Criterion A- One World

In the Human Ingenuity project we talked about people who lived in the past, but helped the world until today. I wrote a five paragraph essay on Omar Khayyam, the inventor of the calendar. After the paragraphs we drew a picture of our persons invention. This project demonstrates Criterion A because it helped society. It helped us keep track of important dates and is used daily. I used the internet and a computer, also I used color pencils and an index card for this project.

Criterion B- Communication in Science

For the mineral poster we were assigned a mineral, then we researched information on our mineral. After we had our information, we made a poster showing the information on the mineral. We used scientific information we gathered. I used a couple books on minerals to get information. This demonstrates Criterion B because we used scientific language and we presented our minerals and we made a works cited to document information we got.

Criterion C- Knowledge and Understanding of Science

In the Catalina Field Notes we took detailed notes on every class we took in Catalina. This demonstrates Criterion C because we understood what was being taught to us, then we reflected upon our experience and what we learned in that class. For the Field Notes I used my graph science notebook and information and displays in the classes

Criterion D- Scientific Inquiry

In the crater lab, we filled a tin pie mold and layered it with different materials. We used cocoa powder, sprinkles, and flour. Then we dropped a rock from different heights to show the impact a crater would make, but in a smaller scale. we dropped it and saw the ejecta rays that made the rock made. I believe this project shows Criterion D because we questioned what would happen when we dropped the rock and then we made a hypothesis prior to the experiment. We used the ingredients for the pan and we also used a yard stick to measure the distance of the rock we dropped.

Criterion E- Processing Data

In the famous mountains bar graph,we collected data about the highest mountains in the world. Then we ordered them from least to greatest. After we made a data chart, we made a bar graph. This shows criterion E because we collected and recorded data using measurements, in this case feet. In this project I used my graph notebook and a data sheet Mrs. Bratcher displayed to us with the mountain information.

Criterion F- Attitudes in Science

In the safety in the lab we learned about how to be safe when doing a scientific investigation. There are many different ways of being safe and having a great positive attitude. This shows Criterion F because it shows working safely and carefully with materials and equipment. Also because you have to work responsibly with living and non-living environments and organisms. For this lab we used a worksheet that had many different types of scientific rules and safety rules.
