Essential questions 1. How are science and tech changing the world past, present, and future? 2. are these changes good or bad?         My thoughts about this unit so far are that technology can change the world for the better or to the worst. The reason I say that is because, yes technology can save people and help people with their homework and many other things, but did you know that technology can take away from your knowledge. Nowadays people depend on their phone or tablet to remind them of things. This takes away from your memory because your brain knows that you have your phone to do most of the things you need to do. Know people can track your phone, laptop, or tablet because people share their personal information online. Also, not many people go to places that relate to the earth and enjoy the real world. This is what makes me think that tech has a bad change to the world more than a good change

       In this unit we learned about erosion and landforms and how they effect the world. We went to the lab and made two experiments. This showed us the difference between rapid water erosion and slow water erosion. We also went to wadi degla and learned about the fossils and how water used to be in the wadi, and about how their was a river there. Our essential question was, why does the earth look the way it does?       One thing I learned in this unit is that the earth can change naturally and that the earth can change because of humans, for example global warming has happened many times before naturally, but now people are causing global warming because of many objects, such as plastic, burning trash,  oil spills, factories, cows and many other things.     Another thing I learned in this unit is that water is stronger than sand and when the sand is not piled up and thick the water can jut flow past it's side. I think this is b...

The virtual reality was really nice because it gave me a preview of what we were going to do in the unit, and how the world changes. It also was very helpful to our experiments when we saw the water eroding. I also noticed how the world could change its form.

                                                                     adventurer An adventurer is a person who takes risks exploring the earth in many different places and in many different ways. Sometimes adventurers climb mountains, go to space and take notes on the earth.                                           Miner miners are people who search for special objects in the world such as coal and other minerals.  sometimes miners cut what they find.

The water flowed down the middle really fast because of the big whole and that created a rapid.  I think the water overtook the sand and flattened it because of the speed.  The outcome I got from this was that speed can change the whole world, and that water is very powerful.
