1.What I enjoyed most of this project was making the video in animoto.
2.The most challenging part of this project was guessing the name of the minerals.
3.The new skill that I learned from this project was making videos.
4.I think my project was good and I wouldn't change anything about this.

So now watch my video and enjoy it!

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.

Geologic time- Paleogene time

SUMMARY

The paleogene time was 65-24 million years ago. The Earth landmasses looked like more oval. This period was broken in three times; Oliocene (38-24 mya), Eocene (54-38 mya) and paleocene (65-54mya)

In this time, many new mammals were discover. Like ( pigs, deer, cats, rhinos, tapirs appear. And grasss common.

PROJECTION REFLECTION:

What did you enjoy most about this project?

I enjoyed most in this project, work with a partner  and share new ideas together.

What was most challenging about this project? why?

the most challenging about this project was to find the important events in million of year, because this time was long time ago.

What you change about this project and why?

I changed the movie that I made and I added more pictures to my video.

What are 3 things that you learned from this project?

The first thing that I learned from this project was that this happened 65-24 million years ago.

Other thing is that many important events happened in this time, like the new mammals were create and a insect population was growing.

And a very important events was that the Oligocere Australia separated from Antartica, and India crashes    

into Asia creating the Himalayan mountains. 

Life of a Star

What is a star?
I s a sphere made of hot gas.

Types of stars:
-Giant stars
-Supergiant stars
-Main sequence stars
-White dwarfs stars


What is a H-R diagram?
Is a graphical tool that astronomers  use to classify stars according to their luminosity, spectral type, color, temperature and evolutionary stage.

What is nuclear fusion?
Is the process by which two or more atomic nuclei join together, or "fuse", to form a single heavier nucleus.

The life cycle of a star:
From its formation in a nebula, to its death as a white dwarf or neutron star.
NEBULAA nebula is a cloud of gas (hydrogen) and dust in space.

STAR

Is a sphere made of gas.
RED GIANTThis is a large bright star with a cool surface.

RED DWARF
These are very cool, faint and small stars, approximately one tenth the mass and diameter of the Sun.
WHITE DWARFThis is very small, hot star, the last stage in the life cycle of a star like the Sun.

SUPERNOVA
This is the explosive death of a star, and often results in the star obtaining the brightness of 100 million suns for a short time.

NEUTRON STARS
These stars are composed mainly of neutrons and are produced when a supernova explodes, forcing the protons and electrons to combine to produce a neutron star. 
BLACK HOLESBlack holes are believed to form from massive stars at the end of their life times.

Earth Planet

           This planet is the third one from the sun, the distance from the sun is 149,597,870.7km and the mass is 5.97428*10^{24 .}The diameter of the earth is 12756.2km , the rotation is about 24 hours and the revolution is 1 year, in this plant is only 1 moon and this is a terrestrial planet.


             The planet is home to millions of species, including humans. Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful solar radiation, permitting life on land.


              This planet has plate tectonics that keep the planet comfortable, this is the crust of the earth broken up into regions. The 70% of the earth's surface is covered in water. Earth is almost a sphere, the Earth atmosphere extends out to 10,000km.

Hurricane Irene project

 Critical Thinking:

1. What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
The water temperature change to warm water in the ocean.

2. Why would there be more damage to an area during high tide?
Because with the high tides the precipitation can get higher and can make floods and ground water, that will causes more damages in the environment.


3. If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
This will be more dangerous because the water will become stagnant in that place and many people can die with the big flooding that will cause.


4. Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
Because the water will be become stagnant in that area and will cause a big flood.
