Splish-Splash!!!!

The other day in class we our teacher gave us a body of water to research for ou Tidal Area Reasherch Project.

1.) Tell us a bit about the area in your own words (about 75 words)
2.) Where is your area located? include:
          -Country/Provence or State/Body of water
          -Closest Town
3.) Find a map that showcases your area.
          - Reference this image:
4.) Interesting Facts (at least 5 bullet points, max 10)
5.) What is the tidal specifics?
          - Tidal Range? (How much does it change from low to high tide?)
          -Highest Spring Tide Level?
          -Lowest Neap Tide level?
          - How Often does the tide change? (Every 24 hrs, 12 hrs, etc)
6.) Find a picture of the area.
          - Reference this image:
7.) Create a QR code that links to YouTube Video about your area.
          - Use qrstuff.com

Water Cycle




Water Cycle
 
 
I'm finishing the qusetions from the last blogger.
 
5)  The scientific word for water cycle is Hydro Logical cycle.
 
6) The Molecules in the water are always moving

7)  Molecules in hot water move slower/faster than molecules in cooler water

8)  Water can evaporate/freeze even when it's not very hot


9) Water is constatly being Recycled

10) The frost on a glass is Condensation water

11) Evaporation is the Opposite of condensation

12) Water vapor must have something to Stick to in order for it to condense

13) Water vapor rises to the sky condenses and becomes Clouds

14) The precipitation falls from the clouds and Accumulates in ponds, puddles,oceans

15) All plants and animals need water to Live

 
 
 
 
Ocean Currents
 
 
-What is a current
 
its a river -like  stream of water that is moving  inside of  another, bigger, body of water
 
 
What causes a current
 
 
surface currents are caused by changes in  water temperature
 
-cold water sinks
 
-warer water rises
 
 
What causes a current
 
deep water
 
current are caused by changes in water temperature
 
cold water sinks
 
warmer water rises
 
 
 
What causes a curent
 
 
deep water 
 currents by changes in sainity (how muc h salt is in the water)
 
high salt =  heavier
 
low salt =lighter

Water Cycle

Today in Science Class we watched a video all about the water cycle and answered quesions from the video. The questions were...

1. Water can be a liquid, solid or a _gas_
2. The sun's  energy / position changes water rom a luiqid to water vapor
3.Precipitation can be rain, sleet, snow or hail
4.Water evaporates rom plants, rivers, oceans

To Be Contiued...

Water Systems

Today we started our new unit "Water Systems"
 The three main Topics we are going over are, Intruduction to water, Water drainage and Water treatment. We made a K:W:H:A:L:Q chart to learn about water.
Some of our K's include,
K: Water is liquid, Nt solid, different types of water,Salt,Fresh and Tap, To make water clen you have to boil it.
Some of our Wants to lern abut water are,
W: Why is ocean water salty, how is fresh water fresh? What happens to water in space?
We actually watched a video from Chis Hadfield in space! He explained to us what happens when you wring out a towel soaked in water. When he rung out the towel, the water created a "Tube" like forcefield around the towel and is hands. Then when he let go the water stuck to his hand, so that he could wash his hands.
We went over the parts of the Water Cycle one by one.
Accumulation: The process in which water pools in large bodies. Ex) Oceans,Ponds,Seas,Lakes
Condensation: The process in which water vapour in the air turns into liquid water, Condensing water forms clouds in the sky.
Evaporation: The process in which liquid water becomes water vapour. Ex) Water Vapourizing from puddles, lakes
Precipitation: The process in which water falls from th sky. Ex) Rain, Snow, Hail
Surface Runoff: Any rain, snow, melt or other water that flows in surface streams,rivers or canals
Transpiration: The process in which some water within plants evaporates into the atmosphere. This is why it can feel muggy in a rain forest.

STUDY TIME

Be able to define, and give an example of, each of the forma of light discussed in class
-biouminesence
-incandescence
-phosphoresence
-fluorescence
-chemiluminsence 
 need to lable the eye
concave-convex
-define each
-how does each light bend
-how wil you look

MATHLETE Friday :)

MATH problems:
Q: 
A number of children are standing in a circle. They are evenly spaced and the 7th child is directly opposite the 18th child. How many children are there altogether?
A:
22; in half of the circle there are 11 children because 18-7=11. Multiply 11x2=22!
Q:
We are brave sailors always riding the sea
We are less than one hundred but as tough as can be
We sleep in three bunkers on top of each other
Our numbers double from one bunker to another
We dance in joy all through the night
In groups of fives under the moonlight
Last night twelve of us were swallowed by waves
Leaving alive more than two third of the braves
Still we continue the journey refusing to fail
So tell me how many of us are left to sail?

A: 
58 sailors are left.

1. From line 2: Total number of sailors is <100.
2. From lines 3 & 4: Let number of sailors sleeping in bunker 1 be X, then number of sailors sleeping in bunker 2 is 2X and in bunker 3 is 4X,
i.e. Total number of sailors = X+2X+4X = 7X and thus it is a multiple of 7.
3. From line 6: dancing in groups of fives means the total number is a product of 5.
4. From lines 7 & 8: 12 of the sailors drowned in the sea, leaving more than two third of the sailors alive, so the total number is > 36 (3 * 12).

Summing up all the above given information, the total number of sailors is <100 and >36, it divides by 7 and 5, which adds up to the total number of 70 sailors.

Since 12 of the 70 sailors died in the sea, there are 58 sailors left to continue the journey.

Q:
A merchant can place 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes into a carton for shipping. In one shipment, he sent a total of 96 boxes. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship?
11A merchant can place 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes into a carton for shipping. In one shipment, he sent a total of 96 boxes. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship?
A:
11 cartons total 
7 large boxes (7 * 8 = 56 boxes)
4 small boxes (4 10 = 40 boxes
11 total cartons and 96 boxes
JOKES:
  • Cakes are round but Pi are square.
  • Why did the math book look so sad? Because it had so many problems.
  • How can you make time fly? Throw a clock out the window!
  • Why do plants hate math? Because it gives them square roots.
  • What do mathematicians eat on Halloween? Pumpkin Pi.
  • Why did the ath book kill himself? Because nobody understood him

Questions... just behind the mirror

WE HAD SOME QUESTIONS.....


1. Name the type(s) of mirror that forms...
     (A)A real image?
            Concave mirrors. Only a concave mirror can create a real image, due to the light rays converging, meaning they actually recombine back together.

     (B)A virtual image?
          Convex mirrors. The image is always seen behind the mirror.

     (C)A virtual image that is larger than the object?
           Concave mirrors can make the image larger.

     (D)A virtual image that is the same size as the object?
           Convex mirrors make you look the same size.
             (Virtual image- An image located where reflected rays only seem to originate) 

2. Imagine you have sprayed a bowl with shiny, reflective paint.
     (A)Which part of the bowl serves as a convex mirror?
           The part of the bowl that doesn't hold the food.

     (B)Which part of the bowl serves as a concave mirror?
           The part of the bowl that holds the food.

     (C)How do you hold the bowl to see an inverted image of you?
           You hold the bowl

     (D)How do you hold the bowl to see a larger, upright image of you?
          You hold the bowl so the base is facing you

     (E)How should you hold the bowl to see a smaller, upright image of your face?
          You should hold the bowl so you are facing the part which the food goes into.

3.In a funhouse, which kind of mirror would you use to...
     (A)Make yourself look taller
           Convex mirrors          
    
     (B) Make yourself look shorter
           Concave mirrors
