Atmosphere

http://www.keywordpicture.com/keyword/diagram%20of%20atmosphere/

 

     The atmosphere has four layers. The first layer is the troposphere is where we live, where all the weather appears and is visible from space, and where airplanes fly. Then the second layer is the stratosphere which has low levels of oxygen, only the lowest bit of it is visible from space, it starts at an altitude of 10 kilometers above sea level, it is where weather balloons fly, it is home to the ozone, and it gets warmer the farther you go up. The third layer is the Mesosphere (Meso = Middle) there is not much known about this layer, it is to high for weather balloons and too low for satellites but gets colder the farther you go up. The final/fourth layer is the thermosphere and the farther you go up the hotter it gets, it goes up to 70 degrees Celsius. The Thermosphere is split up into 2 parts, the Ionosphere and the Exosphere the Ionosphere is home to the northern lights and why radio waves through satellite is possible, the exosphere is where space stations are stationed and where the atmosphere merges into space.

weekly blog (11/8/15) Photosysthesis

 

Photosynthesis

 https://sites.google.com/site/vsenvironmentalsciencesystems/2the-ecosystem/photosynthesis

    This week in class we learned about photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is how plants get there food.

      They make food by taking in sunlight, nutrients from soil, water, and carbon dioxide. Then the plants turn all that into oxygen and sugar. Then the plant eats the sugar in produces oxygen for us to breath. From the air the leafs take 6 molecules of water (6H2O) and 6 molecules of carbon (6CO2) and out of that makes 6 molecules of sugar (C6H12O6) and 2 molecules of oxygen (O2). That is how plants get food

Presentation Ethics

http://bookboon.com/blog/2012/11/4-presentation-opening-ideas-that-work/

 

 

     This week, in class, I learned about presentation ethics. You should never talk while others people are presenting, always have eye contact with the audience, practice your presentation before you present (not while you are presenting), know what you are talking about, and never stand completely still (it makes you look nervous). These are some presentation ethics I learned.

Project blog (10/21/15)

                                                          http://www.investinlibya.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Endocrine-system-liver.jpg

    In this project we learned about a certain body system and my group learned about the endocrine system. I learned a lot about the endocrine system including that adrenaline is a hormone.
      I did not even know what the endocrine system was until this project but I did know the  reproductive system was and I knew the answer to the question "how are babies made" .
      I think we did a pretty good job on project. I liked that we got a lot done in eight class periods because to me eight periods is not a very long, but I regret choosing the system that we did because.
      I would probably give this project an A- because we put a lot of hard work into the project but as I look back at the project it does not seem quite complete.
      If I could do this project again I would try to fit in more research than we could fit in for this project now.

The Endocrine System

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/endocrine-system-facts.html

 

      This week in class my group and I learned about the endocrine system, the endocrine system is the system that controls the hormones like the growth hormone and adrenaline. The whole system is controlled by one gland, the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is about the size of a pea. Without the endocrine system you would not be able to grow





Weekly blog 10/2/15 (The cardiovascular system)

The Cardiovascular System

http://blm1128.blogspot.com/2011/04/objective-16-outline-path-of-blood-flow.html

    This week we learned about the Cardiovascular System is class. The Cardiovascular System also known as the Circulatory System is your heart and circulation of blood, that is why is it either called the cardiovascular OR the circulatory system. Because the system circulates blood, it can be called the circulation, see how both words have the word circul in them? it's not really a word but it stands for circle because the blood goes in circles. It can also be called the Cardiovascular system because every time you hear the word cardio, you know it has something to do with the heart.

     It takes approximately half a minute for a single blood cell to circulate around the body. The rout of the blood is, oxygen poor blood comes into the heart through the interior vena cava and the superior vena cava which join into one to enter the heart then get pumped out through the pulmonary artery which absorbs O2 from the lungs the goes back to the heart through to pulmonary vein to get pumped into either the caroid artery to go to the head or arms then as O2 poor blood goes down the jugular vein which turns into the superior vena cava, or instead of going up the Caroid artery it goes down the Aorta which could feed into the mesenteric arteries witch feeds the digestive track and liver and goes back to the heart in the hepatic vein as O2 poor blood which feeds in to the interior vena cava, or the aorta keeps going straight where it could feed into the renal artery which gives O2 to the kidneys which feed the O2 poor blood into the renal vein which also feeds into the interior vena cava. Or the Aorta could keep going straight into the trunk and legs as the iliac artery still O2 rich blood then leaves the trunk and legs as O2 poor blood and through to the iliac vein which feeds into the interior vena cava. 

9/26/15 weekly blog (Lysosomes)

 

Lysosomes

         This week in science class I learned about lysosomes. The lysosomes are like trash picker-upers. The lysosome float around and digest all the dead organelles and particles. The lysosome is made up of a membrane and digestive enzymes. Many scientists wonder about how the lysosome does not digest it's self or the whole cell.

  Cells 

       Cells are tiny building blocks almost. Cells are the foundation of all living organisms. An average person has about 100Trillion cells in their body. There are two main types of cells in this world. Plant cells and Animal cells. Animal cells are used to build animals/non stationary organisms. Plant cells are used to build plants/stationary organisms.

         Yesterday in science we learned about the ACE strategy. ACE stands for Answer questions completely and truthfully, Cite by explaining or proving how you know the answer, Explain by extending your response by EXPLAINING the information that you cited and the answer or make it clear that you know the answer using the evidence.
 

8/25/15 Weekly Blog

        Yesterday I learned that I will be using more than 5 websites at adventure. I also learned how to check class points on Power my Learning.org and Miss J's website. I am very exited for this this school year, I think this will be very fun school year.
