FINAL ASSESSMENT

How does metamorphic rock becomes sedimentary rock?
Weathering breaks it into sedimentary rock than pressure turns it into metamorphic rock.
How does magma change into metamorphic rock?
It changes into metamorphic rock by cooling, heat and pressure.
How does consumer become a fossil fuel?
When the consumers die, decomposers discompose it and than millions of years passes and it becomes fossil fuel.
How can a fossil fuel be used in photosynthesis?
Factories burn fossil fuel and it turns into Co2 than producers take in Co2 in the process of photosynthesis
How does lake water turn into a cloud?
Sunlight heats the water and turns it into Evaporation then it goes into the atmosphere where it gathers together in a process called condensation and the it transport and turns into a cloud.
How can a cloud turn into groundwater?
Precipitation falls and then it runs off, once is in the ground it goes to a process called infiltration which then it goes underground and becomes groundwater.

Part II
How are the rock, carbon, water cycles connected to hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and biosphere?
-Rock cycle connects to hydrosphere because hydrosphere provides water, water weather discompose rocks into sediments.
-Carbon cycle connects to hydrosphere because producers need water in the process of photosynthesis in order to produce O2.

-Water cycle is connected to hydrosphere because that's where the water cycles.

-Rocks connect to lithosphere because that's where rock cycle takes place.

-Carbon cycle connects to lithosphere because that's where consumers die and become fossil, fossil fuel.

-Water cycle connects to lithosphere because that’s where precipitation infiltrates underground and becomes underground water.

-Rock Cycle connects to the Atmosphere because when the volcano erupts it releases gases to the atmosphere making it hot.

-       Carbon Cycle connects to the Atmosphere because that’s where Co2 and O2 take place also the green house releases CO2 to the atmosphere.

-       Water cycle connects to the atmosphere because that’s where evaporation changes its form in the process of condensation and then to clouds and then comes precipitation.

-Rock cycle connects to biosphere, because organism help break down rocks into sediments.

- Carbon cycle connects to biosphere because producers are living things that take in CO2 and release O2 and consumers eat the producers in order to survive.

-Water cycle connects to Biosphere, because living organism need water to survive.


Rock, Water, Carbon cycles connect because Magna, underground water, fossil, fossil fuel, they all take place underground in lithosphere.

Refection
I enjoyed creating the video because I learned new things about Imovie which was really fun.

Something challeging for me was trying to finish the movie on time, because I think that we didn't have enough time to finish it or we need it to be more organize.

The new skill I learned was trying to work has hardest I could and not waste any time.

Something that I will say to improve will be, that I have to work harder and also to organize my self better.

1. How does sleep effect your learning? 

Sleep could effect our learning in a positive way and a negative way the positive way is that sleep helps learn even more because all the information we learn during the day isn't in your brain yet if you don't sleep enough scientist believe that we have to sleep for at least 9:15 hours so that all the thing we learned during the day will be stored in your brain, the negative way is that we wont be able to have all the information learned during the day into our brain, also the next day we would be sleepy without energy to learn.

2. How much sleep do you get each night? Do you think this is enough? Do you feel tired in the morning?
I get like 10 hours of sleep which I think it is enough and I don't feel tired in the morning I just wake up earlier every morning.

3. Will you change what you do after reading about sleep and learning? Why or why not?
I guess I already knew about this, so I been considering it and trying to follow it.

Current Events: Energy Drink Reflection Homework

Final Reflection:

Write a reflection about your what you learned.

1. What is your opinion about energy drinks?

My opinion about energy drink is that its really bad because some of the drinks kills people and people that don't even know what it contains they continue drinking it without knowing that it harms our organism.2. 

What is an opposing argument than the one that you have been presented with?

 Energy drinks may provide a bit too much of a boost to your heart creating additional strain on the organ and causing it to contract more rapidly than usual,What would the drink makers say about this? They have to tell the truth about every single Ingredient and Chemicals that each drink contains.3. 

Will you drink them? Why or why not? 

I think that its impossible to stop drinking them because some times we feel like wanting to have energy and therefore we'll obviously find a energy drink.

Natural Disasters
            Desastres naturales

Essential Question: What are the natural characteristics of a specific country?
I am from Guatemala is a country with a lot of fishes which therefore there's a lot of fishing. There's a lot of type of fishes such as tuna fish.
                                 How does our country define who we are?   
It define us because is the place where we are born and that's the place where we learn our first language also our culture is different from others some of the things are similar to others but not all of them for example the food some of the food we eat, some other cultures also have it. Also it define us because of our natural resources .


What did you  enjoy about this project and why?
I really enjoyed being able to show what I know about my country and be proud of it, because I really
love my country and I like talking about it.

What was most challenging for you during this project and why?

For me the difficult part was finding accurate answers about my country, because there are  a lot of sites that don't always have the right answer.

What new skills did you learn from doing this project?

thanks to this project I improved my research skills.

is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? explain.

I think I could have added better and more pictures, because my pictures are not the best ones I could have found.

what would you change about this project?

I would have waned exchange countries with one of my classmates that way I can learn about their country.
