Criterion A: One World Human Ingenuity For the human Ingenutiy project we took many steps to complete it. First, we chose a person to research about. Then, we did some research abut some of the discoveries the enviroment. Then, we wrote a five paragraph essaytrading on what we researched. After, we designed a trading card with the picture of what our scientist discovered on one side and on the other side was a short summary of what your person discovered. I did this project on Galileo and found it interesting on all of the information I collected that I didn't know about him before. I think this relates to one world because it is what society discovered or what humans discovered and most of the time, people with two different ideas came together and sometimes changed the world. We used a pencil, notebook, computer, and a notecard. Criterion B: Communication in Science Catalina Notes While we were in Catalina, we had to take notes on every lab that we went to. First, we had to make sure we had our heading so in the future we knew the date, time, location, weather, purpose, and spiritual application. Then we needed to write down any useful information that we heard. We also needed to make sure that everything that was written on the white board was in our notes because that was the most important things. This really helped us when we came back home and did our Catalina PowerPoint because we had all of the facts we needed. We were only allowed to write this in our science notebooks and could only use a pencil or a pen. Everybody really needed to pay attention if they wanted to take good notes and in this case they did. Criterion C: Knowledge and Understanding Rock Journal We did a really fun lab during science class called the rock journal. First, each person had to bring in rocks and label where they found it, the date, and the time. Then we learned all about that rock and named the type of rock. Then, we got into groups and did a 3-D model. In the 3-D model we chose three rocks to add into it and explain them. We did this project to learn about rocks. Criterion D: Scientific Inquiry Map-in-a-Pan During science, we did a lab called map-in-a-pan. This lab told us the meaning of a topographic map. First we got all of the materials and got ready for the project. We needed a bucket, clay, blue water, a pencil, and expo marker, a piece of glass, and our moon journals. Then, we made clay models of mountains and put them in the bucket. After, we filled the bucket with one inch of the blue water and put the piece of glass on top. Then we took the expo marker and drew what we saw around the base of the mountain. After, we put one more inch of water and repeated the process. The reason we did this is because wewanted to really know what a topographic map is and an easy way to make one. Criterion E: Processing Data Moon Journal At the beginning of the year we did a moon journal. A moon journal is when we observed the moon for a series of nights. First, we had to put a heading which was the date, time, and weather. Then we actually observed the moon and then wrote a brief observation on what we saw. After, we drew a picture of what we observed. We collected data by writing down and/or thinking of what we were looking at. Then we processed the information into sentences and wrote it down in our moon journal. Then we interprated the information by explaining what we saw in our class the next day. The tools that we used was our moon journal, a pencil,colored pencils, and our eyes. We did this project because we wanted to feel like real scientist and do a lab that would take up more than one day and have a good experience. Criterion F: Attitudes in Science Squid Dissection Lab When we were in Catalina, we did a squid dissection lab. We had to go through multiple steps to complete this lab. First, we were handed all of the tools that we needed. Then, we got the squid that we had to dissect. After, we were not allowed to touch it but we had to observe the body and see if we could name any parts before we named them. Then, we named all of the parts on the outside body. Then, we cut the squid open. After, we named all of the inner parts and got to see if ours was a boy or a girl. Then, once everybody finished, we worked in our notes and worked on everything we learned. This activity was a fun way for students to interact with marine life and learn. What we used was a cutting board, scissors, our notebook, and a pencil.
