=Diorama Animal project = =//Direction: Use a shoe box to display your animals and its habitat, label everything in your habitat and all information must be written on index cards.//= Due 6/8/12 1. Choose an animal. 2. Find a picture or models of the both parents and babies List/explain four features/characteristics about your animal.

//*Do not mention color*//
3. Where is the animal found (country) display and explain its habitat. 4. Identify the Genus and Species of your animal. 5. Discuss the animal's diet (tell what it eats) and identify at least two predators. (food chain) 6. How does the animal reproduce(asexual, sexual, how long it takes the baby to develop, and is the baby carried/ where are the eggs laid) 7. Is your Animal endangered explain why or not (tell why the animal is endangered). If so explain what is being done to save the animal. = = = = = = = = = Welcome to Your class 613 Wiki. =

**//* Research paper due 3/8/2012. It is late after Friday and will be worth only half credit when it is turned in. If it is not in by Wednesday letters will be sent home to all group members.//**

 * EVERYONE IS DOING A RESEARCH PAPER ON A TOPIC THAT YOU AND YOUR GROUP MEMBERS CHOSE. FIND INFORMATION ON YOUR TOPIC AND REWRITE THE INFORMATION IN YOUR OWN WORDS. LISTING DEFINITION, MEANINGS, FACTS, SPECIAL FINDINGS OR EVENTS.**

= You choose: Technology - A Video using photoshop, moviemaker, or powerpoint, poster board or a brochure. = = Each student must do his/her part. = = 1. The Student must explain the type of storm they have chosen. Tell what it is by definition and what you may see happen during the storm like fast winds or heavy rains. = = 2. The student must explain the weather conditions/guide lines that this storm will occur under like wind speeds must be between 9 mph and 10 mph. = = 3. The student must create/find and explain what a weather map would look like during this storm showing air pressures, fronts, temperatures, wind speeds, precipitation, and Sky appearance. = = 4. The student must identify the areas most likely to have this type of storm in the united states and explain why. (If doesn't occur in the United States then identify another region) = = 5.

= [|The Energy story]use this link for information it will take you to a safe website = ( click on the energy story link above to use link) Energy Report Write a paragraph for each of the following I. Introduction

Must include the following information what is energy? why do we need it? Where does it come from?

II. Energy Types (potential and kinetic)

Must include the following information What are the two types of energy? Define each type, tell how they are used and give examples.

III. Energy forms and transformations

Must include **//ALL//** energy forms like chemical energy, nuclear energy, electromagnetic energy. Explain what they are and how they are used. Also explain each form they can changed into. Give examples

IV. Explain energy conservation

Must include the Law of energy conservation and explain why we need to save energy. Give examples

V. The kinds of energy we use to live

Must include Fossil fuels, Nuclear energy, and Hydroelectric energy. Tell what they are, how it is used, where it comes from, and the advantages and disadvantages for each one.

VI. Conclusion

Give your opinion of why you think energy is important and tell what you can do to help with energy.

= Welcome to Your New Wiki page class 610. =

Energy Project Ms. Jones
Due Date 10/13/10
 * 1) Choose four items in your home that uses energy. Find pictures or draw pictures and glue them to your posture board.
 * 2) Write the name of the item you chose at the top of one index card. (use one card for each item/picture and glue to posture board please)
 * 3) Explain the main purpose of each item and explain if it is a machine.
 * 4) Tell if it is a simple or compound machine explaining why and name at least two simple machine parts found on the compound machine. (give examples)
 * 5) For each item you must identify the main source of energy the item uses. (label it main source)
 * 6) Once you have identified the main source of energy, identify all the other forms of energy involved while the item is working. (label it other forms of energy)
 * 7) Now placed the energy forms in order of the energy transformations from start to finish.(Please include the main source of energy and all other forms of energy)
 * 8) Explain when the item you chose has potential energy and kinetic energy.
 * 9) Is there a way we can conserve energy when using this machine explain?

EXAMPLE: 2. Stove 3. A stove is used to cook food. It is a machine because it makes cooking easier for us since we can cook inside the house without causing a fire. 4. A stove is a compound machine because it is make up of more than two simple machines for example there are five screws (knobs) for turning on the stove and a lever for opening and closing the oven door. 5. Main source of energy - Chemical energy since it is a gas stove(gas) 6. Other forms of energy - mechanical energy knobs /door, Radiant energy (light/flames), thermal energy(heat) 7. Order of Transformations - Mechanical energy (turn on the knob)--Chemical energy (hear gas)--radiant energy(see flames/light)--thermal energy(feel heat). 8. The stove has potential energy when it is off and it has kinetic energy when you turn it on, open the oven door, digital clock is on, the light/flame is on. 9. We can conserve energy by turning it off we it is not in uses, eating the cold as soon as it is cooked so we will not have to reheat the food, buy a newer stove with a better efficiency rate.
