Cycle 2 Week 10
My Question Was:
How do you know that an object or substance has all three of the ways heat can transfer?
My Answer Is:
I am going to break it down first. You know you have conduction when you can feel the transfer of the heat by touching the object or substance. It's like when you walk on hot sand and your foot gets hot from the heat of the sand. You know you have convection when you see heat rising to a substance. Usually that object or substance will move in a continuous cycle like a lava lamp. A lava lamp has wax that sits at the bottom and when it heats up it goes to the top and when it cools it goes back to the bottom. The last one is radiation. Radiation is being able to feel heat without actually making contact with the source. A great example is the sun and how it heats the Earth even though the earth isn't touching or contacting with it at all. So how can you get an object that consist of all three of these well making fondue is just one example but another one could be right were your sitting; In your house. A house because radiation happens when the sun beams down on your house causing heat to travel inside. Conduction happens because the heat flows from one object to another. You might sit in a chair that is hot because of all the heat in the house. Last but not least convection takes place when heat is transferred when there is movement of the actual source of heat. so that is my answer I hope it was helpful. Please leave comments on what you think I could do to make it better or to make less more in my case.

Cycle 2 Week 9
Today class was about making a parachute that could hold the weight of a plastic egg and land in at least within ten seconds. The parachute could have made out of coffee holders, pipe cleaners,string,beads, and napkins. The goal is to use these things in order to make a parachute that follows the guidelines that I mentioned in the first sentence. My partner Jennifer and I plan to use the supplies to make sure our parachute is not only stable but not to heavy. We want to make sure our parachute has enough air resistance and doesn't have a lot of weight. Air resistance plays a large part and the size of the person or object plays a large role in the how fast it falls and it's efficiency.

Cycle 2 Week 8
My five months of blogging have really helped me. I've learned so many different things about science and so many different contents of science.Technology has helped me build my learning ability. Technology has helped me find new ways of creating a project or doing research. I did very well in being creative and finding very accurate and helpful information. I could have based some of my post on science more like my game post. I would like to ask questions to my followers. I had done it before but I did not get the results I was hoping for. Using technology has sharpened my computer skills and my reading ability. I have really been reading a lot more and doing more complex things.
Comment 1 (Bryce) Week 8: Good response, I like how you included what you learned from someone else.
Comment 2 (Ashley) Week 8: I think you did a lot of thinking on your questions . you answered them very well and gave good ideas. I think we should use the blogs to study.

Comments Ashley and Jennifer
Ashley: I really like your information and the bridge you chose was pretty cool. Great job.
Jennifer: You did I really great job. You gave very descriptive details. I really like you letter are in blue because I thinks it's cool that the bridge has a blue arch over it.

Cycle 2 Week 7
A famous bridge that I know of is the Rialto Bridge in Venice, Italy. The inventors were people like
Jacopo Sansovino, Palladio and Vignola. Another person that was said to have helped was the legendary Michelangelo. The Rialto is an arch bridge and it is made out of stone. The length of the bridge is 94.5 feet and that is 28.8 meters
Fun Facts:
The present stone bridge, a single span designed by Antonio da Ponte, was finally completed in 1591.
It was partly burnt in the revolt led by Bajamonte Tiepolo in 1310.
In 1444 it collapsed under the weight of a crowd watching a boat parade and it collapsed again in 1524.
