Criterion A The Human Ingenuity Essay For this project, we had to pick an inventor and research what they did(only on thing), how they did it, their environment at the time, how humanity benefitted from their invention, and write a five paragraph essay on it. We also made an index card with a narrative on one side, and a picture of their invention on the other. This project relates to Criterion A in the sense that if humans didn't have ingenuity, we could have really horrible lives, but since we do, we have found out how to cure diseases, make toasters, and go to the moon! In this project, we used computers and books to find our information, a index card, coloring utensils, Word, time, and our brains. Criterion B Works Cited For every project, we are supposed to cite our sources. We create a works cited page to document these sources. To do this, we take a citation slip, and find our information. There are different color slips for different types of sources. After we've found our information we fill out the slip. Then we alphabetize the slips and type them down in it's own page at the end of our project using MLA format. This project relates to Criterion B because we are aware of documenting our sources and using a recognized referencing system. For every works cited page, we use our information source, the citation slips, a writing utensil, the program your project is in, time, and our brains. Criterion C Science Test For this project, we had to study hard, and come to class prepared with a pencil and our brains. I chose this project for Criterion C because we had to recall knowledge (we weren't allowed to look in our books), use scientific knowledge to explain and solve problems, which matches the Criterion C objectives. We used the test, a pencil, time, and our brains. Criterion D The Moon Journal For this project, we were assigned to go outside every night and record the date, time, weather, a brief observation, and a sketch for a moonth (31 days). Mrs. Bratcher checked our journals every day to see if we did it correctly. We researched, investigated, predicted with an If, then hypothesis, and measured, which almost exactly matches the Criterion D objectives. I used a pencil, my moon journal, an I-pad, a computer, extra sheets of paper, staples, glue, my eyes, time, and my brains. Criterion E The Volcanoes And Earthquakes Map For this project, each of us was assigned a date, and on that date, we had to go on to a computer and find out if there had been any volcanoes that had erupted or earthquakes that had occured. If there happened to be one, we would mark it with little colored circles (volcanoes were red, earthquakes were green) on a world map and over a few months we collected and recorded this data. We collected and recorded the data using recognized units of measurement, and presented the data in a simple form.We used a computer, a world map, little red and green circles, tape, lines of latitude ( -- ) and longitude ( l ), time, and our brains. Criterion F The Rock Journal For this project, we were supposed to collect different rocks and identify what they are, their characteristics, where we got them, and when we got them. After that, we had to write a paragraph about each rock, and when compiled, created the rock journal. I used the materials and equipment safely (we had to wear safety glasses in my group because we had a Fourth of July popper in our presentation), and when out collecting the rocks, I respected the space of living and nonliving organisms (except the rocks we used in my journal!).The tools I used are my dad, his car, gas, my hands, books, money, a computer, a pencil, google, G-Mail, Word, time, and our groups' brains.
