Mineral ID Lab

Mineral Properties
         In this lab, I learn about the Mineral A, B, C, D and E.In this 5 mineral was different, has metallic or nonmetallic, streak, hardness and cleavage. These mineral are have different to use.


1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
-I enjoy this project of experiment, because in this project let me know about mineral are have different to use.

2. What was most challenging for you during this project?
-During this project most challenging was hypothesis and properties. Because I don't know anything about mineral, so just guess it.

3. What new skill did you learn from doing this project?
-I learn a new skill from this project was how did can know about the mineral, like streak, hardness and cleavage.

4.Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of you work? Explain.
-I will find more information and ask other people something I don't know or something I doing wrong.

Shaking Our World

Mini-Posters


Theory of plate tectionics-the upper layer plates in overtime at exchange.
Tectonic plates-the crust at drift.
Convection currents-when the gas went to mantle then make temperature change.
Normal-make rocks moving down.
Reverse-make rocks moving up.
Strike slip-the rocks lip different way.
Continental drift-the land moving at ocean.
Creator-Abraham Ortelius
Pangaea-all plates was together.

Model

           Normal faults, occur when the rocks above the fault plane move down relative to the rocks below it, puling the rock apart. When there is compression and folding, such as in mountainous regions, the rocks above the plane move upward relative to the rocks below the plane, this call reverse faults. strik-slip faults occur when shearing stress causes rock on either side of the crack to slide parallel to the fault plane between them.

Prediction Map
Convergent
Movement: The plates push together.
Effects: Mountain
Divergent
Movement: The pltes move to the different way.
Effects: Ridges
Transform
Movement: The pltes moving back and front.
Effects: Earthquake.
Hot spot
Movement: Apart is hottest.
Effects: Island and mountain.

Photographic Evidence
Convergnet Boundary
  • Convection drift under the continental
  • When the plates move together, will become the mountain.
Subduction Zone
  • Convergent Boundary
  • The plate goes under another plates.
Divergent Boundary
  • Convection drift under the continental.
  • Make two plates move to different way, both the plates would have a ridges.
Transform Boundary
  • Convection drift under the continental.
  • The plates moving back and front, make it earthquake.

Fault Zone
  • Earthquake & tectonic plate Boundaries.
  • Normal, Reverse and stick slip.
Earthquake
  • The curst moving under the continental.
  • The curst moving make continental drift.
Tsunami
  • The earthquake happen under the ocean.
  • Earthquake.
Hot spots
  • The magma is long time in a same location.
  • Island and mountain.

Season



Vocabulary
Axis- Imaginary line through the middle of Earth.
Tilt- 23.5°.
Equator- Imaginary line drawn on the Earth and spaced equally between the North and South.
Hemisphere- north and south.
Revolution- earth movement around the sun.
Rotation- the Earth spins on axis.
Orbit- around the line of the sun.
Polaris- Earth's axis always points at important star.

Summary
          The seasons have spring, summer, fall and winter. The axis at 23.5° of tilt, the Earth revolved the orbit around the sun one time has 365 days or 1year, and the Earth rotated one time are 24 hours. Equator was Earth and spaced equally between the direct sunlight and indirect sunlight. Earth's axis always points at Polaris.

How is Earth affected by movement (revolution)?
-The Earth movement around the sun affects the seasons change spring, summer, fall and winter. And change the day and night.

1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
-I enjoy this project talk about the date of the seasons.

2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
-During this project most challenging is direct and indirect sunlight.

3. What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
-I learn from this project is about the summer and winter is , spring and fall is equinox.

4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain
-Yes. Because I want to do better the video and other worked.

Geologic Time-Ordovician


         The ordovician period at 500 million years ago to 435 million years ago. In this period has lots filter fead animal increase. These indeed sea mats, sea lilies, brachiopods, molluscs and grptolites.

Reflection
1. What did you enjoy most about this project?
-I enjoy this project can making the video.

2.What was most challenging about this project? Why?
-Most challenging is find to the information. Because I find long time ago, and ask much time other people.

3.What you change about this project and why?
-I want to change the answer be better. Because I think my answer not great.

4. What are 3 things that you learned from this project?
-What ordovician animal have. Example: Trilobite, Graptolites and conodont.
-The ordovician period is at 500- 435 million years ago.
- I learned what happen during the Ordovician period. Example: The rise of the cphalopods; The sea level to drop and the climate to change.

The Stars

1. What is a star?
-The stars are a large body of hot gas. we see it so small, because the stars at long way away. The star bore giant clouds of dust and gas. The stars can shrink, because it has gravity, made everything into meddle of nuclear reactions.
2. Type of stars?
-The stars have many different type, had color, temperature and luminosity. have 5 different color, Blue, White, Yellow, Orange and Red. The temperature has high and low. The luminosity has dim and bright. And other type is Supergiant, Giants, White Dwarfs and Main Sequence Stars.
3. H-R diagram?
 -A graphical tool that astronomers use to classify stars according to their luminosity, spectral type, color, temperature and evolutionary stage.
4. Nuclear fusion?
-The nuclear reactions inside a star change two hydrogen gas molecules into a helium molecule. This process is known as nuclear fusion. This is how a star makes energy.

5. The life cycle of a star?
-The stars made in giant clouds of dust and gas. All stars come from a stellar nebula. As sun-like: sun-like stars, red giant, planetary nebula, white dwarf then black dwark.

Hurricane Irene project

Critical Thinking


1.What is a hurricane?
-The winds and the lots rain together rotate.

2.What is a high tide and what causes it?
-The water increase more at high local. The tide causes is the movement of the earth oceans is due to the moon revolving. Ground the earth and also gravity.

3.What does saturation (zone) mean?
-Right aove the water table.

4.What is flooding and why is it dangerous?
-Water come's out and over the under land. Damage trees and house, so people will leave, and make the plant death. because the water over at plants long time.

Reflection
1.What is something that you liked about this Mini-project?
-I like this Mini-Project about I learn lot new about the hurricane and the new vocabulary. because I never know that.

2.What was difficult for you on this project?
-This project difficult place was a lot new vocabulary don't know.

3What would you change about your work on this project?
-I would change my work be better and the vocabulary.

4.How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irence?
-I learn what is a Hurricane, Water cycle, Tide and Flooding. It's have big effects to environment.
