HW

1) There are different kinds of natural disasters. Some are natural and some are human made. For example Earth quakes are natural. Also it happens almost every day in different countries. They are usually not too strong, but humans harming the Earth so it does stronger earthquakes.

2) I think it is really good because it helps understand what you are learning and has many details in it. Also it's fun for example make a poster or a video.

What role of the army.



I think army's role is to protect citizens of their country. Army can be really good but also harmful. It usually depends on country's leader. Some countries have powerful army and some have less powerful. Since almost everyone have democracy. They have army to keep their citizens from terrorist usually. Also we need army for people that are having natural disasters like an earthquake, army flies to the place to safe people. That was my opinion about what is role of the army.

Using the Web Quest provided to you by Miss Booth, conduct research through the hyperlinks you are given to investigate the man-made and natural threats to the environment.

  You must then decide for yourself if each example
           is man-made, natural, or if it could be a little bit of both.

Circle the correct answer:
A Natural Disaster is:        Man-made      Naturally occurring             Both
If you picked both, explain why. : naturally occuring_because__its happened by it self._________________________

Nutrient Runoff Pollution is:     Man-made     Naturally occurring          Both

After you have finished your analysis, you must list specific examples of each threat to the environment that you have read about, heard about or experienced in first person.  Think about things you may have seen in a newspaper or heard on the evening news, things we may have talked about in class.  If you are having difficulty, feel free to do some of your own research on the Internet.

NASA: The Carbon Cycle [720p]

What have I learned today.

I've learned what is carbon cycle and how it works. First, animals breathe oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Then carbon flies to the tree or a plant. Then the tree make an oxygen that we breathe. Then we started to polute it even more by building towers and big cities.Then it's all starts all over again. I also have learned that polar bears, pengins and other species are dying because of global warming. So to stop it the things you need to do are: ride a bycicle instead of cars, recycle,turn off the lights when you leave etc. Bye.

Burglar alarm


We have started our burglar alarm. It's a shoebox that you make a circuit in. It is pretty hard but I almost finished. We also need to decorate it inside and outside. You need 5 switches to be connected and working.
Also you will need a light bulb, battery, and many many wires.
Buzzer is the funniest thing. It's buzzing when you connect it to the battery. We are using our school's staff such as wires and batteries, buzzer, motors. Sometimes you need to insulate your wires. It's really hard to strip it. And it's cool too.
