Weekly blog 5/15/16






Summary: This week I learned about the importance of food and why we eat it. The answer was that the importance of food is because we need it to survive. We need to eat food to survive and gain energy to move around and live. I also learned that some foods also go through a process which they start in a farm then end up in a landfill. When food goes through this it's called a food system. A food system has a beginning in a farm which is where the food starts and an end where the food get's composted or where the system ends.


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?

Answer: In class we discussed what order the food system should go in at our table groups and we also talked about why food is important the next day.


Systems and system models
IN SYSTEMS THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS.


Identify the system and its parts; explain how the parts of the system work together

Answer: The food system starts at where it comes from and then at where it ends it's in a landfill, composted, and or used for another purpose. These two work together because first the crops have to grow then at the end the wasted crops have to go somewhere, be used again, or repurposed.
