Discovering The Land

 The topic that I presented was Volcanoes. I made a video, mini posters and foldables.
What is a volcano?
Is a rupture in the crust of the Earth.
types of volcanoes are:
Shield volcano                                                                             Composite volcano:

                              
 
Fissure volcano:                                                                         Cinder cone:
    

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION:
Do you agree with the theory  of plate tectonics? why or why not?
I agree with this theory because the continents now are separate and they are formed and nothing of this can be possible with out the movements of the plate tectonics.
Pangaea is one support evidence of this theory.

REFLECTION:
What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
working in new groups with new people shearing ideas and learning new stuff about the earth.
What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
make the video with my group, it take us so long and we don't finish it yet.
What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
working together as a group.
Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work?
work extra time to finish my work on time.

TIDES

Tides 
Native Language: Mareas
Definition: The alternate rising and falling of the sea, usually twice in each lunar day at a particular place, due to the 

attraction of the moon.

Summary: Tides are affecting the earth because it change the water level of the earth. They are two types of tides, Spring tide and Neap tide. In Spring tide the water level is highest and lowest, and in Neap tide the water level is equal. Tides are caused by gravity and lunar revolution.
Video:


Critical thinking question: How is earth affected by movement (revolution)?
The revolution affected the earth causing the seasons. Is the change of the climate winter, summer, fall and spring, the tides in the earth the water levels and the phases of the moon all this process its dependent of the revolution and rotation and also affected the life of organisms in the earth.






Reflection
What did you enjoy most about this project and why? I think I enjoyed when my group and I were making the video and the animation, it was funny.


What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
I think the most challenging for me during this project was work with some people that was absent  many days, and that made take us more time to finish our work.


What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I learned how to work in groups and how to be more creative.


Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work?
I think the group work have to be done on time and be clear with the work that they did, and have a good communication with the members of your group.
