Criterion: One World

Reflection: On my Human Ingenuity project there were many steps. We first had to chose an inventor that impacted our world in science. We had to research our inventor and make a note card, with an illustration that helped people to know about your inventor. This project shows that there was a problem in a society that someone chose to fix.



Criterion B: Communication in science

Reflection: After our field study to Catalina Island, we made a power point on our trip. We had to upload the photos we took, to a computer. Then we moved the photos we downloaded on to the slides that they matched in our powerpoint. We wrote facts on each slide, and used scientific writing throughout the whole project. We used microsoft powerpoint to construct this project.

Criterion C: Knowledge and Understanding of Science

Reflection:

In Catalina we had to take field noted during every class, with the correct MLA. in our notes we used scientific language very often. We especially used scientific language in Squid Lab where we had to label all of the parts of the squid, like the ink pack. When we got backmfrom Catalina the feild noted were very useful for our powerpoint.



Criterion D: Scientific Inquiry

Reflection:

What's in a rock? That is the name of one of the project we did in science class. we had to ask questions to ourselves to figure out what is in a rock. I also looked on the outside of the rock to determine what is in the inside. But the inside of the rock was always very different from the outside.



Criterion E: Processing Data

Reflection: In science we did a leaf project we had to measure many different leafs. We recorded the data into our science notebooks. Our class found out which leaf was the biggest in shape and size, and which leaf is the smallest. We also measured the leafs with rulers and meter sticks.



Criterion F: Attitudes in Science

Reflection:

In Plankton Lab, we had to pay attention. We had to listen to our instructor to know how to use a microscope. If wedidnt listen then we could damage the equiptment. In Plankton Lab we went out into the ocean and caught plankton with a little plastic water bottle.Then we brought it back to the lab to look at all of the plankton under the microscope. I learned from plankton lab that the two main types of plankton are Phyto and Zoo plankton.
