Identifying Minerals
In this lab I described five minerals properties they were Muscovite Mica,Fluorite,Quartz,Hematite and Potassium Feldspar.
Muscovite Mica is nonmetallic,colorless to yellow,is softer than 5.5,is cleavage and is non magnetic.
Fluorite is nonmetallic,colorless or variable,is softer than 5.5,is cleavage and non magnetic.
Quartz is nonmetallic,colorless or variable,is harder than 5.5,is fracture and is non magnetic.
Hematite is metallic,is metallic silver or earthy red,is softer than 5.5,is fracture and is non magnetic.
Potassium Feldspar is nonmetallic,is white to pink,is harder than 5.5,is cleavage and is non magnetic.
1.What did you enjoy most about this project and why? I enjoy the most making the video because my partner was like nervous and sometimes he said the wrong thing and then I had to erase the video and make it again,it was fun.
2.What was most challenging for you during this project and why? To make the writing part because I had to write every step that we did.
3.What new skill did you learn from doing this project? I learn to use the camera more.
4.Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Yes to add more detail in the background information.

Shaking Our World Project
For the Lithosphere I had to made 3 activities,they were Mini-Posters,Written and Verbal, for the Mini-Posters I had to made 3 I made one about Earth Interior and I wrote about the Earth Layers,Inner Core,Outer Core,Mantle and about Continental and Oceanic Crust,Hydrosphere,Lithosphere and about Atmosphere.I wrote other Mini-Poster about Plate Tectonic.The other Mini-Poster was about Continental Drift in this Mini-Poster I also wrote about Pangaea.In the Written activity I wrote about Tsunami and about Volcanoes to do this activity I watched two brainpop videos and I took notes on the important vocabulary and then I summarized each video and I created 5 quastions about each video.For the Verbal activity I watched two music videos about Plate Boundaries and Seismic Waves and then I listed and defined the important vocabulary from the videos and then I summarized the topics of each video.
For the Asthenosphere I did the demonstration lab about Convection Currents,to do this lab I used 5 cups, food coloring,a plastic tub,water,a cup with hot water,the hot water represented the Outer Core,the cold water represented the Crust and the food coloring represented the Magma.I also did a poem about Earthquake.
For the Mantle Layer I did the Exploration Lab about Continental and Oceanic Crust Density and the Ring of Fire. For Density of Continental and Oceanic Crust Lab I had to cheked the mass and volumen of Continental:Granite rock and Oceanic:Basaltic rock to get the density of each one. For the Ring of Fire Lab I used the World map to find the latitud and longitude of some countries.
Do you agree with the theory of Plate Tectonics? Why or Why not?
I am agree because Plate Tectonics moves and made natural disasters by making Plate Boundaries.
1. What did you enjoy most about this project and why? Doing the lab because it was very creative with all of the materials that we used.
2. What was most challenging for you during this project and why? to get tested by Ms.Kara because I get nervous when she asked the quastions to me and sometimes I forgot the answers.
3. What new skills did you learn from doing this project? I learn to work more in group because before I almost never share information to the group but doing the project they were times where I had to work in groups and share information and that help to improve my working in groups skills.
4. Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Yes to print the poem because I just did it in loose leaf.

Phases of the Moon Preoject
Vocabulary Words, Native Language and Definition
Waxing, Creciente} Is when the moon is getting bigger.
Waning, Disminuyendo}Is when the moon is getting smaller.
New Moon, Luna Nueva} Is when the moon is not visible.
Crescent Moon, Luna Creciente} Less than half of the moon is visible.
Quarter Moon, Cuarto de la Luna} Half of the moon is visible.
Gibbous Moon, Luna Gibosa} More than half of the moon is visible.
Full Moon, Luna llena} The entire moon is visible.
Summary:
Phases of the moon is the different shape of the moon this depend on its position in relation to the sun and earth, the moon have eight different phases they are new moon,waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent, the moon get light from the sun.
The Earth is affected by the movement around the sun because the season start because this movement because the sun rays hit the earth from different angles.
1.I enjoy most about this project when my group where moving the pictures in the video because first they were nervous and they make some things wrong and it was funny.
2.For me the most challenging was to make the plan about what we had to do because I didn't know how to start.
3.Doing this project I learn how to make a plan to give everyone in the group specific things to do.
4.Something that me and my group could do to improve the work is to practice more how to present the pictures.
