CriterionA- One World- In the process of our human ingenuity project we were given the task to find an inventor and discover what he or she innovated to help our world. I had Henry Ford the Model T Ford creator and his invention gave poor people or anyone acheaper, quicker way of transportation. This represents One World Criterion because Henry Ford’sinvention inspired more inventors to improve this a nd create what we have today. For this project we used Microsoft word, colored pencils, not ecards, and the internet. Criterion B-Communication in Scinece During our wonderful trip to Catalina we participated in a squid lab, in which we dissected a real squid. We first drew a diagram of the squid and wrote scientific language so we could learn the proper language to use. Next we labeled our page i n the camp’s format, which we had to do for every lab. We had to write in this specific order: the date, time, location, purpose, character trait, spiritual application, and weather. This helped us keep organized for further reference. That is why the squid lab fit criterion B. We sourced our information right at the lab and before the lab began we learned the scientific language needed so while dissecting the squid, we knew the terms. As we went deeper into the dissection we used scissors, sticks, and even our hands. I had a blast doing this project and getting dirty Criterion C-Knowledge and Understanding of Science- For Criterion C I picked my Rock Project in which we had to learn about the rock cycle and research different concepts of rocks. We then picked groups and chose 3 different to explain. After that we constructed diagram of a rock cycle, then put that into a 3D model of the real thing. This fits Criterion C because we used facts, concepts, processes, and models to explain the Rock Cycle. In this project we used writing materials, cardboard, cookies, candy, clay, glue, measuring utensils and pipe cleaners to assemble our project.

We recorded weather, conditions, sight, sound, date, and time. We wrote a description or our observation of the moon. We also had to draw a detailed picture of the moon and its surroundings. This represents Criterion D because we did moon observations,we made predictions, and we investigated. I used a thermostat, my co mputer, my journal, colored pencils, rulers, and a calculator. Criterion E-Processing Data- Concept Summar In the Phoneme experiment we first found a partner and the experiment 5 times over a 5-day period. We recorded the words per minute we read on the sheet. Next we drew a layout of the graph using the x and y axis. Then I labeled the graph and finally recorded thedata onto it. This fits Criterion E because we processed the date over a 5 day period and graphed the information. In this project we used pencils, pens, graph notebook, and Phoneme experiment sheet. Criterion F- Attitudes in Science- Protection Slide in Catalina PPT For our Catalina PowerPoint in one of my slides I talked about the importance of Kayak and snorkeling safety, which is useful when going to Catalina. W e had to work safely on these activities to keep others around us protected and to keep ourselves out of harm. In the PowerPoint I used my MacBook Pro, PPT, pictures I took with a camera, and my knowledge of safety. [|catalinePOWERPOINT-1.pptx]
