Earth Science: Heading Its Wonders


⚠︎ "We are currently making ambitions into success, false to true, and dreams to reality." ⚠︎


RIGHTEOUSNESS' WIZARDS

————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Now for the finale post. School year's end is approaching and so does the finals of the students. Lets all read the wizard's essays about Scienece 10 during 4th quarter.




At last, stress would be over and so does the tons of schoolwork given by subject teachers. Science was fun and foreign for me. Why foreign? Because I was not informed that it would be very very very hard. Not the lessons but the given performance tasks. We were bombarded with tons of schoolworks in Sicnece. Unlike last year, there were performance tasks but it wasn't that hard and many. Maybe it's just me but seriously it gave a hard time to finish it all. Especially the Investigatory project, it was a pain in the head. Real talk. With all the revisions and incomplete parts, I had sacrificed sleepless nights just to edit it all.

Anyway, this last quarter we had discussed about earth, the layers and natural disasters. Earthquake is one of the most biggest catastrophe that can happen around the globe. If an unfortunate country got hit with a strong magnitude, many innocent lives will be affected. Nobody can stop it from happening but all of us need to prepare for the worst. Never neglect the tips and safety guidlines when an earthquake strikes to save yourself.

Finally it all came to the last quarter. Science was a lot of fun this school year. This 4th quarter finishes it all. We tackled about earth, our home planet. About its layers which was has a lot of complicated roots of studies. We also tackled about earthquakes and volcanoes. Waves was also our topic. Waves that went around the earth. We also had 2 quiz bees this quarter. We really studied hard for the quiz bees that we had because we weren't good at it during the previous quarters. Finally this school year is about to end, a lot of thanks to my group and to our leader for everything we have achieved all throughout the school year and mostly to sir Romie for teaching us and guiding us in this part of our lives.

-RAFER



In our fourth and last quarter we have studied about volcanoes and its effects. It was very useful for us students because this lessons help us learn more about our nature and its power. This also teaches us what to do when there is an earthquake naturally or caused by a volcano eruption. The lessons gives us guides about what we can do to prepare for an earthquake. The lessons also taught to us are about the different types of volcanoes. The lesson also mentiond PHIVOLCS. We also learned a few large scale eruptions and earthquakes that caused a lot of damage and deaths.
-CALMA

Endmost of the school year science is been part of my life moving forward with intense lessons and simple ones at similar circumstances. There were the circumstances were rest was the main answer and times were rest isn't generally a choice. This fourth quarter for me was startling; lessons were really less demanding contrasted with first, second and third. In this quarter we adapted more about geography or learn about the earth and how it moves and its historical foundation like how Pangaea was framed how many years. Different lessons likewise demonstrated us on how tremors occur and again additionally its recorded foundation on the past seismic tremors of history. In that lesson we additionally found out about what we ought to do when a quake strikes are zone, its about systems and legitimate guide and guidelines. So far science gave an impact in our lives for it contains more fascinating things than some past times. Lastly i want to express my gratitude toward Sir. Romie for showing us his effort for teaching science consistently and supporting us in all that we did in our life.

Through out the school year science has had its up's and downs facing tough challenges and easy ones at the same times. There were the times were sleep was the only answer and times were sleep isn't really an option. This 4th quarter for me was unexpected, lessons were actually easier compared to 1st, 2nd and 3rd. In this quarter we learned more about geology or the study about the earth and how it moves and its histroical background like how Pangaea was formed. Other lessons also showed us on how earthquakes occure and again also its historical background on the previous earthquakes of history. In that lesson we also learned about what we should do when an earthquake strikes are area, its all about procedures and proper guide and instructions. So far 4th quarter has been a blast in Science for it contained more interesting things than some previous lessons. I wanna thank Sir. Romie for teaching us throughout the year and supporting us in everything we did.

Chemistry Poems!

Bored? Or just killing some time while you're not doing anything? Well you found the right post! Here are five poems made by the wizards!

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Cesium By: Shienell Estrada

Oh cesium, how naive can you be more? To be this clueless with everything that's in store When you thought that nothing will be wrong It's the contrary that is too strong.

As you can see, I am a water Not just an ordinary water but an alkaline water I don't know if you just can't accept reality But do realize that both of us can result in catastrophe.


Caution should be our priority if you want "us" to be But there are dangerous risks to take and it won't be easy Yes, there might be a spark between us But who knows it might be the end of us.


At last we have found a way to have a bond But when everything is fine, an element wants me to abscond I was certain that you'll just ignore her because you have me But with your choice, I can't help but to firmly disagree.


I can't accept that you decided to be with oxygen 'Cause I had warned you the consequences when you're with oxygen If you and I can result a slight spark with just a droplet of you What more if you choose her between us two?


In the end, I selfishly want "us" back before oxygen came So I insist myself to push you away from her for you to tame Then because of my recklessness I had started a fire Not just an ordinary fire but a wildfire.










Oh Chemistry By: Ian Rafer


Oh Chemistry, Chemistry, Chemistry Why are you such a mystery We have chemicals everywhere Here and there

Over the years of history There are many components of chemistry And without chemistry Life would be a misery


Matter is gas, liquid, and solid Life without this is hard to bear with In experiments that we will still discover Chemistry will live on forever




These Changes By: Patrick Calma


A color change can change its color Like a silver metal turned to rust Like a joyful person But now a sad person

A temperature Change is being hot While being cold in the same hut Nobody knows what to expect Yet everyone is aware of the effect

These changes can be good Like eating a bunch of food These may be bad Like your favorite person being sad





Nothing Stays By: Adrian Prospero


In a world full of change In this world almost nothing can stay And yet here we are in this world full of strange Waiting for a moment until we turn grey

As things combine and form to conclusion Here we are sitting in confusion Wondering if matters even matter And our minds start to clutter

Reactions from interactions Or interactions from other reactions In this world full of change Everything will derange





Look At The Change
By: Kurt Viñas

Chemical change all atom
Changed properties different too
Chemical change I'm feeling strange
To try something new.

Combining thing, making things react
Oh my God, bonding is quite nice
Soli, liquid, gas study all those bonds.

Electrons are so nice
And equal but bonding
Has a troubled sequel
Iwould say ionic and metallic change.

The World of Chemistry!

RIGHTEOUSNESS' W I Z A R D S


———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Now the wizards are back and kicking to survive this month, or should I say hell month. It seems that  the lessons aren't that easy, together with all the performance tasks given to them. 




       And here goes another essay of mine. Third quarter is already rough for me. I had a hard time in focusing with the lessons taught by our Science teacher. I can somehow comprehend half of the lessons, which are the terms. The solving parts aren't that easy, for a kid (me) who is not fond of solving and memorizing formulas. It took days for me to finally understand how to solve a particular question/given by analyzing it. This is why I prefer memorizing terms over solving numbers. 

       Sir Romie gave us a recap of what's matter and it's phases. Then so,our first lesson for this quarter was tackled. It was about the different gas laws and who are the scientist who had found those. There is Boyle's, Graham's, Dalton's, Avogadro's, Gay-lussac's, Charles', and Ideal gas law. I was expecting computations again but I didn't know that it wasn't that hard. Sure, there are miscellaneous formulas to memorize but I managed with the help of my friends. Boyle's Law was the simplest and Ideal gas law is kinda difficult. I'm just happy that I was able to suppress the lesson and exams. But suffering is not yet done.

       Second lesson was about carbohydrates and lipids. All I thought about that time is food. Of course, they are the source of energy so that's why I thought of it. Next chapter was about proteins. Food came into my mind again, don't blame me. Then we tackled Levels of Protein Structure. It was the topic given to me for my info graphic. To be honest, I didn't understand my topic wholly so I really have to listen carefully. I was glad that those two chapters were all about memorizing terms until the next lesson came into picture.

       Chemical Transformation; the title of our next chapter. Computations are now present again. The way our teacher showed the solving part, it was easy but can't solve it in a flash. The balancing chemical equations involves law of conservation of mass. I don't want to be deceived but I can say that it wasn't hard, when it is just a small equation. Oh dear, how I hope I can compose myself until the end of the quarter.

-ESTRADA






This quarter in Science we tackled chemistry. Our first lesson is about Gas laws. The Gas laws in chemistry have 4 variables or branches. The first is Pressure, which is the force per unit area. The second one is Temperature, which is the hotness and coldness of a certain object. The third one is Volume, which is the amount of space an object occupies. The fourth and last one is Moles, which is a unit of measurement that is most likely used to measure chemical substances. These make up the gas laws. And in what I have learned most likely in gas laws if the temperature is in Celsius we change it to kelvin by adding 273. We also tackled about different formulas that are dealt in conversion in chemistry. But our main topic is Chemistry, which is a branch of science that studies about properties and change of matter.

-RAFER







Elements, Bonds, Laws These three are parts of studying a field of science called Chemistry. Our teacher gave us activities such as problem solving and multiple-choice types of quizzes. This helped us to understand our lesson and prepared for our exams. Everyone answered the exams and the exercises. Each one of us helped each other to pass and get higher grades.

The lesson, which is the hardest, is the laws such as Boyle's law, Law of Partial Pressures, Ideal Gas law and more. Why? Well because there were a lot of calculations and formulas our heads can't keep them in line. I hope that our teacher will involve us students more so that he can know where we lack and need to master more. Science for me is easy you just need to listen. Listen to your teacher and you will understand the lesson such as our current lessons. These lessons need a lot of listening, understanding and of course less of talking.

-CALMA





Gas laws are the hardest point of our first topic because I didn't listen to our teacher. I need to concentrate hard so I can understand it more. Our second topic is all about elements. Studying elements is easy our teacher taught us many activities and seat works. Our teacher taught what matter is and I know matter is all about space and mass like solid, liquid, gas, especially as distinct from energy. Our next lesson is chemicals it all about the bonds Compound bonds frame when two molecules trade or share at least one electron. These bonds hold the iotas together to frame mixes. There are two general sorts of bonds-ionic and covalent bonds. I discovered that I have to study and focus to our lesson.
-VIÑAS






Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies from composition, structure, and change of matter. Chemistry has topics like explaining the formulas for different types of gases, and the interactions of gases through pressure, volume, degree being applied and removed. I have learned that chemistry can be also called the central science because it focuses on natural science, with physics, geology and biology. I’ve also learned more about the kinds of matters, on how they react to a different environment. The hardest lesson for me is not really a lesson.
It's about memorizing the different kinds of formulas for a certain equation or problem to solve. I find it difficult to know what certain formula to use for a question or problem since information in the question is sometimes very limited. What i expect onwards the 3rd quarter is that it will get more difficult. I expect that, since 3rd quarter is considered the rush quarter ever since. The school year started late so what was once 3rd quarter periodicals on December are now on the following year, making it hard for old students to adjust for that certain situation.

As all of I expected, I know that we will all make it through the 3rd quarter with our adviser that also are science teacher leading our way to make things more understandable in this mix of science chemistry.
