Conferences Update

I learned that earthquakes happen like around the edges of continents. I learned about the Mid Atlantic Ridge. We learn about alot of different things in this class we talk about like weather and how that relates to particles but something I really like about this class is that we get to talk about how actual science works, we learn how actual science works and this year i have learned a lot more about science, scientist, and how science works because of open discussions in class, discussions on edmodo and things on the class website. We also learn about how science works by observing things like the tray investigations and the tubes

I could actually try to participate more, like if i know something will try to confuse me i just don't even try to think about it. participate when i want to and like sometimes some days I like don't really care about anything and I don't even try to participate even though i know i should or sometimes when I like that we have open discussions and we don't have to read out of a book on our owns because i know that if we did work out of a book and did those boring worksheets everyday i wouldn't learn anything...i would just get the work done and never give a crap about it again. I don't like that like the worksheets make us think so hard even though that's kinda the point...to keep thinking about things so yeah...

open discussion video

one project i really enjoyed was when we did an investigation with people in other class periods we all worked on it during our own class period and at the end we all saw it put together.

Global Warming

I chose to learn more about global warming because I hear a lot of people talk about it but nobody really says what it is, they just say global warming can destroy the worl. I didn't know a lot about global warming but In learned that according to about 2,500 scientist humans are the cause of global warming.
When humans are the cause of climate change it is called anthropogenic climate change. I found out what keeps the Earth from going into space and staying on the Earth, that is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse gasses absorb the heat and keep it from leaving Earth, even though the greenhouse affect is important to keep the heat, human activities are increasing the greenhouse gasses that absorb heat and those additional gasses are making a big difference to the climate and it's effecting not only animals but it can effect humans too.
I thought only animals in the North and South Pole are being effected by Global Warming but animals all over the world have to learn to adapt to the changes not only animals that live in the cold.
Heat effects farmers, in places like Africa they are getting droughts and they don't have water for their crops.
Human's can slow down the process of Global Warming by saving energy but humans won't change they will just deny they are the reason for global warming. I thought only animals and the weather was being affected by global warming but Global Warming affects almost everything going on! I think people should atleast make an effort to slow down the global warming process.

Day5

Today we are writing the conclusionn of our paper and making sure our link works fine on the ning. We are fixing our errors on the document trying to not miss mistakes.

Day 4

Today everything evaporated at the same pace as yesterday. We are about ready to write our conclusion and post it to ning.

Day 3 of research2

Everything we hoped and expected to happen happened. We predicted the salt water would have most density and that is how it turned out. The sugar water had the lowest density and kool-aid had in between middle density.

Research Question2

Our research question is which water evaporates faster? salt water sugar water and kool-aid. Once we get the procucts we are going to mesaure the density then day by day see which evaporates faster.

Research Question2

Our question is, What water would eveporate faster, salted water, sugared water, or kool-ade.
When we get the sugar, salt, and kool-aid the first thing we are gonna find the density. Then we are going to add the same amount of water and the substances into the beaker then day by day we are gonna see how much evaporates and see how the density affects the evaporation process.
