how are renewable and nonrenewable rescorces alike and diffrent

2010-03-19T07:27:00.000-07:00

renewable rescorces and nonrenewable rescorces are alike because they are both rescorces they are diffrent because one of them are that they are not renewable and the other is renewable

EnergySources

2010-03-19T06:23:00.000-07:00

I learnd that nonrenewable resources can be created by earth or decomposers.Also, I learnd that windmills are machines to capture wind.Then,FRANK.V

resources

2010-03-18T10:18:00.001-07:00

today in science I learned the natural resources.One of the natural resources is the sun.The sun gives us light.Another resource is the air.We can use the air to breath.Plants is also a resource it gives us food water is somethig we could drink.Minerals help us get healthy and strong the last resource is soil it helps us plant plants

RODNEY

Natural resources

2010-03-18T10:18:00.000-07:00

Natural Resources are resources that come from nature.An example of a Natural Resource......WATER.Water we use to drink,swim,and clean.There are more Natural Resources in the world than only water ther's minerals also.

Jennifer P

Resources

2010-03-18T09:42:00.000-07:00

Resources are things that we use. For example, textbooks to learn or a car to travel.

ivan m

How can we use natural resources and how can we use them?

2010-03-18T07:19:00.000-07:00

Natural resources are resouces that nature provides like trees,oxygen,minerals,water,soil.They are very important,so we cannot use it up,take care of nature!

The body systems

2010-02-26T08:53:00.000-08:00

The students have been learning about different systems our body is
made up of.

Respiratory & circulatory systems

2010-02-22T09:16:00.000-08:00

What do you know about how the systems work together. Name 4 parts of
the respiratory system. How does the heart work?

the food chain

2010-02-18T08:12:00.001-08:00

Student display their understanding of the food chain by putting
animals in order by energy flow.

Decomposers

2010-02-18T05:57:00.000-08:00

The class is learning about the food chain. Our experiment was on the
job of decomposers.

water cycle

2009-05-01T10:24:00.000-07:00

I learned about the water cycle.There are different types of parts for the water cycle theres condensation,precipitation, and evaporation.For now that is what i could think about what we learned today.Thank you.

steps of the water cycle

2009-05-01T06:20:00.000-07:00

i learned today the steps of the water cycle. first, the sun shines onto the salt water or fresh water that makes it turn to water vapor. second, the water vapor goes up to the sky and condensates or, turns to liquid.third, the liquid can precipitate or like snow, rain or ice falls on earth.finally, the water stores in the oceans or rivers then the cycle starts all over again.

water cycle

2009-05-01T06:19:00.000-07:00

The water cycle is the cycle of water.The sun evaporates the water.Then it makes a rain cloud.The rain cloud then makes it rain and the water cycle starts again.The sun makes the water rise and fall.
The rain cloud only makes it rise.Evaporation makes the water fall.Precipitation swithes the water to the sun to arain cloud.Condinsation makes the water fall and then makes the water rise.

Water Cycle

2009-05-01T06:15:00.000-07:00

this water cycle is that it represents condensation and that it also
evaporration and it talks about precipitation in it and that is a water cycle.

the water cycle

2009-05-01T06:11:00.000-07:00

I learned about the water cycle the water cyle has three parts codisation, evaprotrtoin, and prosipataion.

water cycle

2009-05-01T06:08:00.000-07:00

i have learned about the water cycle.there are many steps to do it.the way that i do its by putting the precipatation that goes to the condensation that storges it to go do the evaporation in the heat of the sun.i have learned all these awesome stuff because mr.martin he has thaught me these stuff and they do it by by nature.they use the water for rain and if the beach,ponds,swamps,and all the other stuff if we could help clean it up it could store more stuff and make it a better place for us.

ivan m.

water cycle

2009-05-01T06:03:00.001-07:00

I have learned this week about water cycle. I learned about precipitation, condensation, and evaporation. Evaporation is when water evaporates, precipitation is when water falls from the sky, and condensation is when water groups up or gets together.

Brian L.

the water cycle

2009-05-01T06:02:00.000-07:00

the water cycle is a cycle that refills the earths fresh water. did you you know thst 97 percent of all the earths water is salt water? 1% of all the earths water is fresh water, the other 2 is frozen fresh water which we can not use. When it precipatates the aquifers are refilled with water. Hover our water is decreasing slowly each day it may become a problem.

systems

2009-03-20T06:26:00.000-07:00

it was really cool learning about the immune system, digestive system, and the nervous system it was really cool

gilberto e

Different systems

2009-03-20T06:23:00.000-07:00

The immune system protects your body. skeletal system holds your body so you wont fall. The digestive system breaks down food and it sends nutrients to your body. The muscle system lets u move also lets your bones move to their joints. The nervous system controls your body.
I loved learning about the systems.

Brian L

sytems

2009-03-20T06:17:00.000-07:00

Throught the past few weeks we have been learning about several body sytems. Like the Skeletalal syestem that helps us protect our organs and help us stand up. The eight main bones are Skull, Humerous, Radious, Ribs, Pelvis, Femur, Patela, and Tibia. The next sytem is the muscular which helps us move the bones at our joints. Their is the skeletal, smooth, and cardiac tissue. Then thier is the respiratory system that helps us breath. It begins in the mouth or nose goes through the trachea into the bronchial tubes to the air sacs then into the diaphram. Circulatory system is what pumps blood throughout all of our body.Parts are the heart blood vessels, veins,and arteries.The digestive system helps us break food ito tiny nutrients or body can use.Parts are th esophagus, mouth, stomanch, small intestine and large intestine.The nervous system is the system that tells all the other cell and systems what to do. Parts are the brain and spinal cord.The immune system protects all of your body from all types of diseases.

Adaptation's

2009-02-05T06:20:00.000-08:00

Many animal's have adaptations that help them each. Birds have feathers a box turtle has a hard shell, the quills of a porcupine.The rock ptamiran camoflouges with the changing season.For winter it sheds its feathers help it blend in with the snow.The canada geese migrate south at a speed of 60 MPH and can go as high as 8000 feet. The european frog has poison glands at the head of it so when a predator bites it the poison glands erupt and the poison kills the predator.

Bryan

adaptation

2009-02-05T06:16:00.000-08:00

I have learned alot today like what animals eat, what they use for protection, and what they blend in to but I also learned that animals use they're poison to kill other animals for protection and to eat the leftovers of the dead animal and I also learned that some animals blends to a different color each season like if it is winter it turns white, if it is summer it turns yellow, if it is spring it turns gray,and if it is fall it turns orange

Gilberto

Adaptations

2009-02-03T12:58:00.002-08:00

I learned that there are different kinds of adaptations.
Some adaptations are instinctive, behaveral, and physical.

Author:Richie

what we learned

2009-02-03T12:58:00.001-08:00

we learned about adaptations like behavioral adaptations and physical adaptations. like the butterflies theres one that mocked another cause it was looking like it. the elephant has a trunk so it can wash itself and eat and drink water. the camileon cammofloges so it can trick preditors.

tania and hannah

adaptations

2009-02-03T12:58:00.000-08:00

Woman's Suffrage

2009-02-03T06:16:00.000-08:00

Until Augost 18,1920 woman did not get the right to vote. But that changed. The league of woman voters or the "Ninetenth Amendment" gave woman the right to vote. This caused a series of things to occur. Ruth Bryan Owen was the first woman to join congress. When she first joined they would not recieve her but when she went again she was accepted.Ruth was the first woman to represent the U.S. as the ambassador of Denmark.Mary Menn Jennings was the wife of the governer William Sherman Jennings. She was also a leader for Woman's Suffrage.Fay Bridges was the first woman to vote in Florida.She voted in an election for the mayor of the city of Sneads.

animals

2009-01-30T10:39:00.000-08:00

I learned that most animals in the world are invertebrates.Invertebrates are animals that do not have a backbone.Arthropods are animals that with jointed legs.Vertebrates are animals with backbones.The brown garden snail is a mollusk that lives on land. Victoria

arthropods

2009-01-30T10:38:00.000-08:00

Animal groups

2009-01-30T07:22:00.000-08:00

The arthropod group is the largest group. Some are small. About less than 1 cm. Some are huge like the giant king crab. Invertebrates have 0 backbone. Some invertebrates are worms and octopus. They can change into a sqiggle or some other unique shape. Vertebrates have backbones and most are warm-blooded like humans and hawks. Warm-blooded creatures change temperature depending on the food that they eat. Cold-blooded creatures change temperature depending on what the weather is outside. Some cold-blooded animals are snakes, gators, crocodiles, and sharks. Mollusks have very, very soft bodies, so they have a shell to protect them. Mollusks include: snails, conches, and clams.

Conflicting Views

2008-12-03T17:23:00.000-08:00

This week in Social Studies, we studied about the conflict within the United States in the mid 1800's. Florida became a state in 1845.

1. STUDENTS, WHAT CONFLICT WAS AFFECTING THE FORMATION OF THE UNITED STATES DURING THE MID 1800's?

2. WHO WERE THE 2 PARTIES THAT WERE IN CONFLICT?

3. WHO WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT DURING THIS TIME?

Heat Transfer

2008-12-03T17:07:00.001-08:00

This week in Science class we'll be learning about how heat is transfered.

Heat transfers in 3 ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.

Conduction is when heat transfers by direct touch of an already hot surface.

Convecton is when heat transfers through means of vapor.

Radiation is when the heat from the sun warms up the Earth.

STUDENTS, WHAT OTHER ITEMS AROUND YOUR HOUSE ARE EXAMPLES OF CONVECTION AND CONDUCTION?

The Electromagnet

2008-11-16T12:51:00.000-08:00

Friday 11/14/08 the students used some materials to create an electromagnet. Once they created the electromagnet, they predicted how many paper clips it will pick up.

Students: tell your parents the materials you used and how an electromagnet works. Use the picture of an electromagnet to help you remember.

Variables & Control

2008-11-02T16:59:00.000-08:00

This picture shows an experiment about 3 plants that have been given different amount of water to find out which one grows best.

What is the term used for the 3 different amounts of water?

Florida's Climate

2008-10-11T06:08:00.000-07:00

This week in Social Studies we've been learning about Florida's climate, what things affect Florida's climate, and the reasons why people from all over the world want to come to Florida. Try and fill in the blank:
_________________: how high or how low the land is

_________________: the line that divides the world into the southern & northern hemispheres.

_________________: the amount of moisture in the air

_________________: the two bodies of water around Florida

STUDENTS:
Tell your parents why people from all over the world want to come to Florida.
Why is it important for others around the world to come to Florida.
Remember we discussed 4 reasons.

Hot Air Balloon!

2008-10-06T16:21:00.000-07:00

This video shows students the effects of matter changing phase. Changing phase simply means when matter changes from a solid to a liquid, or from a liquid to a gas. It can also change phases backwards from a gas to a liquid then to a solid. The follow video demonstrates this while at the same time keeping the students aware of the scientific method.

STUDENTS: Show of your learning skills by following the instructions on the video and asking your parents what they think will happen.

Florida's Aquifer

2008-10-06T15:36:00.000-07:00

What do you know about Florida's Aquifer? Do you even know what an aquifer is and why it's important to Florida?

I created this video to show students the parts of an aquifer, and to explain to them the importance of it.

STUDENTS: Tell your parents what you learned about aquifers. Remember, watch the video it you need to refresh your memory.

The Results Are In

2008-09-26T15:51:00.000-07:00

Here are the results to the polls you participated in.

What is a synonym for Density? weight was correct, 80% of the students got it correct. As a grade it equals a (B)

Where is Florida's Panhandle located? northwest is correct, 66% of the students got it correct. As a grade it equals a (D)

Which is not a property of Matter? physical is correct, 72% of the students got it correct. As a grade it equals a (C)

Students the next polls are in.

Florida's Bodies of Water

2008-09-26T04:59:00.000-07:00

Did you know that within Florida there are bodies of water. There are rivers, lakes, and canals. In addition, Florida is mostly surrounded by water. (students let your parents know the word which lets us know that Florida is mostly surrounded by water)

Students

What is the name of the body of water that is on the Atlantic Coast?

What is the name of the body of water that is on the Gulf Coast?

What is the name of the largest lake in Florida?

Florida's Regions

2008-09-16T05:12:00.000-07:00

In Social Studies we've been studying about Florida's 3 main regions. The students have worked on identifying what the three regions are. Let's find out if they've learned them.

Students:

What is ONE of Florida's region?

*remember the compare & contrast activity*

The Power of Experiments

2008-09-12T14:45:00.000-07:00

9/12/08

The class was put into groups to learn about density through experimentation. These were our materials & pictures of the students working.

Good Job on the experiments students. Here is your question to comment on.

How do you know that matter has high or low amount of density?

Properties of Matter

2008-09-11T12:18:00.000-07:00

In class today, we spoke about the Concepts of Matter. As a class we created a Concept Map to illustrate the 4 areas that we will cover about matter.

Students: Write one of the four concepts that we will be learning about.
***hint***look at your concept map.
