Blog Post Week 11

 1. What did you do in lab today?

- This week in lab we talked about rocks and their layers. It was very interesting to use microscopes to see how these rocks looked in a magnified lens. I never thought rocks could be so interesting! 

2. What was the big question?

  Rocks and their Layers. 

3. What did you learn in Thursday's discussion?

- Displacement was the main focus of our discussion on Thursday. It was very interesting to see the different cans and sodas that would float or sink. It was cool to learn that in order to figure out the displacement you would fill the water to the top and then measure how much water has left the bin. 

Textbook Chapter 16

1. What did you learn?

- The main thing I learned was about the divergent and convergent plates. Converging plates are plates that are colliding together and diverging plates are plates that are separating from each other. 

2. What was most helpful?

- The most helpful section was also learning about the plates. The continental plates are converging plates. Learning about this helps understand the formation of mountains, volcanoes, and more. This was something I had a hard time understanding in theist. But now, it is easy to understand. 

3. What do you need more information on?

  - Something I need more information on would be the law of super position. 

1. What questions, concerns, and/or comments do you have?

I have no questions!!

 - Something we learned about this week was pollination. It was really cool to check in on our fast plants and use them for self pollination. We noticed that our plants were growing significantly! After checking in, we used dead bees to self pollinate these plants. We also did an activity where we learned about the turtles and their chance of living. That interactive activity was a ton of fun! - Prior to class, I knew about turtles and that they lay their eggs on the beach. I was not aware of how many eggs they lay at once, and I didn't know it was not in the turtles favor that they are going to survive! - I can apply this to my future teaching career by using the same activity we used to learn about turtles. I think it teaches a good lesson of for the students that the world can be very dangerous to animals. It was also important to learn about the impacts humans make and how difficult they make it for the animals.
