2/27 Rocks and Minerals

Surprise: I was playing the mineral mines game when I found out conductivity is a way to test a mineral. I knew t he measure of a minerals or any materials ability to transfer energy was a way to test a mineral, but I didn't know it was called conductivity. It was really surprising because I knew the definition just not what it is called. This teaches me how there may be more to what you already know, Example: You learn something in the third grade, 2 years later you find more to the information you learned 2 years ago (you learn). Summary: This week we learned about rocks and minerals.  We learned about the three types of rocks, sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. An interesting fact is that igneous rocks cool above and underground. If the igneous rock cools underground it is shiny and crystal like, but if it cools above ground it it bubbly and has holes. We also learned about how to test minerals. You can use many different tests like, hardness, luster, streak, density, cond

Circulatory System

Wikipedia Function- The circulatory system's function is to pump oxygenated blood all around your body. Extra- The Circulatory System transports blood, nutrients, and oxygen to your body. The circulatory system takes blood with carbon dioxide to the lungs. The lungs release the carbon dioxide. Oxygen poor blood goes from the right ventricle to the lungs. It goes through pulmonary artery. Blood rich with oxygen goes to the left atrium from the lungs. From the left atrium blood rich with oxygen goes to the left ventricle. Then it gets supplied to the rest of the body. Blood rich with oxygen leaves the left atrium. It then goes through the aorta while it is pumped to your body. From your body, blood poor with oxygen goes back to the right atrium. Then it flows down to the right ventricle. After that, the process begins again. Organs- heart-main part of the circulatory system, pumps blood to your body and keeps you alive lungs-replace  blood poor with oxygen with blood ri
