weekly blog (2/28/16) Atoms

     This week in class we learned about atoms. All atoms have electron(s), proton(s), and neutrons(every atom but hydrogen). The protons have a positive charge, the electrons have a negative charge, and the neutrons, of course, have a neutral charge. If an atom has more protons than neutrons, like this image, it is radioactive. This is a beryllium atom, number four in the periodic table, it is in the same family as radium. The periodic number is the number of protons.
     In class we did a project where we had to do a baby book of a certain atom, mine was ununseptium. The baby book was like those books where you write down the new born infants name, length, weight, and you show a picture of what the baby looks like.

     This  week in class we learned about the chemical properties of atoms and how they chemically react to each other. This image shows the periodic table of elements. Elements are substances with only one type of atom not a combination of atoms to make compounds. Compounds have certain mixtures of atoms. Elements do not have compounds, they have molecules which unlike compounds have only one type of atom. Water is has compounds. One compound has multiple molecules.

     Have you ever wondered what H2O Meant. The "H" stands for hydrogen. The "O" stand for oxygen. Finally the little "2" stands for the amount of hydrogen molecules. Since there is only one oxygen molecule there is no number for it. H2O, Water.

     If you see an element it will only say N (nitrogen) or I (iodine).

Weekly blog(2/7/16) Matter

 

      This week in class we about what matter is. Matter is almost anything that you can smell, feel, or see.

      All matter has mass and volume. Mass is how much matter is in something and volume is how big something is. For example, air has a very low amount of mass compare to it's volume. But ice has a quite large amount mass compared to volume. liquid is middle of them both.

weekly blog (2/1/16) States of Matter

 



     This week in science we learned about the states of matter. The states of matter are the different ways specific materials can be, depending on how warm or cold they are.

     The three states of matter are: Solid(has definite shape, color, mass, and volume), liquid(Has definite color, mass, and volume. But does not have definite shape), and gas (has no definite shape, color, mass(depending on heat), and volume). Those are the three states of matter.

weeklyblog (1/18/16) M&Ms

This week we got m&ms and put it in water then we watched the layers disappear.

The first layer was the colored shell then that dissolved into the white sugar layer then that dissolved into the chocolate, which was brown. this took about 2 minutes.

Project Blog (11/1/16) Weather broad cast

 

http://northamerica.mslgroup.com/network/conversations/2013/03/09/the-usgc-tornadoes-and-sxsw/

        In this project I learned a lot about tornados and droughts I learned that tornados are formed by winds of 5mph 1000ft above surface then 25mph winds 5000ft above ground then that forms a funnel cloud then once that touches the ground that forms a tornado.

       If I could do this project again I would speak louder in the films and put a voice over for the on the scene film about the tornado.

       Over all I think this project tuned out well.

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.
