we did a experiment on streams where we got to choose what variables we were gonna use. my team decided we were gonna due the speed of water verses the speed of mountain dew verses the speed of milk. We made a curved stream on the stream bed while it was on a slope. Mountain Dew got the highest speed with about 14 seconds. Milk got the second with about 17. And water got about 22. Those were the averages. The lab was really fun. In the beginning of the lab we made a prediction and mine was right because i predicted that mountain dew would go the fastest because the carbonation, and it did!

odyssey was a camp on a lake that we went to a couple weeks ago. It was reallllllly fun. we went on a bunch of hikes, my favorite one was the Cape Flattery hike that we got to go to. When you reached the end of the hike you got to the end of the world with beautiful blue / green water. When you looked across from the viewpoint you could see Tatoosh Island with a lighthouse on it. it was magnificent. The food was great too! since we have vegewtarians in the school mrs. thompson made vegetarian dishes :) it was great. i had ALOT of fun!

mmmkay, so we learned about earth quakes most recently, and they were cool. to demonstrate how they worked, mr. g took us outside in the sunshine to show us the different kids of waves. we did the Primary waves and had our arms tighly linked and we transfered a push threw the whole line. then we did Secondary waves and had our arms loose and we moved quite slow with a push. then theres love waves that move the ground from side to side in right angles. then theres Rayleigh waves that move in a vertical way up and down, it was interestiiiiiing

the best type of energy transfer is radiation from the sun to the earth because t helps gardens grow it stores carbon then we can breathe!! :) theres also electric transfer which is like a charger, or a battery. a example is we took a frying pan, then cracked a egg on it and its transffering thermal energy form the pan to the egg.

i was geologist... i figured out how high the crust was from water level and stuff like thaaat.
my little area to study was like, north american plate. and yeah, well my are is high.. and it has alot of mountains on the west coast. we also learned that there is three plate types: convergent, which is when two plates come together. Divergent, which is when two plates slide apart. and Transform plates which slide past eachother, crazy ehh?

so i guess i'm just gonna right my conclusin that i wrote in my notebook.
so yeah, conclusion:
When I changed my amount of salt in the water the crayons floated to the top by darkest to lightest because the dark crayons are less dense then light ones. My prediction was wrong because i predicted the lighter crayons like yellow were gonna float. I thought they were gonna have less chemicals in them so they would float. The white crayon floated to the top with the most salt. It had 9 teaspoons of salt. Our first crayon floated with 2 teaspoons. That was the black crayon. Our crayons were to big to float so we had to break them.

weathering is the breakdown of material caused by wind, water, plants, animals. Erosion is the movement or weathered material. Erosion can happen when soil is unprotected from strong winds.
To prevent Erosion from happening you can plant trees. Or on crops you can plant marram grass.

Waddup.
Okay so we leanrned about Conduction, Radiation, and Convection. I learned that heat starts in an object by molecules pretty much jumping around together. Heat can be passed on without the molecules touching; that is called radiation. Convection is a coolant. (im pretty sure) its a really interesting thing to learn about. Oh and insulation is to keep either cool, or warm air stored in like your house of car.

Hello :D its daire.
anyways. WE did a biome commercial on "Polar and High Moutnain Ice" adn i dont think my team mates helped out very much. We could have done it better if we addded the human impact and more stuff. but we didnt. I loved all the commercails because i though they were so hilarious. Polar and High Mountain ice is located mostly in Antartica. It's pretty much the freezing cold areas. I learned alot from this assignment and i think it was very fun, thanks mr. g.
Sincerly, Daire.
