Week 3

If we don't study earth, and things that go on here on the earth, then how do you expect us to learn about other planets or things in space if we don't even know about earth? In order to Learn about other things in the solar system we have to not only know about but also understand earth too. Geoscientists study earth and how its systems work. Without geoscientists we wouldn't know a lot of things for example we wouldn't know what forces form mountains and we wouldn't know how mountains rise or how they are worn down by erosion or even about sediment and how it's deposited and eventually becomes rock again. Honestly geoscientists are AWESOME! As for "what can we do to make sure we Can make good decisions about the earth today and when we are adults" well I think that is a pretty self explanatory question. We can stop throwing trash out our window when were driving and just put it in a can when we get to where were going. We can also try riding a bike somewhere or walking instead of using our cars all they do is pollute but yes I do understand people need to get somewhere and it may be 10 miles away so ya but really if your going to your friends house and they live literally two blocks away I doubt you need to drive your car all the way there and all the way back when your ready to leave. I guess most of what were doing to this planet is do to laziness I mean throwing your trash out the window of your car thats a fact your being lazy and driving two blocks to your friends house you don't want to walk to great example of laziness. So maybe we should all just stop being lazy but ya in some cases you do need a car to go some places like work or school things like that.

Week 2

I think the most important rule is - (use extreme caution when using matches, a burner, or a hot plate. Only light burners when instructed and do not put anything into a flame unless specifically instructed to do so. Do not leave a lit burner unattended.)because if you were to leave a flame on unattended things could get out of hand and may result in the burning down of the school..... Yikes!!!! Also if you were careless with the flame someone could get hurt and that would be very upsetting! If this rule isn't followed people get get hurt property could get damaged and several other examples. The most useless rule would defiantly be ( dress appropriately - long hair must be tied back, dangling sleeves or jewelry, wear closed toe and heeled shoes.) I would hope people have the slightest bit of common sense and if You working with chemicals or fire tie your hair back unless for some reason you like the singed hair look and melted necklace look. A situation where this rule would apply is if your class was going to work with a burner and you had long hair and long necklaces on with flip flops on impersonally wouldn't want to catch on fire for a stupid reason such as my hair wasn't tied back.
