Criterion A: One World We had to choose an invetion and study the inventor and the invention. We found out how it helped society. I chose the chinese star chart. The chinese star chart helped people navigate. It also was used to predict solar events such as a solar eclipses. The chinese star chart was very useful. The scientific tools we used in this project were; print resources, the internet, etc. Criterion B: Communication in Science For our Mineral Poster we had to choose and design a poster that communicates a minerals color, density, and physical characteristics as determined by multiple tests. I chose this project for communication because a good oppurtunity to incorparate scientific language with the information I had gathered. The resources I used to gather information on my mineral were multiple print resources vailable in the classroom ad wikipedia.

Criterion C: Knowledge and Understanding We developed a powerpoint presentation from our field study to Catalina. We obtained notes from our field study using our human sensory organs. Explorations includ field disection of a squid, a nature hike, and observations of aquatic and non-aquatic flora and fauna. To help us in our quest for knowledge we used scientific tools. The scientific tools we used are a salinity gauge, a trawling net, a succe disk, and snorkel gear.

Criterion D: Scientific Inquiry I investigated changes in the moon's luar cycle over the course of a month. My hypothesis for what I thought would happen to the moon was "If the moon full, it will soon wane." I used observations and my human sensory organs to study the moon.
