Severe Weather Project Reflection

Summary: I learned tons from this game like how to manage my time better and that if I do than I can have more fun rather than rushing. I learned tons of facts like that rain can evaporate in the air before it hits the ground and that it can snow with clear skies. I learned what thundersnow is and I learned so much more.

Backward-Looking Reflection: I knew a little bit about the topic like the basic facts like what the severe weather does and what it is called. I now know so much more than I did before like a lot of the facts and more about them and I did not know most of the facts that I now know. For example I now know more about severe weather than I did before this project.

Inward-Looking Reflection: I liked the work of this week and our board game looks amazing but it was hard to do. I liked how we got to play the board game and that we got to have fun making it. I disliked how hard it was to make the board and the cards but it was fun overall. 


Outward-Looking: If I was the teacher I would give myself a good grade because I worked really hard on this so it to me is worth a good grade like at least 100%. That is my opinion of what I should get and I hope I do get at least 100%. I hope that I get all the points that I can gain and that I do not fail.

Forward-Looking: One thing I would like to improve on is managing my time better. I would like to do this so that I do not have to rush last minute to get my stuff done. I do hope I can do it so I do not stress about getting every little thing done.

Severe weather board game

I learned more about snowstorms for the board game cards that Ishita and I are planning. We have been trying very hard to gather information about severe weather. We split up the work to try to make it easier for the board game.

Backward looking: I knew about most severe weather but I did not know much about them. For example I knew about the names and the things that they do but not that many facts. I've heard of snow storms and I've been to Michigan where my Grandpa and Grandma live and have played in the snow but I have not experienced a major storm where we have lost electricity and how people have been stranded and died from hypothermia. 

Inward looking: I liked this week but some parts were not my favorite, for example I did like how we got to pick but I disliked that we had to write the daily papers. Another example is that it was hard to collect information and I liked other stuff like how we had the choice to partner. The last example is that I liked how we had resources for us to find info instead of searching for one and I disliked how you could only have a certain amount of partners.

5th Weather EdHEADS 12/08/14 Quiz corrections

How do weather patterns generally move across the United States?

I answered B. which is East to West but the correct answer is A: West to East. West to East is correct because of the jet stream. I found this information on    http://www.komonews.com/weather/faq/4347596.html  East to West is wrong because that is not the way that the wind patterns blow.

Can't find picture

To predict the weather, you do NOT need to know which of the following

First I answered C. To predict the weather, you do NOT need to know which of the following but the correct answer is D. the current phase of the moon. C. is not correct because if the temperature is high than it can not be much different from the day before. D. is correct because the moon has nothing to do with the temperature. 

Which of the following systems would most likely have the greatest amount of moisture associated with it?

First I answered B. but the correct is A. because the wind is coming from the ocean and it is supposed to rain. B. is wrong because H means it will be clear and sunny skies, clear and sunny skies mean that their is not much moisture.

Where in the diagram would the air pressure be the greatest?

I answered D. but the answer is A. because the most air pressure is at the bottom not the top. D is Wrong because it is the exact opposite of the correct answer.

12/5 water cycle

I learned about the water cycle and the parts of the water cycle especially after we watched the video. We also did the water cycle data game and made the story. 

Backward looking: Before I only knew a little about the topic for example, I only knew evaporate, condensate, and precipitate and their meanings. I also learned in 4th grade this song and hand motions. Here is the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw275056JtA please watch. 

Inward looking: I loved all that we did this week because it was a lot of fun. For example, I loved how we got to create the story of the water droplet on paper. It was fun to draw and color. It was also a lot of fun to figure out how to paste it with it in the folder. I did not dislike anything of the whole week it was all a lot of fun. 

Reflective of Mr. Cuttatree letter

We did a letter to Mr. Cuttatree and we learned about what will happen without the rainforests. We also learned how many trees he is cutting down and why.

Backward looking: I knew nothing about the topic before we started but now I know alot about it. For example now I know about deforestation and before I never heard of the word. I also learned about how important our rain forest is and that when people cut down trees it affects oxygen, animals, plants, and medicine for people.

Inward looking: I thought that it was satisfying that we got the time to do it on Monday and that we did not have to turn it in on Friday. I also liked the project and learned a lot, but it was a little hard at some points. I also found it satisfying that we got to write to Mr. Cuttatree and tell him what he is doing will affect us all including him.

Letter to Mr. Cuttatree

Dear Mr. Cuttatree, 

I heard that you are thinking about cutting down trees for the uppity resort. You should not do this because we all will lose so much stuff that is very important to our survival and environment. Some of the things we will lose are important animals, plants, and medicine. We will lose the beauty of the rain forest and no one will like the smell that will be caused by you cutting trees. It will affect the oxygen and we will lose our loved ones and we will all have a bigger chance to die. We will not have some important medicines that the rain forest provides.

Cutting down the trees will cause the loss of plants, animals and medicine. The animals are important to a lot of stuff like population and a lot more. The plants are needed for the humans and animals and some plants give us the food that we eat. The medicine helps us when we are sick and if it is not there we will have to suffer being sick and possible die. The trees will keep us alive because they breathe out oxygen and breath in carbon dioxide.

Building the resort will affect the food chain and food web. It will make an unhealthy population of animals and plants. It will cause some animals to become extinct and what it eats will overpopulate. If you build the resort, the animals that have not yet become extinct will have less food to eat. The thing that it eats will be eaten too fast and become extinct too which will cause animals to become extinct. 

Cutting the trees will make it so the plants can not make oxygen for us to breath. It will kill tons of people and then people will become extinct. It will kill every living thing that you can see and living things that you can't see. It will make it so even you die and no one will go to your resort. It will affect oxygen, people, animals and plants.

You and others like you will be the one that ends the world for everything. You should NOT build your resort because of all the things it will affect. You will affect the environment and we will never be able get it back. Your resort may be nice but it won't be once things start to smell and we don't have enough oxygen to breath. Think about all the things the rainforest provides!  
 

11/14 Deforestation

I learned that deforestation means to cut down trees or in other words destroy trees. I also learned that it will cause it to smell and it will make it so there's not much oxygen in the world.

Backward looking: I knew nothing about the topic before we started and I never heard the word "deforestation" before we started to learn about it in class. I also did not know that their is a man that is cutting down trees for a uppity resort. I did not learn anything about this in my old school. I have learned so much more at "Adventure" and a lot about deforestation now that we are studying it.

Inward looking: My goals were that I finished everything that I was/am assigned in class and at home. For example, I started my letter to Mr. Cuttatree and plan on finishing this on Monday. My goals did not change and I am still working on the goals that I set for this week. I so far met my goals and I think that I will continue to meet my goals in the future.

11/7 Jaguar

I learned that the jaguar is one of the biggest cats in the cat family. The jaguar is a wild cat and is a carnivore. It hunts at night while some or all of its prey are asleep and it sometimes hunts in the day. The jaguar sometimes sleeps on branches of the trees that are provided in the rainforest or near a bunch of trees to stay hidden and protected. It is way bigger than a house cat and it is pretty big compared to some wild cats.

Backward looking: I used some websites and I would want to use them all again. The resources that I used were good and none were bad. Here are a couple of the websites that I used and really liked a lot.  http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/jaguar/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar

Inward looking:  I liked how we got to pick our animal for the animal report. I liked it because sometimes we are assigned a certain animal and this time I got to choose what animal I wanted to research. I chose the Jaguar because it is in the cat family and I love all kinds of cats.  I also liked how we got to pick the name for the blog post.     

10/31 "Interdependence of Organisms - 2".

I learned that there is more than one kind of symbiosis and those are parisitsm, commensalism, and mutualism. I also learned the name and what symbiosis is and what it does. I also learned the nature and human versions of  symbiosis.

Backward looking: I only knew about fleas but I did not know the name like parasitism. I pretty much knew nothing about the subject until I watched the video in class. An example of symbiosis is that you allow us to improve our grade and I care about my grade so we are performing mutualism and hopefully we will both be happy with the details in my edited blog.

Inward looking: It tells me that when I work it helps to make a  flip project or a project or visual aid even if we have to turn it in. It helps me so I can visualize the project that we did. I visually learn and I learned that by doing the flip project it help me to remember symbiosis.   

10/24 "Interdependence of Organisms - 1"

I learned that plants, herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores are part of the food chain. I also learned that you need a certain amount of each part of the food chain or a species of animal can possibly become extinct and it would affect the whole food chain. I knew that we are at the top of the food chain because no animals eat us but we eat animals and plants but some of us eat only plants.

I only knew a little bit about the food chain and nothing about the food web. I found it satisfying  that you allow us to retake tests and quizzes. Thank you so much for letting whoever wants to retake the human body quiz. It is great to have teacher that always wants to see her students succeed.

Nervous System

Function: The function of the nervous system is to send messages from your brain to your body and from your body to your brain. This is why you can feel things.

Organs: 
nerves: Your nerves are what the signals travel on to get to your brain and to get from your brain. When you touch something the signal travels from your nerves to your brain and when your brain wants you to do something the signal travels from your nerves to do it.
brain: Your brain is a very important part of the nervous system. It is what tells your body to do things and the signal travels through the nerves and you do it. When you feel something the signal goes to your brain so that you can feel what you are touching.
spinal cord: Your spine is another important part of the nervous system. The spinal cord is what the nerves connect to and it tells your brain stuff and your brain tells your body stuff. When you break your spine you will most likely get paralyzed so you can move or feel what is paralyzed.

Other systems that the nervous system works with:
          The nervous system work with all of the systems because it tells everything what to do. The nervous system works with the urinary system to tell your brain when to pee. Your nervous system works with the muscular system to know when to move. The nervous system works with the skeletal system because some of your nerves are in or are part of your bones like how the spine has a very important nerve in it. The nervous system works with the respiratory system to allow you to breathe. The nervous system works with the immune system to tell it when you are sick. The nervous system works with the circulatory system to tell your heart to beat. The nervous system works with the digestive system to tell your brain when to start digesting and when you eat food.

Analogy:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Aiga_mail.svg/2000px-Aiga_mail.svg.png

The nervous system is like mail because:

• They both deliverer a message from one place to another
• They both tell whatever is on the other end something
• They both have have something this signal or the mail travels on like how the mail has roads and the nervous system has nerves.

The nervous system is like mail because they both have the goal of getting something from one place to another. They both tell something to something else. They both make it so that whatever is traveling or being deliver travels on something like how the mail has a road and how the nervous system has nerves.

Structure and Function: 

The main function of the brain is to tell your body everything it needs to do in order for you you to live. It also tells your body to move when you want it to move so that you can walk and you can move your arms. Your brain is made just for this.

1. The brain is as big as it is because if it was any smaller we may not be able to remember as much. We also would not be as smart as we are because if we did not have as much memory or as much storage then we couldn't remember things.

2. Your brain is in your head because it has lots of protection in the head because of the skull. The brain is also connected with your most important nerve which is your spine. your brain also need to be close to important parts of your body like your eyes, ears, mouth etc. because those signals need to get to your brain quick so you can react.

3. Your brain is shaped like it is because the different parts of your brain need to be able to fit together like how the brain stem has to connect to your spine and your cerebrum. Your corpus callosum need to be able to fit to connect the two halves of your brain. Your cerebellum needs to fit in the back of your brain.

Urinary System

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Urinary_system.gif

Function: The function of your urinary system is to get rid of liquid waste from your body. This liquid waste is water, salt and urea. Urea is a poising that is in your blood cells. 

Organs: 

Kidneys: The kidneys are shaped like beans and they work to filter the urea, unwanted salt and water out of your cells to make urine or pee.

Ureters: Your ureters are tubes that take the pee or urine from your kidneys and take it too the bladder. About every 15 seconds a little bit of urine drains into your bladder.

Bladder:  Your bladder is like a balloon that expands when it has lots of urine in it. When the bladder expands it tells your brain that you need to pee. 

Other systems:

        Your urinary system doesn't work on its own. Your urinary system works with your nervous system and your circulatory system. Your urinary system works with your nervous system because when your bladder is full and it expands your nervous system tells your brain that you have to use the restroom, pee or urinate. When you pee your brain tells your balder to contract and your sphincters (two ball shaped things that make sure your pee doesn't leak) to relax. Your circulatory system takes the blood to everywhere in your body including the kidney which filters the blood.

Analogy:

http://upload.ecvv.com/upload/Product/20098/China_plastic_garbage_bin_dustbin20098171501296.jpg

Your urinary system is like your trash because:

• You separate the recycle from the trash or the good from the bad.
• You throw away the trash or the bad (urine)
• They both have a place to throw the bad away (the sewer or toilet and the landfill)

The trash and the urinary system are similar in some ways. They both separate the waste from what you need or what is good for you. They throw away what ever they don't need and the poisons. Their goal is to throw away the bad which is the trash and the urine. They both have some place that they get rid of their waste like the landfill or the toilet/sewer.

Structure and Function:

          The main function of the bladder is to store all of the urine that comes from the kidneys. The bladder also gets rid of the urine once the bladder fills up. The bladder is made just to do this.

1. The bladder is made of stretchy material so that it can hold lots of urine. If the bladder was made of bone it would be very hard for you to hold your pee and it would make it harder to pee because the bladder squeezes the water out.

2. The bladder is close to where the urine comes out so that when you have to urinate your urine doesn't have to travel everywhere throughout your body. This also makes it a lot easier for you because if it was along tube or something else it would take longer for you to urinate.

3. Your bladder is as small as it is because if it was too big it would take up more room and it would be harder to get it full. If it was too small you would have to pee very often and it would make it very hard for you.

Skeletal System

Function:

        The function of the skeletal system is to give you support, allows you to move, gives you shape, and protects your organs. 

The skeletal system is made of:

Bones: Your bones are the main part of your skeletal system and they are the main support of your body. Your bones also store calcium that your body needs.

Ligaments: Ligaments are made of very tough tissue which connects your bones.

Tendons: Tendons are made of tough tissue too and they connect your bones to you muscles. 

Cartilage: Cartilage is like rubber that is between your bones that helps so your able to move your body.

Joints: Joints allow you to move easily and they are made of you bones, tendons and ligaments.

Other systems that work with the skeletal system:

        The skeletal system works with the muscular system in order for you to move. Your bones are supports you and makes you able to stand but,  your muscles give you the strength. Without your muscles, tendons and ligaments your body would be a pile of bones. Without your bones your body would not have any support. Your bones gives your body support and shape and you muscles allows your body to move and so you can control what you do.

Analogy: 

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/Beautiful_Post_and_Beam_Timber_Frame_Barn.JPG

A house frame and a skeleton both:

• the frame and your bones both provide support.
• they are both very important to what they make up as a whole. 
• They are both strong
• They both provide shape
• The both protect the inside of what they make.

        Your skeleton is like the house frame because they provide the shape, strength and the structure. They both are also very strong and they both are very important parts to something. Everything is connected with something like with bones it is tendons and ligaments and with a house frame it might be something like nails. They both have ways to move like how we have joints and houses have hinges like on doors.

Structure and Function: 

        The main function of your spine or your back bone is to give your support and to be able to hold the upper half of your body. Your spine was made just for this.

1. Your spine has lots of small bones called vertebrae that have cartilage between them to make your back able to move forward, backward and sideways.

2. Your spine makes it so that it is not painful to walk because  your spine has a curve which acts as shock absorption so that it doesn't hurt to move.

3. Your vertebrae made of hard bone tissue which makes them more supportive and it makes them harder to break or them get knocked out of place so you don't get paralized

Muscular System

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Skeletal_muscles_homo_sapiens.JPG

Function:  The function of the Muscular system is to allow your body to move easily. Your muscles allows most of your body parts to move like your fingers, toes, legs, arms, etc.

Organs: 

Smooth muscles: Your smooth muscles or involuntary muscles which are muscles that you can't control even if you wanted them to stop they would keep on going. 

Cardiac muscles: Your Cardiac muscles are also involuntary muscles or muscles that you can't move. Your cardiac muscles keep on pumping and it is found in the heart. 

Skeletal muscles: Your skeletal muscles or voluntary muscles work together and are attached to your bones and skeleton to move your body. You can control your skeletal muscles to do what you want them to do.

Other Systems:

        Your muscular systems works with 2 other systems. Those systems are the skeletal system dn the nervous system. The skeletal system works with the skeletal system in order to move. The skeleton and the muscles are actually connected. Your muscular system works with the nervous system works with the muscles because your nervous system tells your brain what to do so if there was no nervous system you would not move because your brain would not know you wanted to move. Your spine is a big part of your nervous system so when your spine breaks you might get paralyzed.

Analogy:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Nokota_Horses_cropped.jpg

Your muscular system is kind of like horses because:

• They usually stay together so that they are able to survive better and so that they won't be alone.
• They are both very strong and can carry lots of weight
• They are both able to get stronger so that they can do more than they could before.

Horses and your muscular system are like each other because they are both strong and they can both grow stronger to preform more tasks.  They both can carry lots of weight. They both usually work together so that they can do more and so that they can survive easier and they will never be alone.

Structure and Function:

Your skeletal muscle are the kind of muscle that you control so they are voluntary muscles. Your skeletal muscle is made uniquely to preform its functions.

1. Your skeletal muscle are connected to the bones or the skeleton so that your joints can move. Without them being connect you would not be able to move.

2. Your skeletal muscle is connected to the bones in pair so that you can move your joints back and fourth. If you could only move your muscles one way you could not do much.

3. Your smooth muscle is able to get stronger because you use it lots. This allows you to carry more and more weight as you lift more weights and as you get older.

Digestive System

Function: 

Your digestive systems function is to break down food and make it able for you to remove the solid or liquid waste from your  body. Your digestion process starts when you put the food in your mouth.

Organs: 

Mouth: The mouth is where the digestive process starts. The mouth chews up the food with mechanical digestion. Your spit in your mouth has enzymes that chemically break down the food. 

Esophagus: The esophagus brings the food from your mouth to your stomach. To make this easy your esophagus has mucus in it so that your food can run down your esophagus easily. 

Stomach: The stomach is were your food is churned and mixed with enzymes and other digestive juices. Your stomach breaks the food down into chyme.

Small intestines: The small intestines work to absorb the nutrients from your food. It also makes the chyme smoother and easier to be absorbed into your bloodstream. 

Large intestines: The large intestines work to absorb the water out of the chyme so that you stay hydrated  and don't get dehydrated.

Liver: The liver is important because the liver produces bile which is stored in the gall bladder and helps with digestion by breaking down fats or fatty acids. 

Pancreas: The pancreas is important because it makes enzymes or digestive juices that are released in the small intestines to help break down the food more.

Gall bladder: The gall bladder stores some stuff like bile and makes it more concentrated so that the bile can be more effective on the fats.

       Other systems the digestive system works with:  The Digestive system may do lots but it doesn't do it all alone. The digestive system works with the circulatory system. The digestive system breaks down your food and absorbs the nutrients but the circulatory system takes those nutrients and distributes them throughout the body. This is very good and important to the digestive system because what would your body do with those nutrients if the circulatory system didn't distribute them.

Analogy:

https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3289/2794936916_a3abf9aa18_b.jpg

Your digestive system is like a garbage disposal because:

1. Your digestive system and your garbage disposal both grind or chew up the food or other stuff that goes into the mouth or the garbage disposal.

2. After your food is chewed your digestive system has your tong push the grinned up food down the esophagus while your garbage disposal takes the grinned up stuff and put it down a pipe.

3. Your garbage disposals process starts when you put the food in the "mouth" of the garbage disposal while your digestive system starts when you put the food in your mouth.

Your teeth are similar to the grinders in the garbage disposal because they both grind up whatever it takes in. Your esophagus is like the pipes because they both carry the grinned up food or whatever away.  It is very important for both of these to get their food into small enough shape before swallowing because it could get clogged if the food or other stuff is too big. They are both start when you put to the food into the "mouth".

Structure and Function:

The main function of the esophagus is to carry away the food from your mouth into your stomach where it will be digested. The esophagus also is a tube for air so if your try to breathe and swallow your food at the same time you might choke. 

1. Your esophagus has mucus which allows the food to slide quickly and easily down your throat like a water slide. This is important because without the mucus swallowing might be pretty hard. 

2. Your esophagus is the same tube that you breathe with and your body controls which tube is open so if you try to breathe while you are swallowing you will most likely choke.

3. The size and shape of your esophagus make swallowing fast and more efficient. If your esophagus was curvy it would make it so that the food goes back and forth and it would not be as direct of a path so it would not be as quick. If it had loops it would make it very hard to swallow and you might get the loop clogged.

Respiratory System

                                            

Function: Your respiratory system lets you breath and gives you oxygen and lets you breath out carbon dioxide for you to survive.

Organs it uses:
lungs: The lungs are what holds the oxygen that you breathe in. When your blood comes to get oxygen and give carbon dioxide you have to breathe again.

trachea: The trachea is the tube that carries the air to your lung and from your lungs back to your nose and mouth.

diaphragm: Your diaphragm is there so that your lungs can rest on them and when you take a breath they contract and when you exhale they expand.

bronchial tubes: Your bronchial tubes are in the lungs and it carries the air to your alveoli.

alveoli: Your alveoli are small sacks at the end of your bronchial tubes, that are surrounded by blood vessels and the oxygen in the alveoli are given to the blood cells and the blood cells get rid of the waste (carbon dioxide).

Other systems:
          The respiratory doesn't work alone. The respiratory system works with the skeletal system and the cardiovascular system. The respiratory system works with the skeletal system to protect the lungs, the rib cage surrounds the lungs to protect them. Your respiratory system works with the cardiovascular system in order to give the blood its oxygen and get it's carbon dioxide. The blood gives the lungs the blood which helps the blood and makes it oxygen rich.

Analogy:

Your  fish tank and your fish tank filter are like your respiratory system because:

• They both get rid of the bad and they both give oxygen
• They both have a pump like how the respiratory system has your heart and your fish tank filter has a pump in the filter.
• The water is like your blood and the fish are like your cells that need oxygen

Your fish tank and filter and your respiratory system are similar because they they both have the function of getting rid of the bad stuff in the water and giving the water oxygen. They both have a pump like how the respiratory system has the heart and the filter has a pump. They both have something that is like the blood and the cells like for the respiratory system your have blood and cells and for the filter you have water an fish.

Structure and function:

The main function of the lungs are to give your blood the oxygen that it needs and to take the waste which is the carbon dioxide in the blood. The lungs are made just to do this.

1. The lungs are as large as they are because they need to hold lots of air so that all of your blood can get oxygen. If the lungs were smaller you would have to breathe a lot more often. If the lungs were any bigger they would take up too much space.
2. The lungs are where they are because they need to be able to work with the heart which gives the lungs the bad blood. The lungs also need to be close to the mouth and they need to be protected by the rib cage.
3. The  lungs are shaped like they are so that they can fit well in your body and so that they can hold the most air. They lungs also need to be able to rest on the diaphragm. The lungs need to be able to expand and contract easily.

Circulatory System

Function:
The function of the circulatory system in to move the blood in your body form your heart and back to your heart. The circulatory system also delivers oxygen to your blood cells and removes waste.

Organs:
heart: The heart works hard to push oxygen rich blood throughout your body. Your heart also works to get the oxygen poor blood back to it to got through the lungs for more oxygen.
veins: Your veins carry poor blood back to your heart and lungs for more oxygen so that it can become rich blood.
arteries: Your arteries carry your rich blood throughout your body. They carry the blood to everywhere in your body. 
lungs: When you breathe oxygen goes to your lungs where your blood cells drop of carbon dioxide and get oxygen.

Other systems: 
        Your circulatory system works with every other system because the circulatory system gives blood to every organ in the body. If you did not have your circulatory system nothing would work.  All of your systems need blood because they give your body oxygen and other nutrients.  All of your organs need oxygen and nutrients and your blood transports oxygen and nutrients. All of your organs and organ systems need your circulatory system.
Analogy: 

The circulatory system is like the roads because:

• You can go almost everywhere in the city and your blood goes everywhere through your body.
• They can take you to and away from places
• when you go you are going usually to get something and then you go

Your veins and arteries are like the roads because they take you places and they take you back. Your lungs are like the stores because you get stuff you need there. You, your car or another way of transport are like cells because you go through or you travel with the roads or highways or your veins and arteries.

Structure and Function:
Your lungs main function is to store the oxygen that you breathe so that your blood can get the oxygen. This a very important thing for your body.
1. You having two lungs makes it faster for your blood to switch the oxygen and the carbon dioxide. It makes it so that giving your blood oxygen is way more efficient.
2. Your lungs are not very large but they are able to hold lots of air. This is important because if your lungs were any small er you would have to breathe a lot more and it would be harder for your body to do this.
3.Your lungs are close to your heart which makes it so that when your heart is giving the blood to your lungs it is fast. If your lungs and heart were too far apart from each other they would not be able to give your blood to each other.

09/26 "Organelle Traill"

I have learned that the vacuole looks like a bubble and that it holds water, food, and toxic waste. I have also learned that in plants there is one big vacuole and in animals it has multiple small vacuoles.

Before we did this I knew nothing about vacuoles or maybe even nothing about cells. Now I know so much more than I did before  about cells and vacuoles. I can not belive how much more this class has taught me . I have learned way more than I would have at my old school. Thank you Ms. Garcia!

09/19 ''The cell''

             

               I learned that inside of a cell it sort of looks like a town or city and some stuff looks like people walking or passing stuff to each other. I also learned that anything living or used to be living is made of cells and that cells and everything is made of atoms even the air.



              I only knew the word cell and how it is inside of me. I didn't know that it is living and only in living or used to be living objects like wood. I also didn't know that everything is made of atoms like the air and how cells are made of atoms.

Letter to the school board

      Science classes should not disappear because science teaches us a lot we don't know by our self. Science is also fun to some people, so science should stay forever. Science is also important because when we do projects it usually teaches us stuff we don't know about yet and we learn a lot from science.

     Science is in included in almost every subject that we do. Science helps us develop new products and science is in math, language and P.E. etc. Science is in math because it helps answer almost all the problems because it uses our mind, uses knowledge and science is knowledge.

     Science is in our everyday life. Science helps us answer questions about our surroundings and tells us where to go and when to do stuff. Science helps us understand when to believe somebody. Science helps us know what the weather will be.

      Science is logic of what to do. Science helps us  know what to do and to eat. If we didn't have science then we would probably be sick or dead because there would be no cure for anything. There would be no sweets made ever.

      Some believe that we don't need science. They say that we already know all we need to know about science. We actually do not know all there is to know about science. Not even the best scientist know all about science.

       And that is why we should keep science I have given you so many reasons why to keep science but I want to say one more reason we are using science... to cure diseases  like cancer.

    

welcome

Things I like about Adventure: I like how we go from class to class and how we have ten minute bells. I also like  how we use computers and how we work together as a team. I like that I'm meeting new people and making new friends.
