Summary: This week I learned about ocean currents and how humans and the Earth are alike. Something that ocean currents need to be created is wind because the wind blows the water and makes a currents. Something that the Earth and people have in common is that they are both mostly made out of water. Another thing that they have in common is that they are both alive because the Earth has living orginisms on it and a person is alive. They are also different in some ways like the Earth constantly spins and humans have to eat, drink, and sleep but the Earth doesn't have to to live.
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?
We did a worksheet with our table groups about ocean currents about what we know, learned, and wanted to know. We also watched a video (bill nye video) about ocean currents and filled out our own documents about it.

Scale, Proportion, and Quantity
Tell us what have you learned about how things change at different scales. This can be something that you notice in class or outside of class.
Identify a topic affected by scale, proportion or quantity and explain how things changed at different scales.
In class we also learned about the differences and similarities between a person and the Earth and they both are more alike than I thought. They both have more similarities than differences of what I've learned.
