Amandas Science year 2008-2009

First thing we did in science was astronomy. My favorite blog post was Earth,Moon,Sun slide show it was my favorite because I liked learning about the different eclipse and when they occur. Also I thought learning about how the earth rotates was very interesting.The best part was learning how the sun was formed.I also got to learn different things about slide show I never new. I learned how to put pictures on the slide and adjust them. Also how to put a picture as the background of a slide.

I never new that there is different types of smog and fog until we got into weather and climate. I did photochemical smog that was caused by pollution.I never new how bad pollution could get in our cities and how bad the smog really was. There were many other different types of fogs to that was worse then photochemical smog and how different the fog was to it.

My favorite geology project was we got to do the scratch test. Our teacher gave us a few rocks and we had to figure out its hardness level.It was cool to feel around the different types of rocks. It was also fun to see if i was right on the hardness level. I think i learned more about the different types of rocks and why some were softer than others. I thought it was interesting to that the diamond is the hardest rock i never new that.

The bajing river was a lot of fun. I learned the use for dams and why there made. I learned about a different cultures water and why there dam was built. The three gorges dam was built so the flooding wouldn't happen in villages. It was cool t learn how they built the dam. The dam wasn't used like all other dams either.We had comment on someone else blog about a different subject. I looked at a blog about the jaws wave. It only happens once a year. i saw some pictures of it and thought it was very pretty.

Project management was the funnest of all.I have never felt like i was a leader in groups like that.It made me more confident,and to do other things like student council. I also got to talk to other student i never got to talk to. I manged to different groups one who did solar panel energy and another who did steam pollution.I learned about solar calculators and cars. i thought it was very interesting.I also learned how much steam pollution is a problem and different ways we can make a difference to help reduce it.
