Hello Seventh Graders!
This is the scribe post for Friday 15, 2010! At the beginning of class we reviewed our homework which was to answer two random questions.
The two random questions were:
1. Where is Marianas Trench? In what Ocean is it located and how deep is it?
2. What is the capital of Bolivia?
The answers to the questions above were:
1. Marianas Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean – Challenger Deep is the deepest point of it and it is 11,033 meters below sea level.
2. There are actually two capitals of Bolivia. One is Sucre and the other one is La Pas.
Secondly, we got back our homework that was due Thursday 14. The homework we got back was our graph and paragraph on another class’s data for the ping pong ball. This homework was worth 10 points.
Another task we covered was beginning our lab on FRICTION! Ms. D introduced the lab to us and she went over the purpose question, the hypothesis, and rubric as well as the conclusion and evaluation that we are going to be expected to write. The lab is called, Investigating the Factors that Affect Friction.
Just a reminder that we have homework due Tuesday 19! The homework is to graph the Red class’s data for the Tennis Ball and write a paragraph about it!!!
Well, those are the things we covered in class Friday 15.
The next scribe is AnToNiA!!!!
Great Job. I loved that you talked about the random questions and even put a picture of where Marianas Trench was located. One little thing was that you misspelled La Paz other than that your blog was very interesting :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! The only thing you missed is saying what month Friday 15th 2010 is and that the Mariana trench isn't the Marianas trench. I liked the picture and that you used diffent colors!
ReplyDeleteHey, i enjoyed the picture, i think it was really helpfull. If you guys would like to know something more about friction, here is a link that may can help:

Hello Iva,
ReplyDeleteGood job on everything but I have to point out several things. First of all I am almosst sure "La Paz" is spelled "La Paz" and not "La Pas" as you said. And also, another name for the Marianas Trench is the Mariana Trench (no "s" at the end). Also the deepest point is called Challenger Deep because it was discovered by a team with a submarine called Challenger II. Also i would like to give more information about La paz. It is the administrative capital of Bolivia at an elevation of 3,735 meters and a population of about 850,000 people.
Major Post, Cip
Iva I think it was good how you included a map of where the Mariana Trench. It is also good how you gave the answer to the random questions. All in all I think you did a good job.
ReplyDeletefor the random science question 1. Where is Marianas Trench? In what Ocean is it located and how deep is it, for the lat & lon i got 11"21' North latitude and 142" 12' East longitude
ReplyDeleteThe Marianas Trench is the namesake of Mariner Valley a huge(huge is an understatement) canyon on Mars. Here is a link to a video that talks about Mariner Valley http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1622667251598627943#
ReplyDeleteHope yo learn a lot.
If anyone is interested, the Marianas trench was once considered as a nuclear dump until some divers found life there. For more info, go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7704551.stm
ReplyDeletehello Iva, my name is Sharmaine. You've commented on one of my blog post and saw you gave me a link to yours. Well I decided to check on your posts. I found out that Marianas trench is one of the deepest parts of the world's ocean. But before i read your post i thought Marianas trench was just a band. O.O
ReplyDeleteAnyways good job on your post you've explained everything in detail about what you did in class and thats great because your classmates that missed school can know what you did. keep up the good job :)
