The End of the Year

1. My favorite Geology topic was the rock cycle. It was my favorite because it was easy to grasp and easy to understand.

2. My favorite Meteorology topic was water in the atmosphere. I liked this one because it reviews some of the things that I already knew and I learned new things.

3. My favorite Astronomy topic was the Solar System. I like learning about the Solar System because I got to add on to my previous knowledge.

I can't really predict an exact grade for the exam, but I'm pretty confident that I made a pretty high B. I looked over my book and my notes. I wish I would've done my crossword puzzles.

Wordle.

Mars(:

1. The primary gas in the Jovian atmospheres is Hydrogen.

2. The primary gas in Mars and Venus is Carbon Dioxide.

3. If I could visit any other planet, I would visit Mars. Mars may conatain water if we find it somewhere, because there are traces of it in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is much different than Earth's, with Carbon Dioxide being the biggest atmosphereic gas. It may not be good for me to go to a planet that doesn't have Oxygen, but if I could go it would be pretty cool. I'd like to go to see if I can find Martians.

I think my best post was the Wordle Words. It gave me a chance to be creative and memorize vocabulary words at the same time. I enjoyed learning most about chapter was the different atmospheric layers because I grasped it the easiest and I enjoyed learning about what was in each oone and what happened in each one. I believe I deserve a 95% on my blogs this quarter because I did them all and turned them in on time. I tried my best when I sat down and looked back over them.

1. Tree pollen is affecting us the most right now. The most active tree causing all of our allergy issues is Oak.
2. The flowering season, and dry windy weather make the perfect storm.
3. 11Asteraceae looks the best to me because it reminds me of a monster from Monster's Inc. It's commonly found on daisies.

Asteraceae pollen is the fourth largest of the pollen families. Most of it is found on shrubs or mini-shrubs. The way to most clearly recognize it is its inflourecence. Dahlias, zinnias, chrysanthemums, asters, cosmos, and daisies are just a few of the garden plants that you can find this pollen on.

1. The 5 states of matter are: solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates.



2. The change a gas into a plasma you need to add heat or energy to it.



3. Kelvin- 0.

-459.47 degrees Farenheit

-273.15 degrees Celsius

4. The temperature in space is 3 Kelvin.



5. From what I've seen, plasma would look like one of those electricity balls you see at the store. When you put your finger on it all of the energy moves to that direction. It would taste spicy and gross. It would be could and smell like cotton candy. Thats how plasma would smell in my opinion.

1. The school plans to utilize gemothermal air conditioning, rainwater collections and solar photovoltaic power systems.



2. Solar photovoltaic power systems means using solar power and panels.

Geothermal a/c means that there are pipes underground with water and antifreeze. When it's cold outside it will warm up the school, when it is hot, it will cool the school off. Rainwater collection means collecting any precipitation that falls and reusing it to prevent wasting water.



3. I chose conservation and biodiversity.



4. One big problem is pollution and lack of energy resources.



5. There are many things I can do to help with this problem. One thing I can do is reduce my pollution that I contribute to the Earth's heating. You can also conserve energy. Turning off your t.v., unplugging your charger, and turning off your computer when your not using it are also some ways to conserve energy. Although it's expensive, using solar photovotaic can help with the conservation problem

1. I chose hurricane Opal.

2.It was a category 4, but weakened to a categoery 3.

3.Its was first spotted as a tropical wave on Septembe 11, 1995. It moved into the Atlantic and the Caribbean and combined with a low pressure system on September 23. Florida reported winds of 84 mph and winds at 74 mph going as far as Georgia. The main impact from Opal came from the storm surge. The surge was responsible for most of the $3 billion in damage. Opal caused 9 deaths, 8 from falling trees and one from tornado. Opal was also responsible for 50 deaths in Mexico and Guatemala due to flooding.

4. 9 deaths in America, 50 in Mexico and Guatemala. $3 billion in damage.

1. I think my best blog was the wordle words one, because it was the most creative and helped me remember vocabulary words along with words that I can associate them with.

2.I believe I deserve at least a 95% on my blogs, because I attempted each one and completed them to the best of my ability.

3. My favorite chapter of the second quarter was chapter 17; The Atmosphere: Structure and Temperature. I liked this chapter because I've always been interested in the atmosphere and the weather and how all of that works together. I enjoyed learning about the different spheres in the atmosphere. I wasn't aware that out of the whole atmosophere, I only lived in an itty bitty portion called the troposphere. When we learned about the Earth and the Sun, it interested me to find out that the Earth spins on its axis and as it spins, the seasons change. Overall, chapter 17 was just an interesting chapter for me.

1. Chinese Earthquake: Giant Pandas Rescued; Richard Alleyne

2.Hundreds of giant pandas had to be rescued as the Chinese Earthquake devastated their breeding grounds, it has emerged. (not sure where the thesis is, or if this is it)

3. Yes I do, because the whole article is about the pandas and saving them because of the earthquake.

1. Madame C.J. Walker- Inventor
-developed a conditioner for straightnening hair.

2.

• Cellular Phone - Henry Sampson
• Rollercoaster - Granville T. Woods
• Golf Tee - George F. Grant

3. I chose Dr. Charles Drew. He discovered techniques to store blood and developed blood banks. Now people can donate blood and get blood when they need it.

1. When Pangaea formed, all of the continents were somehow connected and touching. During Rodinia, not all of the conitinents were together.
They were similar because they were both huge landmasses.

2.To me, the one that looks the fastest moving was 500 million years ago.

3.If the world looked like Pangaea today, sports teams would be more integrated and the government would have more land to look after, instead of them just handling the US.

4. I would choose to build a modern civilization in Kolyma Block, present northeastern Siberia. I chose there because it is on the water, but still connected to the rest of Pangaea, so the knowledge can spread across the land.

1. The deepest mine in the world is 6.3 kilometers deep.

2.You have have to dig about 35 kilometers down to reach the mantle.

3. If I somehow reached the mantle, it would be extremely hot liquid. If I got to the outer core, it would also be very hot and liquid. Going down into the inner core, it would still be hot, but not liquid, it would be solid. Getting to the crust, it would start cooling off a bit as we made our way up. We'd have to go through packed clay and rock. When we reached the top, depending where you are, there would be mountains on the surface, it would be flat, or you'd come up in the ocean.

One sedimentary rock that I use everyday is is rock salt. I use rock salt almost every night at dinner. One igneous rock that I use everyday is granite. I use it when I'm at home and put something on my countertop. A metamorphic rock that I use everyday is slate. Slate is on top of my house and protects the house from wind and rain.

This is eclogite. It is a metamorphic rock.

If my parents had to buy a new 2010 car, I would recommend that they buy a new Honda Accord Coupe. At almost $23,ooo, the price for the car isn't that bad, and it is one of the cheapest cars I researched. The city MPG is 22 and the highway MPG is 31. To me, that is pretty good and it will get your car pretty far. The average MPG IS 26.5. So, if I had to recommend any car to my parents to bu, I would recommend the new Honda Accord Coupe.

Diamond is a mineral that I've used before. I wear it in my jewelry. I've used sand to build sand castles at the beach. Silver is another mineral that I wear in my jewelry. Cement is what my driveway is made of. I use copper and nickel when I use pennies and nickels. I also use coal when I grill.

My favorite map projection is the Robinson map projection. I like this map projection because, to me, it is the easiest to read. If I ever need to use a map, that would be the one because it shows me the correct shapes, distances, and sizes of places.

Meteorology is the most interesting science to me. It's the most interesting to me because I like to know about the weather so I can be prepared.
