Creationism:
That humans, life and earth were all created by a supernatural being or "God". It is the bases of the majority of religions.

Intelligent Design:
Is similar to Creationism except that it is more related to science than supernatural causes. It is the belief that everything and everyone was created for a purpose or a test by another race of Intelligent being.

Mitosis Learning Reflection

I think that I have benefited from this project because of making our own analogies and studying in further detail, it will help me remember it better. I also know that you remember and understand 80% of what teach and you only remember 20% of what you are taught. So in the long run this will help us in the future when we need to know about mitosis.

I think that a group of 4 was good and I like

I agree about what Mr. K said how boys learn except I would like to add that boys learn better when creating and making something physical and visual. Girls learn better when reading, writing, taking notes, and concentrating.

I think that around 60% of the school will be left over right hand and 40% right over left hand clasping

Variables: 10-14 years of age, Just naturally clasp their hands, Weather or not they have hurt on hand or the other, if they right with there left or right hand.

I will go from student to student asking them if there parents are right or left handed and then I will ask them to clasp there hands and write it down.

The States of Matter


There are three main states of matter there solids, liquids, and gases. Solids include wood, metal, glass, dirt, paper, etc... Liquids include, water, milk, juice, fuel, etc... Gases include, air, methane, carbon dioxide, smoke, etc... Solids atoms are dense and vibrate in a small area, they keep there form unless smashed. Liquids atoms are not as dense as a solid but they vibrate in small areas but can pass each other, a liquid will take up as much surface area as it can. Gases atoms move freely around and frequently collide, gas will spread in a 3 denominational area.
