, oxygen, other gasses, and hormones throughout the body, hence the name circulatory system. The circulatory system also balances temperature and pH balance while protecting the body from diseases. The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, blood, lymph, and the lymphatic glands & vessels. https://s3.amazonaws.com/classconnection/128/flashcards/8043128/png/insideheart1328771781022-14DEA48509547B9E19F.png What are the names and functions of the major organs in the circulatory system?  The names & functions of the major organs in the circulatory system are... Heart (cardiovascular): The heart is an organ that pumps blood through the body, providing oxygen & nutrients to the tissues (such as muscles). The heart also works on removing carbon dioxide and other unwanted wastes (whi

The Renal (Excretory, Urinary) System

Image
The Structure & Function:  What is the function of the renal system? The function of the renal system is the eradication of wastes manufactured by homeostasis (this word comes from two combined words in Greek: "homeo" meaning similar, & "stasis" meaning stable). The organs that are used in this process are the lungs, the liver, & the kidneys. What are names & functions of the major organs in the renal system? The names & functions of the major organs in the renal system are... Kidneys: the kidneys are organs that receive the waste from the body. The kidneys then percolate things from the waste, such as salt, urea, & excess water which is disposed from the body as urine. Skin: The skin executes its function through sweat glands. Sweat is used to cool us off as well as to get rid of unwanted oils, salt, water, and other gratuitous elements that ooze from small pores in the skin. Lungs: The lungs, an important organ in both th

10/24 Interdependence of Organisms

Image
              Interdependence of Organisms The interdependence of organisms is when organisms depend on each other for food to survive. Their whole reason to survival is so that they can live long enough to reproduce.  Backward Looking - Reflection: If an animal disappears from the rainforest then the animal who depends on this dying species for it's survival will also die due to lack of food. And so on and so on. Also it will affect the animal/plant that it does eat, meaning if the humming bird disappears from the rainforest or other biomes it will affect flowers or other plants, meaning they will over populate or under populate and that biome/rainforest will not have a healthy balances of plants and animals. Inward Looking - Reflection: I liked the work that I did this week because I could understand all the animals and the food chains/webs. I also liked it because of the fun activities that we did.I liked it because instead of using everyday textbooks, we get to google thi
