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...

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...

Surprise: I was surprised to find out that plasma is a state of matter. When I was reading about matter it really shocked me when it said that plasma is a state of matter. It was surprising because even though I knew there were more than three states of matter(solid, liquid, and gas),  it still shocked me because I have heard of plasma just not as a state of matter. I can learn that there might be more to what you already know. Summary: This week we learned more about matter. We learned about the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose-Einstein). We also learned about atoms (what makes up matter). As well as that we learned slightly about compounds and mixtures. We learned a little about the periodic table too. Now I know so much more!!! Backward-Looking: I knew a little about this topic before we started. Now I know that there are 5 states of matter instead of 3. Now I know it's not only solid, liquid, and gas, but there is Bose-Einstein and plasma too. I al...

Surprise: I was at home and then I heard the doorbell ring. When I looked outside I was so shocked because it was a present for me. It was a beautiful doll. It was so surprising because I thought I already got all of my gifts. This applies to real life because you never know what's coming (good or bad). Summary: This week we started off with reviewing matter with a Bill Nye video. Then, the rest of the week we continued with all the experiments. Even though it wasn't an M&M, it was powders, it was still quite fun. I am really looking forward to finding out what the unknown powder is. Backward-Looking: I have really gotten better at experiments. I know how to prepare and conduct them. I knew how to I am just getting more and more accurate when I conduct my experiments. Not only that my group has gotten better at distributing the jobs of preparing and conducting an experiment. Now we each get to do something at least once maybe even more. In ward-Looking: This week I e...

Surprise: This week I was surprised when I saw that "the line" wasn't a special property of M&Ms.  When we were conducting our experiment and then found our results I was shocked. I really thought "the line" was a special property of M&Ms because of my past experiences. It applies to real life, for example, when someone assumes that salmon will taste good because the last time they ate salmon it was good, but this time it turns out to be disgusting. Summary: This week we continued with doing experiments with M&Ms and it was really nice. At the end of the week we had a note taking day and learned more about matter. I learned the three states of matter solid, liquid, and gas. Then I learned about physical changes in matter tear, cut, fold, written, liquid, solid, gas, mixture, and solution. After that, I learned about chemical changes in matter burning, rusting, cooking, and color change. This week I learned a lot more about matter and its properties...
