Water cycle
What is water cycle?
A water cycle is a pattern of precipitation (Rain, Snow, Etc...) that is in the environment. This consists of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
Does the water cycle have a beginning or an end?
No, The cycle never begins or ends. Key word (cycle), Which means a repeated sequence of events.
Starting as a puddle of water list the steps of the water cycle.
On a hot day the puddle of water will evaporate , then the water that just evaporated condenses into a cloud which than will become precipitation. The precipitation could be Rain, Snow, Slate, Hail, Etc...

Essential Questions
What is your subject you chose?
My subject that i chose was ways to conserve water.
What conclusion did you come to? What do you recommend average citizens do to make a difference?
Well water is needed and huge amounts are used everyday. I have found out there are a lot of ways to conserve water such as: When washing dishes then put water into two different buckets and (soapy), and (Rinse), Another is when you brush your teeth than don't run the water, Also you can use your water bill as a tool, if you know that your water bill is high and you haven't used that much water than you probably have a leak.
What would happen, best case-scenario, if everybody listens to your idea?
Well if everybody listened to my idea than we would have a ton of fresh water. While i was researching the u.s. use's the most water out of the whole world. Europe use the second most, While Kenya uses about 1.6 gallons, So if the United States where to cut down on the use of water than there will be enough water for people everywhere without using a lot of water.

Penny Blog
Penny Blog:
The procedure of this experiment was to see how many drops of water you can put onto the penny before the water on the penny bursts. My prediction for how many drops the penny could hold was twenty but the outcome of this procudedure that my partner and i got was 16. This happened because of capillary action, and capillary action is the ability of a substance to draw another substance into it.

The scientist that would go here are called biologists, biologists study different species of animals. For example: reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and other different animals.

Earhtquake websearch
Question #1 Where do most earthquakes happen?
1. Most earthquakes happen when the plate tectonics collide together, by the pacific ocean and north America, they also occur near the Asian plate tectonic.
Question #2 Why do you think that is?
the plates that i listed (above) are major plates that collide together all the time. Sometimes they are massive earthquakes and sometimes you cant feel them.
Question#3 What is that area called?
The area is called the "Ring of Fire", and it is located in the Pacific Ocean.
Question #4 Where is the earthquake closest to Manitou Springs?
The closest earthquake to Manitou springs is in Denver and people in Manitou springs would not be able to feel it, also it would have to shake a lot more for it to be a magnitude 1. in a magnitude 1 there is more energy than the one in Denver
Question #5 Choose one earthquake that has happened in the past seven days. Research it, and tell me all about it. Are earthquakes common in this area? include one picture.
My earthquake that i am researching happened on the 15th of January 2009. It is East of the Kuril Islands,and this area doesn't have earthquakes often. The magnitude that it had was 8. Also it is 1110 miles from Japan.
