Criterion A - One World - Moon Pastel When we prepared to start the Moon Pastel project we were talking about the background of the painter we were doing the art work like. As we were talking about it we talked about how we were going to draw ours of the moon. I started to think about maps and how in the olden days they guessed where the stars were and what everything looked like (moon,planet,etc.) This projecct opened my eyes how people had to guess until they came out with newer more advanced technology. People had to problem solve and create one generic map. This is how we learned alot about the stars and the moon. This one invention benifit all of society.



Criterion B - Communication in Science - Moon Essay The moon essay was a project where we had to be thinkers and inquirers. We had to look up facts online and form our science notebooks. WE also had to write using MLA formatand type a work cited. This was a good project to exhibit scientific vocabulary and what we were capeable of doing. It showed our prior knowledge and what kind of research we did. The work citedalso showed that we were citing the information and the ideas we got from someone else and wrote it instead of claiming it as our own. For this project we used the computer and books for facts, a pencil and paper to write the essay, and we also did a work cited.



Criterion C - Knowledge and Understanding of Science - Rock Project For this project we had to collaborate in a small group, in my case a group of 4, and create a diorama of the rock cycle for 3 different types of rocks igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. for facts we had to look online, in books, and think back to lessons we had. We had many lessons on all three types of rocks and their cycles during class time. We learned that not all igneous rocks go in the same cycle as other igneous rocks. Same as sedimentary rocks.



Criterion D - Scientific Inquiry- Squid Lab Catalina During Catalina we had many differt labs, but the Squid Lab was one where we had to predict weather our squid was a male or a female.We had to cut the squid with scissors to investigate weather our prediction was right or not. We fed the squid and all of its parts to the segulls and the rest fell into the ocean.

Criterion E - Processing Data - 2011-2012 Volcanoes and Earthquakes When we did the 2011-2012 Earthquake and Volcano project we had to look online at recent volcano and earthquake activity, then we had to locate it on a map and find the cordinates to graph it. We also had to record it in a log book when and where it was. We had recorded and collected this information in order to see a pattern fo the project to work.



Criterion F - Attitudes in Science - Vertabretes and Invertabrates Catalina In Catalina we had to be safe with all of the animals and plants we were touching. So during the Vertabretes and invertabretes lab we had to be very careful when we touched the living organisms. We used our hands, minds, and feild journals while we were doing all this to think about the information being given to us.
