Cool

Earth Science OverView

During my time in science we studied 5 topics. Which, as our last assignment were supposed to talk about our favorite topic.
For Astronomy I thought the Black Holes was the coolest part. I thought it was cool that an hour would go by, with a year a little ways away.
For the weather and climate, I like the atmosphere the best. You got to draw and make a picture of the atmosphere layers.
I liked the volcanoes the best of the Geology. They are really cool, and make the coolest/hottest rocks.
For the water and erosion, I liked the podcast/movie/chubbathingy the best. I got to work on the computer on an old town I used to live in.
For earths water I liked the tracing we did of Colorado Spring's water. It was neat.

Journey to the Colorado Springs

The water comes down in this exact order:
1. Homestake reservoir
2. turquoise lake
3. Otero intake pipeline
4. Clear creek reservoir
5. Otero pumping station
6. Divide pumping station
7. North slope reservoir
8. South Slope Reservoirs
9. Fountain Valley Water Treatment Plant

This is the journey about 200 miles long with pipeline alone.

Solar Power

SOLAR POWER

4 Essential Q's

What about your topic are you going to research specifically?
How much percentage of the world uses Solar Power. What major companies are using solar power.
What conclusions did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference?
There are more farms in the southern U.S. than all of Germany put together.
Average citizens should try the best they can to conserve energy, and use solar panels.
What would happen if, worst-case scenario, nobody listened to your recommendations?
The earth would eventually run out of natural fuels and the earth would decay quickly because there is nothing to cook with or harvest stuff.
What would happen if, best-case scenario, everybody listened to your recommendations?
The world would be able to last a lot longer, because there isn't much use of natural gas, the world would be able to run on no fuel. Imagine having to not pay for gas since you first bought it. ( until it breaks)

Penny Lab

In this penny lab that we did in class, you were to predict how many drops of water you could fit onto a penny without spilling over. I predicted about 13 drops. The actual drops were 18 total. I think my drops were less than anyone else s because I had bigger drops, and they came out faster.
