Post test 2 & 3

Today i finished post test 2 and started post test 3.

What i did today was rocks and the rock cycle mastery test.

   What i did today was select the proper explanation of why or how igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks form. Predict whether the crystals of a particular type of mineral will be large or small depending on how the mineral cooled. Distinguish between clastic, organic, and chemical sedimentary rocks. Identify examples of minerals used in science, society, or industry. The other thing i did was retake the mastery test on Rocks and the rock cycle mastery test and so on.

What i did today was a mastery test on rocks and rocks cycle.

 What i did today was Match terms used in studying rocks and minerals to their definitions. Identify examples of minerals used in science, society, or industry. Distinguish between igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks based on descriptions of how they formed. Distinguish between mineral and non-mineral objects. Identify or choose examples of factors used to classify rocks.Distinguish between intrusive & extrusive igneous rocks.Distinguish between clastic, organic, and chemical sedimentary rocks.Distinguish between foliated and unfoliated metamorphic rocks.Predict whether the crystals of a particular type of mineral will be large or small depending on how the mineral cooled.Select the proper explanation of why or how igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks form.Sequence possible steps in the rock cycle and so on. The book of science did help me a little and i didnt do so well and yea.

What i did today was Practice and did an activity.

    What i did today was did a practice test and an activity on plants and measureing things. In this task, you will compare plant growth for two weeks. Fill a cup with soil found near your home, another cup with sand (perhaps from a sandbox in a nearby park), and a third cup with rinsed gravel. Place a bean or a pea seed about ¼-inch deep in each cup. Every three days, give each plant one ounce of water. Measure and record the plants’ growth each day. Also take notes on the plants’ appearance. After two weeks, prepare a report on the growth and appearance of all three plants and draw conclusions on why the growth occurred the way it did  The three soil components are sand, clay, and silt. While most soils contain some amount of each component, there are locations where the soil contains a very high percentage of a single component. Identify a specific place or region where one could find this soil type; find a photo of the soil type in this location, copy it, and paste it into the table; and list a plant type that would do well, given normal weather conditions for that location, in that type of soil and so on.
