wind erosion

wadi field trip

As we walked through the wadi that was once a ocean millions of years ago.The sand filled our shoes the same as the experience filled our heart. the experience of the hike is one I will always remember, the view, and the passion of completing the hike. even though our legs were sore and the sun was shining at us with extreme heat we defiantly loved this field trip. 

As Mr. bill explained how the rock was made of lime stone. When he put the liquid of 10% acid and how it made the rock and sand fizz up, it was marvelous to see what a liquid could do! As Mr. Bill said the oldest rocks are at the bottom of the sand. As he handed out some fossils such as oyster shells- the oyster shells looked a lot different from each other because of where the oysters were living in different places, he also showed us clam fossils, snail fossils , sand dollar fossils and plankton fossils. he also said that there are 2 animals that got extinct they are the Baslasorus which ate sharks, the animal that defended them and was also extinct is the Magladon . The Magladon was last seen 2 million years ago. a fun fact Mr. Bill said was that the ground that we are standing on is actually 50 meters sea level and some of the hills are 300-400 meters sea level! 

some simular things that I saw at the wadi and at our class stream table were that they both had canyouns and sand. 

science experiment 4

before picture 

  Question:

can you minupliate the direction of the water flow? 

Will the cubes stop the water adn create a dam?

       

        Hypothesis: 

i think the ccubes will not stop the water from flowing because the water will find a way and still create a river 

           

             Meterials:  fine sand, rough sand, a ruler,  plastic cup with a small hole, clay bucket, wooden wedge and a stream table. cubes- small and large 

         Prrocedure  :  

1.  we set up the computer 
2. we put the clay, fine sand and rough sand into the big tray 
3. we mixed the caly, rough sand and fine sand
4. we put the wooden wedge unnder the strem table 
5. we placed the stream table at the edge of the table 
6. we placed the bucket under the table 
7. we placed the ruler then on it the the plastic cup with a hole at the bottom 
8. we added the cubes 
9. we createda dam 
10.  then we poured some of the water into the plastic cup with a hole 
11. then the river started accuring

        Observation 

       Counclusion 

Virtual Reality Experience

throughout my virtual reality experience i was amazed! it looked so real. the water fall was personally pretty scary i felt like i was going to fall. and the grand canyon was amazing it was miraculous and I felt that I was actually there it was an amazing experience and an amazing way to show people the different things on line all in a "phone" and it seemed so real! I think it is an amazing invention for who ever invented the virtual reality it was overall superrrr cool it is a memory to remember! a question I have is that who invented the vertual reality and when did they invent it and how did they invent it are my questions

APL QUOTE

                            "Don't raise your voice, improve your argument."

                                                                                                     -Desmond Tutu 

I think this quote is very nicec and it might mean when you are agueing do not get mad and raise your voice you should make your agument strong and you shoul improve your points. this quote is very good because you should definetly not raise your voice in an argument and you should always try to make your opinion stronger. My thoughts about this quote is that it has a very good mesage and you should try to cousider that when you are argueing.

 Question:


what happens when the force of water is increased
     



         Hypothesis:

       i think the cnayou will go deepper



            Meterials:  fine sand, rough sand, a ruler,  plastic cup with a small hole, clay bucket, wooden wedge and a stream table.





         Prrocedure  :  

1.  we set up the computer 
2. we put the clay, fine sand and rough sand into the big tray 
3. we mixed the caly, rough sand and fine sand
4. we put the wooden wedge unnder the strem table 
5. we placed the stream table at the edge of the table 
6. we placed the bucket under the table 
7. we placed the ruler then on it the the plastic cup with a hole at the bottom 
8.  then we poured some of the water into the plastic cup with a hole 
9. then the river started accuring

        Observation 

10 seconds- the water is starting to flow without creating a canyon
20 seconds- making very small canyons at the bottom of the sand
30 seconds- the canyous are becoming a bit larger
40 seconds- we realized that with the previous experiments the canyoun would start from the begining to the end but this experiment is it creating a canyon from hte bottom to the top
50 seconds- water is flowing very fast
60 seconds- the canyons are becoming a bit thicker
1 min- the sand is becoming weaker.
1 min and 30 seconds- the canyouns are becoming thicker not longer
2 min- the water is making smaller canyons



       Counclusion 

throughout the standard experiment we relized that when the water went into the land it did not create a river from the begining instead it created a river from the end. the river was cshaped as a fan. the sand went into the water and went to the bucket of water. the clay and fine sand more of it had went into the water than the rough sand because they are lighter and softer thatn the rough sand.

experement two : desposion

            Question:

what happens to the land that gets eroded?
       

 

         Hypothesis:

       i think the land will disapper nd it will go under land.



            Meterials:  fine sand, rough sand, a ruler,  plastic cup with a small hole, clay bucket, wooden wedge and a stream table.





         Prrocedure  :  

1.  we set up the computer 
2. we put the clay, fine sand and rough sand into the big tray 
3. we mixed the caly, rough sand and fine sand
4. we put the wooden wedge unnder the strem table 
5. we placed the stream table at the edge of the table 
6. we placed the bucket under the table 
7. we placed the ruler then on it the the plastic cup with a hole at the bottom 
8.  then we poured some of the water into the plastic cup witha hole 
9. then the river started accuring

        Observation 

10 seconds water is sterting to move
20 seconds warter is flowing in a pool
30 seconds the water is flowing
40 seconds water forming into a pool
50 seconds water is going seperate ways
