Weekly blog 10/4/15





Summary: This week we learned about volcano's and different types of volcano's. A type of volcano is called a shield volcano and it looks like a a shield instead of a normal volcano. Some volcano's are dormant witch means that those volcano's don't spew magma out of the tops. Volcano's are a constructive force because even though lava is dangerous the volcano can become dormant and make new land. When a volcano gets created it can also make new land when it becomes dormant. A destructive force is when something like a flood destroys something and doesn't make something. Example: A flood comes and destroys land but a volcano comes and makes more land.


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?

Yes in class we made a model volcano, a map, and another model made of grahm crackers, fruit roll ups, and frosting.
