Minerals

In science class we have started learning about minerals and these where some of the questsions we had to answer
How are minerals formed?
Can rocks be mirnerals?
and many more
One of the most precious minerals to me are diamond not only are they beautiful and stuff but they are the hardest and most worthy mineral ever. What people don't know about diamond are that there are so many of them but its hard to get to them that's why they cost insane {too much.} Our upcoming test which is next week is about mirerals so if anyone has some valuable information please share it with me
HOPE YOU ENJOYED!! 

What is a mineral

In science class today we studied about minerals and we found out that minerals are solid, naturally occurring, inorganic, fixed composition, cyristal form. We also found out that the hardest mineral is a diamond and the softest it talc. One thing that could help you on a test {which will help me next week} is these questions that will help you figure out if the object is a mineral or a non mineral

• Is it non-living
• Is it a solid
• is it formed in the nature
• does it have a crystalline strugture                                                                                             HOPED YOU ENJOYED AND THAT I HELPED YOU ON A TEST :D

Volcano Presentation

This week in science class we have been working on volcanoes and had to do a presentation about a volcano or in our case two different volcano but in the same volcanic region. We choose to do the volcanoes Poas and Arenal which are located in Costa Rica. While we were researching we saw that there is a river which connects Poas to arenal. If i where to have listen to our {my and my friends presentation} as a teacher i would put the grade 5 from 6 because we had pictures we had slides and we talk about what we though of the volcano. I learned that my Poas volcano has a good and bad side because it can heal people form diseases but i also produces acid rain. Volcanoes are really fun to learn about because every volcano has a different shape or look its not all the same.

Volcanoes and Earthquakes

In science class we are learning about volcanoes and earthquakes. Yesterday  we were doing a lab called mapping earthquakes and volcano skill lab and the guiding question for this topic was: Is there a pattern in the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes?  And i answer yes, because whenever you see a volcano a earthquake has to be close to it or the other way around. One thing i would like to know for future reference is what is the first volcano ever formed? but i don't thing there is an exact answer.
Hope you Enjoyed

My Crystal Garden Day 1 Day 2 Day 3

 In science class our assignment was to make our very own garden {not a real one of course} at the end we would put some kind of liquid {solution} on it so it could grow crystals. Today is the second day of growing and to tell you the truth nothing really exiting happened. I put my "seeds" a.k.a liquid on where i wanted to grow them {they can literally grow almost anywhere, rocks water and wood etc.}They are slowly actually really slowly starting to develop and get form on my wood. On some of my friends garden you can see CRYSTALS! Couple of day past and nothing happened to my garden, so i put my rocks a.k.a wood into some kind of liquid that makes crystals. Lets wait and see if something is going to happen. It's been 2 weeks and the crystals in my liquid are in form, they are as big as rocks, its time to end this incredible unit so i have to write a conclusion. One thing that i learned throughout this unit is that crystals need heat and light to grow, if you leave them in a dark and in a small area they won't grow at all. I also learned when you put crystals on something soft it gets harder like sponge. The Best place where my crystals are growing is in the water. This unit was one of the best units we had had but you need to be patient, I have learned a lot
Thank you Mrs. M

Dynamic Earth Review

I will be answering a lot of question about natural recourses….ENJOY

In the program Inner Earth I found out that the layers of are earth go in this order {I am starting from the top to the middle of our earth} First there is the earth’s Crust {beneath the earth’s Crust lie a rocky mantle and iron core} then comes the Upper Mantle, Lower Mantle, Outer Core, and finally the inner core. One awesome fact is that the inner core is as hot as the surface of the sun.

 In the program about meteorites I uncovered that meteorites can tell us about the birth of our solar system. Meteorites are the main evidence about clues how the inner earth is made.

In the program about Crystals I found out that Crystals go farm beneath the earth then in the end they move up but not to the surface. Most of the diamonds or Crystals are found in volcanoes or somewhere where there his heat. Crystals get to the surface because in volcanic areas where hot gases meet the cold gasses and deposit crystals.

This Weeks knowledge About Caves

This week I study a little bit about caves and the facts I found where that in a cave it's not cold or hot it's always the same temperature everyday and every night. One more thing I learned while studying was that there are animals who come to caves when its cold or over night, and there are animals who live there their entire life and they don't need eyes to see because they are so used to the dark that non of them even have eyes. There is also this amazing rock called stalagmite, it get's taller inch by inch when water drops splash on it. These are my information about caves hope u enjoyed it.
