                                              Week10 Lab/Lecture Description of what we did in the lab? In the lab this week we made rocks! Not really rocks though, fake rocks out of Starburst  We made two kinds of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.  I was in charge of the mini flame thrower, probably not a wise decision but I had fun in the process.  Sedimentary rocks are formed by pressure.  I squished one in my hand and Elle stomped on the other.  Metaphoric rocks are formed by heat and pressure.  I melted both and then Alexa squished them in her hands.  Igneous rocks are formed by heating up and then cooling down.  I melted both and we let one cool down by just sitting there and the other we dunked in cool water.  The big question addressed in the lab?  What is the earth made out of? What are the l...

                                              Week 9 Lab/Lecture Description of what we did in the lab? In the lab, I learned how the presidential election shows the old 100 million-year-old coastline. It is believed it is that way because there were more blacks in the area so they voted for someone that looked like them.  We also created a timeline of the whole universe, we had the Big Bang, then the creation of the earth, moon, animals, plants, and humans, and the creation of the moon.  We also then looked up the interactive we were using, 5 events that happened from the beginning of Earth to now.  The big question addressed in the lab?  What came first on Earth? Humans, dinosaurs, land plants, land animals, or the creation of the moon?  A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture. Took an exam.  Answer questio...

The model consisted of the sun, 4 inner planets, and the moon. We used a whiteboard for our sun, we just drew a giant circle. The four inner planets and the moon were made out of play dough. We placed them after we did calculations to place them at the correct distance from each other to replicate the solar system.  The big question addressed in the lab?  The big question we talked about in lab was 'How big is the Solar System?' And my oh my the solar system is HUGE.  A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture. In Thursday's lecture, we discussed the moon. We discussed to origin of the moon and how it orbits....

My group did the presentation on black holes. We also did some quiz questions to help us prepare for the quiz that comes after spring break.  The big question addressed in the lab?  We didn't have just one big question, we had a few questions we discussed that got us prepared for the ...
