my FINAL days... as aa freshmen.--


1. My favorite geology topic was when I learned about the layers that earth consists of. My 8th grade year I though it was just the: crust, mantle, inner and outer core. Then I learned there was the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and the Moho. I learned that the Moho was the boundary between the crust and the mantle. I also learned that the lithosphere contains the tectonic plates and is found in the upper mantle and the entire crust. And how the asthenosphere is the upper mantle. I learned a lot about earth that I didn't know before. Guess that goes to show you that you never really know something.

2. My favorite topic for meteorology had to be when we made our own photo story on the city of our choice. We described the weather how it was going to effect them, we even had to show a picture of the national forecast which very interesting. It was fun, and different. Even though I didn't get the best grade on it, I still liked that it wasn't what I was expecting and that it was a different way to teach things. Good job!

3. My favorite astronomy topic was the planets. Because I learned a lot more than- my very eager mother just served us nine pies- I learned that every Jovian planet has rings, and that word JOVIAN I didn't know that word even existed. I learned that Mars has a volcano named Olympus Mons, and I learned that one of Saturn's moons is named Titan. I just learned so much about space that I didn't even think twice about before.

4. I think I got at least an A on the final, hopefully. In order to prepare I study the practice test, I study all the notes I could find, and there was a lot of them , and I study the crosswords and some information out of the book. I think I could have study a lot more when we learned about the topic earlier in the year so then when it came down to the final I wouldn't have to study so hard and so long. But other than that I think I did good with the studying and preparing myself for the final.

-- Who, what, when, where, why, +& how.??

1. No one knows what made the Big Bang theory, actually 'bang'. All any of the scientist know is that when it happened, they have yet to find any evidence to support the what made it 'bang'. But some information to support it is the Hubble Law, and basically while the universe was in that little size ball of mass it started to expand and get bigger and bigger to the point where it couldn't stay so small any more.

2. I think if I were to go into a black whole, I would be gone for ever. I would dissolve into small gas particles and just become a part of the black whole that I was sucked into.

**Extrasolar planets-- Exoplanets~


1. Radial velocity, astrometry, transit method, optical detection.

2. Astrometry makes the most sense to me, because they can measure's a star's movement and deduct that from the total mass.

3. The Goldilocks zone is when a planet is a reasonable distance from its home star where it's surface doesn't get too cold or too hot. Which leads people to believe liquid water may exist on that planet.

4. I think the life would be far different than ours because it's immune to different things, so what ever is most common on that planet is what they're going to be use to. I think they're going to be a lot smaller than humans, a lot uglier, and far more advanced than we are. To me they would be said to be smart, because if they do exist, they sure did keep there existence secret for a long period of time. Which is far more than we, as humans, could say about our existence.

5. I do believe in aliens, I just think they're are smarter than humans. Because if aliens do exist than they've been able to keep they're identity secret from humans, who claim to be the smartest species to ever step on earth. Imagine if aliens could prove them wrong! Another reason I think we never see aliens is because they know the human race will want to experiment on them, ask them constant questions, try to learn they're language and ask them about the planet they came from. Even a smart alien would could tired of being examined like a new animal or unique plant. Alien are just plain GENIUSES.

1. The primary gas in the Jovian planets is hydrogen.
2. The primary gas in Mars and Venus is carbon dioxide.
3. If I could visit a planet is would be Mars. I want visit Mars because I think it would be cool to explore the volcano Olympus Mons. Because of how big it is said to be. Especially if it is the size of Ohio and extremely tall. I don't know if it would be possible for me to visit Mars, but I think it would be highly likely because Mars is mostly made of carbon dioxide.

Muh 5 choices; before thee REAL project-! ; *

1. Pluto is the ninth planet in the solar system, it is neither a Jovian planet nor a Terrestrial planet; it is considered a dwarf planet. A dwarf planet is a very small, some say miniature planet. Pluto was discovered in the year 1930s, but even though it was discovered in the 1930 there is very limited information on Pluto.

2. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. It is commonly refered to as the red planet. It is home the a very huge volcano, Olympus Mons. And scientist and astronouts say that it may be the first planet other that earth that will have humans on it. Mars is the furthermost terrestrial planet.

3. Big Bang Theory is a theory that explains how the universe begin. It started from a small piece of matter that had a high temperature and a high density. Eventually that piece of matter started to expanded very quickly and the universe started to form. After a while the expansion process slowed and now we have today. Even though the universe is still expanding it is not nearly as fast as it was when it first started to expand.

4. Dwarf planets are extremely small planets a little bit bigger than planetesmials. Dwarf planets tend to be futher away from the sun making them a lot colder than most planets. One very known dwarf planet is Pluto. Some people say that Pluto can be considered a terrestrial planet but pluto is entirely to small to be a terrestrial planet, as are many dwarf planets. There are 5 known dwarf planets in the solar system.

5. Hubble's telescope was the first telescope in space. It was named after the Edwin Hubble who discoved evidence to support the Big Bang Theory. Hubble's telescope was sent into space to discover any information that scientist didn't know or wanted to verify. Hubble's telescope was the first to get information and have it back up by the science of space.

This semester; how GUDD ii was. ! *


1. Once again I would have to say my favorite blog was woordle, because I had a fun time finding words that I felt were important to the chapter(s) we were on. But most of all I loved experimenting with the color schemes.

2. My favorite chapter was chapter 17, because I loved learning about radiation, conduction, and especially convection which was my favorite out of all of them.
3. I think I deserve a 100%, I did all my blogs on time, and they all answer the questions you asked when that particular blog was assigned. I did everything expected of me and that is why I think I deserve a 100% as my grade.

~Pollen is everywhere.-- Disgusting ; *


1. Tree pollen is effecting us the most right now. The most active tree is the oak tree.

2. When plants and trees grow simultaneously; dry, windy weather. All this causes a perfect season for pollen.

3. The pollen that comes from sunflowers, morning glory, hollyhock, lilies, primrose and caster beans. I like this one because it looks like little tiny rocks that are found at beaches and sidewalks, and bathroom tile. It looks really cool. Sunflowers are commonly found in the Great Plains States. This type of pollen is found in various types of flowers. But is commonly found in found in sunflowers.

-- States of Matter; and moree.~

1. The five states of matter are: solid, liquid, gases, plasmas, and bose-Einstein condensates.

2. In order to change a gas into a plasma you need physical forces.

3. The temperature at absolute zero in fahrenheit is: -459.67 degrees; the temperature at absolute zero in celsius is: -273.15 degrees; and the temperature at absolute zero in kelvin is: 0 degrees.

4. The temperature in space is: 3 degrees.

5. Plasma would taste syrup, would look like neon lights, smell toxic, and taste weird; Bose-Einstein would taste

*-- There was some questions; here's their answers --*

New Century International Elementary School
1. rainwater collection, geothermal A/C, solar photovoltaic power systems.
2. recycling rainwater to be able to maintain your foundation, geothermal A/C is a way to decrease your A/C bill by using pipes underground to produce cool air and heat, photovoltaic power system is the use of solar panel for electric energy.

Earth Day Core Issues
3. Food and Agriculture.
4. The big problem associated with this is that a lot of people don't support the organic or small farms.
5. People can invest in farms so they can protect the crops they are growing finicially. We can also give our time so that the farmers have our support.

.~(Hurricane Charley; 2004.)*


1. Hurricane Charley.

2. Near the Grand Cayman it was a category 2, it was a category 3 at its highest point; weakened after entering Cuba.

3. Charley came from a tropical wave and turned into a hurricane in Jamaica. At it highest point it was category 3 with 120 miles per hours winds. When Charley entered Florida it was a small Hurricane. Charley produced 16 tornados in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. The damages total 15 million dollars. Charley was responsible for 10 deaths in the U.S., 4 deaths in Cuba, and 1 death in Jamaica.

4. There was a total of 15 deaths; the damages amounted to 15 million dollars.

.~Who deserves aa better grade than mee.?? ; *


1. My best blog was my wordle blog. This blog was so good because I had fun with it and it really helped me learn about the vocabulary words we had.


2. I think I deserve a high A, between 95%-100%. I think I deserve this grade because all my blogs are on time they are all complete and they all represent the topic and information I was given to work with.


3. My favorite topic was chapter 16, because the vocabulary was the easiest to learn out of all of them, and I also felt like I really understood what the chapter was about. For example words like gyre, and upwelling were some of the easiest words I learn. Gyre means large whirls of water within an ocean basin, while upwelling is when the cold water raises to the top and brings nutrients with it. So I guess I liked chapter 16 because it was the simpliest chapter for me and I thought I could to do the best on it.

.~Chile Earthquake shortened....EARTH's few days.!!


1. Title: Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Earth's Day, shifted Axis. Publisher: New York
2. Earth's day can get shorter when a big or massive earthquake occurs.
3. I don't know if I agree with this because I'm not a scientist, but if it can be scientifically proven than I guess I agree. I agree because in the article he said that he had some type of scientific information to back up his theory of what can happen when a massive earthquake hits.

Order in the court... Black History Month is here!!


1. Elijah McCoy was an engineer. He invented the automatic lubicating devices for steam engines. Some other inventions were the ironing board and the lawn sprinker.

2. Celluar Phone: invented by Henry Sampson

Refrigerator: invented by J. Standard

Roller Coaster: invented by Granville T. Woods

3. The clothes dryer that uses heat from the stove: George T. Sampson. Now everyone can dry their wet clothes; even though the dryer has long since been advanced, George T. Sampson still made the first one.

Time to STOP; go back in time!! : *

1.Pangeaea and Rodina are similar because they formed the same way. They are different because they had different countries in different parts of the world when they were completely together.
2.The tectonics appeared to move the fastest during 420 and 350 millions years ago.
3.The world would be very choatic, because no one would be able to agree. One of the reason most people live where they live is because they agree with how the government is being ran and also how the people are. So if they have constructive differences with someone else customs, most people don't have to deal with it because of where people choose to live, but if everybody was living around the same area then it would be harder to adjust to that type of living style.
4.I would pick Spain, because right now it seems like a pretty place and I wonder how would have looked 250 millions years ago, and I would be willing to take a chance.

Geologic What.?? Geologic Period; !!


1. The geologic periods in order from oldest to youngest are: Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous permian, triassic, jurassic, cretaceous, tertiary, quaternary.


2. Camrin owed seven dollars, cause Peter's two jacks cost two quarters.


3. The rock layers in order are: D, A, E, B, C

Deeper than Deep.!!


1. The deepest mine in the world is 3.6 kilometers deep.

2. You would have to dig 35 kilometers deep to get to the earth's mantle.

3. The mantle would look like a huge rock, that gives off unbearable heat. I would probably see small rocks, but not any living things. When I reached the outer core it would be hot liquid mass and iron. When I reach the inner core it would probably be hotter and solid masses with iron sediments. As I finally hit the crust I would start to see the things I was used to like mountains, human life, rocks, water, clay and any other biological sources.

What and Why?? All about ME!!

I think I deserve an A+ on my blogs, because I do all my blogs and I put everything into my blogs. All my blogs include at least pictures and/or very descriptive details. I always make sure I put 100% effort into my all my work including my blogs. My favorite blog was the one that asked what my favorite science was. This blog was my favorite because I really did like astronomy and I was glad that I was asked which one was my favorite. Another reason I really think I deserve an A+, is because all the thing that were on my blogs were learned from you, and you really are a good teacher that's how come all the things on my blogs are an A effort because I all the things in class.

It's all about the 2010 Chrysler 300!


If my parents had the dying need to ask me what kind of car I wanted then I would have to respond and say the 2010 Chrysler 300. Why should you buy this car? Why shouldn't you, I mean its not a money clencher, its good for my self-esteem and of course I think this car would make me look good, and what parent wouldn't want that for their child. Another good reason is because it has reasonable miles per hour, and not to flashy for a teenager like myself. Lastly Mom and dad I know you want me to be happy, and having this car would make me VERY happy!

My most commonly used minerals!


Everyday I use salt (halite) whether its on my chicken or on my mac-a-roni and cheese, if halite is in my presence then it will be used by me to season my taste for the food I'm eating! Everytime I go to the beach I am in touching distance with sand, which is a pretty cool mineral. Most of the time when I go to the store I get change back, and majority of the time I might get back a penny (copper) as a piece of my change. Everytime I'm breathing I'm breathing in nitrogen. When I'm using paper in school I am using talc.

It all about Gnomonic Maps, Right?


I like gnomonic maps because they can show only the northern part of the world and it just so happen that I live in the northern part of the world! Which is so much more interesting then the other maps which basically show the same amout of area with the exception of the conic map. So why would I like maps that basically show the same exact thing? I wouldn't and I don't like any other type of maps other than gnomonic.

Astronomy


Astronomy is my favorite of the four sciences, because it is the basic study of the universe and how stars and the planets formed, which could be pretty cool information to know about! Since astronomy is the basic study of the universe, and I want to go the moon one day, knowing about the universe could be very useful information for me. Astronomy is not only useful information but it seems a lot more fun than learning about the weather and what causes it, or what and how the ocean forms. So, in conclusion Astronomy is way better than the other three sciences, in my opinion.
