Earth Day

3 technologies that the school plans to use are rainwater collections, geothermal A/C and solar photovoltaic power systems.

Rain water collections are when you collect water from when it rains and use it to water your garden or flowers. Geothermal A/C is getting heat from underground. Solar photovoltaic power systems are when you get electricity from the sun.

The core issue that I chose is recycling and waste reduction.

The big problem with this issue is that junkyards are filling with things that could have been recycled. An exampl would be the computers in the junkyards that leak toxic waste in to the ground.

To fix this problem I could start to recycle. I have not been recycling and I could also encourage my family and others to recycle. I could get plastic items and paper and recycle those. Another thing I could do is encourage my family to get eco friendly cars and drive less. I think all of these things could help the environment.

Hurricanes

Hurricane Iris
Category 4

Hurricane Iris started as a tropical storm on October 4, 2001. It went from the eastern Caribbean, to Jamaica, and then to Belize where it became a category 4 hurricane. When it made landfall on Belize, it quickly weakened.

There were a total of 31 deaths, 20 in Belize, 8 in Guatemala, and 3 in the Dominican Republic. Hurricane Iris caused severe damage to parts of southern Belize

My Blog

My best blog was blog number 6. That is my best blog because I got to be creative and make the wordle. I liked how I got to think of different ways to make it.

I think that I deserve a 100 because I did all of my blogs and I did them correctly.

My favorite topic was Chapter 9 with the plate tectonics. That is my favorite because I understood it very well and I got a 96 on the test that I took on it. I learned more about Pangaea and how the continents moved. I thought that it was interesting that all the continents fit together like a puzzle and how they moved to where they are today. I wonder if the continents will really move together again in 2 million years?

An astroid wiped out the dinosaurs

It's official: Astroid wiped out the dinosaurs. Published by LONDON (Reuters)

"A giant astroid smashing into Earth is the only plausible explanation for the extention of the dinosaurs."

I agree with the thesis because it is the only explanation that makes sense. There is no other good reason. The astroid is the only explanation that I have heard of for the extention of dinosaurs, so I believe it.

African American inventions

1. The scientist and discipline that I chose are engineering and Meredith C. Gourdine. Meredith was responsible for a technique called Incineraid that removes smoke from buildings.

2. Lonnie Johnson invented the super soaker
A.C Richardson invented the insect destroyer gun
Granville T. Woods invented the roller coaster

3. I chose Jan Ernst Matzeliger and he invented the shoe lasting machine. This machine connected the upper part of the shoe to the sole which was done by hand. This machine changed the shoe making industry because it allowed more shoes to be made.

Geologic periods and rock layers

1. Cambrian, ordovician, silurian, devonian, mississippian, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary, and Quaternary.
