Plate Tectonic!

                                       Critical Thinking Question
        Plate tectonic is the theory that attempt to explain the movement of the earth's lithosphere. It suggests that the out layer of the earth is divided into plates that move relative to each other across the surface of the earth.  I think I agree with this theory because the tectonic plate has drifted apart have separated the continents and finally it created the seven continents that we live on. It also affects our live by causing earthquakes, mountains, volcanoes.
       The plate boundary is an evidence of the plate tectonics. There are three kinds of boundaries that created because of the plate movement. The first boundary is divergent and it formed when two plates spreading from each other and creates the rift valley or mid-ocean ridge. The second boundary is the Convergent and it’s happened when two plates comes together and creates all types of mountains. Finally is the transform boundary and happened when two plates move side by side, it creates earthquake. When that happened under the ocean it creates tsunami.   

         In 1915, Alfred Wegener thought of the continental drift theory, which is an evidence of the tectonic plate. This theory says that all the plates used to be all together, one big continental, it called Pangaea. Seismic caused to break apart and drift away very slowly from one another on the tectonic plates.  

         Other evidence is the convection current. The convection current is when the heat from the outer core rises to the mantle and become cold , when the heat rises it becomes cooler and has a greater density and since it became cold, it goes down to the outer core again. The convection current is really important because it causes the plates to move.  

          In conclusion, I think plate tectonic are real because based on the results that we saw until today, such as: mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunami the plate tectonic is real and all this evidence supports my positions. 

                      

                                     Reflection About The Project

1) What did you enjoy most about this project? Why?

The most things I enjoyed is doing different topic and working with most of my friends. 

2) What was most challenging for you during this project? Why?

The most difficult part in this project was the ring fire lab because it was very boring and I don’t like working on maps.  

3) What new skills did you learn from doing this project?

In this project I learned a new skill from the Density Lab, I learned how to use triple beam balance to Measure different rocks because I never use the triple beam balance to measure something or even use it in a lab. 

4) Is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work?

I think if I have the chance to make this project again, I would take my time to print my quizzes before the class begins. 

5) What would you change about this project?

If I have the opportunity to change anything about this project, I would let the entire student to do the same numbers of project because I saw a lot of people complaining about doing more or less activities than their other classmates.

DEFINITION

LUNAR REVOLUTION	دوران القمري	Is when the the moon revolves around the Earth.
PHASES OF THE MOON	مراحل القمر	There are eight phases of the moon, New moon, Crescent moon, 1st &3rd quarter, Gibbous moon. phases means the change of the moon shape from the Earth.
TIDES	المد و الجزر	The change in level of earth's ocean. The water level is always ZERO.
GRAVITATIONAL FORCE FROM MOON TO EARTH	القوه الجاذبيه علي الارض	The force that attracts moon to the Earth.
NEAP TIDES	المد النيب	Neap Tides comes twice a month in 1st and 3rd quarters of the moon. When difference between high and low tide is least the Neap Tides happen. Neap Tides is when the moon, Earth , and sun is 90 decrease to each other.

                                                      * SUMMARY 

           Lunar Revolution is when the moon revolves around the earth. The earth and the moon travel together around the sun and this takes one month to be complete. There are eight phases of the moon, New Moon, Crescent Moon, 1st & 3rd quarters, and Gibbous Moon. Phases means the change of the moon shape from the Earth. The Tides are the change in level of the earth oceans. the sea level is always zero but the tides causes the ocean to increase and decrease. The gravitation force from the moon on the earth is the force that attracts moon to the earth and this causes the tides from moon on the earth. The moon causes ocean to move from high to low tides and then back to high tide. The neap tide is when moon, earth, and sun are 90 decrease to each other. when difference between high and low tides is least the neap tides happen. the neap tides is always happening twice a month in the 1st and 3rd quarters of the moon.  

                                                           * VIDEO 

* CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION-
How is earth affected by movement ( revolution)?
the revolution of the earth causes change of seasons and variation in the lengths of days and nights at different times of the year.

* Reflection 
1. In this project I enjoyed recording the video with my group member because we tried our best and we listened to each other opinions. It was really fun working with Dono & Luis. 

2. finding ideas for our video was the most challenging thing for my in this project because it was really difficult to explain or show some of our vocabularies by images. 

3. in this project I learned a lot of new vocabulary words and more about neap tides. for example: What causes neap tides? When? How?

4. I think if we made our video more interesting like adding more voices in it, it will be better than now. however, am really happy with our work because we really did our best!

About Me!!

- I am always trying to be happy and smile so, I can believe that everything is fine and it will be better and better each day. Also, it's good way for me to change my mood.

- I am like a sea, sometimes calm and sometimes rebellious. 

- I  hate dark places.

- I love to hear romantic and scary stories.

- I wish my country "Egypt" to be the great country as usually. 

- I will be physical therapist when I grow up.

- I believe that friends are really important in our life even if it didn't go well between us, it will help us to overcome to our problems and learn a lot from our experiences together.

- I believe that science is crazy thing and hard to understand it, but it's cool in the same time.

- I love to visit museums and see different kind of artifacts and learn about different religions. For example: last summer I went with Barnard pre-college program to THE CLOISTER, AFRICAN BURIAL GROUND, and MOMA museums and even more and it was really fun.
