The mineral Proprieties that we learned in this lab were color, luster, streak, hardness, cleavage or fracture.
What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I most enjoyed making the video and taking pictures of the minerals.
What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
The most challenging thing for me was to write analysis and conclusion because I didn't have enough time to find answers on this.
What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I learned how to identify the minerals.
Is there anything that you have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
I think I would put more explanation in my writing lab.

Phases of the Moon
PHASES of the MOON
New Moon: Moon is not visible. новая луна
Waxing Crescent: Less than half of the moon is visible. растущая луна
First Quarter: Half of the moon is visible. первая четверть
Waxing Gibbous: More than half of the moon is visible.растущая луна
Full Moon: Whole moon is visible. полная луна
Waning Gibbous: More than half of the moon is visible. убывающая луна
Last Quarter: Half of the moon is visible. последняя четверть
Waning Crescent: Less than half of the moon is visible. убывающая луна
Waxing: When the moon is getting bigger. растущий
Waning: When the moon is getting smaller. убывающий
There are 8 phases of the moon: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon,. Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter and Waning Crescent. They all represent the changes of the moon during one month. While this happens the moon is waxing( growing) and waning ( shrinking). One of the moon phase causes is revolution of the moon around the Earth.
VIDEO
CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION
The Earth's movement gives us seasons. Because the Earth moves around the Sun its axis points on the Sun we have summer and spring time. But when its axis doesn't point on the Sun we have winter and fall. It also makes the Earth have direct or indirect sunlight. For example on equator is never winter because the equator always points to the sun that makes this part of the Earth take the most sunlight. Also Earth's movement makes influence on the tides , the change their level while the Earth revolves. And because of the Moon revolution we have 8 phases of the moon.
REFLECTION
What did you enjoy most about this project and why?
I enjoyed working in my group and when we made the video because it was really fun and interesting.
What was most challenging for you during this project and why?
The most challenging thing for me was when we had to make the video fast and clear for everybody could understand.
What new skills did you learn from doing this project?
I actually already had all the skills that I was needed for do the project.
Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? Explain.
I think I would make the video more funny and creative. But I really like the way me and my group did this project.

CRETACEOUS PERIOD
The Cretaceous period started 144 to 65 mya . This period was a period when the Earth started to flourish. This was a time of volcanic activities when the Earth's look changed. Also in this time many new species such as Dinosaurs, Reptiles, Birds and new Plants and Rocks were appearing. The Cretaceous was also a time when the life on the Earth came to the era in what we live now.
1) What did you enjoy most about this project?
I enjoyed most finding the pictures and making my video beautiful
2) What was most challenging about this project? Why?
It was when I had to present because somehow my video was incomplete.
3) What you change about this project and why?
I changed the way I put my pictures in a video.
4) What are 3 things that you learned from this project?
I learned about other periods, how was the life in my period, what kind of species lived there.

THE STARS- BLOG ENTRY
WHAT IS A STAR?
1. Stars are huge hot objects that brights. They can be different types, sizes, colors, class. They can have different temperature and luminosity. stars are born in gas clouds and die in the end of their lives.
TYPES OF STARS.
2. There are four types of stars which are main sequence, white dwarfs, giant and supergiant. the stars are also classified by their size, luminosity, spectral class, ages, temperature, color and mass.
Main sequence's stars can be different temperature, luminosity, colors and spectral class. But they are mostly middle size. White dwarf stars are white, small hot, dim and they have very low luminosity. They can have A,B,F spectral class. Giant stars are very large, cold, but bright. These stars can have different spectral class and color. Supergiant are super huge bright stars that can be different colors, temperature and spectral class.
H-R Diagram.
3. H-R diagram or the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram is a diagram that astronomes use to sort stars on their color, size, temperature, type and luminosity. It also shows releanshiontips and differences between the stars.
NUCLEAR FUSION.
4. Nuclear difusion is when the nuclear reaction inside a star change two hydrogen gas
molecule.
THE LIFE CYCLE OF A STAR.

THE LIFE CYCLE OF A STAR.
5.Stars have a life cycle that tells us about how a star was born, how it lived during its life time and how it died. there are three different types of stars that pass throgh different stages.
Sun Like stars are born in stelar nebulas, the next step after this is becomeing in red giant stars, then they become planetory nebulas, after this they transform into white dwarfs and finally they finish as black dwarfs.Huge stars begin their lives in stellar nebula too, and then pass into red giants, then they transforme into supernovas and end their lives as nuclear stars.Giant stars begin in the same way as huge and sun luke stars, but only in the end of their liveing they become black holes.

Hurricane Irene Project
CRITICAL THINKING
1) What effect does water temperature have on the creation a hurricane?
The warm temperature of the ocean water is one of the hurricane's causses that makes the hurricane begin and become stronger.
2) Why would be more damage to an area during high tide?
In the area of the high tide wil be more damage the destruction of buildings, roads, the ground will become much softer.
3) If an area is fully saturated, how will this be more dangerous for an area?
If an area is saturated and the hurricane hits it then its will be a flooding because an area has a lot of water.
4) Why would there be more flooding if the ground was fully saturated?
Because when the hurricane hits the ground the water moves.
REFLECTION
1) What is something that you liked about this Mini-Project?
I liked when I should type the essay about my topic.
2) What was difficult for you on this project?
The difficult thing on this project was when I tried to find the right information.
3) What would you change about your work on this project?
I don't want to change anything.
4) How did this project help you learn about Hurricane Irene?
I learned about how the Hurricane happen, what are its causses. How it effects on us.
