1. The surface water is warmer because the ocean is so deep and the sunlight can’t reach that far down

2. From the North Pole the water is slower and as it gets closer to the equator it warms up while the air from the equator to the North Pole it moves faster and as the warmth spread out the air cools and starts the cycle.

3. The global conveyor belt moves water around the globe and kind of filters the water, heating it and cooling it in a cycle. It also moves heat and nutrients throughout the ocean.

4. Wind causes surface water to circulate in the oceans.

5. Density differences causes deep currents to go through the process of upwelling and circulate the water.

6. When it freezes the salt levels go up.

7. Solar warming of ocean waters is where the warm water starts it’s venture to the Sea-to-Air Heat Transfer where the water cools and that water goes back to Solar warming of ocean waters and begins a cycle.

8. No because upwelling helps filter needed nutrients through the ocean.

9. The air in a convection current is always colder in the atmosphere and warmer on Earth’s surface.

10. Air always moves from high pressure to low pressure.

11. The heating of the Earth's surface and atmosphere by the sun drives convection currents in the atmosphere and ocean. That convection causes winds and ocean currents.

12. Temperature and precipitation.

13. As latitude increases, the temperature falls.

14. Because the mountain sometimes acts as a barrier for rain. On the windward side of a mountain, there is more precipitation. As air parcel because of the high elevation on the windward side of the mountain, the air parcel cools, condenses, causing it to rain.

15. The land will be colder because it looses its stored heat faster.

16. In the summer, the ocean side will be colder than the inner land, and in the winter the ocean will be warmer than the inner land because land looses and gains heat much faster than water.

1a. How many jobs would vertical farming supply? This is important because right now it is important to get more jobs with all the unemployment rates going up.
1b. Would the structures built for vertical farming fall over or take damage when there are strong winds? This is a legitimate concern of mine.
2. Would strong weather patterns make tall skinny structures like the ones that would be used for vertical farming fall over more often than one that was shorter and wider?
3. The dependent variable is the size of the structure, and the independent variable is the strong weather patterns.
4. Well, because in nature you can’t make the exact same storm happen twice you would have to use a model. The control group would be a model of the vertical farming structure and you would blow a fan on it. The experimental group would be with a model that was shorter and wider and blow a fan on it.

Hi Ms. Simmons!
I was going to your padlet and it wouldn’t let me like it. I tried to open up the documents such as the note taking document but I couldn’t open them up. Aura is having the same problem. So then I tried to post a question in the teacher questions section but it wouldn’t let me...help!
Thanks!
I don't know what the problem is. Several students are posting, and only you and Aura have mentioned this problem. Try opening a new tab and going to the Padlet again: https://padlet.com/simmonsjl_ums/xvxioahxp1yigs4l                                I have a ZOOM meeting about to start, but when it is over I will email you the documents if you haven't already posted something by then.
HI Ms. Simmons! Thanks for the link! It is working now! I will text the link to aura!

1)Could renewable Energy sources be used in vertical farming to lower pollution rates? We should answer this question because we need to lower our pollution rates as much as possible and this framing method would bring them higher then normally but the renewable resources might balance it out. How much land would be used for crops even if we did use vertical farming? We need to know how much it actually helps with the problem of space.
2) Is using renewable energy sources enough to balance out the extra pollution that vertical farming is making?
3) Independent Variable: what type of energy source used.
Dependent Variable: whether the pollution is balanced out or not.
4) Control Group: vertical farm using fossil fuels for power.
Experimental Group: vertical farm using renewable resources (windmills, solar panels, hydroelectric, etc.)

Hi Ben! Please look at the blue post in the Notes and Instructions column under the April 28 entry. If you are on your iPad, you will need to go to Flipgrid.com and enter simmons5689 as the flipcode, then use your IXL password as your ID when it asks for it. Please email me if you still have trouble.

Does cold water boil faster than hot water?
Boil hot water
Boil cold water
The temperature of the water
The rate at which it boils
The statement seemed to be false because the hot water boiled around 2 min but the cold water took around 4 min. Also hot water is already longer down the process so it makes sense that it took less time.

Control group: The wilted lettuce not put in any water.
Experimental group: The wilted that was put into the cold water to be rehydrated.
Experimental question: Will the lettuce still rehydrate at different temperatures of water? Will the lettuce the rehydrate in different liquids (oil, carbonated drinks, caffeinated drinks, etc.)

I used my ixl login to login into the app, but it didn’t work and it told me the ID was invalid. I tried using the website and it worked then. Should I just use the website instead of the app? Also, in the extra credit assignment it says to double space the essay, what does that mean?!
Thanks!
I see that you already recorded your video - YAY! For now, use the website. The app should be on your iPads soon, though. IT said they have pushed them, but how long it takes to appear is unclear.
Double spacing means to put a line without text between your typed lines. Some documents do this automatically, but it is an option you can change, usually. See the document I attached, which illustrates it for a word document.

Hi Arya!
IXL has been extended, so you should be able to get in now.

Please remember that questions should be in the  Questions column - I check that throughout the day - I wouldn't have seen this for at least a day normally, if I hadn't been updating my response to your IXL question.

# data[].attributes.body
I can’t record the video because it says that i have to download the app or open it in the app. When I try either of these it says that it is a restricted site
Thanks Aura - I don't know why it is doing that - with the link you should be able to view my video and record one as a response, but I guess the school filters are preventing that. I have asked IT to work on it, so hopefully they will be able to fix this.

It worked!

# data[].attributes.body
Do we post what we want our science project to be on and who our peers are in our column? Also when is this due and do we do all of step 1 today, like do the experiment and all?
Hi Aura! The Science Fair will be our final project, and it won't be due until near the end of school. I will be providing a document with possible topics tomorrow - which includes choosing your own topic. All you need to do today is what I asked for - watch the 2 videos, decide on working alone or in a group (and form your group, if you choose to work in a group), and watch my Flipgrid video and respond. I will give you daily assignments to help you to complete the project.
Great thank you for the clarification! 😊

Hi Sophia! You are talking about an extra credit assignment for any student who wants to improve their 3rd quarter grade in science, math, and/or ELA. It is not a required assignment, and any points earned will be added to the 3rd quarter grade. Fourth quarter will not have any numeric grades, only competency grades.

Hi Lil! There seems to be a little bit of confusion. Your answer to #3 makes sense based on what you did in questions 1 and 2, but for question #1 only C is based on opinion, so A, B, and D are all scientific questions. Question B might require multiple studies, but it IS a scientific question.
In #2, both A and D are answered in the facts about vertical farming.
For #3, that makes the answer B.
