__Criterion A: One World__

For my Human Ingenuity project we had to write about an invention or development. We wrote an essay on the invention and we also drew a picture on one side of a note card and a paragraph on the invention on the back of the card. I chose Human Ingenuity for Criterion A because the invention solved a problem. My invention was the castle and it protected royalty from being killed. For this project I used a pencil, colored pencils, a note card, and an eraser.

__Criterion B:Communication in Science__

In the moon journal project, we monitored the moon over a 30 day period. We recorded our data in our notebooks. This is an example of Criterion B because we used scientific language frequently in our journal entries. We also drew pictures of the moon in our journals. The tools we used for this project were: a journal, a pencil, some colored pencils, ruler, an eraser and sometimes, a computer.

__Criterion C: Knowledge and Understanding of Science__

For the rock diorama project, we created a model of the rock cycle. We got to chose any substance we wanted to make the 3-D model. This project is an example of Criterion C because we used a lot of scientific language to describe our diorama. We also had people checking off how many different kinds of scientific language we used. The tools we used for this project were playdough, a poster board, contruction paper, water bottles, model majic, a shoe box, rocks, a computer, red pen, and lego mini figures. __Criterion D: Scientific Inquiry__

For the rock journal project, we organized ourselves into groups and searched for rocks. We each typed up our own journal entries on the rocks we found. Then we pooled together the four best rock journal entries in our group and used them to use our rock diorama. This project applies to Criterion D because we conducted an experient to examine the rocks' characteristics in detail. We used magnifying glasses and streak plates to examine the surface and interior of our rocks. For this project, we used a computer, magnifying glasses, streak plates, red pen, and rocks.

__Criterion E: Processing Data__

In the reading experiment we had to see how many words in a scientific passage we could read in a minute. We partnered up and made a chart for each other and then the partner that was not reading would moniter the reading partner. This project applies to Criterion E because we measured how many words each person could read in a minute.We used a pencil, a pen, a notebook, and we also had to partner up.

__Criterion F: Attitudes in Science__

We had a safety test in which we had to memorize several safety symbols from our textbook. Then we took a test. This applies to Criterion F because we had to memorize safety symbols.Criterion F says to work responsibly and safely with equiptment. The safety test showed me how to do that. Our materials included a pencil, a test, a textbook, scissors, and a journal. .
