Thesis statement

THESIS STATEMENT:


Topic: Medicine

Claim: 

Medicine has changed a lot, one of the biggest, most effective reasons is technology. Now, because of technology you can take medicine quicker because their are serums,also Now there are different techniques to take a surgery, which work accurately. Lastly now if you lose a body part in a way there are robotic parts which can connect to your brain and function just like a normal body part! Lastly now there are new and improved ways which can make humans live for longer!!



  Research questions: 

• How do robotic body parts help human's
•what medicines are most effective
•is medicine effective and expensive

4 corner activity reflection

During this activity, many things suprised me. Especially when people disagreed with my opinion. But later when We had a mini debate, I wasnt as suprised because I had listened to what they thought and why. And some times I wasnt really suprised with other people's opinion. 

        For example, when  Mrs.kasal said "climate change is caused by people" I knew exactly where to go out of the four corners. But then when I heard what other people thought, My changing completely changed. 

      I learned alot during the activity we did yesterday. I communicate with different perspectives by understanding there thinking then trying to argue with it.

FINAL REFLECTIONS

Throughout this unit, I have learned a lot about Erosion. Now I know all about it! At the beginning of this unit, I had no idea what Erosion even was. Now I have learned beyond the basics. I am so glad that I learned about Erosion because

ESSENTIAL QUESTION: 1. Why does our Earth's surface look the way it does?
                                                

ANSWER:1. The earth's surface looks the way it does because of  EROSION, water and rocks and also just landforms,earthquakes, tsunami's and basically all NATURAL Disasters! In this unit, I learned a lot about how erosion is caused, and how it is caused and what makes it the way it is. I have always wondered how earthquakes happened and just what makes an earthquake and every other natural disaster, a BIG DISASTER!! Now... I KNOW... YAYAYYAYAAY :) I have learned about deppsosition aswell. Especially in our Wadi field trip! I know that the Wadi was a big ocean full of sea animals. We saw some fossels aswell in the wadi. They were about one-million years old! It was amazing to learn what happens to animals when they dry out or get depposited. The fossel I saw was all dried up and stiff as if someone super glued it to sand. It was a weird shape which was unique. We learned that fossels look the way they do because they were under water and today they are not.
      Anyway, I learned alot about that. I learned that water is more powerful than air aswell which helped my understanding alot especially in the experiment where we used the straw and wind blaster. It was one of my favorite science units! I learned alot. Not only education related but a life lesson. Now when i walk around I know what it is made from.

COOL CAREERS

    environmental consultant- Environmental consulting is when a consultant makes sure that a client maintains the earth's greens and nature well, (environmental regulations) This is important because if humans were just throwing trash and polluting the earth continuously, then oxygen would transform into something bad for humans to breathe and humans breathe 24/7 and then that would lead to cause humans to die and then later on in the future the earth would have a small population etc.I think this is important because nature is one of the essentials that humans need. I know this might sound weird, but for example, Tree's are very important because they give the world fresh air and oxygen to breathe. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT


  • groundwater specialist- Groundwater Protection Specialists inspect and analyze the health of local groundwater resources. They then devise innovative strategies and implement solutions to help prevent, reduce, or eliminate pollutants that may be contaminating the groundwater supply. This is important because, first of all, we all know that water is basically the most important thing that all humans need to consume to survive, and groundwater specialist's make sure the water that humans drink is clean and healthy. I think this is important because, if we had no groundwater specialist's then all the water that human's drink wouldn't be very clean and if water is not very clean then human's have the chance of catching a cold or getting sick. that's not very good.
  •  GROUNDWATER SPECIALIST

  •  marine engineer- marine engineer is someone who designs, builds, tests and repairs ships, boats, underwater craft, offshore platforms, and drilling equipment. They often work closely with naval architects to design everything from small yachts and fishing boats to submarines and aircraft carriers. This is important because underwater crafts are a very important thing in the world. For example, if marine engineers didn't exist then people would struggle to get fish or to carry things that they need to underwater.

Rapid versus Slow process of Erosion

Definition of rapid process erosion: Rapid eroding
Definition of slow process erosion: Slow eroding

Example of rapid process erosion: One example of rapid process erosion is, earthquakes. You know how earthquakes are very rapid and dangerous? Well, one type of rapid process erosion is earthquakes. There are more other things that are rapid process erosion, for example, landslides or volcanic eruptions those things are very dangerous as well!

DETAILS: 
-Earthquakes involve the powerful movement of rocks in the Earth's crust. ...- 
-Scientists use the different speeds of seismic waves to locate the epicenter (the point on the surface directly above where the earthquake originated) of earthquakes.-
-Seismometers are used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes.


Example of slow process erosion: One example of slow process erosion is weathering. You know how the weather is not something very RAPID, it is more of a less dangerous thing.

DETAILS:
-Physical weathering is a term used in science that refers to the geological process of rocks breaking apart without changing their chemical composition
-Wind and water cause small pieces of rock to break off at the side of a mountain.
-Weathering can occur due to chemical and mechanical processes.

Mechanical and Chemical erosion

Mechanical Erosion meaning- Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking big rocks into little ones. This process usually happens near the surface of the planet. Temperature also affects the land. The cool nights and hot days always cause things to expand and contract. 





-Mechanical erosion







Chemical Erosion meaning: Chemical weathering is what happens when rocks are broken down and chemically altered. There are different types of chemical weathering, including hydrolysis, oxidation, carbonation, acid rain and acids.
