Criterion A: This is my Human ingenuity paper. In thi sproject we were assigned an inventor to research about. Once we had the knowledge and understanding through science we wrote a five paragraph essay and created a notecard with a picture and a caption on it. This project shows how society improves and suceeds in life. My inventor was Archimenes and he invented math. For example, he used data charts and measuring tools to improves society. For this project we used computers and books to research out inventor.



Criterion B: in this project, The Rock Journal, we had to create a diagram of the Rock Cycle of Ingneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary Rocks. This matches the criterion because we used Scientific Language to explain the Rock Cycle and cite our rocks in a Rock Journal. In order to do this, we needed to use the MLA format to cite our sources sucessfully. We also used computers for information.



Criterion C: In this project, The Moon Journal, we were assigned to chart the moon every night for 30 days in our Moon Journal to show the many phases the moon can have by casting a shadow. THis shows that we know and understand all the phases of the moon and how it goes through a cycle. This also shows how we know how to chart and record data correctly. In this project we used our Moon Journal and our eyes to observe the moon.



Criterion D: In this project we were asked to observe rocks and test on them to identify the class of rock that was in. After we identified the rock we charted it in a data chart which had columns for different classes of rocks. This shows that we are making predictions and classifying different rocks. For this experiment we used rocks, charts, magnifying glasses, a scratch pad, and a sharp tool to scratch the rock.



Criterion E: For this project we were assigned to create a data chart of birds and their actions in our field study journal while we were in Catalina during our bird lab. This shows that we organized and charted the data on the birds behavior to show the variety of birds in Catalina. For this project we used our pencils and out notebooks to record data.



Criterion F: For this project we were assigned to create a topographic map inside of a pan to show the topography of mountains. This shows safety because we used clay and colored water carefully by not putting it down the classroom sink. We also used the sharp objects to cut the clay with caution. For this project we used a pan, clay, a plastic knife, and blue colored water.
