1. Which blog was your best this quarter? Why? My best blog was number 4 because I enjoyed working on pollen because I never knew that there was diffrent types of pollen. We looked at diffrent pictures and researched a specific type of pollen and where it came from.
2. What topic did you enjoy learning about the most (from chapter 17-20)? Why? Include a picture.
I liked learning about the clouds because their are so many types of patterns of clouds and the types of weather they bring.
3. What grade do you deserve for your 3rd Quarter Blogs? (Keep in mind some basic math. If you only did 3 out of 6 of them you cannot earn above a 50%.) I think I deserve a 100% because I did all my blogs, and I worked hard on them. I didn't rush through them or anything. Yet I also enjoyed doing them.

Matter
1. What are the five states of matter?
Solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, and Bose-Einstein condensates
2. What is needed to change a gas into a plasma?
Energy
3. What is the temperature at "absolute zero?" (in Farenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin)
Kelvin= 0. Celsius= -273.15 Farenheit = -459.67
4. What is the temperature in space? (in Kelvin)
The tempreture in space is 3 in kelvin
5. What do you think plasma would like look/smell/feel/taste?
plasma would look like a shinny glowing colored bar, it would smell like a very hot light bulb, it will feel like you are burning alive, and it would taste like hot rocks and sand.

- New technolgies that are being used in schools are rainwater collections, geothermal A/C and solar photovoltaic power systems.
- Rainwater harvesting - is when we get rain water and collect it into a big pipe
photovoltalic- which are solar pannels
geothermal A/C- steamed or hot water to use as power for air conditioning - I pick and an core issue Sustainable Development
- As we expand (humans) we must need to adapt to mother nature and use organic agriculture more often.
- If we were to sovle this problem we should adapt to mother nature more.We should use less energy by make solar pannels.By doing so we could stop a big portion of greenhouse gases.
