Criterion A Project: Human Ingenuity At the beginning of the year, I did a project called Human Ingenuity. During this project, I had to research an invention that was invented by man. So I chose ROVs (underwater machines). I learned how they help society and they helped us find the Titanic. They can dive over 10,000 ft underwater to help scientists know what is lurking on the ocean floors. I believe that this project would go under Criterion A: One World because ROVs discover more about our world. This also was made from science because inventors and engineers had to math equations to help them figure out how deep the machine can go underwater. The hard part was that there was only one book, but had a lot information on ROVs.

Criterion B Project: Rock Journal

Criterion B reflects over one of our projects that we did was called The Rock Journal. When we had winter break, we had an objective, to collect 1-3 rocks from the area we traveled to. Then after break, we brought our rocks to school and examined our discoveries. We had to write the coordinates and describe the rock. Later on, people gathered into groups and did a model of where we found our rocks. Then did a presentation. My sources were Google Earth, a few books, and the internet. I chose this essay for Criterion B because when my group was presenting, the kids in my class had to cross off a scientific word that we said that was on the list. Also, we had created comments on our note card about our rocks that were scientific language. Our response to our project was exemplar.

Criterion C Project: Moon Journal One project that is a good example of Criterion C is our Moon Journal entries. What we had to do was observe the moon and to write a description on how it looked. Some people went beyond of their requirements and looked up a moon calender to see what the moon will be like the next day or next week. One of the objectives that relates to this project is the first (Recall, use scientific language to explain). This is great example because we were supposed to use strong, scientific language about our observation. The tools I used was my IPhone, my computer, my telescope, and my space book.

Criterion D Project: Bird Lab One project that really stands out for Criterion D is our Bird Lab during Catalina. It represents Criterion D because the instructor told us to predict how many birds would be on the famous rock called Indian Rock. I forget our discovery, but what was fun was that we kayaked our way to Indian Rock. The tools we used were a pencil, notebook, and also your thinking cap.



Criterion E Project: Topographic Maps A project for Criterion E was an experiment about topographic maps. We first had to make clay mountains and place them in a container. Then, slowly, we filled water an inch higher then drew the top of the mountain on glass with an Expo marker. When we finish, the topographic map we drew looked like twins with the map in our textbook. Our instruments were an Expo marker, clay, a bin, glass, a pencil, and our notebooks.

Criterion F Project: Plankton Lab Criterion F is one of the most important Criterion in Science. It reflects on the science attitudes or safety. A good example is when we were in Catalina, we had a class called Plankton Lab. What we did was that we took a boat then set sail toward a rock called Indian Rock. Toward the end, we caught plankton in a recycled water bottle in the water. When we made it back to shore, we examined the plankton we caught in a microscope, then had to draw what the plankton looked like. This is a good example of this Criterion because you were required to wear a lifejacket on the boat. We also had to sit down while the instructor is driving. In science never forget safety. If you do, your life is on the line. Criterion C: Knowledge and Understanding Criterion D: Scientific Inquiry Criterion E: Processing Data Criterion F: Safety in Science
