​Week 1
On Tuesday when I went to the library for P.E I noticed a poster that said science and it had a picture of a molecule or an atom I don't remember but it reminded me of our unit on matter. When I was watching the T.V that afternoon i was watching TV and I saw a car crash and the on of the passengers didn't have their seatbelt on and flew out window and it was because he was still going at the same speed the car was so it was his fault and nobody else fault .
Week 2
This week for science my little brother was sliding on a puddle and got all wet but he kept sliding and sliding until there was no more water friction cased him to stop and fall flat on his face in the middle of the road .On Thursday I also saw Ms.Piehl wearing a patterned jacket that had science stuff and it had a picture of a neutron and it reminded me of when we studied matter.
Week 3
Last year I learned about simple machines today I went to the a building and I had to walk up the stairs and to a classroom and open a door doing that I used two simple machine an inclined plane and a wheel and axle. If the stairs wouldn't have been there it would have been harder to get to the class
Week 4
This week i went to the tech expo and it was really fun. I got to see how people use technology and of course I saw the skate parks which involve force and motion. I did a broadcasting with Mr. Romaine and Casey .H ,I think that the science behind this is the resolution because each phosphor (A substance that exhibits phosphorescence. The phosphorescent coating inside the screen of a cathode-ray tube.)emits light in proportion to the intensity of the electron beam hitting it. On a standard television screen, the electron beam has about 256 levels of intensity for each of the three colored phosphors(see Picture at bottom).At the tech expo I also saw my friends from Meeker and won t-shirt :)
Week 5
Last year i learned about rocks and minerals and about Moh's hardness scale. On Moh's Hardness Scale the weakest Is talc and the strongest is Diamond. The three types of rocks are Igneous , Metamorphic and Sedimentary .Rocks are igneous when the melted rock, called magma cools and slowly becomes igneous rocks. Metamorphic Rocks are made when igneous or sedimentary rocks have been "morphed" into Metamorphic rocks this is caused because of lot of pressure.
Week 6
Last year I learned about cell structure with Mrs. Yemothy .I learned what was inside the cells like the mitochondria , lissome, Golgi bodies, ribosome, ER, the nucleous,cell wall, cell membrane and vacuoles are the important things. we talked about animal cells and plant cells but each were slightly different.
Week 7
Alterative Medicines
Alterative Medicines are actually standard treatments. Homeopathy is one of those Medicines that was developed in Germany .This treatment would need a large dose of a substance that would create symptoms of an illness in a healthy person and a very small dose would cure that sick person of that illness. Another of these alternative medicines is the acupuncture treatment a form of traditional Chinese medicine that is thousands of years old. Acupuncture is were very thin needles are inserted into the skin for 5 to 20 minutes to free blocked energy , based on the theory that energy moves through invisible channels in the body
Week 8
Genetics: Last year we kind of learned about genetics. We did this square thing where it was xy and yy and xx . It was confusing at first but I kind of got the hang of it after a while . I did like that unit though because it kind of explained what a child inherited from their parents. The class kind of got an idea of what a child could look like due to the parents genetics. My classmates and I did a project were you had a partner and you and your partner drew a baby with certain genetics drawn from a dice.
Week 9
Blue Seas: Why is water clear when the ocean is blue ? Because when light hits something most of the wave lengths of color are absorbed If you had a blue shirt you only see blue because the blue wavelength of light is reflected so that is what you see. The water has a lot of molecules that spread around and when it reflects of the sand under the water the short blue wave lengths scatter everywhere that is why water is blue.
Week 10
Dolphin communication: Can Dolphins really communicate with People? Humans communicate in different ways in fact humans use almost 6,000 spoken, written, and code languages . Dolphins communicate with each other too but they couldn't communicate with people now they can. At the Living Seas exhibit at the Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida found a way to communicate with the dolphins. The dolphins communicate with the researchers with a keyboard. Humans activate the keyboard by touching a key and dolphins activate it by inserting their mouth into one of the holes of the keyboard inside each hole there is an infrared beam. When that beam is broken by a dolphin's mouth the human word is heard on an overhead speaker. the dolphins seemed to expect certain behaviors from the trainers when they push a certain hole. This is how they communicate.
Week 11
Blue sky: At home I watched a video about the blue sky so Why is the sky blue ? In order for the sky to be blue you need sunlight and the atmosphere. Light is waves, Blue light is a short wave length. Red is a long wave length and sunlight is a far form of visible light that has all the colors.
Week 12
Deoxyribonucleic acid: Deoxyribonucleic acid is DNA , DNA is usually used to establish paternity but also for criminal cases. DNA is used by crime investigators, and scientists constantly. DNA is a molecule that looks like a twisted ladder with rungs in the middle those rungs are what makes us all different because they are all in a different sequence for every one except identical twins. "Each rung is made of a pair of organic molecules called nitrogen bases-adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine-usually symbolized as A, T, C, and G."
Week 13
This weekend when my sister and I went to the mall we went to clairs and my sister said " omg there are so many colors I don't know which one to choose" and I told her that we wouldn't be able to see colors if it wasn't for visible light or the color spectrum and she said that the color spectrum was cool. I can't imagine my life with out color . I LOVE THE COLOR SPECTRUM !!
Week 14
Yesterday my family and I were going to have a guest at our house and the light from my parents room wasn't working and my dad checked the box where the electrical panel is and turned off all the electricity in our house and then my curling iron didn't work so I got really mad because my hair was half done and I only had fifteen minutes before the guest arrived so I had to brush it out and then he turned it back on . If we didn't have electricity in this world I would be very sad.
Week 15
today i was on the bus and i reached down for something that fell and i got stuck between the driver seat and mine and i would go up but then i would go back down and Jordan said that gravity just wouldn't let me get up but finally i managed to get unstuck. I thought about what Jordan said and it was true gravity was pushing me pulling me down. Week 16 Today I ate an apple and it made me think of Newton and his three laws of motion. This week I played ten pass at school and at home one of Newton's laws of motion that applied here was the first one (every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.) because the Frisbee would keep going until the air made it fall or some hit it or catched it
Week 17
This week I got my APOD picture my day was June 1st , 2008. I picked June 1st because that is my birthday and I can't wait, I went to the website to see what my pictures looked like if was COOL!! It was a picture of a eruptive prominence that is twisted in a figure eight shape and is really pretty, on the description for it on the APOD website it sais that the prominence was so big that ten earths could fit in it. A prominence is basically a big glowing cloud of gas. That erupts from the surface of the sun.
Week 18
Last week I researched for my APOD picture and this week I decided to look for a little more information about my APOD and I found out that when prominences erupt they can produce auroras. I was really interested in auroras and they are just natural light displays in the night sky and they are gorgeous. Auroras the interaction of electrons from the sun with earth's magnetic shield
Week 19
Jenica and i have been working on our space mission for our astronomy unit this week and it has actually been interesting. Our mission was the Magellan mission to Venus. I think that Venus is pretty or at least from the outside because it is ugly on the outside and very hot. One of the interesting things that i learned is that Venus is the hottest planet ,I would have thought that it was mercury because it is the closest to the sun. Jenica and i have learned a lot and soon will share what we learned with the class.
Week 20
While i was in choir this week i wonderd if maybe there was science behind singing and guess what there is .A lot of people say that singing is just a talent adn that some people sing sing and some people sing don't , is that what you think? If so you are wrong because there is more to singing that you think. There is a reasearcher from the university of missori in coloumbia that who the vocals of peopls who sing good to help people who don't and he uses speach pathology wich is the is the study of disorders that affect a person's speech, language, cognition, voice and swallowing this researcher uses this to help others sing good even if it takes a long time of practice
Week 21 I was on sciencedaily.com and I was reading an article about how Soccer Reduces Risk of fall and Bone Fractures. I learned that regular participation in soccer increases both bone mass and bone density. These things help improve in standing postural balances and it also helps improve with your muscle strength that you have developing. These things effect the reduce of any kinds of falls and any bone fractures.
Week 22 This Week i saw a an article about fitness. It is good to excericise but when you over do it it is bad becaue you are not letting your body adjust to adapt and recuperate in response to the training regimen you're taking part in. you are also not getting benifit when you do less. There are ways that you can know when adn of you are over doing it like :
Decrease in performance.
Increase in a person's resting heart rate and blood pressure.
Increased muscle fatigue, disturbed sleep patterns and gastro-intestinal disturbances.
Depression, irritability, apathy, and low self-esteem.
