Project Blog Ocean Currents

Summary:
Currents move in different directions and have different names, they are not just one big current in the ocean. Anything with no power against the currents with be pulled along the direction of where the current is flowing. Ocean currents can form patches of garbage in the ocean which could kill many animals. Currents could be good and bad for both people and fish. So that is info about currents.
Backward-Looking:
I knew about the ocean before we started. But I never knew about currents within the oceans. I never even knew they all had different names. But this project did help me to understand currents and learn about them. So this says how much I knew before we started this currents project.
Inward-Looking:
I think I could've done a little better but I was kind of in a rush. And I did mess up on my map thing. I didn't really like to research about them and stuff like that. But I did enjoy the map thing more because it was a physical thing. But otherwise the project was fun.
Outward-Looking:
I would give a B because it wasn't my best work I could do. I could do better job but I couldn't because I messed up and I didn't' have much time. I ripped the paper a bit and had to cover it. And I couldn't get too much done on the essay. So that is why I would give this project a B.
Forward-Looking:
If I could I would change my map thing to not have a paper covering it. I would also like more time on the thing so I can try to go above and beyond on my project. I would add more work on my essay if I had time. And finally I would like to add more color on my map. So that is what I would change if I could.

Summary:
If you put cold water and warm water together you will see that the warm water floats at the top while the cold water sinks to the bottom as it is more dense than the warm water.

Summary:
Currents are movements of water in the world's oceans. They can be caused by hot and cold water mixing with each other. Or they can be caused by saltwater with fresh water. Or even wind can cause a current in the oceans. Currents can lead anything with no movement move along the currents which you could end up anywhere anytime.
SP2: Developing and using models
This week me and my group used a model to see how waste can travel by an ocean current. This is SP2: Developing and using models because we used a model to see how waste can travel.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
SPECIAL REPORT!
Written By: Justin P. Nguyen
Large numbers of dying fish have been reported in the Gray Bay!
Large numbers of dying fish have been reported in the Gray Area! Main Suspects have been questioned and the main sources of water have been tested for evidence. So far only some have been proven to be responsible for the dying fish, some doing it just for more money. But we think that one main suspect could be the hunters in the area like Elmo Skeeto because of the number of deer in Parallel Park has been booming which can cause massive erosion causing more dying fish.
Most of the fish investigated had clamped fins which indicates that they died from too little oxygen.
Information leaked that 21 of the fish tested died from too little oxygen. The highest amount of fish that have died from one cause out of the 50 that were tested. Too much deer grazing could cause massive amounts of erosion to spill into nearby rivers such as the Missterssippi River and the erosion causes more sunlight in the rivers depleting the oxygen levels in the water killing the fish in the water. Most of the deer's predator the mountain lion has been killed off allowing the deer to overpopulate causing erosion and killing fish.
The Missterssippi river is warmer than it was a couple years ago.
More sediment means more heat which means more dead fish. Parallel Park would cause lots of erosion because of the overpopulating deer. Parallel Park is very close to the Missterssippi. Which makes it a prime suspect of the dying fish.
Parallel Park is the closest thing to the Missterssippi River that can cause erosion.
The closest thing the Missterssippi River that can cause erosion besides Parallel Park would be the clear cut forest but barely any of the soil could get into the Missterssippi. There are mountains between the clear cut forest and the Missterssippi River. Only winds could carry the soil past the mountains into the Missterssippi river. But they would have to be very very powerful winds to do that. There is no evidence showing that there was sediment in the river that came from the clear cut forest.
The main suspects are hunters in the area like Elmo Skeeto.
They are responsible for many of the dying fish because they have killed off most of the mountain lions allowing deer to overpopulate and cause massive erosion to happen. The Missterssippi is more warmer than it was a couple of years ago. This is secondary evidence that proves that the hunters have allowed deer to overpopulate and caused the Missterssippi to become warmer. Finally it is because Parallel Park is the closest source for sediment to come pouring into the Missterssippi. The clear cut forest is too far away and is blocked by mountain for too much of its sediment to come through and affect the Missterssippi too much. I say we should limit the hunting or stop it if we want to prevent more fish dying. Thank You.

Summary
There have been many suspects so far for the dying fish. But some stand out and some don't some even doing it just for money. Many have been investigating in many ways of how the fish are dying. Like sediment, chlorine, oil, just to name a few. But now many clear suspects are starting to pop up now thanks to the many test done by many people to prove which people are responsible for the dying fish.

SP4: Analyzing and interpreting data
This week I made a test on drainages into a pond to see which one has been draining more phosphates into the pond. The results showed that the golf course drainage is draining high levels of phosphates into the pond which could kill many fish. This is SP4: Analyzing and interpreting data because I and experimenting to see who is most responsible for the dying fish.Sunday, February 28, 2016

Summary
A new project has started in a area called the Gray Area. This project is about a serious natural problem about the fish dying and washing up in the city. There have been many suspects like the toy factory, the oil rig, the water slide, and erosion from the forests. Although the answer is not clear there have been many suspicious activity from some emails from and to the owner of the water park. Finally the city hopes to put a stop of this menace of dying fish.
SP6: Constructing explanations and designing solutions
This week I had to research and check over maps, emails, newspaper articles and test results and I had to include them in a answer to a form. Therefore this is Constructing explanations and designing solutions because I constructed explanations about how the fish could be dying and I designed solutions as a attempt to find the culprit of the dying fish.
