Criterion A One WorldScience[|IMG_0565Human_Ingenity.jpg] [|IMG_0566Human_Ingenuity_picture.jpg] For the Human Ingenuity project I had to make a notecard about an inventor I chose. Once I chose my inventors, the Wright Brothers, I put facts that I researched about them on a notecard. I chose the Wright Brother because I'm interested in how they made the airplane. I had to draw their invention on the back of the notecard. This affected the way the entire world travels and communicates. This helped mankind travel all over the world. I selected this project because it shows how science was applied to solve their problems of travel. I used the internet for all my research and information. I also used a ruler to draw the picture of their airplane.

Criterion B Communication in [|IMG_0567Works_Cited.jpg] For all of my projects, I had to do a "works cited" page. The "works cited" is supposed to give credit to the author, publisher, or website. I have to fill out a yellow slip for the books I used and a blue slip for the websites I used. Once they are finished, I have to copy them onto a Word Document and use a hanging indent. I chose this project for Communication In Science because this is communicating to my teacher that I did the research and tell her about the authors and websites. I used "work cited" slips so that I got the format correct, I used the internet to make it neat and easier to communicate.

Criterion C Knowledge and Understanding [|IMG_0570Rock_Project.jpg] For the Rock Project, we made a model of the Rock Cycle. We used scientific language in our project to demonstrate our knowledge of the topic. I chose this for Knowledge and Understanding of Science because we had to use as many scientific words as possible. We used a shoebox, Playdough, paper towel rolls, hot glue gun, tape, and some museum putty to build the model.

Criterion D Scientific Inquiry [|IMG_0571Rock_Poster.jpg] For our Mineral Poster, we had to choose a mineral and research it. I selected Amber. I had to put down the luster, streak color, color, name, and fun facts about Amber. I chose this project for Scientific Inquiry, because this project involved a lot of research about minerals. I used three to four books, a large piece of paper, and markers to complete my poster.

Criterion E Prossing Data [|IMG_0572Phoneme_Exp..jpg] The Phoneme Experiment was about a paper filled with scientific facts. After I was given the paper, I was timed to read as many words as I could in one minute. I recorded the data and made a scatter plot. I picked this for Processing Data because I had to record and process the data by writing it down and making a scatter plot. I used the paper to read from, my pencil to record the scores, and my graph notebook to make the scatter plot.

Criterion F Attitudes in Science [|Blake_Engleman_Catalina_6.pptx] On Catalina Island, we had to have respect for the environment. In my Powerpoint presentation, Christian is picking up trash to keep it from harming animals. In this project, I had to share how to have respect for the environment on land and in the ocean. I chose this project for Attitudes in Science because it shows how to responsible for living and non-living things. For this project, I used Microsoft Powerpoint, my laptop, and my digital camera.
