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.
