Weekly Blog Post - "Waves" (3|19|18 - 3|25|18)

Summary: During this week, I learned about electromagnetic and mechanical waves. I learned that a mechanical wave needs a medium to pass through. I learned that an  electromagnetic wave didn't need a medium to pass through--since radiowaves are electromagnetic waves, they can pass through space easily. I also learned that the trough was the lowest point of the wave and that the smaller a wave was, the higher the frequency would be. I learned that a frequency measured how many waves passed in one second.

SP1: Asking questions and defining problems. I asked questions such as "How would people measure radiation waves?" and "How would people identify a surface wave." I also asked questions such as "Are there any special devices to measure different waves?"

The Circulatory (Cardiovascular) System

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 u...

Late! Project Blog Post

Image
This is a picture of our Charity Fair Project Summary: What I learned was about our Carbon Footprint. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted due to the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person or a group.  Backward-Looking: To be honest, I really didn't know much about a Carbon Footprint. It wasn't until my teacher explained to us what a carbon footprint was until I really started to understand. If my teacher didn't explain what a carbon footprint was, and someone came up to me and asked, "I know what a carbon footprint is. Do you?" Then I'd probably be all like, "What on earth is a carbon footprint?" Inward-Looking: I thought that the carbon footprint was a bit too complicated for me, but I managed it with the help of my other teammates. I don't really understand why I would dislike some parts because it seemed fine to me.   Outward-Looking:  The grade I would give myself is an ...

The Nervous System

Image
The Structure & Function:  What is the function of the nervous system? The function of the nervous system is to control the other systems and make them function, that consists of involuntary movements - movements that we don't have to think about, such as making our heart beat, or the act of digestion . They connect to other systems through the spinal cord and neurons. LiveScience - The Nervous System What are the names & functions of the major organs in the nervous system? The Brain: The cerebral cortex controls everything in your body, including the involuntary movements that are controlled by the unconscious part of the brain (cerebral cortex) which is located in the brain stem.  Spinal Cord: The spinal cord connects nerves to the rest of our body so we can have the feeling of touch. The spinal cord also sends messages from the nerves to the brain and the other way around. For example, if you break your leg, then the spinal cord sends those message...
