8th grade Expeirence

In 8th grade science I learned a lot from having a great and exciting teacher. I learned about space and solar power and I made little cartoons and comics. In the beginning of the year I wasn't happy to hear that I would have the same teacher from 6th grade. I admit I thought it would be another long tiring year and with no fun. I was wrong we all had a lot of fun because she put a lot more technology into it and we were all excited to see what Mrs. Casey knew about technology.

The reason I thought the class would be boring was because I struggled in that class. I thought it would be boring and a long and tiring year. As I said I was wrong. I feel a lot smarter and a lot better that I did then.

One thing I learned was arrow dynamics for how space and how earth works and more. It was a lot of fun we learned how airplanes were made to fit for flight. It was a lot of fun also when we played with water and see what happens to water in the dark and in the light and also when you mix it with chemicals and many other things at the same time. It was fun to see all if the water would dissolve other things at the same time and amount as it was in the light. It was a lot of fun.

She was great and helped me to learn a lot more. But what I liked best was the little comic we did on the internet. I had a lot of fun with it. It made me laugh. I made many other things on my blog that I made for her class. It was a blast.


Thank you Mrs. Casey for everything that you taught me and helping me in science. I learned a lot in this class and I will never forget how 8th grade was. Its now summer have a great time everyone and see you guys later. Oscar

Colorado Springs water comes from the far west. The water they get travels 200 miles just to get to Colorado Springs. The water is cleaned after time and time for everyone to be able to drink it. The water is very dirty. The water they drink comes from the sewer but also comes from the tap or were they usually get there water. All in all the water is clean and drinkable and just fine after it gets cleaned over and over. 75 % of water comes from over the divide to be drunk from Colorado springs.
Manitou springs has its own source. It runs differently compared to Colorado Springs. It runs of the sewer system of its own. At the same time it runs of Colorado Springs water gust to get the water the people drink. They get the same water Colorado Springs gets like the 75% of water Colorado Springs gets.

Water Activity

1. What is the water cycle? The water cycle is a never ending cycle in which the water will go through and never end.
   
2. Does the water cycle have a beginning or end? No because it is a circle. A circle has no beginning or end like other shapes. It goes through 5 fazes. Those are evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and groundwater and then it starts all over again.
3. Starting with a puddle on a sunny day, describe how water might move through the water cycle and eventually fall back as rain. It will start to evaporate and the clouds form which is condensation finally it will rain which is precipitation.
