Weekly Blog 01/26: Surprise:   I was looking at the crystals when I was surprised. The surprise was the crystals. I was surprised because I thought the unknown would be MSG, but instead it was salt. I learned that sometimes you need to look deeper into an experiment and that you should never judge something by looks. Summary: This week we discussed the Unknown Crystal. I learned that unknown crystal was salt because salt was the only crystal that looked like unknown. Backward-Looking: The resource[s] I used this week was the magnifying glass, the sheet with labels on it, and the Popsicle sticks. I would use all my resources for another experiment, because they helped me measure the amount of crystals, what kind of crystals they were, and what they looked like. Some of them I never seen before, like MSG and Epsom salt. Inward-Looking: My work satisfied me because I had my resources, my notes, and I was trying my best to get the answers right. It satisfied me because I...

Weekly Blog: Surprise : I was thought that the M&M in the cold water would dissolve faster but instead it was the M&M in hot water and it was surprising because the M&M in hot water dissolved first and the temperature from the water was making the M&M dissolve faster. Summary: This week our team worked on M&M's in different temperatures. The temperatures were - Hot, Cold, and Room Temperature. The M&M that was in the plate with Hot water dissolved first, then Room temperature, and then Cold water.  Backward - Looking: The resources I used were a tub, a plate with drawn circles inside it, a cup, and M&Ms. They were helpful because it helped me understand how M&Ms would react in different temperatures. I would use them again because they helped me learn lots of things that I didn't know about.  Inward - Looking: I feel pleased with my work because I have learned a lot about dissolving sugar. I like it because I think that I understood ho...

                              Experiments: Surprise : In science we did an M&M experiment called Racing M&Ms I thought the orange M&M was going to dissolve faster but instead the yellow M&M dissolved first. Summary: I learned that the Yellow M&M would dissolve faster because light reflects off of it . I also learned that sometimes nobody gets the same results. Backward-Looking: The resource[s] I used this week was the computer and the internet. My resources were extremely helpful because most of the situations I didn't know what they did or how to prevent them, etc. I would use them again because they helped me do a science project that needed lots of information about those weather conditions.   Inward-Looking:  My work satisfied me because I had my resources, my notes, and I was trying my best to get the answers right. It satisfied me because I tried my best.  ...

          Severe Weather Project Reflection: Summary: The project was a bit challenging because I had to research all the information about the drought, hailstorm, hurricanes, floods and etc. The project was exciting too because I got to make trading cards. Backward-Looking Reflection: The resources I used this week were the links that we used in the computer. These resources were especially helpful because it had lots if information in the websites. I would use these again for other projects and assignments.  Inward-Looking Reflection: What was satisfying about my work this week was a trading card project about severe weather. It was satisfying because I got a decent amount of the cards done. I was pleased with it because I got lots of work done.    Outward-Looking: I did my work the way the others did. It was similar because I had my assumptions just like the others and I did most of my work by doing a simi...

Weather: Summary: Weather is powered by the sun, water cycle and wind. Weather happens in the troposphere - the first layer of the atmosphere. Weather is tornadoes, hail, sleet, snow, droughts, floods, hurricanes and lots more. Backward-Looking Reflection: I used the computer. My resources were especially helpful this week. I would use them again because it has information that I can use. Inward-Looking Reflection: I feel like I did a good job on my work and that I got lots done. I liked the part were we got to research the weather on EDHEADS. 

Reflective : Mr. Cuttatree

Dear Mr. Cuttatree, I heard that you were going to cut down the trees of the rainforest to build your Uppitty Resort. Building your resort from the trees of the rainforest will cause these effects: lack of oxygen, mudslides, and loss of natural medicine from animals; anti-venom. This is bad for the all the animals such as the blue moth. This also bad for the environment because the animals that eat the blue moth will die out because they do not have the food they need to reproduce. The top predators that eat the animal will die out because they do not have the food they need to reproduce. Here are my three main reasons: Main Reason #1: Cutting down the trees of the rainforest will cause the lack of oxygen. In our class, we did some photosynthesis activities and research and found that their waste gas is oxygen. If you cut down the trees we will suffer loss of most of our oxygen. Without oxygen Earth will become the suffocating place it once was. All the whales, dolphins and manat...
