Weekly blog 10/18/15




Summary: this week me and my group worked on our diorama of Mt. McKinley. We also kind of worked on our ignite presentation and we still need to a little bit. Mt. McKinley is also one of the highest mountains and the plates that are involved are the pacific plate, North American plate, and the Alaska plate. We found a map of where the pacific and North American plate are but couldn't find one with the Alaska plate. This mountain was called Mt. Denali but is now called Mt. McKinley.

SP2: Developing and using models

Science often involves the construction and use of models and simulations to help develop explanations about natural phenomena. Models make it possible to go beyond things you observe and simulate a world not yet seen. Models enable predictions of the form “if…then… therefore” to be made in order to test hypothetical explanations.

Did you build a model, draw a picture, created a concept map, etc?

This week we built a model of Mt.Mckinley and we used tape, paper, cardboard, light green marker, a pencil, and a green marker.
