My References so far...

Here are some of the URL's I found that would help in my research.

http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/watercycle.html visual of how the water cycle works and a brief overview.

http://www.planetguide.net/book/chapter_2/water_cycle.html has a neat animation to show evaporation and precipitation in the ocean

http://managingwholes.com/flash/wcSlideshow.htm another cool Flash thingy

Lots of progress so far

So far over the weekend, we made a lot of progress on our Water Quality Project...We (Julian, Jesse and I) all have our topics that we need to finish our project. Our topic was 3 physical properties of water. I'm doing the evaporation cycle, Jesse's doing the 3 forms of water and Julian's doing surface tension of water. We have more than enough URL's to meet the 5 minimum due tomorrow.

Shapes and Independence Projects

At least today two projects got done...the Shapes Project and the Latin America Independence PowerPoint. Now we can focus on deadlines that are coming up for the Water Quality and the Beyond the Border projects...We have a lot of projects, but don't spend a whole lot of time on each one, which I think contributes to the average quality to them...because if we would have spent a little more time on each project we could have done a much more detailed and all around better job.

Woops forgot to Post yesterday....Field trip

I forgot to post because of the field trip...Gino and I found a lot of websites that helped us in our Powerpoint though...here are some of them

Projects

Well, Gino and I made great progress with our Powerpoint about El Salvador. We are almost done acquiring all our information for the Powerpoint. We will have to assemble it on Friday, since there's a field trip tomorrow to the meuseum of man in Balboa Park.

Here are some URL's I found...Many are just general information about El Salvador instead of stuff about politics and relevolutions and stuff like that...

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/es.html lots of general information.

http://www.britannica.com/nations/El-Salvador a lot of political information.

http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2033.htm more general information

We (Jesse, Julian and I) are making some, but little, progress on our Water Quality Project...We haven't really got any information on our topic, which is three physical properties of water. We have a small concept in our minds, but really haven't done any research to how it differs from any other substance...

Shapes Project...Well, Ryan did a lot of work yesterday without me which was good and all I have to do is make a optical art piece and an Islamic tile piece and paragraphs describing them and titling them. I couldn't finish them during class today so I had to work on it at home...at home though I was having trouble with all the stuff Ryan suggested that I do, because the program hates me >.<

We have A LOT of homework
(\(\
(-_-)
(_(")(") BUNNY!

I'm Sick...

Well, today I was sick...but I e-mailed Anne and Spencer for my assignments and for the new project we started in Spencer's class today I got Gino as a partner. I e-mailed him and we split up the questions and we are going to start researching.

Beyond the Border Project is going well I guess, we aren't moving as fast as I would have hoped, but we aren't falling that far behind...We got our script critiqued again today, I guess I'll find out how that went tomorrow. I think we can finish this project and do a good job, but we really need to start moving faster...

Shapes Project, well I hope Ryan made some progress on this project today, we can't really do this project at home because we need a certain program...I'm gonna ask Anne if we can send it home and work on the project from our homes.

Water Quality Project...well I don't think Jesse or Julian had even started on this project and I don't blame them, because we need to talk about it more to make sure everyone knows what they are going to do...I plan to do that as soon as I get back to school.

Our Topic is Physical Properties of Water...

Well, for our Chemistry Mini-Project we got assigned the topic of three pertinent physical properties of water. At first, I was kinda confused on what "pertinent physical properties" were but when I looked it up, it was just three relevant properties that could be observed or measured without changing the water. Well, some physical properties that water have are like its see through and it is a liquid so it does take the shape or form that the container it's in. I think that we (Julian, Jesse and I) can find a lot of other more interesting physical properties.
