The things in learned fom science
I enjoyed Astronomy because it was about space.And see saw a lot of space photos. The thing I really enjoyed the most was the Big Bang theory.Because of a molecule or something blew up to make the universe. And also how it is still expanding today.
There was only two thing I like in weather and climate. That was cloud formation because I always wondered how clouds were formed.And I also enjoyed the lab where we got sand and water to see which one got warmer quicker. Also to see which one would cool down faster.
I didn't really like geology. Because all we did was look at rocks and i dont like to look at rocks.But other than that it was ok.
I had a lot of fun with weathering and erosion.Because of the pod cast we did for a couple weeks and when we showed the class what we did.
I didn't really enjoy earths waters because of the research we had to do.On our separate topics and how we had to comment on someones blog post about their water and presenting our topic in front of the class.
I thought eighth grade science was a lot of fun. And all of what we learned and all the work we did was worth it. But over all it was a pretty good year in science.

Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs both get there water from the Rocky Mountains.But Manitou Springs basically gets its water from manitou springs reservoir with 75% of its water from snow.The water that Colorado Springs receives travels more than 200 miles.The water is stored in water tanks in Mesa and Crystal Hills.

Water Cycle Activitie
1. What is the water cycle?
The water cycle is when water vapor is evaporated from oceans,rivers lakes, ect. That is when water goes together into the sky and makes precipitation.Into lakes, rivers, oceans,ect.Then the cycle goes on and doesn't end.
2.Does the water cycle have a beginning or end?
The water cycle doesn't end because the cycle keeps on going because of evaporation and evaporation makes precipitation so the cycle keeps on going.
3.Starting with a puddle on a sunny day, describe how water might move through the water cycle and eventually fall back as rain.
Well on a sunny day the water would would rise up and make evaporation that would turn to precipitation.

Annotated Bibliography
http://www.solarpanelinfo.com/
On this web site I learned that you can reuse solar energy.I also learned that there was two types of solar energy cells solar cells and photovoltaic cells. And how solar power works and how it saves electricity. I also learned how the the sun gives off electricity.
http://www.solarhome.org/solarpanels.html
On this web site i learned that carbon admissions would decrease.And a green energy source.Also how were using all of the coal.
http://www.solarenergy.org/resources/youngkids.html
On this web site i learned that solar panels. Can conserve energy and renew energy so you can use it over again.And also learned that there were endless ways to use solar energy.Like we can use the sun's energy to heat things like our houses, the water in our houses, the food in a solar cooker, and so on.

On this web site I learned that solar panels can save you money every month. Up to 75% a month. And how solar panels and energy work. Also how solar panels help save over a hundred or thousands a dollars a year.

solar power
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels are devices that can make light into electricity. The average person should get solar panels because it would save electricity and the person who has solar panels would save on there electricity bills.
The worst thing that can happen with solar panels are that if people didn't have solar panels would be that there paying more money for their electricity bill a month.
The best thing that can happen with solar panels are that they can save you money and renew energy.

Penny Lab
In this activity,we took a penny and a plastic dropper and put water on the penny till the water fell off the sides. In this experiment i predicted to have ten drops till the water fell off the sides. But when I was dropping water on the penny I got seventeen drops on the penny before the water fell off the sides.

Greenland Ice caps
In Greenland, there are many icecaps that cover the surfaces of the water. These are slowly starting to melt. As a sailor, I have come out here to see the rate of the melting of the ice caps. As I look around they seem to be getting very small. They are melting very fast which is going to cause the water level to rise a great deal. As a sailor I wonder what the water level is going to be as I observe the ice caps. Looking around, it is very cold and there is mostly just ice and water. There is mountains and land but this is the ocean. There is mostly marine life under these ice caps such as tropical fish.The ice is created form fresh water and then under neath is saltwater and ocean. If the water level were to rise from the melting of the ice caps in Greenland, this could cause the Earth to become much cooler. This would occur because of the water level rising and cooling the air. This envrionment helps marine life to survive and live in the ocean but it is hard because of the very cool and chilly waters. This reveals that Greenland's waters are coloser to the north and farther from the equaitor because the ice caps that rest on the waters of Greenland.

Earthquake Webquest Day 1
Earthquakes usually occur around coastlines in Japan. They also occur oftenly around the pacific ocean.And the geographically is the East Coast of Japan
This happens because Japan is on a fault line. When the plates slide against each other it causes an earthquake.
The area where earthquakes most often occur is an area located in the Pacific Ocean called the "Ring of Fire."
The closest earthquake to Manitou happened in Denver. The level of magnitude wasn't strong enough for the citizens of Manitou to feel the earthquake up in Denver.
The earthquake I picked was off the East Coast of HONSHU,JAPAN. The magnitude of this earthquake was 5.1.
This earthquake caused a tsunami on the East Coast of Japan.The focus point of the earthquake is 9.9 miles deep into earths crust.
To keep safe in a earthquake you need to get as low as you can,get shelter like hide under a table,chair or bed.Or go to the basement and if your trapped down there you might want to have food down there already and water.All in all that is how you can protect your self if there is a earthquake.
