week 9 science 2

 The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.

We talked about when things appeared/were created on earth. 



our table groups timeline: 

4000 mya oldest rock on earth 

3400 mya 1st life on earth 

2400 mya great oxygenation event 

470 mya first land plants 

200/300 mya pangea formed 

A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture.

we took an exam during lecutre. 

Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading


What did you learn? 

For the text book reading, I completed the practice quiz for our exam. 

I learned about the history of the earth by looking at it represented on a clock. It was a different perspective and showed how spread out everythig really is. Humans were not on Earth until close to midnight on the clock example while rocks formed on earth occured so long ago (billions of years) 

What was most helpful?

The graphics were extremely helpful and descriptive when looking at earths timeline, it was nice to see it in a circle picture version instead of the long time line we did in class. Showed different representations. 

What do you need more information on?

More information on Snowball Earth would be helpful, I still do not understand why it happened. Was the earth one big ice cube? Is that what that means? 

What questions/concerns/comments do you have?

I find it really interesting to learn about how earth moved Pangea and how some animals and plants are similar one contienents coast lines.

week 3 science 2

The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. We addressed how to interperet motion graphs. The big question was what affects a rider's speed down a slide?  When testing this question, there are different variables to consider/test like slide material, steepness, initial push, weight, temp, wet/dry slide, running start... etc.  Does the weight of a rider affect the speed as they go down the slide?  A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture In lecuture, we learned about acceleration=change in velocity/time acceleration often gets confused with speed, however, it is different  a question we looked into was WHY do riders accelerate as they slide?  Accelerate in 3 different ways Forces have a magnitude (size) and a direction  Friction depends on... - types of surfaces  - how hard the surfaces are pushed togehter Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading:  What did you learn?  I learned that even...

week 13

  What did you learn this week? This week we learned that density has a role in if an object will sink or float. It depends on the weight in grams as well. If an object is greater than 1gram per mL it will sink.  We discovered this through our dice activity also while revisiting the coca-cola activity. I also learned that salt water is more dense than freshwater. Which parts did you find clear and which were confusing? I still am a little confused as to how one of the coke cans floated. However, I do understand that they are made up of carbonation and one can had more sugar than the other. Therefore, that could be a factor.  What are new or remaining questions?  What objects/matierals are guarenteed to either float or sink?

week 14

  What did you learn this week? We learned about heat and conduction. We made a flip book demonstrating why liquid atoms move faster when heated rather than cooled. Water particles move faster when heat increases. Ice also melts faster on metal than wood because the particles are more tightly packed.  How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future? Using the anology of playing pool helps connect the resoning for slow particles and fast particles moving. Fast partcle hits slow particle.  What are new or remaining questions?  how does kinetic energy come into play when thinking about assesing the simulation?
