Criterion A

I used the Human Ingenuity Essay for Criteria A. In this project we chose an inventor and researched their invention. Then we wrote a five paragraph essay and made a trading card. My inventor was Alexander Graham Bell who invented the telephone. Alex used science to invent the telephone and mnow everyone in society has one. in order to make the trading card we used markers and a note card. This was one of my favorite projects.

Criterion B

I used two projects for Criteria B the Mineral Poster and a Moon Journal. In the mineral poster we picked a mineral, researched the mineral, and created a colorful poster. This project showed society facts about minerals. To make the poster we used construction paper and markers. In the moon journal we looked at the moon and examined it. Then we drew a deatailed picture of it. I noticed by looking at other people's observations that everyone's was different.

Criterion C

In order to make the Flora and Fauna quilts we chose a flower or animal. Then we searched for facts about it. Finally, we drew a picture of it. This project showed the natural beauty of flora and fauna. We used many websites and books to do this project.

Criterion D

In order to make the Seascape we looked at references and drew simple drawings. We took our "abstract" art and had people in the class guess what the picture was. This is my favorite project because we drew using pastels.

Criterion E

In the 2011 - 2012 Earthquake & Volcano Chart, we firstr went on a link and looked for recent volcanos or earthquakes. Then we marked it on our map. This way we can see how variable the locations are. We used a computer, a map, and our little markers.

Criterion F

I thought the Rock Journal represented attitudes in Science. To start this project we found a rock and took notes about color and location. We used a rock, note card, and google earth to find the location. By doing this, we showed team work.
