We have three 6th grade Science classes and two 8th grade Science classes blogging here from the Pacific Northwest in Chimacum, WA! Sixth graders are learning a bit about Mt Saint Helens, environmental science through fresh water ecology, and physical science this year. Eighth graders are learning about life science this year. Please join us as we learn Science by exploring our world.

before i start talking about benthic stuff, you should know i have no idea what benthic means!anyways my partner and i only took 2 pictures because someone deleted the other pictures so we only took a picture of a scud and a stone-fly. on are other pictures we had a leach, a aquatic worm, those little squirmy things,and a bloodworm.our class score was 21, and chimacum creek vs. yellow jacket creek I'm pretty sure yellow jacket creek won!

water cycle

Article posted October 28, 2011 at 09:28 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1745

evaporation comes first:warmth from the lakes,ice,streams,and soils to turn into water vapor in the air.almost all of the precipatated water goes right back into the air because of evaporation.the rest runs off the land or soaks into the ground to become ground water.

the second thing is Transpiration: Transpiration happens when plants give off water vapor through tiny pores in their leaves. This is the plants way of getting rid of waste, just like people and animals sweat when they are hot, This water vapor evaporates into the air and is stored in the atmosphere until it becomes clouds or precipitation.

the third thing is condisation:Condensation is the opposite of evaporation. It takes place when water vapor in the air condenses from a gas, back into a liquid form, and leaves the atmosphere, returning to the surface of the Earth.

the fourth is presipatation:Precipitation is made up of any type of water that falls to the earth like snow, hail, mist, or rain. Here in Wisconsin, we get about 30-32 inches of precipitation every year.

the fifth is ground water:Ground water is simply water under the ground where the soil is completely filled or saturated with water. This water is also called an "aquifer."

the sixth is water vapor:Water vapor is water in a gas form that is held in the air until it changes back to water. You know, sometimes it is sticky outside in the summer that is just water held in the air.

the last is energy: The sun shines on water in rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands and oceans and makes the water warmer. This turns the water into vapor or steam. The water vapor leaves the lake or ocean or river and goes into the air, where it becomes a cloud.

mount st helens

Article posted October 28, 2011 at 08:43 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1841

i think there are sighns of life on mt st helens,There are many examples of life returning to Mt Saint Helens from the trees and plants that are all over the blast zone. Also in Meta Lake there are many trees as well as tadpoles, birds and fish. Deer are spotted at times, too.

the ash from the mountain rose 80,000 feet up in the air.57 people including thousands of animals were killed,and 30 were missing. people say the might of died or they were just badly injured.the damage that it made costed $2.74 billion dollars.

the eruption was preceded by a two-month series of earthquakes and steam-venting episodes,caused by a injection by magma and shallow depth below the volcano that created a huge buldge and fracture system on mt st helens north slope.

a river or esuary is polluted when a substance that degrades so that water quality enters waterway and alters. people can survive without food for sevral weeks, but without water we would die in just a few days.

the ocean recycles the air we breath. they absorb greenhouse gases relesed by the burning of the fossil fuils. the effects of water polluion are farreaching and effect not only the envirement, but human beings and animals as well.

water is consitered polluted when chemicals, pathogens, or contamitatsions. humans are affected by the heavy meatals invested by the fish and shellfith,causing health problems and sometimes death. rivers and lakes are also polluted from heavy silt or sediment run-off from construction sites.

littering on the land or on the water is a source of water pollution. these types of algae are consitered toxic because they have been known to cause fatalities in humans. Water pollution affects our oceans, lakes, rivers, and drinking water, making it a widespread and global concern. Numerous diseases, health problems, and even fatalities have been associated with water pollution.
