8th grade science favorites
ASTRONOMY: My favorite about astronomy would have to be about the stars. It's about the stars because i think they are interesting and unique.
But it was also fun learning about everything else but stars is my fav. But my favorite activaty was when mrs.caseys friend came in and taught us about space. Using computers we got taught how to find the different angles of the moon and if they were in a certain place they would get ran into and explode the sun. I liked this activity because we were able to use technology and test our own skills to learn.
Climate:
During this i was able to learn about how the earth worked. And i learned that the different angles that the sun was in then there would be different seasons. I thought it was fun how mrs.casey put activaties for us to play that were fun but yet we still learned things. I loved how everyday we could go threw atleast a chapter in a day and still learn everything you need to know.
Geology:
As we learned about geology I liked when we got to do the different tests to find out which rock or mineral was which. In this activity we learned about many different kinds of rocks and minerals. I had fun in this activity because it was hands on and we really got to understand how to identify rocks and minerals.
Weathering and Erosion:
The weathering and erosion section was also fun because my friend and I got to work on a podcasts together. I enjoy working on them because you get to show what you have learned and teach others about it. I had a lot of fun working with my friend on this podcast. I liked how we got the freedom to choose which way we wanted to present our research and all have the same guiudlines. As you can see I really enjoyed making the podcast about weathering and erosion. And also while you did the podcast you got to learn new things about podcasting. And the different ways.
Earth's Waters:
In the Earth's waters chapter I enjoyed the activity on the computer where we learned about the cycle water goes through. After learning about the water cycle we had to write down what we learned down on the blog .I enjoyed this activity because it was very clear to me after we learned it. And the powerpoints Mrs. CAsey has were very productive and helped me learn easier. And it was just fun because water is very interesting. So are the things in water. And a lot of questions are answered. Like how it goes threw the cleaning cycle is very cool.
