Weekly blog 4/4 - 8/16



Summary: 
Nike sneakers fell into the ocean and have been carried all over the place by ocean currents. Ocean currents are mostly or all caused by wind. Waste in the ocean spreads all around the ocean and pollutes the ocean. The waste spreads spreads faster because of ocean currents. Wastes collides and takes over lots of the ocean and most of the pollution starts on land.


S&EP:Developing and using models: Did you build a model, draw a picture, created a concept map, etc?
This week made a model of the ocean and toxic waste. We first filled a tub with water, then we added to rocks as land. Then we added ice. We got 4 colored food colorings and added 4 drops of each except for the yellow we added 8 drops. We observed which of the colors spreaded the most. My team and I observed that the yellow spread the most out of all the colors. We also observed that the colors did not collide until we blew some wind through the straws. We noticed that the color blue spread away from the ice. We also noticed that the green took over.
