Mineral Lab

Mineral Properties:
    Mineral properties are its luster, cleavage, Fracture, color, composition, hardness and how the minerals are use for. Luter is to see the mineral is metallic or nonmetallic. Cleavage and fracture is to see the minteral break to evenly or unevenly. Composition is what kind of the chemicals inside the mineral.



Reflection
1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
      I enjoy most about this project is doing the imovie, because that is fun doing the imovie and learning how to film editing and add text.

2. What was the most challenging for you during this project and why?
       The most challenging for me during this project is doing the imovie, because this is my first time use the imovie.

3.What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
      The new skills I learn from doing this project is know how to use imovie, like add text, film editing.

4.Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of ypur work? Explain.
     Yes, if can have more time to work on it, I can make it more better.

Shaking Our World

Layer:

Lithophere
Activities:  BrainPop Video, Music Videos
Topics:  Mountains, layer of the Earth, plate boundary, and plate tectonics.
  
         They are three type of plate boundary: Divergent boundary, convergent boundar, and transform boundary. Convergent boundary teo plates come together. Divergent boundary when two plates moving apart. Transform boundary when two plate slide past each other. The Earth have four layers. Which is crust, mantle, outer core and inner core. Crust is the layer that we live on. The inner core is most dense and is most hottest. the core layer make up of iron and nickle.


Asthenosphere
Activities: Prediction Map. Demonstraction Lab
Topics: tectonic plate, concection currents

           Convenction currents is the movement of mantle. The mantle is heated by the interior core and is carried to the mantle by convection currents.  The movement of the mantle affact the movement on top. When transform boundary happen will cause earthquake. When convergent boundary happen will cause trenches and mountain.  When divergent boundary happen will cause ridges and rift valley.

Mantle
Activities: Exploration Labs
Topics: Subduction Zone, Ring of fire,
           Subduction zone is one plate goes under another plate make of mountain, trenches, and volcano. The ring of fire is the area around Pacific Plate with a lot of earthquake and volcanic activities. Earthquake cause by transform boundary and movement of fault.


Critical thinking Question.

 Do you agree with the theory of plate tectonics? Why or why not?
         I agree with the theory of plate tectonics, because scientists measure that  the earth keep moving every year and another evidence is envirnment factor, the earth continue moving cause earthquark and tsunami happen.

Reflection
1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
   I most enjoy doing the lab. Because is fun that following the step and see look forward to what happen next.
2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
     The most challenging for me during this project is the presentation, because I have to prepare a lesson.
3. What new skills did you learn from doing this porject?
  I learned some teach skill during the presenttation.
4. Is there anything that you could have donw to improve any of your work? Explain.
  Yes, I will add more information and make it more creative to improve my work.

Summary:
           Solstices either of the two times of the year at which the Sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky at midday marked by the longest and shortest days. Equinox mean the equal day and equal day by 12 hours of each. The Earth divided by two part by the equator, one is the northern and other one is the southern. Season happen because Earth revolving around the Sun by orbit and Tilt. Tilt is the angle from right postition to size by 23.5 degress. Each year have two solotices and teo equinox. The summer solstice is star on June 20/21. The very long day in the year and it is the first day of summer. Winter solstice is happen on December 21/22. It is the shortest day of the year and first day of winter. Autumnal equinox happen on September 21/22 and is the first day of fall. Equal day and equal night by 12 hours of each. Vernal equinox happen on March 21/22 and is the first day of the spring.

Video



Critical Thinking Question:
How is earth affected by movement ( revolution)?
            The earth revolving around the sun by orbit. It takes 365 days or 1 year to revolve one time around the sun and rotate 24 hours on axis. The earth rotation cause day and night. The earth revolution cause four different seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumnal, and Winter. Also cause different temperature and rain falls.

Reflection:
1.What did you enjoy most about this project?
           I enjoy working with Shahzod, because we collaborate and make fun with each other. I enjoy learning new stuff and making video.

2.What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
           The most challenging for me during this project is drawing pictures and making images, because my drawing is terrible.

3.What new skills did you learn from doing this project.
           New skills that I learned from doing this project is collaborate with group number.

4.Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
           Yes, after I watched every group videos. Compare to other group video, I knew that our video did bot have a lot image and detial to show. We can add more inage and fun to make it more perfect.
