(Mekka): Good answer . This was very helpful.

(Bashir):
It seemed like your question was unclear ands your answer didn't have a lot to do with what our topic is about.

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.

This is fondue:

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.

Comments
(Jennifer) : I'm glad you have faith in our project and your explanation was great.
(Bashir) : You had a good explanation,but you had a few spelling errors.

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.

Week 6 Prompt (Bryce)

I like how you related the electrical engineer to things that you enjoy.

Week 6 Prompt (Bashir)

I think you did okay but I would suggest spell check.
Engennering = Engineering
Trechnology = Technology

Week 6 Prompt

From Discover Engineering I learned that there are many kinds of engineering. There's one that we all might be familiar with called computer engineering. Computer engineering is the design, maintenance,and the construction of computers and other computer controlled equipment. Another on that really caught my eye was Agriculture and Biological engineering. These two forms of engineering deal with advancing agriculture and farming.


The career I would like to do is become a Biomedical engineer. I think this study might be most helpful because I want to be a pediatrician. Biomedical engineering is the study biology and medicine to strengthen the technologies related to health care. You can produce medical diagnostic machines and artificial organs. I really would enjoy doing this for a living.

Week 5 2nd Prompt (Furdois)

you did good explaining how the test felt but I think you should have focused more on the blogging.

Week 5 2nd Prompt (Tim)

Good job. I really like how you related it to how people chose to express the ways they learn.

Cycle 2 Week 5: Blogging in Schools

Now a days schools are using blogs to not only get their students prepared to use the different technology that high school requires. Schools are also finding how much their student is learning inside and outside of school. Schools can also get their students opinions on ideas through blogging.

Blogging is also a great to get  helpful criticism. I know that when students and teachers comment on my blog and give feedback it just makes my next blog post better. some ideas I found were ones like adding a picture for more detail or writing the resources so people can see the website you got information from themselves.

Some ideas I have is to try to make some things that you blog about come to reality. so for example if you have an experiment in your post like the lava lamp experiment. Try creating it and explaining what you did or how it looked. If you can take a picture of what you made or find a picture on the Internet of the same experiment.

Week 5 Prompt (Khyla)

Great job you really gave clear examples and great reasoning.

Week 5 Prompt (Bashir)

I think you did okay but you should have given more examples or elaborated.

Cycle 2 Week 5: My Blogging

The technology we use in class has really helped me learn about all the material I needed for the NJ ASK. Blogging has made me a better thinker and I have added new words to my vocabulary. Blogging has helped my writing by giving me more information about science and how I should write my responses to a scientific question. Blogging has helped me on the NJ ASK because during the course of all my blogs I have done a lot of research and a lot of positive feedback from my teammates that helped me answer my questions. All the sites like iGoogle and Gmail have made it easier to communicate with others. These tools have also helped me learn about all the ways you can produce or create a project and work with a partner without being next to the person. All of this has really helped me progress in school and do well on my NJ ASK.

Comment2(Michael)Week4

You did a good job. I would suggest spell check and you didn't really list the kind of science being used.

Week 4 Prompt

The video I watched was called "ARTFusion". The video was about how art can relate to science. Art has a lot to do with color and colors include color pigments . Color pigments are big part of science because they are one of the substances that help make the color of our skin. In the video a teacher by the name of Dennis Wilson said that when your talking about a painting your talking a bout the way that color and light react. He also said that it has a lot to do with physics. From the video I learned that paint had color pigments in it. I thought pigments only had something to do with the coloring of our skin , but since I've seen the video I now know what I didn't know before.

Comment1(Mekka)Week4

Good job Mekka.I would just suggest using spell check next time.

Comment2(Karina)Week3

This is the comment I gave to Karina's post : Great answer. I definitely know th difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse now. Keep up the good work.

Comment1(Bryce)Week3

This is the comment I gave Bryce's post : Good job. I think you gave a great answer. You should have typed the question so your reader know's what your talking about.
