Cycle 2_Week 6

Some of the careers engineers are involved in are involved in includes working with mechanics, the environment, and marine and ocean life. These careers all show a different side to engineering. They also take us a little deeper into the many different qualities engineering can give. In mechanical engineering you can create new inventions, ranging from toys to car engines. In environmental engineering you can come up with new ways to help save the environment and keeping it safe. In marine engineering you can make boats and anything else that deals with the ocean. If I had to choose between any careers in engineering, I'd choose environmental engineering because then I could come up with ways to save the earth. But I don't really want to become an engineer.

Cycle 2_Week 5 Post 2

Schools are using blogs for learning purposes. If a child didn't understand his/her school work that day they can go to the class' blog and read it over to try and understand the work. They are also using the blogs to post projects. I looked at the blog for Mrs.Stoddart and saw she posted up reminders for her class and also some different science topics. Some ideas I found for using blogger in class was to help us with science. We have different topics to write about ( related to science) and I've noticed it has helped our understanding of science. Some ideas I have for blogger in class is for those with questions to post those questions as blogs. Then people can look on them and leave their answers as comments. It's a way for communication, learning, and help at the same time.

Cycle 2_Week 5 Post 1

The technology we use in school has influenced me to learn a little bit more on how to communicate with technology. During our technology session, we made emails to help understand our science assignments. Blogging has not improved my writing. Blogging is just another form of writing. It's not like an entire vocab improvement book. Blogging did help me on the NJ ASK because of the assignments we had to write on. We had to type on different science related subjects. It helped me to remember some science materials we studied but other than that nothing. The technology we used in class did connect me with me classmates and such. Ex. IGoogle, chat, blogs. These are my thoughts on our session in technology. My overall experience was fun.

Cycle 2_Week 3

I think the author most likely wrote the passage because she wanted to warn humans about the consequences when you eat sea turtles. I know this because through out the passage I read about the effects eating sea turtle meat can have on humans, and how eating sea turtle meat can decrease it's population in the ocean. In the passage it says,"Sea turtles absorb a lot of pollution from the ocean, including pesticides and heavy metals like mercury and cadmium. These toxins are health hazards for both turtles and humans and can cause permanent damage to their bodies." This tells me that eating sea turtle meat is very bad for humans because of the toxins the turtle absorbs. Also in the passage it says,"Sea turtles also carry the bacteria salmonella, which can cause severe diarrhea in people." This tells me eating sea turtle meat can be hurtful and painful. This reminds me of how monacrh butterflies are poisonous. They are pretty on the outside, hurtful when they're inside you. That's why animals rarely eat them.

2. Reduce,re use, recycle. This reminds me of when I had to perform at the War Memorial in a Going Green Show by Tedi. I learned a lot by going Green. Nice job.-Jose Carranza's comment
