Criterion A: One World For our Human Ingenuity index cards, we had to choose an inventor to research. I chose Thales Miletus and he was the first philosopher. He used to have a school and he taught children all about philosophy. When we were done researching, we drew a picture on one side that represents the inventor’s invention on one side of the index card. On the other side, we wrote facts about them and their invention. This is an example of the criterion A because he was one of the first to study nature and his theories helped the world understand more about the Earth. He helped the world by giving them knowledge and he affected the world in a positive way. We used the computer, books, and an index card.

Criterion B: Communication

=
For our moon journals, we had to go outside every night and look at the moon. Along with drawing a sketch of it, we had to descride what we say with great detail and scientific language. We also had to include the date, time, and what number lunar observation it was. I chose this project because we had to use scientific and draw a picture and communicate through it. During this investigation, I did not use any technology besides sometimes a computer for when we couldn't see it and a telescope. I also used my moon journal, a pencil, and a flash light.=====

Criterion C: Knowledge and Understanding of Science
During our rock observation lab, we had to find things about rocks. We had to find its name and what type of rock it is classified as by it's color, texture, and other information. We also had to draw a sketch of the rock. This project shows my understanding and knowledge about rocks and how to classify them and find what type of rock it was. To do this project, I used my senses like my sight and touching the rocks. To find more details Isometimes used a magnifying glass.

Criterion D: Scientific Inquiry For our native flora and fauna quilt, each student chose a plant or animal to research, but it had to be nativtoro endemic to Catalina Island. We had to find the Scientific name, the common name, the size and its habitat. Once we had the information, we printed it out with a picture of the animal or plant. We then took it to school and drew it, and made a poster that was then hung outside of the classroom. This connects to criterion D because we had tocollect data on our own at home and where we had to organize our data and make a poster. I used my computer, my pencil, colored pencils, and glue to finish my project.

Criterion E: Processing Data The key concept summary graph was constructed out of data that we collected for about three weeks. We had to read a key concept for a minute per day. When the minute was over, we stopped and counted the total amount if words we read. If we missed pronounced or skipped a words, our partner who was following along would put a check over it and not would count.each week we would read a different summary. When the three weeks were over, we graphed the numbers to see how much we improved over that period of time. We labeled each line plot according to its summary and colored each one a different color. This connects to criterion E because we had to collect and organize data in line plot form. For this project, we used the key concept summary papers, our graph books and colored pencils.

Criterion F: Attitudes in Science Safetysymbols in science re symbols that we had to study. First, we located the page where the safety symbols were and tore it out. We then cut off the access paper and glue it into our moon journal. We had to study them and take a test on the ones that we needed to know. This relates to criterion F because it taught us how to work responsibly and safetly in the lab. For this project, we used our science text books, our moon journals, glue, and scissors.
