The earth

This week we learned about the earth and what it is like. We learned that there are layer to the earth. We also learned how to the continents were once connected. There are things called tectonic plates that moves them. This is all in the lithosphere that is the top of the earth's layers.  

This week we made models. They were to represent how the earth build up after time. we had time to build them first was 5 mins than 7 than  10. each time we did it more and more. We also used tem to represent how the continents move by sliding them. Just like the tectonic plates. We used a picture of this fence it was right where the middle of two plates where. Then one day there was an earthquake and the fence moved. so we did that too with this model. So we did a lot this week with models.

The layers and rock cycle

Summary:This week we did a few thing one we learned about the rock cycle. Two we learned about the layers of the earth. It was fun to learn how our world works. I also really liked to learned more about our earth and how it works. So that is what we did this week.

This week we learned about the rock cycle and the layers of the earth. When we were doing this we all collaborated and an worked on obtaining information. We would help each other by telling each other any notes we missed. We were able to ask questions to the teacher and are peers. This week was really good I learned a lot.

Scientific method Bunny Problem

Summary: This week we have been working on the scientific method cartoon. Mine is about a bunny who gets sick from a food so its owner want to find out what food is bad. It goes thought the scientific method to find out what the food is. She used all the steps and found out that the bad food was and told everyone at here club. So that is what we did this week.

Backward Looking:This week the way I could have improved is  I could have made more squares by making each square smaller. Then  I could have made the cartoon even cooler and I could have explained more. I could have also colored it more.  Like I could ahve made a backround for each square. So those are the two thing I would do.

Inward Looking: This week I really liked the work. It was fun to be able to make up your own problem and answer. I really enjoyed drawing and making this. I do wish I could have done more. For the most part though I thoughth it was good. Next time if I do this I would want to so do some thing that could not happen for real like a zombie attack or something. So I really liked this week.

Outward Looking: I think that even though we all had differnent stories they all had the same process of doing there work. For example we all did are drafts and we all went in the same order. It was really good to do that because you could ask for help if you were stuck on any thing and you could kind of work as a team. So I think we all worked in the same way. I really liked that this week.

Forward looking: As I look at this piece I would say  I would want all my art to look the same. What I mean is I wish all my charectes looked the same in all my pictures. In my opinion they kind of look different as the story goes on. So that is one thing I would change because I kind of think it weird looking that they are different. So that is one of the few things I would change on my project.

Project blog paper towel edition

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Paper_towel.png/276px-Paper_towel.png

This week we did an experiment on paper towels. First we got two different kinds of paper towels. Then we got them wet with two squirts of water. Finally we put pennies on the paper towels and saw which paper towel could hold more when wet. After we did that we counted all the pennies and saw which brand held the most. So this week was great.

When we first started I did not know which brand would be better. I made my hypothesis that the Kirkland brand paper towel would hold 200 more than the other brand. It was really cool because in the end my hypothesis was right. I also did not expect that we needed so many pennies. We used over 400 on the Kirkland brand paper towel and for  the other brand it used over 200.

I liked doing this experiment it was fun. It was a little hard when we did not know what the other brands name was.So that was kind of annoying. The other thing is I was gone for a day so I was behind on some group work. I have to say over all it was a great experiment. It keep me guessing I did not now what would happen. I did not even think we would need so many pennies to break it. So this week my feelings on this experiment was good .

If I were to grade myself I would give are group a 9/10. I would give us this score because one thing that would be hard is if you were to try to run this experiment you would not get the same answers because we did not know what the mysterious towel was. So I think that was kind of bad but for the most part we all did good. We worked together and all had a part in the experiment. So that is why I would give us this score.

If I could do one part over again is I wish we did more than two squirts of water on the towel.I would want to do this because it was so hard to break the towels. It took so many pennies. So if I added more it would make it ten times easier on us. We also would have not had to count as many pennies as we did. It could have helped a little on the time it took to conduct the experiment as well. So that is what I would change.
