Weekly blog 1/17/16






Summary: Something that I learned this week was that a meander is a bend in a river and there can be more than one meander in a river. I also learned that the source is where the river begins and a tributary is where a small stream or river joins the main river. Another thing is that a v shaped valley is made by erosion and it's different from a u shaped valley. One other thing I learned is that deposition is when sediment adds on to something such as an alluvial fan. One last thing that I learned was that an Ox bow lake is a part of the river that's separate from the main one.


SP7: Engaging in argument from evidence
In science, reasoning and argument are essential for clarifying strengths and weaknesses of a line of evidence and for identifying the best explanation for a natural phenomenon. Scientists must defend their explanations, formulate evidence based on a solid foundation of data, examine their understanding in light of the evidence and comments by others, and collaborate with peers in searching for the best explanation for the phenomena being investigated.

Did you participate in a class discussion providing evidence for your answers, and/or used the ACE strategy in your work?

Yes we discussed things about rivers and things that can be found in or around a river.
