=== The Human Ingenuity project shows how famous inventors used science to solve a problem or issue. This project demonstrates how science was used to solve problems and how science interacted with life, society, and the world. My inventor, Archimedes, used the catapult to save his city from being conquered. This was only one tool I used. I used works cited, books, internet websites, and my brain to complete this projects. Over all, the Human Ingenuity represents One World (Criterion A) in many different ways. ===



=== The Moon essay that we wrote in class was a projects that well-demonstrates Criterion B. We started out learning the material that we would use in our essay. Our class started with learning about the moon itself, and its craters. Next, we learned about the tides, and how they have "seasons". Finally, we wrote the essay and drew a beautiful picture of the moon in space. === === This essay demonstrates Criterion B very well, as I said before. In it, there is correct use of scientific language, and acknowledgement of the work of other. I used paper, the moon, books, computers, and works cited with MLA. ===

=== The Rock Presentation was an interactive project where we made examples of the rock cycle using resources around us. I was in a group with four other people, and we made a volcano erupt, showing the Igneous and Metamorphic rock cycle. This presentation shows all objectives for Criterion C. We used scientific language to explain what was happening as our volcano erupted. We applied scientific knowledge to find out what kinds of rocks we had to demonstrate. Lastly, we had t analyze and identify! This project required a box, rocks, paint, glitter, sand, soda, Mentos, Model Magic a recycled water bottle, a camera, a strip of fake grass, and fake trees. ===

=== The Fossils PowerPoint was a project that required a lot of research! First, I received a worksheet that told me what was required. Second, I had to research fossils and their types. Finally, I made and "decorated" my PowerPoint. This projects demonstrated one objective quite well. Throughout my research, I had to make several predictions (If this fossil was petrified, then it went through a certain process). I had to use many websites, PowerPoint, and Works Cited to complete this project! ===

=== The Words per Minute Scatter Plot is another interactive project that we use all year. First, I had to partner up and read a provided page as fast as possible for one minute. As I did this, my partner counted up the words I read. Then, I read 5 more times and switched with my partner. After we wrote down our data, We opened our journals and made our X-Y axis with numbers and words (shown right). Lastly, we drew the lies and colored them. I used both objectives in this project, especially when I made the graph! I used the information sheet, that I read off of, my science notebook, and my voice! ===

====== === The Science Lab Safety Project was very important to the school and the students. To complete this project, I had to start by finding the page the notes were on in my notebook. Next, I had to cut it out and tape/glue it into my Moon Journal. Lastly, my class read it over, took a test, and performed lab experiments using the new-found rules! I definitely learned how to perform both objectives in this project. I learned how to be VERY careful to the equipment that I was using, and to never disobey the rules. We did not work with live animals, but I did get to feed a turtle, and I knew that I had to follow every step correctly. The tools I used to complete this project were my notebook, scissors, tape/glue, and my reading skills! ===
