Final Post

8th grade earth science was a great class full of many memories both good and bad. Throughout this class I learned many great things in many subjects such as: Astronomy, Weather and Climate, Geology, Weathering and Erosion, and Earth's Waters. These leanings include great things.

Astronomy
Astronomy was one of my favorite subjects this year. Every time I learn about astronomy it just gets me so interested. Just think about it a human going up into space a place that everyone wishes they could go some day. My favorite part about astronomy is learning about space exploration. This includes rockets, planets, and many other things.


Weather and Climate
My favorite part of this subject was learning about the layers of the earths atmosphere. I never knew there where layers of the atmosphere I only thought it was one thing. So I was surprised but also interested when I found out. Also I learned that certain layers contain certain things.




Geology

Geology was one of the boring subjects in this class but one interesting thing about it is learning about fossils. Even though we only learned about this for a little I thought it was very interesting. If you have seen the movie Jurassic Park and how they created dinosaurs using fossils then it keeps you thinking what we could do with fossils.

Weathering and Erosion
Weathering and climate was a very interesting subject. It is weird thinking that the Earth and all the rocks on it where once all very different. For example mountain tops used to look very different than they do now and they will keep changing as long as the earth still exists.




Earth's Waters
This was are most recent subject so it is the freshest in my mind. My favorite part about this subject was learni
ng about wells and aquifer and the relations between the two. I thought the artisan well was just so cool how it exploded without a pump because of all the pressure build up. I also love how then can be exploding all the time or just some times. Wells are very important to some people because they rely on wells as there main water source.



This year of 8th grade science was a great year until the end when I made a very stupid mistake. This mistake was me copy and pasting someone else work and calling it my own which I regret very much. When I made this mistake I lost every ones trust around me which I have been trying to build up for a long time. I'm Cole Jones and this is my last blog post to end such a great year.
