Criterion A: One World:Catalina Island Plant Quilt For my One World Criterion project I used my Catalina Native Plant Quilt. To find information on my plant I searched [|http://www].CatalinaIsland Conservancy and scrolled through a wide selection of native flora. I chose the Red Sand Verbenna because of its reddish pink glow and its unatural leave formation. Our class had to find the plants scientific name, size habitat, color and family. This was a very fun project project but I realized that not all the plants in Catalina were on that list. The plants were becoming very rare because of kids, bad environment, animals or even other plants! Fourtanetly we have the Catalina Island Conservancy that takes care of plants and animals among Catalina. The scientists use data collected from over the years to find out which plants are falliang off the charts. They even do this with animals! I think this project showed One World because it interacts with flora and fauna all around Catalina.

Criterion B: Communication in Science: Rock Journal For my Communication in Science Criterion I used my Rock Journal. To fufil our mission of creating the project we had to find information on the rock such as location, color,texture, description, time found and longitude and latitude. Every group member did their share of work because we communicated. We used the rock journal to find out where the rock was made and what its scientific name is. No rock is the same and we identified that in our project.

Criterion C: Knowledge and Understanding of Science: Moon Journal For Criterion C I picked my Moon Journal Project. To start the project we had to go outside and fill out time, date, weather,brief observation and a sketch. The moon did not look the same every night. Sometimes it was a full moon and sometimes it was a cresent. Waning and Waxing meant the moon was getting bigger or smaller. We could use tools such as telescopes, newspapers or even cars to get a better look at the moon. I picked this project because I learned a lot of new things about the moon and now I am knowlegdable about it.

Criterion D: Scientific Inquiry: Impressionist Pastel Drawing For Criterion D I decided to pic my Impressionist Pastel Drawing. To start the project we looked at other drawing drwan by JM Turner and imagined what they could be because it can be anything you want it to be. Next we thought of a mental picture and drew it on a piece of paper. Only the artist is supposed to know what the drawing is because the artist made it out of feelings. Last we picked a backround that blended with our sketch. I picked this project because many questions can be asked what the painting and where the location is taken place.

Criterion E: Processing Data: Earthquakes and Volcanoes Map For my Criterion E I used my Earthquakes and Volcano Map Lab. To get info on the newest tremers we uploaded a link and clicked location. It gave us longitude and latitude and I found it on the map. I had to use tools such as knowledge, tape and a computer. My mind was my best tool because I had to know where north and south were located. I picked this project because it shows that I needed to process data to know when an earthquake occured. This project was so much fun and I learned a lot from it!

Criterion F: Attitudes in Science: Squid Disection For my Criterion F project I used my squid disection lab. In this lab we had to be very safe. First, we went over rules an we were told what to do and what not to do. After, we got our squid and started to dig in. We had use tools such as scissors and a plate. This was my favorite lab and I learned that you need to be ready to do anything unsafe.
