Criterion B: Communication in Science: This criterion addresses your ability to communicate scientific information, use scientific language and present it. Criterion C: Knowledge and Understanding of Science: The knowledge and understanding of main scientific ideas and concepts is very important. This criterion refers to your ability to solve problems, using these ideas and concepts. Critical thinking skills become a key component in anayzing and evaluating scientific information. Criterion D: Scientific Inquiry: This criterion refers to your ability to design, plan and carry out scientific investigations independently. Criterion E: Processing Data: Processing data refers to the skills necassary to organize and process scientific data. Criterion F: Attitudes in Science: A key component of the study of science is your attitudes towards safety, respect and collaboration.



Criterion A: The Human Ingenuity project. The first thing we had to do for the Human Ingenuity project is choose a person that has helped to improve our lives today. My person was Ptolemy. Ptolemy did two very important things that helped to improve our lives today. Ptolemy studied the stars and all the constilations and he figured out the Earth was not flat. This helped us by discovering new land without thinking you will fall off the horizon. Some of the tools I used were my moon journal, computer, and books. Criterion B: Catalina PowerPoint. The 6th grade went to Catalina and made a PowerPoint. When we returned we made a PowerPoint. We had to have slides about Flora and Fauna which are plants and animals. We used scientific language by writing down facts about the plants and animals. We had a an oral presentation and a work cited. I used PowerPoint, my Catalina notebook, and the Internet. Criterion C: I had to go outside every night and study the Moon. I used scientific language by writing down the phase of the Moon and any thing else about the Moon. I used my Moon Journal and I used a Moon app that shows me everything about the Moon that night. We had to do this for almost a month. Studing the Moon every night was very fun and exciting

Criterion D: I studied the Craters on the Moon each night. I had to look at the details of the Moon, what the texture mite be, and what the Crater looks like. I used a Moon app, the computer, and a book about the Moon. I did the Crater lab a couple of times. Learning about the Craters on the Moon and what they look like and how they are made was very fasinating.

Criterion E: In the Phoneme Experiment I had to read as fast as I could and try to beat each of my scores everyday for the whole week. We had one minute to read as far as we could.This would help me read better and faster. I used the Phoneme Experimennt paper and my Moon Journal. We read one time everyday for the whole week. This was a very fun project and it made me a faster reader. Criterion F: When I went to Catalina one of the labs was a squid dissection. We were very safe when we were examining it. We also used safety when we were cutting the squid open to examine it. I used my Catalina Notebook. We got open it up and see everything inside of it like all the body parts of a squid. This lab was extremely exciting.
