These were my favorite parts of Mrs. Casey's earth science this year. In astronomy at the end of the year we had Mr. Steve Getty come in and teach us about orbits in space. This was my favorite because he gave us the opportunity to use our prior knowledge as well as our resources. It was great working with people to solve the problems in space and watching how stars exploded. We all really appreciated him coming in and watching him lose a bet and had to to 50 push ups that was the bomb.

The next subject we jumped into was Earth's atmosphere. My favorite activity in this subject had to be drawing a picture of it get this, ON THE COMPUTER. Crazy as that sounds it was a great experience and I enjoyed it tremendously. I use this all the time now and was a skill i will never forget and one that i love more everytime I use it. This subject proved that this year would be fun after all.


Another subject we studied this year was Geology. My favorite activity in this subject would have to be the project me and my friend Jason bombed badly. We had to make a project on the earths moon and stuff like that. Him and i could have gotten a lot better grade but we are 13 year old guys and got distracted, oh well. We didn't fail but it wasn't to good.

The next subject we did was Weathering and Erosion. In this subject we had to do a presentation in which Jason and I again didn't do so well. I changed my voice from normal to southern and back. It was really confusing after a while but us two had a blast with it and I wouldn't trade that in for the world. Though the grade wasn't what most people expected it was still a funsized blast.


As the end of the year reared its promising head we got an odd assignment. We had to communicate with people from a state on the other side of the continent. We did a collaborative project with people from North Carolina. Ours was on the earth's water and the way that our oceans were so polluted. I was put with the job of the hardest subject to research which was man made pollution. However we got a good grade and learned a lot about other parts of the United States. As you can see this year was great and I look forward to next year.
