A year of Documented Learning

1. Astroomy: My favorite topice was how the Moon controled the tides. The reason is becaus i never knew that the moon controled the tides. But when i think about it water isn't like rock, the gravity from the moon pulls the water causing tides around the world. Like high tides,low tides, spaing tides, and neap tides.



2. Weater and Climate (Earth's Atmosphere):My favorite topic was the diffrent levels of the atmosphere, cause I always thought that the atmosphere was a huge cloud of gas surounding Earth. the diffrent levels of the atmosphere are the Troposphere, the Stratosphere, the Mesosphere, the Thermoshpere, and the Exoshpere.



3. Geology: my favorite topice was how they made map projections. Like the Mercator Projection, the Equal-Area projection, the Conic projection, and the Interrupted projection. The reason is because i thnk its amzing how geologists can use these diffrent kind of projections to help find locations.



4. Weathering and Erosion: My fravorite topice was how mechanical weathering worked. Like freezing and thawing, release of pressure, plant growth, actions of animals, and abrasion.



5. Earth's waters: My favorite topice was how we treat drinking water. The reason is because I have always woundered how we did that and now i know. The filtration and cleaning of the water is amzing, like the settling basins, or aeration.

ways to conserve energy at home

group 21 ways to conserve energy

annotated bibilogrophy

1. What, specifically about your topic, are you going to research? A: ways to conserve energy in homes.

2.What conclusions did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference? Be specific. This is the main part of your assignment. A: The conclusion i came to is that people need to turn off un used light bulbs off or other appliances. Another is turn up your thermostat and use energy efficient light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs burn less energy and don't burn you when you touch them. The reason you should turn your thermostat down is because the thermostat will use less energy than before. Some others are that people need to turn down their refrigerator to about 37 degrees, and to have dishwashers that have the drying cycle turned off because you can had dry the dishes. Another is to replace old appliances with new, energy saving, appliances. The reason is because old appliances use more energy than newer appliances.

3.What would happen if, worst-case scenario, nobody listened to your recommendations? A: What would happen is people would lose more money and would have power plants burn more fossil fuels

4.What would happen if, best-case scenario, everybody listened to your recommendations? A: What would happen if people would listen is that people would save more money and, which would save the power plants some money as well

penny lab

Procedure: place a penny on some paper and drop water drops onto of the penny and see how many the penny can hold

Prediction: the water will over flow with three drops

Outcome: the water over flowed on twenty drops on the penny

Explanation: the positive hydrogen ends of one water molecule attract the negative oxygen ends of nearby water molecules. as a result, the water molecules tend to stick together.

Dear Reader,
I have recently visited the Mekong River in South Asia.I went there for being a tourist. Somethings I saw when I was there was a lot of fish, also different cultures sine it passes through South Asia, China, and Vietnam. Where the river is by the Himalayas its colder, but by Vietnam it gets a little warmer.A lot of people go fishing there and bath there also they canoe there. The rivers water goes from slow to calm to fast and then over again. Corps growing near are sugar cane and corn. The fairy bush, bauhinia variegata candida, and the river palm. Animals there are mug pig, basin,tadpoles, and fish. Around this river there is a lot of delta's because the waters force is so big.
