Astronomy:
This past year I began learning astronomy. My favortie activity in astronomy was when Mr. Getty came and we used models of the solar system to develop a better understanding of space and how it works. Using computers we changed the velocity and mass of the planets and the sun and studied stable orbits, unstable orbits, and what lies beyond Earth in space. I liked this activity because we were able to use technology and test our own hypothesiss to learn.
Weather and Climate:
During the weather and climate section I enjoyed the activity on the computer where we compared warm fronts, cold fronts, stationary fronts, and occluded fronts. I liked this activity because I was able to see how the different fronts worked and what was different and alike between them.
Geology:
As we learned about geology I liked when we got to do the different tests to find out which rock or mineral was which. In this activity we learned about many different kinds of rocks and minerals. I had fun in this activity because it was hands on and we really got to understand how to identify rocks and minerals.
Weathering and Erosion:
The weathering and erosion section was also fun because my friend and I got to work on a podcast together. I had a lot of fun working with my friend on this podcast. I liked how we got the freedom to choose which way we wanted to present our research and all have the same guidlines. As you can see I really enjoyed making the podcast about weathering and erosion.
Earth's Waters:
In the Earth's waters unit I enjoyed the activity on the computer where we learned about the cycle water goes through. After learning about the water cycle we answered questions about it on our blog. I enjoyed this activity because it was hands on and we got to apply what we learned right after learning it.
Thanks for viewing my blog this year which included my projects, homework, and thoughts.
